In a disturbing incident, a mob demolished an under-construction house belonging to an Ahmadi in Shah Faisal Colony, Karachi. The attack was incited by false claims that the building was intended to be a mosque, further inflaming anti-Ahmadi sentiment.
The destruction comes just five days after a similar act of intolerance in Punjab province. On September 10, police backed by the Pak Army raided an Ahmadi place of worship on an agricultural farm in Okara. The raid resulted in the destruction of minarets and the defacement of the Kalima, a sacred Islamic inscription. This brazen act of vandalism underscores a broader and deeply entrenched campaign by the Paki establishment to marginalize and terrorize the Ahmadi community.
The Paki establishment’s ongoing persecution of Ahmadis is manifest in various forms, from the demolition of Ahmadi homes, mosques to the desecration of their graves. For nearly four decades, since 1985, Ahmadis have been stripped of their basic democratic rights, including the right to vote unless they renounce their Islamic faith. This effectively denies them citizenship and a voice in their own country, thus normalising their brutal persecution of them.
In the Islamic Republic, even mosques are vandalized, and Ahmadis, who share the same faith, are treated brutally. This reflects the extremist mindset of the terrorist-harboring nation. These are just the reported incidents—one can only imagine how bone-chilling the unreported ones might be.
