Looking forward to testify at this important hearing:

[Amjad Mahmood Khan @AmjadMKhanEsq]

Extremely saddened to learn of the targeted killing of two Ahmadi Muslims—Ghulam Sarwar and Rahat Ahmad Bajwa—in Pakistan today. A state cannot be unwilling to combat the scourge of hate and vitriol against a vulnerable community. Pakistan must protect all of its religious communities.

Saddened by QAU’s decision to cancel the Salam festival. Probably also the right time to point out that Mr Jinnah the Quaid e Azam considered Ahmadis Muslim. قائداعظم جن کے نام پر قائداعظم یونیورسٹی ہے احمدیوں کو مسلمان سمجھتے تھے۔

[Yasser Latif Hamdani @theRealYLH]

I consider the 2nd Amendment as nothing less than a crime against humanity. It has stripped a section of Pakistani citizens of their constitutional right to self identify which is a god given inalienable right.

[Yasser Latif Hamdani @theRealYLH]

A reminder: this is the 50th year of the continuing persecution of Ahmadis in Pakistan. All Pakistanis who want to undo this injustice must speak up the little they can to condemn the 2nd Amendment which is a blot on the name of our homeland. I am looking at you in the diaspora

Sadly that simple principle and common sense evaded the so called progressive and largely “secular” parliament in 1970s. First they instituted a state religion and next arrogated to themselves the role of the Council of Nicaea of Islam.

[Yasser Latif Hamdani @theRealYLH]

It should be clear enough to all reasonable Pakistanis (a rare commodity) that the state (a temporal construct) has no business defining who is a Muslim and who is not. As Mr Jinnah said a person’s faith has nothing to do with the business of the state.

[Yasser Latif Hamdani @theRealYLH]

50 years is too long a period for religious tyranny to persist. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the 2nd Amendment. There will be no sectarian peace in Pakistan so long as 2nd Amendment stays.

[Amjad Mahmood Khan @AmjadMKhanEsq]

Thanks for openly admitting to legal apartheid of a community. The first step to reform is acceptance.

[AMLA USA @AMLAUSA]

As the @CIJ_ICJ considers a weighty case regarding the ongoing armed conflict between Israel and Hamas, the International Ahmadiyya Muslim Lawyers Association unequivocally condemn the unlawful mass killing of innocent civilians and the commission of war crimes and other atrocities.

[AMLA USA @AMLAUSA]

Today, we write in the same vein. And we heed the words and prayer of His Holiness Mirza Masroor Ahmad, Worldwide Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, that all Governments may fulfil their obligations to establish peace and just with respect to this conflict:

[AHMEDIA @AhmediaStudios]

Sir Muhammad Zafrullah Khan, first Foreign Minister of #Pakistan, sounded the alarm @UN in 1947, warning against the violation of Palestinian rights. His powerful speech echoes the tragic reality we witness today. #Gaza #VoicesforPeace

[Amjad Mahmood Khan @AmjadMKhanEsq]

This bigotry has no place in our country. We must calm tensions or risk seeing further hate crimes against innocent Americans.

[AMLA USA @AMLAUSA]

Well said, @AkyolMustafa!

[Mustafa Akyol @AkyolinEnglish]

The persecution of the Ahmadis in Pakistan is a disgrace. It is also a wake up call to accept the basic principle of religious freedom:

Every religious tradition can define its notions of orthodoxy versus heresy. But none has the right to persecute what it sees as heresy.
