Maryland town may block Ahmadis from gathering
The rural town of Walkersville is considering a zoning ordinance that could block plans for annual gatherings by thousands of members of the persecuted Ahmadiyya Muslim sect.The proposal, aired at a town meeting on Wednesday, would prohibit places of worship, educational facilities and private clubs on land zoned for agricultural use. Syed Ahmad, who is managing Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USAs pending purchase of 224 acres (90.65 hectares) of Walkersville farmland, said on Friday the group will not fight to go where it is not wanted.
