Sectarian war on UK turf: Ahmadi mosques introduce extra security to stop terrorist attacks
[RT] British members of the Ahmadi sect, seen as heretics by most Moslems, have had to install "airport-style" metal detectors and conduct searches in their mosques to avoid a spillover of religious antagonism that is currently rocking the Islamic world."Our community is under attack by holy warriors but our commitment to peace and love is unshakeable. We appreciate the work of the authorities and they must continue to work diligently for the protection and safety of all citizens," Farooq Aftab, a member of the Ahmadiyya Moslem Community UK (AMC) told the Times. "People who don’t think we are Moslems are entitled to their own point of view, but a line must be drawn because violence cannot be justified," said Aftab. "We can disagree, but we have a right to freedom of religion. Inspired by the teachings of a 19th century Ahmadis diverge from mainstream Islamic teachings, primarily in believing that Mohammed was not the last prophet of Allah, and in rejecting military jihad. They comprise 30,000 ‐ fewer than 1 percent of UK’s Islamic population ‐ but have had to relocated their headquarters to London to avoid persecution elsewhere. Posted by: Fred 2017-11-27 |
