| Ahmadi Muslims face persecution from other Muslims in Wales |
| 2017-05-10 |
| [BBC] Members of a Muslim sect in Cardiff [Wales] claim they are facing discrimination from other Muslims in the city. Worshippers at the Ahmadiyya mosque in Canton said other Muslims had shunned them, with one claiming he was sacked from a restaurant and another that he was accosted for selling Islamic books. Ahmadis have been declared non-Muslim in Pakistan because they do not believe Mohammed was the final prophet. The Muslim Council of Wales (MCW) said it "abhorred" any type of persecution. The Equality and Human Rights Commission confirmed it had "received correspondence" about the matter. In a written statement, the MCW said: "Sunni and Shia Muslims do not recognise Mirza Gulam Ahmad as the Messiah... whereas the Ahmadiyya do. "This forms a theological schism, and one which the majority of Sunni and Shia scholars consider to mean that Ahmadiyyas have moved beyond mainstream Islam. Ahmadi spokesmen in the West go on TV every chance they get to tell us how tolerant Islam is. |
