| Ahmadis continued to be murdered and attacked for their faith and discriminated against by the state and society in 2006, according to the annual Ahamdiyya community report. One of the major incidents of the year was a riot at Jhando Sahi, Daska tehsil, Sialkot district, during which local Ahmadis were made to flee their homes by sectarian zealots in the presence of the police, who refused to restore calm on the excuse that the riot might spread to other villages, says the annual report. Press freedom, a flagship human rights policy of the government, was selectively denied to the Ahmadiyya press, says the report. The printer and publisher of the Daily Alfazal were booked under the Anti-Terrorism Act. Sultan Ahmad Dogar, the printer, has been incarcerated since September 9, 2006. |

| #2 The Ahmadis fought for Pakistan and they got their land of the pure. Except they're not pure enough to live in it. They wanted religious bigotry.. well they got it.. Hindus overshadowed all walks of life in India, causing Muslims harm in many ways. On top of that Muslims were divided, they could not put up a united front against the Hindu majority. Hudhoor tried to unite the Muslims by suggesting that despite various religious beliefs, any person who calls himself a Muslim should be considered a Muslim. So let all Muslims strive hard to unite and work together. |

| #1 From the official website of the Ahmadiyya community History bears ample testimony to the fact that Ahmadiyya Jamaat was at the forefront for the creation of Pakistan. When the British decided to partition the sub-continent into two independent states, Hudhoor made useful suggestions toward safeguarding the interests of Muslim community. In view of the disagreements amongst the Muslims of India, Qaide Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah had taken up permanent residence in London. Through his representative in London Maulana A.R. Dard, Hudhoor urged Mr. Jinnah to return to India to lead the Muslims in their political struggle. In March 1933 Maulana Dard met Mr. Jinnah in his office in King's Bench Walk, London and invited him to the Mosque in order a give a talk on the "The Future of India". Maulana Dard succeeded in getting a promise from Mr. Jinnah to return to India and resume the leadership of Indian Muslims. Upon his return he started the movement for the creation of Pakistan by uniting the Muslims under the banner of All India Muslim League. By the grace of Allah Mr. Jinnah's efforts were blessed with astonishing success. Hudhoor gave moral, constitutional, and financially support to Mr Jinnah in carving out a homeland for the Muslims now called Pakistan. |
