R.E.A.L. Denounces UK Anti-Ahmadiyya Muslim Hatred

Washington DC: March 27, 2016. (PCP) Responsible for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.) stands in support of religious liberty and universal human rights, including all those persecuted for religious liberty, such as the Ahmadiyya Muslims who have been oppressed and persecuted in Pakistan, Indonesia and other parts of the world. In Pakistan, as R.E.A.L. has repeatedly pointed out, Ahmadiyya Muslims have been the targets of violent terrorism and legalized persecution by the Pakistan government, which seeks to deny their status as Muslims. In 1984, the oppressive Pakistan government passed a law making it illegal for Ahmadiyya Muslims to be considered Muslims. The United Nations also concurs in recognition of their persecution in Pakistan. Furthermore, R.E.A.L. has recently seen and condemned religious persecution of Ahmadiyya Muslims in Indonesia which seeks to target and deny religious freedom. R.E.A.L. has regularly stood in support of these persecuted Muslims, and continues to stand for their freedoms, as we stand for the freedoms of all as part of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights R.E.A.L. has had Ahmadiyya Muslims at our human rights events, publicized their persecution, and met them in Ahmadiyya mosques. Ahmadiyya Muslims have also shared calls for protection of other persecuted religious minorities at R.E.A.L. events, including standing in support of persecuted Pakistan Christians. R.E.A.L. stands in support of Ahmadiyya Muslims' shared universal human rights and freedoms. R.E.A.L. has reported such persecution at our blog and on Social Media and at R.E.A.L. human rights day events. So it greatly distresses R.E.A.L. to hear of anti-Ahmadiyya Muslim activist groups in the United Kingdom (UK) and elsewhere praising the persecution of Ahmadiyya Muslims. R.E.A.L. rejects such anti-human rights hatred, praise of persecution, and even those praising terroristic violence. In the UK, there has been a series of reports of persecution of Ahmadiyya Muslims reported by the BBC - "Ahmadiyya 'targeted by hate campaign', " reported by the Guardian - "Ahmadi Muslims in UK call for urgent action against hate," reported by the Wimbeldon Guardian - " Religious hate leaflets found in Tooting, Streatham and Kingston," and reported by the Independent - "Hardliners call for deaths of Surrey Muslims," there has been reports over the past six years on a growing campaign of hate and calls for violence in the UK against Ahmadiyya Muslims. These UK media reports have repeatedly described threats and acts of sectarian violence by extremists, who claim they have Islamic religious authority to spread such hatred against Ahmadiyya Muslims. This has included religious leaders that have sought boycotts against Ahmadi businesses, vandalism of Ahmadi mosques, and leaflets calling for the murder of Ahmadi Muslims in Kingston-upon-Thames. R.E.A.L. has been aware of a UK-based organization, which calls itself the Khatme Nubuwwat Academy, which has led a campaign against the persecuted Ahmadiyya Muslims. The UK-based Khatme Nubuwwat Academy considers itself an Islamic group and focuses on disparaging persecuted Ahmadiyya Muslims, which it calls on its website the derogatory term "Qadiyanism" or "Qadianis." The UK-based Khatme Nubuwwat Academy uses this derogatory slur of “Qadianis" in calling Ahmadiyya Muslims an "unrighteous cult, kafir and non-muslim." The UK-based Khatme Nubuwwat Academy website calls Ahmaids as "traitors" "to Islam."
