11 Pakistani Ahmadi Muslims murdered for their faith in 2014, report says

A report issued by the worldwide Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in London today says that extremists in Pakistan murdered eleven Ahmadi Muslims in faith-based attacks during 2014, bringing the total to 143 Ahmadi murders since 2000.

The three most lethal years for Ahmadi Muslims living in Pakistan since 2000 have come in 2010, 2012, and 2014 shows a clear upward trend in fatal anti-Ahmadiyya over the last five years, the report asserts.

In one incident, the reports says, a mob of 150 attacked an Ahmadi Muslim neighbourhood in Gujranwala and locked a group of Ahmadi Muslims in a house before setting it alight, killing one lady, two children and an unborn child.

Other attacks included police taking an Ahmadi Muslim man into custody for practicing his ‘blasphemous’ faith, before allowing a local boy access to his cell, where he shot the prisoner of conscience dead.

In another instance, an American Ahmadi Muslim cardiac surgeon traveled to Pakistan on a three-week humanitarian mission, before being brutally murdered for his faith. Extremists show no respect to those who serve Pakistan; a retired member of the Pakistan Air Force, Lateef Alam Butt, was murdered for his faith in his hometown.

Despite the continued persecution, Ahmadi Muslims in Pakistan and around the world respond only through prayer, patience and law-abiding means, the report proclaimed.
