‘When the blood starts’: Spike in Ahmadi persecution in Pakistan

'When the first bullet whizzed past Sheikh Nasir Ahmad’s ear, he brushed at it, thinking it was a mosquito, out on an unseasonably cool August night in the central Pakistani town of Lalamusa.

Before he was able to react, however, two gunmen on a motorcycle pulled up alongside him and shot him four times, hitting his right leg, lower back and the right arm he used to try and shield himself from the hail of bullets...

...Police say Ahmad was targeted due to his faith, one of a spate of violent attacks targeting the Ahmadis, their places of worship and even their graves in Pakistan in 2020.

The last year has seen a spike in violent attacks against Ahmadis, and a tenfold increase in blasphemy cases lodged against them.

Community members and rights groups say the spike has been fuelled by the rise of the far-right Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) religious group, and the efforts of a single religious scholar in the eastern city of Lahore, Hassan Muawiya...

...In 2020, at least five Ahmadis were killed in targeted attacks by gunmen across Pakistan, while at least seven others were wounded in unsuccessful attacks, according to community data...'

Its kinda scary to think that a religion can put so much power to do harm into the hands of a single religious leader (Hassan Muawiya).

You have provided yet another example of Religion in Action.

Perhaps a religious person on here can tell me why any god wants a human to shoot other humans.

I hate abrahamic religions because they have proven to be the worst of the lot.

It makes people do these types of things on a regular basis.

Horrible.

Those that shoot people with different (non) faith, I call murderers, not religious at all. Murderers is the proper word for such people creatures

Furthermore, these people violate also "Freedom of Religion", and also "Freedom of Speech". They don't deserve to be called human

Humans behave humane, which they don't. Those are just demonic monsters, lacking love, compassion, empathy.
