H300, you are right. The Ahmadis in most countries are disliked and abused and called Kafir. i.e. total kafir and outside the pale of Islam by the mainline muslims. They are also considered (in Pakistan) liable to be killed any any time any where.
Officially ( by law) they are considered non-Muslim. they cannot pray openly. Cannot call their place of worship as a mosque. They cannot make a call for prayer (Aazaan). They cannot say Assalam u Alaikum to any one. There is a punishment of three years in Jail for all such things.
So what could be more respect for the Ahmadis in some countries ! Yet they are surviving. They are non political people. They are present with their missions in about 190 countries of the world and to some reports, they number more than 150 million members.
whisper has suggested that you read some book of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. Please do and let us know the result. whisper had whispered in the ears of Israfil about not playing it loud lest minuteman hear anything. I say whisper picked on the wrong guy. It is the duty of Israfil to sound the bugle at full force. Israfil is just waiting for the order from Allah to blow the whistle.
