It doesnt say anywhere that you will be imprisoned just because you are an Ahmedi . your basic rights are present and unharmed.
Because Ahmadis are Muslim and declaring that makes them criminals under this law which is a violation of human rights.
I am guessing your particular faith does not have much respect for human rights but this is a separate issue. The prevailing human rights laws are quite clear on this and Pakistan is a signatory of universal declaration of human rights which clearly forbids this sort of persecution. This takes us back to the discussion on Islamic Republic as its since then that these commonly acceptable human rights have been trampled over. Its not just Ahmadis even xtians and Hindu some of whom have been living in this area for centuries and were pretty much equal citizens till 1973 became achoots overnight since Islamic Republic came into being. This was really a step backward and it is difficult for Pakistan and Pakistanis to blame other countries such as Indians for violation of human rights when their own home is not in order. It also reflects on non-Ahmadi Islam as not being a religion of tolerance and respect.

however in the best interest of Islam , any faith cant just be allowed to stand up and claim to be muslims whilst going against the very basics of Islam. Eg the followers of Osama bin laden or the terrorists ... they say they are imposing Islamic shariah , but they are killing mercilessly , which is not part of Islam and strictly against the teachings of the Sunnah.
Therefore it is our right to let the world know that they are not muslims. We are not killing them or harming them, we are just protecting our religion for being taken wrong.

What has that got to do with Ahmadis. It is a Wahabi/Deobandi phenomenon. No one (at least no state) has declared Osama non-Muslim as far as I am aware. In fact he is still revered by many.

thats exactly the case with Ahmediah faith. you have your own faith , it has nothing to do with Islam or muslims ... therefore the law is there to ensure no aggressive preaching happens ... coz it will only cause problems ...
I live in the west and the laws here do not allow aggressive preaching of any religion. to avoid unnecessary rifts .

You can not stop people from calling themselves what they consider themselves. You can agree or disagree with it but you can’t not bar others form holding their opinion particularly about themselves. In west no one persecutes Ahmadis for calling themselves Muslims and preaching and professing their faith so your example on west is wrong and misplaced.
