the saddest part is this portion of the article and which sums up everything that i wanted to say:
*"But more incomprehensible is how nothing really changed.
*Within days ordinary service was resumed and Ahmadis were forced to return to their isolation. The violence may have been over but the ideology persisted. With chilling seamlessness the events of 28 May, 2010 were cut away from history. *
*But history is a more persistent beast and the spirits that ought to have been exorcised on that day continue to haunt the country and in the years since numerous more innocent lives have been cruelly snatched away by the fire of sectarian enmities. Recent attacks in Shikarpur, Youhanabad and Safoora Chowk are sufficient to show that lessons have not been learnt.
*The clearest revelation of Lahore was its exposure of the dark heart of Pakistan, a country that cannot reconcile itself to its core existential identity sufficiently enough to loosen the shackles of hate. *
*The sad part is that maybe it never will"

Remember the Ahmadis of Lahore, remember the forgotten

It was really a tragedy , my many close friends were Ahmdis , Many lived near us , there was no such hate in our child hood .

Unfortunately, as long as maligning Ahmadis is fair game, and they are viewed as vile for purely being Ahmadis, I don’t think the majority will ever stand up for the rights of Ahmadis. I think the highlighted sentence in the article pretty much sums it up.
Outside of Pakistan, Ahmadis are renowned for their admirable philanthropic contributions. If anything the majority in Pakistan, should be proud of being associated with them.
Re: Remember the Ahmadis of Lahore, remember the forgotten
Can someone give a quick summary of Ahmadi beliefs? I haven’t met any Ahmadis but I know that they are a sect in Islam. But what exactly is it that sets them apart from the majority of Muslims? In beliefs I mean?
Re: Remember the Ahmadis of Lahore, remember the forgotten
^ their beliefs are not being discussed here. This is Pakistan Affairs section. They are being discussed as marginalized Pakistani citizens.
