Pakistani Canadian “liberal” Tarek Fatah’s views about Ahmadiyya Muslims
Source: Twitter and Facebook
Written by: Tarek Fatah
Did you hear about the new ‘Caliph of Islam’ in Iraq? But did you know there is a dude in London who is also #KhalifaOfIslam ‘Caliph of Islam’?
I’m not demonizing Ahmadiya Muslims, merely proving that Ahmadis are as hostile to criticism as ISIS and equally medeival
Ahmadis organized a jihadi Lashkar to invade Jammu and Kashmir alongside the Tribals who went on a rampage of death in 1947?
Which Indegenous uprising? Ahmadis commited rape/murder of Kashmiris in the name of Islam, Pakistan & lies of MA Jinnah
This group (Ahmadis) was backed by the British Raj so even though they r equally repressive of women & gays, west is ok with them
The idiocy of believing in a worldwide ‘Caliph of Islam’ is a dangerous concept that is both tribal & medieval.
If Ahmadiya Muslims can have a ‘Caliph of Islam’ then why not ISIS too? Both claim to be ‘Caliphs of all Muslims’.
You believe and promote a “Caliph of Islam” in this day and age, and then have the audacity to suggest ‘logic’. @Omaidus
Ahmediyyas were partners in the Hindu-hate that ultimately created Pakistan, any decent historian would know that
Yes @theRealYLH your Ahmadiya community collaborated with the British Raj and were rewarded for that work. Their work in splitting India too.
As a Brit Muslim @MuslimIQ do u believe in someone being a ‘Caliph of Islam”? & between the ISIS ‘Caliph of Islam’ & your ‘Caliph of Islam”?
who appointed him as the #KhalifaOfIslam? If he’s Caliph of Islam, then what about Muslims who reject his caliphate?
Ahmadis and the ISIS have the same ultimate goal: establish sharia rule all over the world.
Of course you support the Caliph of Ahmadia Muslims @theRealYLH, why deny? On top of it u claim to be secular
Pak Tea House (edited by Raza Rumi and Yasser Latif Hamdani) is a partisan Ahmaiyya community organ that tries to cover up their ties to Company Bahadu. Pak Tea House (PTH) is not an open platform it is a disgrace to the memory of Pak Tea House and a reservoir of lies.
Ah haa the full Ahmadiya cavalry is here. A people as intolerant of criticism of their very own ‘Caliph of Islam’ as the Fatimide, Umayad, Ottoman and now ISIS ‘Caliph of Islam’.
If you had your ‘Caliph of Islam’ in a jurisdiction with an Ahmadiya majority, I dread the role of the parliamentarian or legislature that would have their own Vilayat Faqih Supreme Leader with veto power and the threat of excommunication that medeival popes had.
I have stood for your rights as Ahmadiya Muslims knowing fully well how awful life would be if God forbid you guys ran the ship as a majority. Look at the subjugate on of your female gender and gay Ahmadia. Don’t get arrogant by kissing up to the State Department and positioning yourself as the alternate to extremism when your own orthodoxy and support of your own version of Sharia law is quote well known.
the problem with these insecure men of medieval cults us that they too cannot take criticism. Their fascist streak is known to the men and women they have excommunicated for marrying non-Muslim, a term they use internally for non-Ahmadiyya Muslims.
Your medeival ways are exposed to your own wives and daughters who have been ‘expelled’ from the ‘caliphate’. You can fool some white liberals and Company Bahadur that your forefathers served, but spare me this drivel.
Shame on those who collaborated with the Pakistan Army on the 1971 Genocide of Bangladeshis and who support the Occupation of Balochistan by Pakistan and then talk of spirituality.
I suppose sending jihadi Lashkar to Kashmir in the 1947 rape and looted of fellow Muslims too was spiritual eh?
People like you who market their victimhood and serve just their own cults while kissing the shoes of supposed Caliphs belong to the 8th century, not the 21st.
You send your wives, mothers and daughters to the back of the bus in your mosques and expect me to call you a ‘friend’?
I have defended Ahmadiya rights in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Canada as well as Indonesia, not because I believe in some make belief’ Caliph of Islam’, but because I believe in universal justice. You guys on the other hand are members of a cult. Beholden to a fellow human who claims to be Allah’s Representative on Earth!

The world praises the Ahmadiyya Muslim Khilafat for, amongst other things, its promotion of world peace, stand for universal freedom of conscience, speaking up for universal justice and condemnation of religious bigotry and extremism. Some haters like Tarek S. Fatah remain jealous. They ask, “where are peaceful Muslim leaders?” while hypocritically asking the most peaceful of them to be condemned in the same breath.

Zeshan Mirza Guys seriously stop labelling. It’s not what our Khalifa would want us to do. By calling Ismail Bey a liar what purpose will that serve. I cannot bite my tongue any longer. This greatly upsets me. We must show a better example as Ahmadis.

Being an Ahmadie doesn’t mean to sit back and let people lie, and he associated a lie towards the Holy Quran. If you want a proof, ask for it. I asked him several times to clarify his stance, and then I called him a liar.

Yasser Latif Hamdani Tarek Fatah also accused Ahmadis shamelessly of being British collaborators. Some defender he is. He is a hatemonger who will use whatever whereever to help his cause. Look at his tweets about Olivia Chow, the mayor of Toronto…. he is castigating her for taking a picture with some group.

Tayyab Pirzada This is the fifth and current Khalifa, Mirza Masroor Ahmad (may Allah be his helper). He is the only Muslim leader to deliver a speech at the European Parliament in Brussels which was about “responding to the challenge of extremism.” He also delivered a speech at United States Capitol Hill, Washington, D.C. attended by politicians of both Republican and Democratic parties, in which he outlined the Islamic solution to peace and condemned American foreign policy in which they extract resources from Muslim countries while initiating war.
He has also sent letters of warning to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran as well as the Grand Ayatollah of Iran, Sayyed Ali Hosseini Khamenei, Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis, President Barack Obama of the USA, Prime Minister Stephen Harper of Canada, and Prime Minister David Cameron of the United Kingdom, Angela Merkel, the Chancellor of Germany, the President of France, François Hollande, the Premier of China, Wen Jiabao, and King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz al-Saud of Saudi Arabia urging them to create peace in the world to avoid a World War III, which he thinks is imminent from the current situation in the world.
He has also condemned the Syrian situation, and also condemned Israel’s injustices against Palestine.
He has recently also vehemently condemned the atrocities of ISIS.
He is a supporter of peace and freedom from injustice no matter who are afflicted, but especially for the Muslim Ummah, whom he constantly prays for and advises Ahmadis to pray for in his Friday Khutbas.

Tayyab Pirzada As an Ahmadi Muslim, I already have a Caliphate (the only Islamic Caliphate in existence for the past century) which unlike ISIS’, promotes the motto “love for all, hatred for none” and does not seek political authority. The worldwide Caliph of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, Mirza Masroor Ahmad, recently condemned ISIS as being opposed to the true teachings of Islam. If the Muslim world needs a Caliph in my opinion, it’s him. A direct result of following him would be the end of all Islamist terrorism and jihadism.

Loyalists of the British Empire

Canadian activist and polemicist Tarek Fatah, responding to my article ‘Shorish Kashmiri, Azad and partition’ last week (Daily Times, June 30, 2014) thought it wise to declare, on Twitter, that what I had written about Shorish Kashmiri was inspired by Ahmedi propaganda. He declared that no Ahmedi had fought against the British and that the British had sustained the Ahmedi community and rewarded it time and again. This, of course, is the standard line of the mullahs in Pakistan, a line that has been forwarded time and again by Tehreek-e-Khatm-e-Nabuwat and Majlis-e-Ahrar. This was also the elaborate fiction that Shorish Kashmiri invented along with Ataullah Shah Bokhari and Mazhar Ali Azhar of Ahrar in the 1940s to attack the Muslim League and discredit it as the authoritative representative of Muslims. What is strange however is that a self-styled progressive refusenik like Fatah, who does not tire of attacking Muslims otherwise, has chosen to repeat this distortion of history.
The biggest issue the scholars of Deobandi and Barelvi schools had with the Ahmedis was that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the founder of the sect, had reinterpreted the doctrine of jihad as more than qital (fighting). Consequently, the Ahmedi community as a whole remained constitutional and law-abiding citizens of British India. The Ahmedi religious movement itself had been at the forefront of the missionary activities of the church. Mirza Ghulam Ahmed, before founding the Ahmedi sect, had been considered the intellectual champion of Muslims against the onslaught of the Christian west and the re-absorption activities of Hindu sects like the Arya Samajists. A peaceful, hardworking and enterprising community, the Ahmedis produced the likes of Sir Zafrullah Khan who was one of the finest advocates in law, the president of the Muslim League for a while, one of Pakistan’s founders and later head of the International Court of Justice. For this reason, Ahmedis are denounced as British agents even though there is not a single Ahmedi who received any patronage or pension from the British Empire.
Let us, however, look at the roles of those other groups who were considered to be at the forefront of the Independence Movement. That the Hindu reform and revival movement itself owed a great deal to British patronage after 1857 can hardly be disputed. Needless to say, the most celebrated freedom fighter in all of South Asia, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, made his name as a recruiter for the British Empire before and during the First World War. When Jinnah asked Gandhi to join the movement for Indian self-rule, Gandhi’s condescending reply, in olde English, was, “First ye seek the recruiting office” and then the British will open their doors to his petitions. For his stellar services to the British Empire, in 1915 Gandhiji was awarded the Kaiser-e-Hind medal — the highest honour for a loyal British Indian subject.
Hindus were not the only ones to receive this patronage by the empire. Almost all Deobandi religious leaders — supposedly the most militant of anti-British elements — and all Barelvi ulema were on the payroll of the empire. This is how they sustained a living and ample proof can be found in their own books. For example, in Sawanay-e-Qasimi — the biography of Maulana Qasim Nanawatvi — page 103 credits Maulana Fazlur Rahman Muradabadi with having facilitated the English capture of Lucknow. On page 247 of the same book we find that Deobandi religious figures were proud of being pensioners of the British Empire and used it to prove their loyalty to the monarch. The biography of Maulana Rashid Gangohi, Tazkira-e-Rasheed, on page 80 has the great Deobandi freedom fighter claiming that he was entirely loyal to the British Empire. On page 160 of the Tehreek-e-Shaikh-ul-Hind, we find that another ‘freedom fighter’ and the Dean of Darul Uloom Deoband, Hafiz Maulana Muhammad Ahmad, was given the title of “Shams-ul-Ulema” by the British governor of UP. His most famous student was Maulana Hussain Ahmad Madni, the great ally of the Congress Party and the leader of Jamiat-e-Ulema-Hind — another ‘freedom fighter’. He is considered a great hero of the freedom movement by Pakistani Islamists and Indian nationalists. The entire Deoband edifice was built on official patronage and British pensions.
Now let us come to the other side of the Hanafi Sunni coin: the Barelvis. Ahmad Raza Khan Barelvi was principally a supporter of British rule and declared jihad against the British to be unlawful. His fatwa can be found on page 447 of his treatise Al-Mohajat, Al Mohtamanat Fi Ayat-al-Mumtahanat. Francis Robinson, in his book Separatism Amongst Indian Muslims: The politics of UP Muslims 1860-1923 on page 268 confirms the pro-government fatwas of Ahmad Raza Khan Barelvi.
Similarly, the Shias by and large remained loyal and law abiding citizens of the empire though it must be said to their credit that, unlike the Barelvis and Deobandis, they were not patronised by the British. A sub-sect of Shia Islam, the Ismailis, both Agha Khanis and Bohris, looked towards the British Raj as a means to protect them from hostile sectarian majorities. Indeed, so close was the relationship of Sir Agha Khan to the British that Kemal Ataturk publicly accused the Agha Khan of working for the British against Turkey, though unjustifiably. Needless to say, Kemal Ataturk himself has also been accused of being a British agent by latter day votaries of the pan-Islamic khilafat.
The point I wish to make is this: people interacted with the empire in different ways. Some people, very few and far between, did take up arms against the empire, more often for reasons wholly unsavoury than noble ones. Others worked within the system or were its beneficiaries. The accusation targeting one community or the other of having been ‘British agents’ is therefore farfetched and wholly unfounded. As free men and women in the 21st century, we should approach modern realities without the rancour that our blinkered views on history cause. As for Tarek Fatah, given his penchant to attack minorities like Ahmedis, the logical question is whether he feels any pang of hypocrisy vis-à-vis the fact that he is a Canadian subject of the Queen of England?
