^^ Why is it all about what few Ahmadis want and why isn't it about what Muslims want ??
Because what Ahmadis are demanding does not take anything away from another community, it does not discriminate against another community, it does not prevent free speech by another community.
Demands by Muslims do all of the above.
The Bottom line is , Qadiyanis are declared kafirs Thus they cannot call themselves Muslims it does not make any sense at all does it to you ?
It does not make sense for the State to prevent Ahmadis from calling themselves what they wish to.
As for the various Muslim sects, they can continue to believe what they want about the Ahmadis and preach to their flock about them as they wish, so long as they are no preaching hatred, violence, prejudice and discrimination - especially by the State.
What you believe as an individual is your personal and private belief, do not impose it on others.
If they can prove themselves that they are Muslims than they have every right to associate themselves with Islam but we all know they cant because they are Wrong !
They should not have to prove anything about their faith to be treated equally by the State and be allowed to exercise their rights and freedoms. It is not the business of the State to determine who is a Muslim and who is not - that is up to Allah.
The various Islamic shools of thought are within their rights to declare Ahmadis non-Muslim, on a private level.
They are like any other Minority ie Christians or Hindus thus they need to have their own ideantity and not to misuse ours .
There is no 'misuse' here, they wish to call themselves Muslim because that is what they believe they are, and others do not (or shoudl not) have the right to force them to do otherwise.
Its like using someone else's Passport or ID card or Drivers license which is a crime , is it too hard to understand ?
That is a poor analogy - a passport or ID card being misused has serious potential repercussions for the individual in case of crime, ID theft etc.
The use of a particular label by a community does not have that impact on an individual (or should not at least). Where we do see the 'label of Muslim' being misused and having an impact on Muslims everywhere is through the actions of Muslims carrying out terrorism, which causes some to look at all Muslims suspiciously (which is not the right thing to do but is happening anyway), and there are no Ahmadi's involved in those acts are there?
