Pardon my ignorance, but how is Ahmadiya sect vis a vis Sunni Islam any different from Islam vis a vis Christianity?
Devout Christians say that Jesus was the Son of God whereas Muslims say he was just a prophet. I understand that the Quran denies the divine nature of Jesus. Similarly, Ahmadiyyas have a different view on who the last prophet was. Just as Islam built on the existing beliefs of its time, so have Ahmadiyyas built on pre-existing beliefs of their time.
Now for a moment, imagine if Sunni Muslims were treated in Christian countries as Ahmadiyyas are treated in much of the Islamic world. Every day, we see acts of violence being perpetrated on the Ahmadi community in Pakistan and elsewhere - far worse than anything that is done to Muslims living in the West, but we don't see any Ahmadi suicide bombers, Ahmadi hijackers, Ahmadi truck-terrorists, Ahmadi beheaders, Ahmadi slave traders and so on. In fact, going by how they practice their faith, Ahmadiyya people seem to be the true followers of the Religion of peace - they refuse to be provoked into murdering innocent civilians despite much provocation.
