As a Muslim (a weak one albeit) my reservations are strictly textual. The Prophet pbuh emphatically reminded the Muslims of his time that he was the final apostle in a long lineage of apostles, and that Islam was complete upon his arrival and the religion of Allah would see no future prophetic missions. False prophets were to be killed and their followers too, unless they renounced their ways and sought forgiveness. Maslamah bin Ḥabib (aka Musalima Kazzab) was one such man, who, and whose followers, were destroyed and forgotten to time.
Contrastingly, men who claim to be inspired by divinity but who do not associate themselves with Islam do not fall under this category and, therefore, the followers of these men are to allowed the same status that all other dhimmis are given in an ideal Islamic state (jiziya and all... ). A good example of the latter, is Guru Nanak Singh. The followers of Sikhism, in Pakistan, are accorded the same constitutional rights that minorities of other prominent religions are given; namely those of practicing and preaching their religion, establishing places of worship and contributing to the national life of Pakistan. If only Ghulam Ahmed Qadian had decided to call his new religion anything other than Islam, his followers would have been free to live their lives the way they chose to and we would have one less problem today.
I hear a lot about what you read in your holy books that were written by mortals about this group. Can you tell us what beliefs pertaining to lifestyle, conduct, content of character by ahmadis are unacceptable for those who oppose them?
for example ( am being just a bit exaggerated to make the point, please DO NOT take it as literally) : they believe in child slaughter, they believe in being rude to others, they believe in not helping out the unfortunate, they believe in only their way or highway, they are bigoted against other religions, they burn holy books, they draw cartoons.... what is it that they do as a result of their beliefs that is unacceptable on a humanitarian level?
