Amazing, how one can stoop !
by same principles which are trying to use in your arguments,
ask the people of Pakistan, if they are going to accept QADYANI as muslims.
Let the will of people rule shall we ?
AGNOSTIC:
what you are referring to (Slavery, segregation, apartheid) are social phenomenon,
they do not have theological grounds.
Its a simple matter of principle, those who accept the prophet and the end of all prophet hood and those who don't.
No one is asking or forcing mainstream Muslims to accept Ahmedis as 'Muslim' - what is being argued is that 'mainstream Muslim sects' can believe what they want about Ahmedis, on a personal level, but the State should not discriminate against them and violate their basic freedoms and rights, such as being able to call themselves whatever they want and call their places of worship whatever they want.
The State should ensure that Ahmadis have every protection and right to practice and spread their faith as they wish, just like any other Muslim or non-Muslim group in Pakistan.
We are arguing for an end to discrimination against, and an end to the violation of basic rights of the Ahmedis by the State . 'No compulsion in religion' is a very important part of Islam, yet in the case of Ahmedis the State of Pakistan is doing exactly that - the State is preventing the Ahmedis from practicing their faith as they wish, and the State IS COMPELLING/FORCING Ahmedis to follow OUR guidelines on how to practice their religion.
These laws against Ahmedis are indefensible from a moral and Islamic standpoint.
