Mob of 20,000 shouting Allahu-Akbar torch site of Ahmadi centenary celebrations

[^_^ 5,021]

DHAKA: Bangladeshi Ahmadis on Thursday shifted the site for their centenary celebrations after thousands of religious rivals torched the original venue.

A mob, which witnesses said numbered around 20,000, attacked the venue at Kaliakoir, near Dhaka, late Wednesday where members of the Ahmadiyya Jamaat were due to mark 100 years since the movement began operating in what is now Bangladesh.

“They attacked the venue from all corners, shouting Allahu Akbar (God is greater). They torched the canopy, tents and stage,” Sanjit Kumar, a senior police official, told AFP.

Founded in 1889 in India, Pakistan declared Ahmadis as non-Muslims after it adopted a law in 1974.

In Bangladesh, where 90 percent of the country’s 153 million people are Muslims, there is no such law. But Islamic parties and top clerics have long demanded the government declare them non-Muslims.

In fact, Ahmadis generally want to be productive -- they were Pakistan's most-productive community prior to 1974. And remember that talibans are salafi criminals setup by Pakistan's 1977-1988 unrepentant war-criminal dictator as a policy-instrument -- they'd grotesquely butcher any Qadiani who even comes close to them.
