The Islamic Militancy

Individually Muslims may show splendid qualities. Many of them become brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen: all know how to die. But the influence of the religion paralyzes the social development of those who follow it. In the world there is a retrograde large force. Far from being moribund, the cult of Mohammed is a faith that is militant and proselytizing… the modern European civilization could fall, as the civilization of ancient Rome has collapsed”. (Winston Churchill)

A recent sociological thesis pointed out that raising of Jihad and birthing of a number of Islamic Associations across the world is, more or less, due to the desire to re-draw their lifestyle following the scriptures, which have been eliminated by the day-to-day political authority management.

The Other Face of Islam

The Ahmadiyyah movement (Ahmadi) is a sect in Islam which was founded towards the end of the 19th century in Punjab, India, and spread from there to different countries. Most members of the sect are centered in South-East Asia: India, Pakistan and Indonesia, and it numbers 15 Million believers.

The members of the sect preach enlightenment, peace, and brotherhood between nations and love of others. The Ahmadiyyah way opposes religious coercion, and therefore does not support spreading Islam through Jihad, “Holy War”. They prefer placatory persuasion. The sect is named for its founder, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian (1835-1908), who, at the age of 40, announced that Allah has entrusted him with the task of renewing the Muslim religion and bringing justice and integrity to the world.
