Persecution of Ahmadiyya

The persecution of Ahmadiyya refers to the discrimination and violence faced by members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, a sect within Islam founded in the late 19th century. Ahmadis believe in the teachings of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, whom they consider a prophet, a view not accepted by mainstream Muslims. Consequently, Ahmadis are often labeled as non-Muslims in countries like Pakistan, where they face legal restrictions, societal discrimination, and violent attacks. This persecution highlights ongoing religious intolerance and the struggles for recognition and freedom of belief faced by minority groups worldwide.
