It was the night of 27th July, when an angry mob attacked and burnt five houses, a storage building and several vehicles
over alleged blasphemy.
The blasphemy was against an Ahmadi young man for putting up a
blasphemous image of the Ka’aba on
Facebook. He kept on trying to deny it but it was not enough for the angry,
inhumane creatures who just wanted revenge for something that never happened in
the first place.
Eventually, an angry mob gathered and began protesting and eventually attacked and burnt homes and other property belonging to members of
the Ahmadi community. Not only that, when the people inside the houses were
trapped, the door locks were filled with elfy to prevent any escape. Windows
were broken and petrol was set on fire to cause smoke to suffocate them. The
mob was dancing happily on the streets after setting the houses on fire, while
the police watched from the sides, doing absolutely nothing to intervene.
Meanwhile, inside the houses, a 55-year old woman, an 8-month
old girl, Kainat and a 7-year old, Hira, passed away, unable to fight any
longer. A woman miscarried during this incident and was provided medical
treatment at Fazl-e-Umar Hospital in Rabwah. Following the violence, all the
Ahmadi families fled Gujranwala, with nothing in their hands.
I keep wondering; is there any limit to this inhumane attitude?
Will this ever end? I thought the violence had reached its peak 4 years ago on
28th May, 2010 when 86 Ahmadis were massacred while they were in a
mosque for Friday prayers. However, this seems even more inhumane, because a
7-year old girl and an 8-month old girl lost their lives. Why? Because they
were Ahmadis. How could an 8-month old girl, who does not even know how to talk
properly, have possibly done something so horrendous as to get this fate?
What shocked me even more was how they were celebrating
murdering people, and that too, in the name of Allah. When Allah has ordered
all mankind to live in harmony, and has ordered all Muslims to make Islam the
most peaceful religion to exist, how can these animals kill innocent people and
celebrate and dance as if they have been given the news that they’re surely
going to Heaven?
When I sit and think about it, it shocks me to the very core.
How can people murder innocent people? How can people torture them, burn them,
degrade them? How do they not feel any remorse? How do the face of the people
who they’ve so brutally murdered, not haunt them for life, in their dreams or
otherwise? And then it hits me; they have been born into this chaos of a
theory. They have been brought up that way, being taught along the way that
killing anyone from another sect, especially Ahmadis, will make them Jannati.
And that is why killing does not eat them from inside. Because they believe
they are doing the right thing. And it is so saddening. Not only for the
innocent victims, but for themselves as well. Because they are just building up
the wrath of Allah. Allah is always Just. And He always Watches and Protects,
and He always gives Justice in one way or other to the innocent, and always
punishes the guilty.
Ahmadis all around the world are so saddened and shocked at the
inhumanity and the torturous minds and actions of these so-called Muslims; I
can’t even begin to imagine how the people directly affected from this incident
would feel like. Especially the mothers who lost their children, the born and
the unborn. My heart and my prayers go out to them.
All we can do now is pray. Pray and raise awareness. And help
them in whatever small way we can. May Allah be with all Ahmadis and may He
punish the guilty for all their actions.
