Kashmir mufti takes aim at Ahmadiyyas
Kashmir mufti takes aim at Ahmadiyyas: Kashmir's grand mufti has called for legislation that deems all Ahmadiyyas - an Islamic reformist movement founded in British India - non-Muslim. This is the latest sign of rising intolerance since religious leaders this year sought the expulsion of Christian priests for allegedly converting Muslim youths. Persecuted across South Asia, the Ahmadiyya profess non-violence and "jihad of the pen rather than the sword". - Sudha Ramachandran (May 14, '12)
