Podcasts about ahmadis

It's Friday, May 2nd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Pakistan's record 344 blasphemy cases against Islam A human rights watchdog group chronicled a record 344 new so-called “blasphemy” cases in the 96 percent-Muslim country of Pakistan in 2024, highlighting increased abuse of the country's condemned blasphemy laws, reports Morning Star News. The top three categories include “hurting of religious sentiments,” “desecration of the Quran,” and “disrespecting [their false prophet] Muhammad.” Of the 344 new blasphemy cases, 70 percent of the accused were Muslims, 6 percent were Christians, 9 percent Hindus, and 14 percent Ahmadis, according to the Annual Human Rights Observer report issued by the Center for Social Justice. Between 1994 and 2024, the report stated that at least 104 persons in Pakistan accused of so-called “blasphemy” were executed extra-judicially. Mike Waltz out as National Security Adviser Mike Waltz is out as President Donald Trump's national security adviser and is instead his new nominee for ambassador to the United Nations in a major shake-up of Trump's national security team, reports USA Today. On May 1, Trump said that Waltz was leaving his White House post, confirming a departure that was reported hours earlier amid the continued fallout after Waltz accidentally invited a journalist into a messaging chat in which top national security officials discussed plans for Yemen airstrikes. United States and Ukraine sign rare earth metals agreement On April 30th, the United States and Ukraine finally signed the minerals deal that was delayed by the now-infamous Oval Office exchange between the U.S. and Ukrainian presidents two months ago, reports The Epoch Times. With China continuing to tighten its grip on critical minerals after the imposition of U.S. tariffs, control of so-called “rare earth metals”—essential for the production of electric vehicles, wind turbines, and smartphones—is becoming ever more important. One challenge is that 20 percent of Ukraine's mineral resources, including about half its rare earth elements deposits, are in areas under Russian occupation. The agreement stipulates that future American military assistance to Ukraine will count as part of the U.S. investment into the fund, rather than calling for reimbursement for past assistance. Jewish author David Horowitz, defender of Christians, has died On April 29th, conservative Jewish author David Horowitz died at the age of 86, reports NewsMax.com. His story is one of a self-proclaimed former Marxist who had "second thoughts" on Leftist ideology and became a conservative stalwart and a fierce defender of religion and President Donald Trump. In fact, Trump used the title of Horowitz's book Final Battle: The Next Election Could Be the Last to make it a prevailing theme in hundreds of Trump campaign rallies leading up to his 2024 re-election. In Final Battle, Horowitz had predicted the leftists, so fearful of Trump's return to the White House, would stop at nothing, including indictments against the former president. The effort backfired, as Trump's campaign raised millions off the indictments and would ultimately knock out the Biden family dynasty and defeat replacement candidate Kamala Harris in the 2024 election. Horowitz's books often dealt with his conversion to become a Republican during Reagan's administration, the fight from the Left against religion, and the Left's seeking to destroy America. A practicing Jew, Horowitz said one of the most important books he wrote was entitled Dark Agenda: The War to Destroy Christian America—which detailed the Left's war on Christianity, which, he warned, would lead to making the religion illegal and open for persecution. Psalm 27:1 should be the guiding verse of all Christians who are persecuted worldwide. “The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?” Companies bolt from Homosexual Pride Month And finally, two years after transgender Dylan Mulvaney's catastrophic undoing of Bud Light, June's over-the-top sexual perversion celebration—at least as a wholesale business concept—is dead, reports The Washington Stand. For most CEOs, it's been a year of unprecedented realignment. Dozens of major brands are following up on their commitments to drop Diversity Equity Inclusion, and leftist political causes, prompting them to drop sponsorships of June's marquee events. The first warning shots were fired in March, when organizers of the San Francisco Homosexual Pride Parade confessed that they were having trouble hanging on to corporate sponsors. The signature event in America's Homosexual-Transgender Paradise has already lost $300,000! Among those who pulled back were big-time names like Comcast, Anheuser-Busch, and Guinness/Smirnof. Plus, at major Homosexual-Transgender Pride events across New York City, St. Louis, and Washington, D.C., gun-shy businesses are running for the exits. According to the Wall Street Journal, Mastercard, PepsiCo, Nissan, Citibank, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Booz Allen Hamilton, and Darcars Automotive Group are opting out of major sponsorships altogether. Most businesses are even asking to have their names and logos removed “from official displays and apparel.” More executives have decided it's financial suicide to team up in any meaningful way with June's in-your-face celebration. In fact, 39 percent of corporate leaders plan to decrease their observance of Homosexual-Transgender Pride this year, according to Gravity Research. The result? A massive shortfall in funds for Homosexual Pride-fests on both coasts. Bloomberg noted six in ten “point to President Donald Trump's policies regarding transgenderism and diversity, equity and inclusion as a driver. Almost 40% of all firms raised concerns over criticism from conservatives and customers.” Appearing on Washington Watch, Will Hild, executive director of Consumers' Research, is delighted. HILD: “I couldn't have asked for more. It's been such an incredible whirlwind of pushback and Executive Orders on the entire DEI-grift complex. So, I think it's been fantastic. We've seen what this is doing to the federal government, but I'm hopeful over the next 100 days, we're going to start to see this trickle through to the for-profit sector, the corporate sector.” Hild had a word for Christians and conservatives as well. HILD: “I think conservatives tend to only think of their power being in terms of their wallet. In other words, if they don't like a company, what they're doing, they just won't shop there. “They spend millions upon millions of dollars trying to figure out why people shop at Target or Walmart or go to a different place. It's a lot easier when you send an email or call somebody and say, ‘I don't appreciate this thing.' We saw this with Target. We saw this with Budweiser. It went viral on social media. “Say something both to the company and say something on social media because they track that kind of thing. So, I would say, use both your wallet and use your voice.” Sign up to receive a weekly text message from Consumers' Research that will alert you to a different woke company which you can email or call. Ephesians 5:11 says, “Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, May 2nd, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe for free by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Hier finden Sie die aktuelle Khutba von Hadhrat Khalifat-ul-Massih V (aba) mit deutscher Übersetzung hier.In dieser Freitagsansprache schloss Hazoor (aba) die Erzählung über die Grabenschlacht (Ghazwa al-Khandaq) ab und erwähnte die Expedition Banu Quraiza. Am Ende der Freitagsansprache rief Seine Hazoor (aba) zu Gebeten auf. In Pakistan werden die Zustände für die Ahmadis immer angespannter. Genauso befinden sich die Ahmadis in Bangladesch, in Algerien und im Sudan aufgrund des dortigen Kriegszustands in großer Bedrängnis. Jene Ahmadis, die in diesen Ländern leben, sollten besonders für sich beten, dass Allah sie vor jeglichem Unheil bewahre. Außerdem sollten die Ahmadis weltweit für ihre Glaubensbrüder aus den genannten Ländern beten. Die Tatsache, dass die Muslime in diesen Ländern Leid erfahren durch jene, die sich ihrerseits ebenfalls zum Islam bekennen, ist der Grund dafür, warum anti-muslimische Kräfte jederzeit versuchen, den Muslimen Schaden zuzufügen.   Wenn Sie die aktuelle Khutba mit deutscher Übersetzung als Video sehen möchten, besuchen Sie unseren YouTube-Kanal MTAGermany unter der Playlist „Freitagsansprachen 2024 - deutsche Übersetzung“ Wenn Sie die aktuelle Khutba mit deutschen Untertiteln sehen möchten, besuchen Sie unseren YouTube-Kanal MTAGermany unter der Playlist auf „Freitagsansprachen 2024 - deutsche Untertitel“. „Ich werde deine Botschaft bis ans Ende der Welt tragen“ Offenbarung an den Verheißenen Messias und Mahdi Abonnieren oder folgen Sie uns auch auf unseren Social Media Kanälen Instagram, Twitter und Facebook unter @Muslimtvde und erleben Sie unsere spannenden Formate! ©Copyright MTA International Germany Studios

Date: 15/08/24 Join Raheel Ahmad for Thurday's show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Ahmadi Muslims' Ahmadi Muslims Why is it questioned whether Ahmadis are Muslims? Despite their firm adherence to Islamic teachings and following the Prophet Muhammad (saw), their belief in Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as the Promised Messiah and Mahdi is often misunderstood, leading some to wrongly challenge their Muslim identity, though they proudly and unquestionably identify as Muslims. Producers: Imam Salman Qamar and Imam Raheel Ahmed

Obgleich es immer wieder religiöse Toleranz gelobt, ist Pakistan ein Hort islamischer Fundamentalisten und die Wiege der Taliban Im August 1947 entstand der Staat Pakistan. Sein Gründer, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, hatte freie Religionsausübung für alle Glaubensgemeinschaften versprochen. 97 Prozent der Bewohner Pakistans sind Muslime, die deutliche Mehrheit von ihnen strenge Sunniten. Immer wieder kommt es zu gewalttätigen Übergriffen auf Andersgläubige. So wurden die Ahmadis zu Nicht-Muslimen erklärt und immer wieder werden Christen attackiert. Immer öfter ist der Ruf nach Einführung der Scharia zu hören - besonders durch die militanten pakistanischen Taliban, deren Glaubensbrüder das Nachbarland Afghanistan regieren.

As reported in the Telegraph and in detail on our website, University College London (UCL) has now launched an investigation into its decision to ban academic and FSU member Michelle Shipworth from teaching a “provocative” course involving China in order to protect its commercial interests. The twists and turns in the story are quite breathtaking and include the startling moment when a UCL professor admits, “I have no idea who J.S. Mill is”. The whole drama is recounted today by Ben who has been involved in the case since Michelle first contacted the FSU for help. We also discuss a new report by Alexander Meleagrou-Hitchens that blows the whistle on so-called anti-blasphemy extremism in the UK. The Times explains that the report was first commissioned by the government's counterextremism chief and exposes links between activists at the forefront of recent protests in the UK and an extremist Islamist political party in Pakistan, Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP). TLP was temporarily banned in Pakistan because of violent rallies and its support for mob execution of perceived blasphemers. Worryingly, the report reveals the emergence of a UK wing of TLP. As we discuss, it feels very late in the day for us to be waking up to this threat. Anti-blasphemy extremism is an affront to British values and is bad news for us all, but perhaps especially for our most vulnerable Muslim groups, such as the Ahmadis. ‘That's Debatable!' is edited by Jason Clift.

Join Saad Ahmed and Norsharwan Ahmad for Tuesday's show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Old Age' and ‘Hazrat Musleh Maud' Old Age - A long and lonely journey? The life expectancy in comparison to over 100 years ago has more than doubled. Across the world, people are living longer. In 1900, the average life expectancy of a newborn was 32 years. By 2021 this had more than doubled to 71 years. As people live longer do they also experience a fulfilling social life in old age? According to Age UK, more than 2 million people in England over the age of 75 live alone, and more than a million older people say they go over a month without speaking to a friend, neighbour or family member. Hazrat Musleh Maud On 20th February, Ahmadis around the world hold gatherings to commemorate ‘Musleh Maud Day'. This is a prophecy foretold by the Promised Messiah of Islam about the birth of his son. Guests: Ruth Lowe (Head of loneliness service, Age UK) Louise Gacquin (Clinical Service Manager Planned Care) Imam Imtiaz Ahmad Sraa (Missionary of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Canada) Producers: Anila Syed-Usman and Anam Mahmood

The Ahmadiyya community has institutions in place to help educate people to become missionaries of their faith. I got the chance to speak with a vice principal of an Ahmadiyya institute to learn more about what that education looks like.

In dieser Freitagsansprache befasste sich Hazoor (ABA) mit einem Ereignis von Hadhrat Ali (ra) über das Tahajjud-Gebet, woraus der edle und weise Charakter des Heiligen Propheten Muhammad (saw) hervorgeht. Darüber hinaus skizzierte Hazoor (aba) die Ereignisse der Schlacht von Banu Qainuqa.Am Ende rief Hazoor (aba) erneut zu Gebeten für die aktuelle Weltlage auf und wies die Ahmadis an, ihre Stimmen für Gerechtigkeit und gegen die Grausamkeiten zu erheben. Islamische Eulogien: SAW steht für »ṣallallāhu ‘alaihi wa-sallam« d. h. »Friede und Segnungen Allahs seien auf ihm« und wird nur mit dem Namen des Heiligen Propheten Muhammad SAW gesprochen. AS steht für »‘alaihi s-salām« d. h. »Friede sei auf ihm« und wird mit den Namen aller übrigen Propheten gesprochen. RA steht für »raḍiyallāhu ta‘ālā ‘anhu/‘anhā/‘anhum« d. h. »Möge Allah an ihm/ihr/ihnen Gefallen finden« und wird im Anschluss an die Namen der Gefährten des Heiligen Propheten Muhammad (SAW) oder des Verheißenen Messias (AS) gesprochen.RH steht für »raḥmatullāhi ‘alaih / raḥimahullāh« d. h. »Möge die Barmherzigkeit Allahs, des Erhabenen, auf ihm sein« ABA steht für »ayyadahullāhu ta‘ālā bi-naṣrihi l-‘azīz« d. h. »Möge Allah sein Helfer sein und ihn mit Seiner Kraft unterstützen«  und wird nach dem Namen des Kalifen der Zeit gesprochen. https://www.alislam.orghttps://www.mta-tv.de  ©Copyright MTA International Germany Studios

Join Aneeq ur Rehman and Tariq Bajwa for Wednesday's show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: 'Heatwaves' and ‘Khilafat' Heatwaves In recent years, the once extraordinary occurrences of heatwaves have regrettably transformed into a disconcerting new normal. These recurrent and increasingly regular heatwaves pose daunting challenges to public health, agriculture, and overall environmental stability. Urgent collective action and mitigation efforts are imperative to combat this unsettling reality and forge a more sustainable and resilient future for our planet. Heatwaves Khilafat Indeed, there is absolutely nothing as pure and sincere as the love that exists between Ahmadis and the Khalifa. It is a type of love that transcends tribal, ethnic, national, and political boundaries. It is a love that is, in many respects, no less than a miracle of God. In todays show we will see the love between Khilafat and Ahmadi Muslims. Khilafat Guests: Professor Kristie L. Ebi – Umea University Professor Aidan Charron – End of Plastics Coordinator at Earthday.org Hannah Mallinson – Science Engagement Manager at Royal Meteorological Society Adeline Siffert – Senior Humanitarian Policy Advisor (British Red Cross) Imam Raja Burhan Producers: Durr-e-sameen Mirza and Aneeq ur Rehman

Last week unrest broke out in China, seemingly in response to attempts by the Chinese authorities to dismantle parts of Najiaying mosque in Nagu, a town in Yunnan province. The province predominantly houses the Hui Muslims. But on what grounds, has the Chinese government labelled these mosques as "illegal religious education"? And like the Huis and Uighurs, the Ahmadis in Pakistan remain a persecuted community. How does the persecution of a religious minority in an Islamic country like Pakistan differ from persecution in a country like China that claims itself to be ‘athiest'?

Teena Purohit's new book Sunni Chauvinism and the Roots of Muslim Modernism (Princeton University Press, 2023) maps how various Muslim modernists from the 19th to the 20th centuries used their Sunni normativity to construct social and political boundaries around conceptions of tawhid or Islamic unity. The book distinctively focuses on how Muslim modernists such as canonical figures like Jamal al-Din al-Afghani, Muhammad ‘Abduh, Rashid Rida and many others, focused on communities such as Shi‘as, Ismailis, Ahmadis, and Bahai's in their activist and intellectual projects that aspired for a singular unified Islam against encroaching western modernity.  For Muslim modernists who were anxious to reclaim a “lost unity” of Islam that existed in the past and believed could be achieved again in the future (though lacking in their time), non-Sunni groups, like Ahmadis for Muhammad Iqbal or esoteric groups for Rashid Rida, became communities that received disparaging attention and intolerant attitudes that led to a particular Sunni chauvinism, Purohit argues. And as such, this obsession with unity (tawhid) and the privileging of Sunnism that went with it was found in all forms of Muslim modernism. This book then invites a rethinking of our conceptualization of Muslim modernism in light of these thinkers approaches to esoteric (i.e., Sufi) and Shi‘a groups who were viewed as problematic for the social and political goal of tawhid. This accessible book will be of interest to those who think and write on Muslim modernism and non-Sunni movements in Islam. It will also be a great teaching resource for undergraduate and graduate classes. Shobhana Xavier is an Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at Queen's University.

This accessible book will be of interest to those who think and write on Muslim modernism and non-Sunni movements in Islam. It will also be a great teaching resource for undergraduate and graduate classes. Shobhana Xavier is an Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at Queen's University.

In this episode, we delve deeper into the struggle of being an Ahmadiyya in Pakistan. We understand what makes an Ahmadiyya Muslim, their beliefs and customs? And what role does the community, representing perhaps 0.2 percent of Pakistan's 208 million population, play in Pakistan's politics, a democracy that has seen the Ahmadi, a religious minority boycotting the elections for over three decades?What does their boycott tell about the role religion has played in Pakistan's nationalist politics? And to help us do this, we are joined by a well-known Pakistani writer based in Washington, D.C. Farahnaz Ispahani. Besides writing for national and international papers, Ispahani has also worked at ABC News, CNN and MSNBC as a journalist. A senior fellow with Religious Freedom Institute, a former member of Pakistani parliament, and a media advisor to then President Asif Ali Zardari, Ispahani has vociferously advocated for the rights of the minorities. Listen in!

Die Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat versteht sich als muslimische Reform-gemeinschaft. Hierzulande ist sie kaum bekannt – dabei ist die älteste Moschee Deutschlands in Berlin eine Ahmadiyya-Moschee. 2008 eröffneten Ahmadis die Gemeinde eine Moschee in Berlin-Heinersdorf. Die Gläubigen gelten als friedfertig und gebildet - ein Vorbild für andere?

Join Raza Ahmed, Danayal Zia and Qayyum Rashid for Friday's show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: “Political globalisation” and “Are Ahmadis Muslim?” Political globalisation As the world stands on a political knife edge with tensions raising are some countries doing more to push their own agendas on others? Could nations do more to create peace and harmony between others or are they looking out for their own vested interests? Are Ahmadis Muslim? The so called Muslim Ummah seem united only on one thing – that Ahmadis are ‘not Muslim' – why is this and what is the truth of the matter? Why do other Muslims refuse to accept the promised messiah and does anyone have the right to declare who is or isn't a Muslim?

Join Raza Ahmed and Danayal Zia for Fridays's show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: Khatme-Nabuwwat and Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad (aba) Khatme-Nabuwwat The key difference between Ahmadi Muslims and other Muslims is the way in which the term ‘Seal of Prophets' when referring to the Holy Prophet (pbuh) is understood. Ahmadis have accepted the awaited Promised Messiah, but can he be a Prophet? Join us as we explain how the Holy Prophet (pbuh) was the best of prophets, not the final prophet.

Myriad Islamist evils, and its Christian victims. Islamist evils against Christians in Pakistan, particularly in Lahore. Christians, Nadeem Samson, Nadeem Joseph, Nurses Tabita, Mariam Lal, Nehwish Urooj, Sakina Bibi, Jessica Khurram, and Treeza Eric, 16-year-old Kiran Bashir, and 8-year-old Anum Bibi. Canada’s deportation of Pakistani Christians seeking asylum from murderous persecution, while Canada’s leftist regime provides automatic blanket amnesty for all Muslims claiming to be Ahmadis. India’s anti-Christian Conversion laws. The coming end of the West. The fallen former Christendom’s rapidly approaching end under satanic total world domination. The Holy Bible, the Old Testament, The Book of the Prophet/Priest Jeremiah, chapter 6.

The Ahmadiyyah Movement was started in the late 1800s by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian which is located in the state of Punjab in modern day India.  The Ahmadiyyah ascribe Messiah-ship to Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and are considered to be outside the fold of normative Islam by traditional Muslims. In this episode, I talk to Farhan Yusufzai, who used to engage in dialogue with the Ahmadiyyah and wrote a book called "With Love to the Ahmadis of the world".  The book is available for free download at https://ahmadiyyafactcheckblog.files.wordpress.com/2017/01/with-love-to-the-ahmadis-of-the-world-by-farhan-khan-2010.pdf I also speak to Bashir Ahmad Shah, who was raised in an Ahmadi household before leaving the movement in the mid-2000s.  Bashir runs the website https://ahmadiyyafactcheckblog.com/ and the YouTube channel by the same name.  You can access the YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtJCxHPvj4vRg4I5uR6Nmbw If you are enjoying the podcast, please consider supporting the show by becoming a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/sultansandsneakers You can also reach out to me at info@sultansandsneakers.com and the video of this podcast will be available on the Sultans and Sneakers YouTube channel, which you can find at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8nN9RSnLs08M87yEZppwaA

In the entire history of the US, there has never been a Muslim senator. Qasim Rashid came close in 2019. And though he didn't win, that's only the beginning. He's determined to make it to Congress, and if he does, he'll also be the first person of Pakistani origin to do so. But would the Pakistani community celebrate this achievement given Qasim belongs to the Ahmadiyya community, a community that throughout history has been persecuted against in Pakistan?

This quasi-muslim sect claim that their founder Mirza Ghulam Ahmed was the Mahdi of Islam and the returning Christ! Ahmadis claim to be the true Muslims and the face of moderate Islam. But just how 'moderate' are they really? Learn about what they REALLY think of hand amputations, floggings, gender segregation and women wearing burkas. Learn about the false prophecies and outlandish beliefs of their founder whose beliefs contradicted both the Bible and the Quran!

While she was alive, my mother never believed in, or practised killing Ahmadis, but she always said to her sister, who was an Ahmadi convert, ‘We will never become Ahmadis.' But the dream was the total opposite!

For our last week in our “How Did We Get Here?” series, we’ll see the human impact of flawed policies. Ali talks to Ainee Athar, Immigration Program Manager at the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. Born in Pakistan, Ainee and her family sought protection from religious persecution. But in coming to the U.S., they faced a slew of obstacles over many years: navigating bureaucracy, a rejected asylum application, multiple changes in immigration status, and dealing with immigration enforcement.

Fay really poured out her heart in this live stream. Her story is really something else. What she has gone through to get to where she is now. She speaks well, and with courage and dignity, surviving quite a hell in her own family.

- Right wing politics in which immigrants and minorities are being marginalized is sweeping across Europe as well as India. - Modi’s BJP government passed the Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB) which will grant citizenship to six religious minorities from Pakistan, Afghanistan or Bangladesh. The communities who will be given this citizenship from these countries are Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi and Christian. - The bill is exclusionary and violates the secular ethos of the Indian constitution. Faith cannot be made a condition of citizenship - Opponents says that there are minorities among the Muslims themselves who are persecuted: Ahmadis or Shi‘as or Hazaras in Pakistan. If BJP government was really concerned about persecuted minorities in the neighbouring countries, it should have opened the door for all in that neighbourhood irrespective of their faith. - The BJP government also tried to introduce the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in north-east state of Assam which has many Bengali refugees. - Locally, we need to be vigilant also. Harper’s Tory government passed Bill C-24 which gave the government the right to strip (even Canadian born individuals) who had dual citizenship of their Canadian passports if they were convicted of crimes of terrorism, treason or espionage against Canada. - Later the Liberal government repealed parts of Bill C-24 related to terrorism-related crimes, ensuring that they can keep their Canadian passport. Treat them as Canadian and if they are guilty, then punish them according to Canadian laws without deporting them to their parents’ homeland! - Some Hindu fundamentals propagate the myth that the Muslims who are originally Indians, their ancestors were converted by the Muslim rulers by force. This is the same tune which was played by the European missionaries and scholars about the spread of Islam. - Muslims ruled India for about 800 years, but there never was a Muslim majority in that country. The numbers themselves show that force was not part of the spread of Islam in that region.

Tan lines, training wheel hijabs, and Sikh style icons... I chat with Simran Jeet Singh (Union Theological Seminary) and Aysha Khan (Religion News Service) about the awkward, hilarious inside jokes and dirty secrets you'd only know about in their communities. Like how you can tell from a Sikh dude's beard that he's from Long Island, and why Ahmadis are the Mormons of Islam. As with any awesome hangout, our discussion got pretty deep too. We found parallels and connections in our distinct experiences. And I walked away with a new perspective what it means to express solidarity. But what I love most about this episode is that there are so many genuine belly laughs. I hope it's contagious.

Presenter William Crawley hears reaction to Pope Francis' visit to Lesbos, and explores the significance of the joint approach to the migrant crisis by the Catholic and Orthodox churches. Ahead of the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare's death, Trevor Barnes reports on the religion of Shakespeare's England, and the influence of the Bible on his language. This week's Channel 4 documentary "What British Muslims really think", has been heavily criticised by members of Muslim communities for putting across what they see as a skewed picture of Islam in Britain. The programme's executive producer Samir Shah and author and activist Shelina Janmohamed discuss. Liz Leonard examines the current religious landscape of Scotland, in light of the recent Scottish Social Attitudes survey which suggests that most people in Scotland are 'not religious'. What is it like to live in Britain as a member of the persecuted Ahmadi Muslim sect? Author Adil Khan profiles the history and beliefs of Ahmadis following the discovery of leaflets in a South London Mosque calling on them to be killed. The three Christian denominations which run the Church in Jerusalem, believed to be on the site of Jesus' tomb, have reached an agreement to carry out much-needed repair work. Archaeologist Martin Biddle explains the rich history of the shrine. Producers: Dan Tierney Peter Everett Series producer: Amanda Hancox.

Pakistan declared that members of the Ahmadiyya sect were not Muslims in September 1974. Thousands of Ahmadis were forced from their homes, many were killed in communal violence. Witness speaks to Abdul Bary Malik and Mohammed Ashraf - two Ahmadi men who lived through that time. Image: Photos of Pakistani Ahmadis murdered in communal violence (Getty Images)
