On December 16, 2014, armed men of the Pakistan Taliban barged into the Army Public School in Peshawar and indiscriminately fired at students and teachers, leaving 150 dead, most of them children. A few days later, a so-called religious leader claimed on national television that the attack was carried out by members of the Ahmadi community. This, he claimed, was done to avenge the Pakistan parliament’s decision to declare them “non-Muslim” in 1974. The Tehreek-i-Taliban had already claimed responsibility for the attack and there was not a shred of evidence to back the cleric’s claim, but that did not matter. A few days later, an Ahmadi man was shot dead in Gujranwala.
In popular imagination, India, Israel and the US are external agents trying to destabilise Pakistan while internally, it is the Ahmadi sect that is against the country. The murder of an Ahmadi on the streets of Pakistan no longer needs to be justified. Accusations made against them need no verficiation. Along with Yahoodi (Jew) and Hindu, Qadiani (a derogatory title for Ahmadis) has become a curse word in the country.
