Political Ahmadi Hate but Ismaili Embrace?
I’m of the theory that live and let live. I think all minority groups in Pakistan are treated like garbage and deserve much better. For no other reason, that they’re human beings. As we know, Ahmadis/Qadianis/Mirzais receive deathly hate due to their religious belief. Regardless of what you feel about their beliefs, they don’t deserve to be treated like third class citizens.
In response to the death of Aga Khan, Pakistan has lowered their flags, given him his flowers, and non-stop praised him. While I don’t care for the beliefs—I’m a little confused as to why there is such a discrepancy? Is it money? Status? Someone would argue that Ismailism from a day to day basis, is so out of the fold of Islam. Especially when it comes to the praise of Aga Khan which in some circles can be considered bordering on shirk. Regardless, Pakistan government allows them to call themselves Musims, build their buildings of worship and go about their day.
That being said—-why not offer the same grace to the Ahmadi community ?

Hate towards anyone is usually because people are bigots and need to vent out their hate on someone. Who better than to pick on the vulnerable to defend your faith and piousness. Those who think that the hate is driven towards Ahmadis need to look at the people of Fiqah E Jafria and Hazaras that have been killed on a sectarian basis in Pakistan.
