Was Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at Planted by the British? 19 Lucky me, if I may be blessed with — even a wee bit, Of his Glance of Munificence! 20 Hypocritical Tactics of the Muslim ulama So this is the character and conduct as well as the past of those who are now vying with each other to malign Ahmaddiyyat. The Promised Messiah as was motivated by his good disposition to express his gratitude towards a beneficent government. But that was not all. There were certain other causes of this as well which were of the making of his opponents. On the one hand, these ulama were instigating the Muslims against the Promised Messiah as , alleging that he praised the British government and opposed the idea of Jihad against it, whereas that government deserved to be destroyed and eliminated through Jihad. But on the other hand, they were engaged in heaping praises on the British government and publishing the kind of flattery, some excerpts of which I have just read out to you. On a third front, they were submitting memorandums, both covertly as well as through overt publications, to the British government, cautioning them against the Promised Messiah as whom they described as a very dangerous man and warned the Government not to be taken in by him. They alleged that, though he was the claimant to being Imam Mahdi, yet in fact he was a Bloody Mahdi whose purpose was to destroy the British Empire. 20 Newspaper, Zam in d a r , 19 Oct. 1911.
