infidel and a double dealing heretic;26 the most wicked of God's creatures;27 perverse, dunce, more astray than his playmate the Satan; 28 worst of apostates;29 accursed of God;30 the ring leader of Dajaals;'31 etc. , etc. . A similar Fatwa was also issued by the mullahs of Ludhiana who spared no effort to revile and insult the founder and members of the. Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. 3. Maulana Muhammed Hussain Batalvi, the leader of the Ahle Hadith in India used the columns of the official Ahle Hadith journal to insult. Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad with such vulgar expressions as, God forbid: 'raving drunkard, intriguer, swindler, accursed, the one eyed Dajaal, evil-doer, wicked, shameless, worse than anti Christ, a descendent of. Halaqui. '33. Maulvi Abdul Haq Ghaznavi published a leaflet in which he abused. Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and stated that he was, God forbid: 'black faced, adulterous, a devil, an accursed, doomed for ever [etc. etc. ]. ' 34. Should the adversaries of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community then not first look into their own literature and determine as to what circumstances forced Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad to take recourse to harshness and severity? Was it not the harshness of his opponents which forced him into such a drastic course of action? Did he not himself state: 'In none of my writings does any expression refer to such respectable and gentlemanly people as abstain from using abusive language or do not resort to mean methods. ' 35 'This has invariably been a rule with me, and no one can prove that I have ever been the first to make use of harsh language with regard to my opponents. ' 26. ibid: pg 90 30. Ibid: pg 149 27.
