[ 22 ] Muslim Jam a ‘at was planted by the British and was estab- lished to protect the interests of the British government. A Sinister Ploy of the Dajj a l When the mission of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jam a ‘at was first established in Holland, a local Catholic newspaper called M66 expressed its opinion about the Jam a ‘at. Before narrating its opinion, it is necessary to explain why it expressed its opinion, and why it felt the need to do so. When the establishment of the mission in Holland by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jam a ‘at was underway, someone by the name of Dr. Hovben started a malicious campaign of accu- sations against the Jam a ‘at. He aroused the Christian world and warned them, calling it a dangerous Jam a ‘at and asking them to be on their guard. He also advised them about a strategy to adopt against them. The strategy should be to call them non-Muslims, as the Muslims do not regard them as Muslims and thereby challenge their legitimacy to repre- sent Islam. About Islam, he wrote that it was no longer a force to reckon with, it was dormant and it would not be difficult to wipe it out. As far as the Jam a ‘at was concerned, it was not to be recognised as Muslim and all contact with it should be broken off. The whole world should think of them and say that they are non-Muslims and therefore they amount to nothing.
