An Introduction to the Hidden Treasures of Islam — Page 417
417 The Book The champion of Islam asked Hindus in general, and the A ryah Sam a j in particular, to be respectful and courteous to the Holy Prophet sa as Muslims are respectful to Krishna, N a nak and Buddha. The Promised Messiah as made a clarion call: If, in order to have complete peace, the Hindu gentlemen and the A ryah Sam a jists are prepared to accept our Holy Prophet sa as a true Prophet of God and give up denying and insulting him, I will be the first person to sign an agreement to the effect that we, the members of the Ahmadiyyah sect, should always continue to believe in the Vedas and speak of the Krishan in the most respectful terms, and bind ourselves to pay to the Hindus a penalty of Rs. 300,000 in case we fail to fulfill the agreement.

The Muslims that are outside the pale of Ahmadiyyah Movement recognize no leader whom they think themselves bound to obey. So I cannot say whether they would join hands with us.
