171 An Important Submission to the Honourable Members of the Assembly fter briefly reviewing the allegations levelled against the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at we would like to sound this warning to the honourable Members of the Assembly that a conspiracy has long been in existence, the purpose of which in the name of religion is to cause intercommunal trouble among the Muslims of Pakistan with intent to obliterate them from the face of the earth. The President of Bazm-e-Saqaafat-e-Islamiyyah, Khalifa Abdul Hakeem exposed this conspiracy, years ago, in the following words: "The Vice-Chancellor of a Pakistani University said to me recently that when he asked a great Mullah and eminent scholar who had only recently migrated to Pakistan after much vacillation and calculation—as to his opinion about a certain Islamic sect, he gave the fatwa that those among them who are of ghali, or extremists, must be put to death, and those who are not ghali, are liable to be punished. Then I asked about another sect which has numerous millionaire businessmen. He replied: all members of that sect are worthy of being put to death. It was the same scholar who was in the vanguard of those thirty, or thirty- two, ulema—and he was their prime-mover—who laid it down as mandatory, in their proposed Islamic Constitution that: every Islamic sect must be given recognition, with the exception of only one sect which must be considered outside the pale of Islam. Of course, they too deserve death but this is to be explicitly decided later. When the appropriate time comes we will deal with them accordingly. Another scholar, among the aforementioned group, stated: so far we have initiated Jehad in the path of Allah, only against one sect. After attaining success in this venture, Insha Allah (God willing) we shall turn to making short work of others. " A
