A Review of the Pakistani Government’s “White Paper”: Qadiyaniyyat—A Grave Threat to Islam [ 13 ] their people come out of Pakistan, they make speeches in the same way they have done against Ahmad i s in Pakistan. We have complete tape-recordings as to what is going on in Mauritius and their speeches in Norway. In spite of this, they think that the world is stupid enough to believe that Ahmad i s were spreading dissension whereas the pitiable non-Ahmad i Muslims were very patient and tolerant, and despite Ahmad i aggression, the non-Ahmad i s have not reacted against them. The Causes of the Despicable and Wretched State of Muslims This whole picture being drawn has three sides, and one of them is related to the 1953 riots. The non-Ahmad i s are generally trying to prove that before the advent of the Promised Messiah as , Muslims were united in spirit. They were like the fingers in a fist, depicting strength in unity. There was no weakness or division among them. In fact, the Muslims were so mighty that colonial powers trembled before them. Therefore, (so the argument goes) these colo- nial powers sowed the seed of Ahmadiyyah Muslim Jam a‘ at to spread dissension among Muslims and to disperse Muslim unity. This was done to evade the terrifying danger presented by Islam to these colonial powers. This is the pic- ture being presented against the Ahmadiyyah Muslim Jam a ‘at in the White Paper.
