A Review of the Pakistani Government’s “White Paper”: Qadiyaniyyat—A Grave Threat to Islam [ 11 ] Bukhari, the son of the prominent Ahrar leader Sayyad Ata Ullah Shah Bukhari. [He is the represen- tative of the current elite leadership of Ahrar. ] The main topic to which this paper devoted its attention was the anti-Ahmadiya movement, and in its issue of 13th June 1952 it published an article in the course of which it gave such a vulgar description in Arabic script of the head of the Ahmadiya community that decency does not permit us to explain it. [The judges are writing about what led to the 1953 riots and who the perpetrators were. ] If these words had been uttered in the presence of a member of the Ahmadiya community, we should not at all have been surprised if the result had been a broken skull. ( Report of the Court of Inquiry , constituted under Punjab Act II of 1954 to enquire into the Punjab Disturbances of 1953, printed by the Superintendent, Government printing, Punjab, 1954, p. 87) This is the opinion of Muslim justices, who have extensive judicial experience; theirs is no ordinary opinion. In a few short words, they have summarized this movement as to who was spreading dissension and who was being patient. These respected judges add: The words used reveal a shockingly depraved taste and constitute a most disrespectful ridicule of the language of the Qur’an and the language of the Holy Prophet. ( Ibid. )
