A Review of the Pakistani Government’s “White Paper”: Qadiyaniyyat—A Grave Threat to Islam [ 23 ] ridiculous—say the ulema—is the interpretation of A h ma- d i s who believe that instead of physically descending from heavens, a man of God will be born like an ordinary human being, people will reject him, slander him, and call him daj- j a l. His followers will be massacred, their children will be slaughtered, their houses will be looted, and they will be subjected to every imaginable brutality. They will be perse- cuted the same way the first Messiah and his followers were persecuted. Our opponents scoff at these interpretations given by us Ahmad i s that the Messiah will propagate the faith with love and reason and wisdom; that he will give such powerful arguments against the crucifixion of Jesus as that it will be tantamount to demolishing the cross; that he will preach piety in such a manner that will purify many, and swine- like people will return back to humanity; that he will ini- tiate a grand campaign against sensual or swine-like civili- zation, which is, in fact, the symbolic killing of the swine. Then he will confront the nations who practice and promote deception on earth. The blind right eye of the Antichrist means that these nations are completely devoid of spirituality; and their bright left eye symbolizes the material and represents great progress in the worldly domain. The Messiah will wage a war against these false ideologies and will strive for the supremacy of Islam. He will reach their lands and catch the white birds. His follow- ers will challenge Christianity in every part of the world.
