Pakistan flood survivors from Ahmadiyya community denied shelter & relief goods
MUZAFFARABAD: The government and local clerics refused to shelter around 500 flood-affected families belonging to the Ahmadiyya community in South Punjab’s relief camps. Not only that, the government also did not send relief goods to the flood-hit areas belonging to the Ahmadiyya community, The Express Tribune has learnt during a visit to the devastated Punjab districts of Muzaffargarh, Dera Ghazi Khan and Rajanpur.
For its part, the government claims that all relief goods are being distributed among survivors without discrimination. And that all survivors have been sheltered in relief camps without distinction. The flood-devastated families from the Ahmadiyya community have strongly criticised the government’s “discriminatory attitude” even at a time when the entire country is reeling from the ravages of the worst flooding in living memory.

Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Calls for Peace in Words and Deeds
One of Britain’s oldest established and peaceful Muslim communities is launching a national doorstep and publicity campaign to reassert true Islamic principles of peace and to counter the extremists who hijack the faith for political ends.
The Rt Hon John Denham MP, Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, has expressed support for the campaign and Minister Shahid Malik MP, commended the Ahmadiyya Muslim community for “promoting an understanding and exploration of Islam within wider British society.”
The campaign will be launched with a message of loyalty, freedom and peace on 100 buses in Central London on Monday 18 January followed by further coverage in newspapers across the UK. Ahmadi Muslims will be personally calling on nearly three million households and presenting people with a leaflet that highlights Islam’s commitment to fundamental values of loyalty, freedom, equality, respect and peace.

Persecution in Pakistan Controlled Kashmir
Persecution of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat in Azad-Kashmir has markedly increased in recent weeks and months, particularly in the Bhimber District.
A number of extremist organisations banned by the Government of Pakistan have continued to preach their hate filled messages by virtue of simply altering the names of their organisations. All available evidence strongly suggests that they are being supported, financially and otherwise, by a number of local politicians.
Quran Translated into Maori Language
A 20-year project to translate the Koran into Maori has been completed.
The translated Maori Koran will be launched in April. There is a Fijian version and a Samoan translation is on the way.
Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama New Zealand president Dr Mohammed Shorab said the leader of his Islamic movement had requested the translation while living in London 20 years ago.
He had felt the Maori language would be around until judgment day and people needed the opportunity to hear the Islamic message, said Shorab.
A Pakistani man took on the project and completed it with help from the Maori Language Commission and local kaumatua.
