Intro
In June of 1948, the Ahmadiyya Movement was given the opportunity to have a separate army regiment. It was called the Furqan Force and was formed in June of 1948. At the same time, the Ahmadiyya Khalifa was negotiating a steal of a deal for the rights to a piece of land now called Rabwah. In those days the Ahmadiyya Movement had lots of political power and was using it to spread its tentacles in the newly formed Pakistan. The unit fought for Pakistan against India in the First Kashmir War of 1948. The Battalion was placed at the disposal of the Commander in Chief of the Pakistan Army on 10th July 1948. Some of the Army Officers in this Ahmadi unit were Major Waqiuz-Zaman, Major Hamidullah and Capt. Nehmatullah Sharif. A year earlier, in 1947, the Ahmadiyya Movement presented a list of 199 Ahmadi officers who were serving in the British military. The British Government even opened a pilot training school at Qadian in the early 1940’s. In those days, if someone was an Ahmadi, their entry into the military was expedited, since Ahmadi’s were the most trusted group of Indian’s by the British. In fact, it is rumored that Zia ul Haq even did bait at the hand of the Khalifa in 1941. As early as 1941, there was an Ahmady only company which fought on the Burma front, Bashir Ahmad Orchard met them and eventually joined Ahmadiyya since he saw how favorable the British viewed them. In the same year (1948), an Ahmadi, Ghulam Nabi Gilkar was appointed as President for Azad Kashmir by the Khalifa himself, and via the order of the British government. Even in Africa, in the Gambia, the first head of state was an Ahmadi.

Bashir Ahmad Rafiq tells us

“””In 1948 when I was a Matriculation student in Chiniot, the Headmaster once directed all students in the 9th and the 10th classes to assemble in the hall. He said that Hadhrat Syed Wali ul Allah Shah, a high-ranking office bearer of the Jamaat, would address us. His address was indeed full of fervor and enthusiasm. He explained in detail the importance of Jihad and said that at the request of the Pakistan Government the Jamaat Ahmadiyya had established a voluntary Battalion to serve at the Kashmir Front. He said that Hadhrat Mirza Nasir Ahmad had been appointed as the Commander. Further, he said that it was Hadhrat Khalifa tul Masih II’s wish that some students from the High School should volunteer and join the force.”””

Who is Bashir Ahmad Rafiq (1931–)?



He is a famous Ahmadi imam. He worked out of the UK mostly and is famous in Ahmadiyya history. He wrote many books and even left behind a blog and website. When he was 14 years old, he volunteered and fought with the Furqan Force in Kashmir. He writes about getting training in grenades and rifles. He says that he heard speeches everyday about Jihad and its importance.

He describes his story as grueling experience wherein he lived in a full war zone. Due to the absence of cleanliness and sanitation, boils and pimples appeared all over his body, he was relieved of his duties and was sent for medical review. 3 months later, he was discharged from the Furqan Force, he then resumed his schooling.

Under the command of Mirza Mubarak Ahmad, a platoon of 45 Ahmadi’s, eventually moved to MirajKay to fight on the Jammu front. A newspaper, the “Lahore” seems to have requested the Khalifa, it needs to be further investigated. An organizing committee under Mirza Nasir Ahmad, he then recruited Ahmadis to join. By June of 1948, the Furqan Force was ready for training. A retired British-India-era Ahmadi colonel, Sardar Muhammad Hayat Qaisarani took charge of the batallion and was stationed at Sarai Alamgir near Jhelum. Mirza Mubarak Ahmad was the commander. The Furqan Forced camped near Zubair and the commanding officer was called “Alam Kabob”, (a name revealed to MGA for the future Musleh Maud). Other Ahmadi’s officers from the old British India were Major Waqi-uz-Zaman, Major Hameed Ahmad Kaleem, Major Abdul Hamid, Major Abdullah Mahar and Captain Naimatullah Sharif. (See “Ahmadiyya, British-Jewish Connections”, pages 290-292).

Ahmadi’s aren’t made to follow MGA, they follow their current Khalifa. This is yet another point of contention. After 1900, MGA abrogated Jihad (see Nuzhat Haneef), and Jihad of any kind of sword or martial Jihad, it was all banned, the only thing that remained was spiritual Jihad. After this era, 1900-1902, MGA and his team never clarified this position.

[Marginal note:] Allaah Almighty has gradually decreased jihaad, that is, the severity of wars/fighting. In the time of Hadrat Moosaa [Moses] the severity was so much that even accepting faith could not save [one] from being killed and even infant children were murdered/killed. Then in the time of our Prophet, the blessings of Allaah and peace be on him, the killing of children and the old and women was forbidden and then for certain nations, their being saved from punishment was accepted merely by the payment of ‘jizyah’ [a tax levied on non-Muslims for exemption from military duty] in lieu of faith. And then in the time of Maseeh Mauood the command for jihaad was entirely abolished. [RK, v. 17, p. 443; marginal note; Arbaeen Number 4]

The famous Ahmadi Generals

The first ever Ahmadi General was General Nazir Ahmad (1947), he was mentioned in the famous list of 199 Ahmadi officers that was presented to the boundary commission in 1947. Colonel Mirza Daud Ahmad was also mentioned in the list, he is a grandson of MGA. After him came General Abdul Ali Malik and General Akhtar Hussain Malik (these 2 are brothers), Zafar Ahmad Chaudhry, Major General Iftikhar Janjua, Major General Ijaz Amjad, Brigadier General Ijaz Ahmad Khan, Brigadier General Waqiuz Zaman, the Lahori-Ahmadi Major General Abdul Saeed Khan, and we are still adding to the list. There were also those were super trusted by the colonist back in 1947, they were Major Malik Habib-ullah (who died at the age of a 100) (from Dhulmial), Captain Nizam ud Din (he was the father of Brigadier General Mohammad Iqbal Khan) and Captain Umar Hayat (father of Commander Yousaf), Major-General Nasir Ahmad Chaudhry is another. In terms of Medical Doctors, Dr. Major Shah Nawaz, Commander Dr. Abdul Latif (ww-2 era) were some of the first. During Zia’s era, Lt-Gen Mahmood-ul-Hassan and his protege Major General Dr. Mahmood ul Hassan Noori who was probably the last Qadiani to make it to the rank of General.

The Furqan Battallion: The historical role of Ahmadiyya community as Pakistan army’s Jihadist proxy in Kashmir

The historical and important role of Pakistan’s Ahmadiyya community as willing participants and volunteers in Pakistan army’s Jihadist operations for the intended liberation of (Azad) Kashmir remains largely under-explored. In this post, we are collecting some of the material (articles, book extracts, pictures) which shed light on this topic.

Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmud Ahmad, the second Head of the Ahmadiyya community propelled the formation of an all-Ahmadi volunteer militant force called Furqan Battalion that fought on the Kashmir front in 1948 as a non-State proxy of Pakistan army. This unit or battallion’s troops were drawn exclusively from the Ahmadiyya community – even its expenses were paid for by Ahmadis.

The Furqan Force or Furqan Battalion was a uniformed fighting force of volunteers (described as servant of faith or khuddam-i-din[1]) in newly formed Pakistan, composed of the minority Ahmadiyya branch Muslims. Formed in June 1948[2] at the direction of Ahmadiyya leader Mirza Mahmood, at the request of Pakistan government, the Furqan Force, along with the Pashtun Lashkar of Waziristan, was amongst the first non-State actors used by Pakistani State for Jihadist activities. The Furqn Force  unit fought for Pakistan against India in the First Kashmir War.[3] In addition to its troops being drawn from the Ahmadiyya population, the expenses of maintaining the unit were also paid by that community.[4] The unit was disbanded on 7 June, 1950.[2]

Following the anti-Ahmadiyya Lahore riots of 1953, a Pakistani court of inquiry cited the Furqan Battalion in discussions of the Ahmadi role in Pakistani society.[1]  (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furqan_Force)

Excerpt from Justice Munir’s report (p.198):

The Ahmadis are a well-knit community. Their headquarters are in an exclusively Ahmadiya town where is located a central organisation which has different departments, such as department of foreign affairs, department of internal affairs, department of public affairs and department of publication and propaganda which are to be found in the organisation of a regular secretariat. They have also a batch of volunteers, called khuddam-i-din, composed of the Furqan Battalion, which was an exclusively Ahmadiya Battalion serving in Kashmir.

Report of the Court of Inquiry constituted under Punjab act II of 1954 to enquire into the Punjab disturbances of 1953

Formation of Furqan Battalion and Azad Jammu & Kashmir

The interest which the Hazrat had evinced in Kashmir did not die down with the passage of time for even after partitioning of the country, in September, 1947, he convened a meeting of the representatives of the Jamaat in Rattan Bagh, Lahore. And desired the formation of a Volunteers Corps to fight the battle for Pakistan in Kashmir. His address was so stirring and inspiring and it infused such a spirit of sacrificing lives for the sake of the country, that the voices of ‘Yes, I am ready’ were heard from all the corners. Consequently Furqan Battalion was formed in June, 1948. The volunteers fought heroically at Bhagsar Front from June 1948 to June 1950. The bold fight which they put up constitutes a glorious chapter in the history of defense of Pakistan.

Here, perhaps, it would not be out of place to mention that Rattan Bagh was that historic place where the Imam of Ahmadiyya Community convened a meeting of Kashmiri leaders and workers and it was in this meeting that the foundations of Azad Jammu and Kashmir state were laid and, according to the decision of this meeting, presided over by the Head of Ahmadiyya Community, Khawaja Ghulam Nabi Gilqar became the first President of this State on 4 October, 1947 and later, on his arrest, the Presidentship was entrusted to Sardar Muhammad Ibrahim. Thus Hazrat Sahib performed constructive role in the affairs of Kashmir.

Furqan Battalion

In June, 1948 Mirza Mahmud set up Furqan Battalion to axe his grind in Kashmir affairs. In a special session of Majlis-i-Shoora, he announced that he had been persuaded by some military officers to send at least a platoon on Jammu front to take part in Kashmir war. Under the command of Mirza Mubarak Ahmad, a platoon of 45 Ahmadis, after receiving instructions from M.M.Ahmad, then Deputy Commissioner Sialkot, moved to MirajKay to fight on the Jammu front. The Government of Pakistan, claims an Ahmadi weekly paper Lahore, itself requested Mirza Mahmud to send a Battalion on Kashmir front. An Organizing Committee under Mirza Nasir Ahmad (Fatehuddin) was set up which recruited Ahmadi volunteers and by June 1948 the Furqan Battalion, under the command of Col. (Retd.) Sardar Muhammad Hayat Qasarani was formed which stationed at Sarai Alamgir near Jhelum. After Qaisarani, Mirza Mubarak Ahmad became its commander. The Furqan camp was named Zubir and the commanding officer was called ‘Alam Kabab’, (a name revealed to Mirza Ghulam Ahmad for the future Muslih Maud, Mirza Mahmud claimed that ‘office’ in 1944). Besides Col. Qaisarani, Maj. Waqi-uz-Zaman (Second in Command), Major Hameed Ahmad Kaleem, Major Abdul Hamid, Major Abdullah Mahar and Cap. Naimatullah Sharif occupied important positions in the Battalion.

The Battalion advanced from Baghsar front to the Valley of Saadabad on 10 July 1948 and occupied a portion of it about miles wide and 5 miles long when the cease-fire took place. Nine Ahmadis were killed during Kashmir war.74 As the war was going on, Mirza Mahmud summoned some influential Ahmadis to Lahore to start a movement inside the Valley. Khalifa Abdul Manan, the son of Khalifa and an engineer by profession, was called to Lahore and advised to contact some one in the Valley to help in the execution of the Ahmadi plan. He states:

He (Mirza) then said: ‘I want reliable person from the Valley who should be available for operation on the fighting line to’… ‘I (Mannan) at once said: yes, Your Holiness! I have one in mind, but he is presently in Srinagar “Can he come”? He inquired and I said ‘yes’, “but I have no means to communicate with him.” ‘You write him and give me the letter.’ I wrote, the message reached him in Srinagar, he left in disguise immediately. He was under orders of arrest from the Emergency Administration. He reached Lahore within a few days, presented himself at Rattan Bagh and started the assigned work and continued to work for years and year.” 75

Furqan Force concentrated its activities mostly in the Saadabad Valley Sector. It was a spy rather than a fighting force. The leaders of the Muslim Conference expressed their apprehensions on the Ahmadi involvement in Kashmir affairs. Sardar Aftab Ahmad, General Secretary, Muslim Conference, condemned the Ahmadi role in Kashmir war and held them responsible for spying and playing an Imperialist inspired game.76

Mirza Mahmud, in his address dated 27 December 1950 states:

 

‘Sardar Aftab Ahmad, General Secretary Muslim Conference Kashmir, has alleged that Ahmadis had sent the Furqan Force to fight in Kashmir as a part of a conspiracy. They leaked secret reports to the Indian Army. On the basis of their reports the enemy war planes bombarded Pakistan’s strategic positions. All the leading newspapers of the Punjab carried his statement. We made a complaint to the Government stating ‘Why did Government allow us to remain in Kashmir for two years’? The Government asked Sardar Aftab to retract and the Ministry of Kashmir prepared a draft statement and sent it to Karachi to contradict his earlier statement. But Sardar Aftab’s statement appeared in distorted form only in least circulated daily Tamir, Rawalpindi. After sometimes in November 1950 Sardar Aftab repeated the same allegations on the arrival of Sir Owen Dixon mission in Pakistan as mediator on Kashmir question although the volunteer forces had been withdrawn from Kashmir by that time.’77 

The Furqan Battalion was disbanded on 17 June 1950. Brig K.M.Sheikh of Pak Army read out the message of Gen Gracey, C-in-C of the Battalion to the Furqan Force in a ceremony held for that special purpose:

Gracey paid a glowing tribute to Furqan Battalion in his message dated 17 June 1950. The text of the message to the Battalion from the notorious General Sir Douglas Gracey, K.C.I.C.B.E., M.C., Commander in Chief (Furqan Battalion) is given below:

 

“Your offer to provide a volunteer force in the fight for liberation of Kashmir in June, 1948 was gratefully accepted, and the Furqan Bn came into being. After a short period of training during the summer of 1948, you were soon ready to take your place in the field. In September 1948 you were placed under Commander MALF. Your Bn was composed entirely of volunteers who came from all walks of life, young peasants, students, teachers, men in business, they were all imbued with the spirit of service for Pakistan; you accepted no renumeration, and no publicity for the self sacrifice for which you all volunteered. Yours was a noble cause.You impressed us all with your keenness to learn, and the enthusiasm you brought with you. You and your officers soon got over many difficulties that face a young unit.In Kashmir you were allotted an important sector, and very soon you justified the reliance placed on you and you nobly acquitted yourself in battle against heavy enemy ground and air attacks, with not losing a single inch of ground.

Your conduct both individual and collective and your discipline have been of a very high order.

As your mission is over and your Bn is under orders to disband. I wish to thank every one of you for the services you have rendered to your country. Khuda Hafiz.” 78

THE FURQAN BATTALION:

The Jamaat-e-Ahmedia first sent a forty-men group under Mirza Mubarik Ahmad, which was posted at Merajkay, Sialkot; two of them were killed. Later, in June 1948, they sent a battalion, named “Furqan Battalion” which received its training at village Sohan near Sara-i-Alamgir. It was led first by Col. Muhammad Hayat Kaisrani and then by Col. Mubarik Ahmad. It was posted to Baghsar, Bhimber, on 10th July 1948 to see active duty. Five of its men were killed in action. It was disbanded on 15th June, 1950. A special function was held at Sara-i-Alamgir on 17h June, 1950, to mark its disbandment. The Commander-in-Chief of the Pakistan army, General Sir Dougles Gracey sent a message, read by Brig. M. K. Sheikh, in which he said: “In Kashmir, you were allotted an importantsector and very soon you justified the reliance placed on you and you nobly acquitted yourself in battle against heavy enemy ground and air attacks, without losing a single inch of ground.

The Furqan Battallion

Towards the end of April 1948 it was realised that India had decided to seek a solution of the problem of Kashmir through the use of military force, and military intelligence indicated that India was making preparations for a military advance in
strength all along the line in Kashmir. The Prime Minister of Pakistan received a report from the Commander-in-Chief of the Pakistan forces which stressed the perilous situation in which Pakistan would be placed in case of a military advance in force by India along the Kashmir border. The report concluded with a strong recommendation that Pakistan should post its regular forces along the border of Kashmir in sufficient strength to block the advance of the Indian forces. Acting upon the advice of the Commander-in-Chief, the Prime Minister, who also held the portfolio of defence, authorised military dispositions to be made along the Kashmir border in conformity with the recommendation of the Commander-in-Chief, so that from the first week of May 1948 the regular forces of both Dominions were engaged in combat against each
other along the Kashmir border.

Furqan Force

Imam Bashir Ahmad Rafiq and the Furqan Force
http://www.thecult.info/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1739

In June 1948, I was ordered to report to the Commandant of the Furqan Force at Jhelum. I went to my village to get permission from my parents. I told my father that I had volunteered to fight the Indian Army on the Kashmir Front. My father was very happy that I had responded to the call of Hazrat Khalifatul Masih but my mother was greatly worried and sad. I was her eldest son and was very young. She became very emotional and wept when I bade her farewell. My father accompanied me to the nearest Railway Station to see me off.

After the partition of India, I was sent to be admitted to the T.I. High School, Chiniot near Rabwah. It was 1948 and Rabwah did not exist then. T.I. High School was in an evacuee property that Hindus had left at the time of partition. I was only 17 years of age and was a student of 10th class.

In April 1948 we received instruction from Hazrat Khalifatu Masih II to volunteer for Jihad in Kashmir. Indian army had occupied Kashmir illegally. The Pakistan Government requested Hazrat Khalifatul Mash II to help them by raising a battalion of Ahmadi youth to fight in Kashmir. This battalion was called The Furqan Force. It consisted of only Ahmadi volunteers. I immediately volunteered myself and Huzoor graciously granted me the permission to join the Furqan Force and instructed that I should be sent to the Kashmir Front.

In June 1948, I was ordered to report to the Commandant of the Furqan Force at Jhelum. I went to my village to get permission from my parents. I told my father that I had volunteered to fight the Indian Army on the Kashmir Front. My father was very happy that I had responded to the call of Hazrat Khalifatul Masih but my mother was greatly worried and sad. I was her eldest son and was very young. She became very emotional and wept when I bade her farewell. My father accompanied me to the nearest Railway Station to see me off.

A few minutes before the arrival of the train, he became very emotional. I could see tears flowing from his eyes. He embraced me for a long time and then said: -“My dear son! You have volunteered for a great cause. It is solely your own choice and decision. I am proud of you. You are going to the battle field where chances are that you may be killed. This might be our last meeting. It is possible that I may not see you again. You are my eldest son and I love you. If it was the will of God that you should lay your life in His path then I want you to embrace martyrdom with courage and bravery. One day every one of us has to depart from this world but being killed in the way of Allah is the greatest achievement of a true believer. Do not think of us; concentrate on your duties on the front. God will never let you go waste. My prayers are with you.” He then broke down. Tears flowed from his eyes and he embraced me.

The train arrived and he helped me to board the train. We were both highly emotionally charged. Our eyes were wet.

The train arrived at Jhelum Railway Station in the early hours of the next morning. There was a volunteer to receive me at the Railway Station. He took me to the Furqan Force Training Camp which was established at a Canal bank. There were dozens of tents in the open ground. I was assigned a tent where there were three other Pathan volunteers. Blankets, a tea mug, a pillow and some towels were provided from the Camp store.
After a little while I was asked to report to the Camp Commandant. I was taken to his tent where he was sitting with two of his colleagues. He was a Colonel in Pakistan Army and was an Ahmadi. He welcomed me to the Camp in a very polite manner and then instructed me to undergo a fifteen days Crash course of drills and the use of weapons. He ordered the Camp Store Manager to give me a uniform and a rifle.

The next day we were woken up by the sound of a bugle followed by Azan for Fajr prayers. After the prayers, Dars of the Holy Quran was given by the Camp Imam who was a teacher of the Ahmadiyya Missionary Training College. We were told to have a cup of tea and then assemble in the open ground. Subedar Sher Ahmad Khan of the Pakistan Army was our Instructor. He had long mustaches and was of a strong and firm built. We were given lessons in the use of guns and grenade throwing. The drill was really tough and we sweated profusely. In the afternoon, we played various games under the supervision of our instructor.

After fifteen days we were told that we would be sent to the Front in a day or two. One evening we received instructions to get ready for our onward march to the battle front. At around ten’o clock in the evening, we boarded the Army Lorries which had very dim lights. We were told to observe absolute silence during the journey. Around Fajr prayers we reached a place called Bhimber. We took shelter in trenches there and slept the whole day. Late in the evening, we were told that we would walk throughout the night from Bhimber to the battle front. As we were now in the shelling range of the Indian Army we were strictly forbidden to talk or produce any noise. It was pitch darkness and it was hilly area. All night long we walked in the darkness in complete silence. There was no road or a pathway. We reached the Front in the morning. We were terribly tired and hungry.

The commandant was Colonel Qaisarani of the Pakistan Army. He was an Ahmadi. He gave us a lecture on the virtues of Jihad and then assigned us to various Companies. I was placed in a Company which had a few Pathan volunteers. They welcomed me and told me to have some sleep as I would have to be on guard duty during the night.

Life was really tough in the trenches. It was cold in the night and the sleeping area was very small. It was difficult to stretch our legs while sleeping as it could touch others in the trench. There was a shortage of food stuff. There was no canteen. In the morning, brunch was served which was always lentil (Dall) and Roti. Then in the evening again it used to be Dall and sometimes Potatoes. Tea was only available in the morning.
The tough routine of guard duties and the lack of proper food soon told upon our health and made us weak. Everyone lost weight. We would sleep most of the day and would be on duty all night. Twice a week we would go on patrol near the enemy lines and often were fired upon. This was the toughest part of our duty.

One day, we washed our uniforms and spread them near our trench in the open, to dry. This was seen by the enemy gunners. We were sleeping in our trench when suddenly the trench was targeted by the heavy guns of the Indian Army. Our trench was covered in heavy dust and our uniforms that were spread outside to dry were torn to pieces. This went on for about fifteen minutes. The Commandant of our camp saw this and as our trench was totally engulfed by dust he thought that we were all killed. The news spread quickly that all the Pathans in the trench had been killed.

We remained in our trench for another half an hour lest we might be targeted again. During this time we recited the Kalima loudly as we thought we were about to be killed. The trench was full of dust and its roof had collapsed at a few places. I thought of my mother and father and felt sorry for them. How would they receive the news of the martyrdom of their eldest son?

The shelling stopped and we came out in the open. Our faces were unrecognizable because of the layers of dust on them. We were shaking badly. When the Commandant and others saw us they raised the slogan of Allaho Akbar. They had thought that we had been killed in the trench. It was as if we had come back to life after death. The Commandant embraced us.

The next day we were called by the Commandant and were reprimanded by him for our negligence to spread our uniforms in the open. As punishment we were given extra duties for two days.

After four months we were relived by a new batch of volunteers and we returned to our homes. I had lost considerable weight and was very weak. My mother embraced me and wept to see me in that condition.

Video: Furqan Force: Jihad by sword or service for the nation?
Uploaded on 20 Nov 2010
On which basis was the Furqan Force established by the Ahmadiyya Movement, whilst they claim that by the advent of the Promised Messiah Jihad by the sword would have come to an end.

http://www.amaonline.org/video/jxoAKnsNocg

And the “Suspension of Jihad” article ends this way:

Finally, we would draw attention to a statement of Hazrat Khalifatul Masih II which explains the attitude of the Ahmadiyya Community towards Jihad. He states:
As the salat is obligatory so, when the need arises, is fighting for the faith obligatory… It should be remembered that of the matters which have prescribed as the principal constituents of faith, one is Jihad… He who turns away from Jihad when it becomes obligatory is condemned to hell. (Report of the Majlis Mushawarat, 1950)

At a time when the conditions for Jihad by the sword did not exist the Ahmadiyya Community eagerly carried out Jihad with the Holy Quran, which has been called the Great Jihad, and Jihad against their own selves, which has been called the Greatest Jihad. They continue to refute the Christian and Arya Samajist opponents of Islam. After the establishment of Pakistan, when the Dogra forces and the Indian army were suppressing the Muslims of Kashmir, the Ahmadiyya Community of Pakistan was the only one that raised a volunteer corps called the Furqan Force to fight in Kashmir along with the army of Pakistan and thus carried out Jihad by sword in practice. Several young men of the Furqan Force became martyrs in this fighting. Thus, when the time came for Jihad by the sword the Ahmadiyya Community participated in it at once and should the conditions of Jihad by the sword arise again, the Ahmadiyya Community will, God willing, not hesitate to discharge the obligation of Jihad by the sword.

Here is an example in practice, not just theory, where Ahmadis apparently used violence (which contradicts your earlier claim that this has never happened). By many other standards this violence may have been justifiable, but not by pacifist standards.

“A pacifist tradition within Islam”?

HISTORIC ROLE OF HADHRAT MIRZA BASHIR UDIN MAHMOOD AHMAD, 2nd Caliph of Jamaat Ahmadiyya

He helped install THE FIRST “GOVERNMENT-IN-EXILE” FOR AZAD JAMMU AND KASHMIR.

Head of that Government was Mr. Ghulam Nabi Gilkar (an Ahmadi).

He deputed his personal Aircraft to transport the AJK Government in Exile (amidst a huge flooding and breakage of the GT road) from Lahore to Rahwali Cantt. (today’s Gujranwala Cantt). From where they traveled by road to Bhimbher.

He presented a Battalion of Ahmadi Youth – FURQAN BATTALION – (including his own sons and nephews) to the Pakistani Army to fight and defend the Azad Kashmir Front Lines.

He DONATED his personal Aircraft to Pakistan Air Force; that became the very first Foundation of PAF.

(the plane used to sit in the National PAF Museum Peshawar until 1972)
