Intro
Mufti Muhammad Sadiq and other Ahmadi editors lied about white converts to Ahmadiyya from Europe and America.
He was a white man (see the Moslem Sunrise of Feb-1938, page 20). He first appears in the Moslem Sunrise of Dec-1930, he has an essay on “The Revealed Quran” by Omar Cleveland, it’s a short 2-3 paragraph essay. Nevertheless, this proves that he had some serious standing in the Ahmadiyya Movement in the USA in 1930. He admitted to have converted to Ahmadiyya under Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali (See Moslem Sunrise of Oct-1935). Unlike other white converts, his picture was never given, whereas the majority of the white converts were flaunted in Ahmadiyya newspapers.
It’s unclear where he was during the Schism of 1934-1936 or what role he played in it. He did remain a Qadiani-Ahmadi afterwards and was published in the Moslem Sunrise from 1930-1944. After 1944, he was totally missing and was never mentioned again in the history of Ahmadiyya.
