Intro
In 2026 (Sep), while streaming on a German language news channel called “WELT” on “Freedom of Speech,” with host Nena Brockhaus discusses current socio-political issues with Islamic scholar Susanne Schröter, Arche founder Bernd Siggelkow and Qadiani-Ahmadi Maulvi Sharjil Khalid (also spelled as Scharjil Khalid). Zaitoon FM covered this too. Susanne Schröter suggests that Ahmadiyya is a parallel society.
The issue of Israel came up, Islamic scholar Susanne Schröter accused Ahmadiyya of being against Israel’s right to exist (19:20) since 1948. At 20:58, Susanne Schröter quoted Mirza Masroor Ahmad as stating that Israel’s genocide vs. Gaza caused more harm than good. Qadiani-Ahmadi Maulvi Sharjil Khalid responded to all of this by arguing that Ahmadi’s are trying to foster peace between Muslims and Jews/Christians. Maulvi Sharjil Khalid mentioned the #2026IsraeliJalsa and alleged that it was an example of Ahmadiyya working towards peace. Maulvi Sharjil Khalid quoted studies that Muslims who pray more at mosques, tend to commit less crimes and extremism and participate in the democratic process, this was easily refuted.
At 28:08, Susanne Schröter explains how Ahmadi’s don’t speak for Islam and are considered Kafirs. Susanne Schröter also points out Ahmadiyya is well liked by the Israeli government, however, not liked at all by the local Palestinian Muslims. Susanne Schröter suggests that Ahmadi’s and Muslim’s could never work together. Susanne Schröter suggests that Ahmadiyya is a parallel society. Marriages are arranged inward, no one can quit Ahmadiyya. The Khalifa is in-charge, they all do whatever the Khalifa says! They are forced to build 100 mosques! Even though it is a place wherein barely any Ahmadi’s live. Susanne Schröter called the Ahmadiyya Khilafat, as an authoritarian form of leader centered decisions and the antithesis of modernity/enlightenment. Susanne Schröter essentially called Ahmadiyya as totally against German values and policies.
In 2024, the same Susanne Schröter mentioned the famous case of the honor killing in Germany wherein an Ahmadi man killed his daughter. She has written about the Qadiani’s before. She also mentioned how the Ahmadiyya Community is trying to build 100 temples in Germany and how they don’t care if they are empty. Susanne Schröter (from the Goethe University Frankfurt) is a German social anthropologist who focuses primarily on the study of Islam, gender, and conflict. In this interview (via English subtitles), examines the Ahmadiyya community in Germany in an interview with WELT. While the community is known for its good integration and public relations work, Schröter points to its rigid, orthodox orientation. The influence of the Caliph in London, strict gender segregation and problematic views on Israel are central themes. The question also arises as to how the community reconciles its integration in Germany with these views, especially in light of the current debates about anti-Semitism and Muslim communities.
