Abstract: | Ahmadiyya is a Muslim sect named after its founder, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad born in 1835 in the Punjab. Ahmadiyya is essentially antichristian. Antagonism between orthodox Moslem and Ahmadi is sharp, though Ahmadis in some sense are conservative. The principal groups are in Pakistan, Indonesia, East and West Africa. |
