Violence Against Ahmadi Muslims In Asia

EDM number 290 in 2016-17, proposed by Margaret Ferrier on 05/07/2016.
Categorised under the topics of Asia, Crimes of violence, Religion and faith communities and Religious discrimination.

That this House notes with concern that recently members of the Ahmaddiya faith have been targeted in religious hate crimes across Asia; recognises that an Ahmadi mosque was attacked and destroyed in Central Java, which local media claims was the 114th attack on Ahmadis in Indonesia since 2007; further recognises that in Pakistan, at least two Ahmadi Muslims have been murdered in target killings in Karachi, both widely reported as being religiously motivated; condemns in the strongest possible terms all forms of racism, sectarianism and religious hatred; highlights the fact that Ahmadi Muslims are a peaceful strand of Islam, with their UK community abiding by the motto Love for All, Hatred For None; and on a cross-party basis calls on the Government to use its diplomatic channels to make representations to the Pakistani and Indonesian authorities to try to eradicate such violent acts.

This motion has been signed by a total of 33 MPs.
