The founder of thismovement, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (1835-1908), was proclaimed to be the Promised Reformer of this age as foretold in the Scripturesof almost all major religions of the world. He claimed to be the fulfillment of the long awaited second comming of Jesus Christ(metaphorically), the Muslim Mahdi, and the Promised Messiah. The claims of Hazrat Ahmad raised storms of hostility andextreme opposition, which are often witnessed in the history of divine reformers. Even today this sect is being persecuted especial-ly in some of the Muslim regimes. The right of Ahmadi Muslims to openly practice their religion and to define themselves as Muslimshas been severely restricted in many Muslim Countries. The UnitedNations, human rights organizations such as Amnesty Internationaland top leaderships of some countries have voiced their concerns against this denial of basic human and civil liberaties to themembers of this movement, but so far to no avail. Despite the opposition and persecution, the movement cont-inues to grow with a current membership of millions from around theworld in over 130 countries, who come from diverse ethnic and cul-tural backgrounds. The movement is devoted to world peace and strives towardsdeveloping a better understanding of all religions. Ahmadi Muslimshave always been opposed to all forms of violence, bigotry, reli-gious intolerance and fundamentalism. Among its many philanthropic activities, the sect has es-tablished a network of hundreds of schools, hospitals, and clinicsin many third world countries. These institutions are staffed byvolunteer professionals and are fully financed by the movement'sinternal resources. The movement stresses the importance of educa-tion and leadership. Its members have included a high number ofprofessionals as well as world class individuals. The Ahmadiyya mission is to bring about a universal moralreform, establish peace and justice, and to unite mankind underone universal brotherhood.NEWSGROUP CREATION: ================== The discussion for this proposed newsgroup has now offi-cially ended. Voting will be held for three weeks. If the news-group gets 2/3rd majority AND 100 more "YES/Create" votes than"NO/don't create" votes; the newsgroup shall be created.
