Man wanted for Terrorism in Pakistan finds refuge in Canada
A Pakistani-Canadian man wanted for leading a mob attack on a Mosque in Pakistan has found refuge in Canada.
In December 2016, Rasheed Ahmed, a dual citizen of Pakistan and Canada led a 3000-strong mob which attacked a historic Mosque in the town of Dulmial, northern Pakistan. The Mosque which dates back to 1860 has been at the center of a property dispute between Ahmadis and Sunnis. In 1996 the local Sunnis claimed ownership of the Mosque, a claim which was subsequently dismissed by the court.
Rasheed who is in his early 80’s and has lived in Canada for over 40 years traveled to Pakistan from his home in Missausaga and revived the decade-old campaign to grab hold of the Mosque property. Rasheed along with local clerics also filed an application with the Police requesting assistance in the “take over” of the Mosque.
An application filed with the local Police department by Rasheed and dozen other clerics stated:
“The Qadianis (Ahmadis) are using the Mosque as their worship place which is illegal under the law, We request that you free the Mosque from the Infidels and save Muslim interests by saving the Mosque from these Infidels, If these steps are not taken we will be forced to take extreme measures in order to liberate this Mosque”
The Ahmadis are followers of the Ahmadiyya sect of Islam which is considered heretic by mainstream Muslims. In 1974 Pakistan amended the constitution to declare the Ahmadis “non-Muslims”.
On December 12, 2016, a mob of roughly 3000 armed with automatic weapons and led by Rasheed attacked the Mosque leaving two dead and a half-dozen injured. During the attack which lasted several hours, the Police stood by as the mob ransacked the Mosque and set fire to property. The violent episode came to an end after the Army was called in and imposed a curfew in the town.
Days after the attack, Paki..
