It should be noted that the Ahmadiyya are a very particular sect of Muslims that reject extremism and believe in peace. In Pakistan they aren't even recognized as Muslim (as they believe in prophets beyond Mohammad, their founder Mirza Ahmad), and are subject to discrimination.

They are an example for the entire Ummah unfortunately they are seen as apostates and heretics by a large percentage of the Muslim community.

Well, Americans are constantly being slaughtered by other Americans, this being justified, it seems, by an antique document interpreted by biased 'scholars' called the Supreme Court, who believe any madman to belong to a totally imaginary militia.

You're comparing gun crime to the persecution and murder of a people based on their religious beliefs?

Not at all - nonsensical interpretations of ancient documents are being used to simpify and justify murder in both cases. You know this is true: The NRA and ISIS differ only in that the NRA is dominant.

Ah yes because the NRA is engaged in mass rape, beheadings, and sawimg infants in half. Spare me your nonsense. The Constitution has built in mechanisms for change through amendments, the Koran does not.
