MUSLIMS OR HERETICS?
The Ahmadiyas are a small Muslim sect that is at the center of a
growing storm in South Asia. A relatively recent sect, they believe that their spiritual leader was also a Prophet after Prophet Mohammed. Because of this belief, Islamist Parties calls them "heretics" and accuse them of "spoiling the spirit of Islam."

In 2003, the anti-Ahmadiya campaign spread to Bangladesh,
which was once part of Pakistan. In January 2004, the Bangladesh government banned all Ahmadiya books, and followed this with a push for Blasphemy Law.
