Motion text

That this House notes with concern that recently members of the Ahmadiyya 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.
