The extremist Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan openly incites to murder and massacre.
Recently, two videos emerged from Pakistan featuring sermons by clerics linked to the ultra-fundamentalist organization Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP), to which “Bitter Winter” devoted a series of articles. These speeches chillingly call for the killing of Ahmadis.In the first video, a TLP-aligned cleric states without hesitation: “We also don’t say that we aren’t going to kill… When we are in government, when Nizam-e-Mustafa [the ideal Muslim society] is implemented, a directive will be given from the top: target and kill every Mirzai [Ahmadi] in Pakistan.”
He refers to the Ahmadis as “swines,” describing their lives as “humiliated and disgraceful,” and rationalizes their oppression by citing the laws of Pakistan.
He praises the legal limitations that stop Ahmadis from preaching, constructing places of worship, or even denoting themselves as Muslims—and declares that in an ideal Islamic society, they should be killed.
In a second video, derived from the same event, the same cleric insists, “God willing, we will finish them off—and those Jews as well who nurtured them.”
On top of anti-Ahmadi hate speech and incitement to murder, the cleric also adds anti-Semitism. Will the Pakistani authorities take action?
