Ahmadiyah spokesman Ahmad Mubarik says authorities must not force Ahmadis to leave Islam because they are part of the religion.
“We have been officially recognized since 1953. We are part of Islam,” Ahmad said, as quoted by tribunnews.com on Tuesday.
He added that many Ahmadis had dedicated their lives to the betterment of Indonesia, including hero Arief Rahman Hakim and national anthem creator W.R Supratman.
Other famous Ahmadis had become legislators, regents, a state-enterprise director and high-ranking military officers, he said. Ahmad said there were up to 500,000 Ahmadis living across Indonesia.
Your comments:
Who said that Ahmadiyah is not part of Islam?
Prophet Muhammad SAW said there will be the coming of Imam Mahdi and Muslims who have not yet accepted Mirza Gulam Ahmad as Imam Mehdi are still waiting for Imam Mahdi.

Ahmadis/Qadiyanis have never been recognized as a part of Islam in any sense of the word! They have no status in any Muslim country and they are a separate religious cult.
Anyone who rejects the belief in the trinity or atonement, for example, would not be accepted as a “Christian” by the Church. Likewise, anyone who rejects the foundations of Islamic belief in Unity of God and finality of the Prophet cannot be a Muslim by any stretch of the imagination. It is like a pig trying to act like a horse.
The Ahmadis/Qadiyanis have options, as someone previously pointed out. Ahmadi religion cannot exist in the same place as Islam. Indonesia has a duty to protect Muslims from the vile threat these Ahmadis pose to the social cohesion and stability of parts of the country.
In Singapore, Jehovah’s Witnesses were banned because they were not suitable for national/social cohesion.
If all attempts fail to bring the Ahamdis back to Islam, then they need to be banned too!
This issue is not about freedom of religion, it is about attempts to corrupt Islam through a cult. Be warned!

What is the point of asking Ahmadis to leave Islam when more and more people keep converting and embracing Ahmadiyah?
Eventually Ahmadis will outnumber the self proclaimed Muslims.
Why is it so difficult to understand the logic and truth?

The Ahmadis cannot call themselves Muslims just because they have “dedicated their lives to
the betterment of Indonesia, including hero Arief Rahman Hakim and national anthem creator W.R Supratman.
“Other famous Ahmadis had become legislators, regents, a state-enterprises director and high-ranking military officers.”
The fact still is that they are not holding on to one of the pillars of Islam, shahaddah. So they should leave Islam but be allowed to coexist in Indonesia and elsewhere with other religions as a religion of their own.

Most Islamic countries have banned this corrupt religion. Indonesia must follow other Islamic countries as soon as possible, otherwise Indonesia will face a lot of difficulties. If Ahmadiyah declared themselves a non-Islamic religion it would be a suicidal act for them, so they will remain within the Islamic banner to find followers.
The corruptors are everywhere (in the economy, politics, religion, leadership, art, etc.)

No, you are not Muslim. You are out of Islam. If you are Muslim, why are you saying that Mirza is a Prophet?

They said they are part of Islam. What is wrong with it? Who are you to tell someone he is not
Muslim?
Let the matter be between God and his servants. Don’t play God. You had tsunamis and earthquakes already.
Don’t challenge God. I am afraid in the struggle to wipe out Ahmadiyah, Indonesia will be wiped by God from the face of this earth.
