In December 2014 Facebook pushed a new advert to peoples ‘news feed’ in which a Sikh man, in a turban, explained how new algorithms meant that people would only see the things they want to see (liked) when they log into their Facebook account. Unfortunately that simple message was lost in a torrent of racist comments by people who didn’t want to see that “terrorist” on their screen.

On-line nasty racism will get worse in 2015

For over one hundred years the Lahore Ahmadiyya have been saying that it is unlawful for a married man to simply say the word divorce three times consecutively to affect a divorce from his wife. Our Sunni brothers have consistently rejected our interpretation until a few days ago when the Pakistan Council for Islamic Ideology finally recommended that the ‘three in one’ divorce is invalid and attempts to use it can be classified as a criminal offence.

Another great success for Lahori-Ahmadiyya thought.

The male is also covered from head to toe!
