The Wrong Kind Of Muslim An Untold Story Of Persecution by Qasim Rashid

The Wrong Kind of Muslim: An Untold Story of Persecution

Why Write This Book?

May 28, 2012 was the 2-year anniversary of the Taliban’s attack on two mosques in Lahore, Pakistan. That day, the Taliban murdered 86 Ahmadi Muslims and 1 Christian. The Pakistani Police watched it happen from a safe distance, and even now have made no arrests. Why?

The Wrong Kind of Muslim is the first book of its kind. It relates these untold accounts of persecution and torture, directly from those living and dying under Pakistan’s oppressive regimes. This book gives voice to their forced silence. A silence which, if broken, is punishable with arrest, fine, or death.

I was hardly three years old when it became a crime for me to call myself a Muslim in Pakistan. Now, my son is three. My sincere hope is that this book helps move hearts and minds so that when I take my son to visit the land of his ancestors, he will be treated as an equal, not as a criminal.

Thank you for reading this. I hope you enjoy reading the book.
