I refer to the Malaysiakini report Ahmadiah akur larangan MAIS hentikan solat Jumaat .

I am a German citizen and a female member of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community which is known to be the most peaceful religious movement in Islam.

As a minority sect founded in 1889 with members are spread in over 193 countries, it has been suffering from various types of persecution just because it believes in the advent of the Promised Messiah who has come to give a message of ‘love for all - hatred for none' according to our belief and motto.

Our spiritual leader lives in exile in our headquarters in London. The persecution of Ahmadis, especially women and children, is well-known by human rights organisations including Amnesty International.

I hereby wish to pass my utter concerns regarding the recent circumstances for Ahmadis in Selangor, Malaysia.

On April 24, 2009, members of the Malaysian religious authority Majlis Agama Islam Selangor (Mais) delivered an official notice to Ahmadis at our mosque in Selangor ordering us to stop offering prayers at our own mosque.

The order notice said that we risked a one-year imprisonment term if we disobeyed the order.

I was surprised, astonished and deeply shocked when I came to know about this order. Could you please explain how a government can enforce a law that imposes restrictions on the religious beliefs of others?

Religious freedom and every act of worshiping God is a basic human right and such an unjust order that forbids the fulfilling of a religious obligation is unjust and brutal.

Let me say that I deeply condemn any attempts by extremists to brew unjustified hatred and persecution against Malaysian Ahmadi members.

I would like to express my desire that they be allowed to continue living as peaceful, law-abiding citizens in Malaysia. I am watching this situation with great fear and anxiety as I have an uncle and many Muslim brothers and sisters living in Malaysia.

I, therefore, request and imploringly plead for justice for our people. I pray to Allah Almighty that Mais and government officials would reconsider their decision and would go against civil rights as enshrined in the Malaysian constitution.
