Murder in Rabwah

As we mourn the death of six innocent young men and women in California, many remain unaware of the murder of Dr Mehdi Ali Qamar, an American cardiologist, who was killed in Rabwah, Pakistan, on May 26, 2014. He was shot eleven times by two gunmen in front of his wife and toddler son as he was about to enter a graveyard to pray for his deceased relatives. What was the reason for his brutal murder? Simple: he belonged to the Ahmadiyya community.
This is the latest hate crime against Ahmadis in Pakistan. Dr Qamar traveled to Rabwah from Ohio, US, to provide free healthcare at the Tahir Heart Institute. He had returned to his homeland to volunteer his time and effort to serve humanity. Unfortunately, there was no humanity in the hearts of the murderers who martyred an innocent humanitarian in front of his family.
