They have already endured Government persecution and bloody Islamist attacks in Pakistan. Now they're threatened in Britain

Islamic extremists have started openly calling for the destruction of a controversial Muslim sect in a major escalation of sectarian conflict within British Islam, an investigation by The Independent has revealed.

Members of the Ahmadiyya Community have seen a significant upsurge in threats and intimidation over the past four months, sparked by an extremist attack on two of their largest mosques in Pakistan earlier this year.

Hardline Islamists in Britain have been distributing leaflets calling for the murder of AhmadiMuslims in Kingston-upon-Thames whilst mosques have been vandalised in Newham and Crawley. Preachers in south London have also been orchestrating a boycott of Ahmadi businesses and Ofcom has had to reprimand an Islamic satellite channel for repeatedly calling the sect "Wajib-ul Qatal" - an Arabic phrase used to describe those who digress from mainstream Islam that translates as "liable for death".

Is calling for people to be murdered no considered a crime in England? Just curious, because I'm sort of wondering why these people aren't all in jail or kicked out of the country.

I wonder that too. As far as I know "incitement to hatred" is illegal, let alone incitement to commit a criminal act. But Islamists often seem to get a free pass on the grounds of freedom of religion, or perhaps on the grounds of "Let's not upset them, or they'll come and blow us up." :dunno:

That's my question, too.

Certainly if I were calling for someone to be murdered, I would expect the police to arrest me for it.
