Pages 660-681 | Published online: 18 Jul 2012
 

Notes

1I do not wish to suggest a single, clearly defined group. The term “community” aims at an individual perception of human beings that is socially determined and constructed. Therefore, a community develops out of subjective criteria, and not out of objective criteria such as language or a common genealogical origin (CitationWeber 1999).

4 CitationAhmed-Ghosh 2004: 74. For detailed information about the Ahmadiyya's history and doctrine see also CitationValentine (2008), CitationGualtieri (1989 and Citation2004), CitationFriedmann (2003), and CitationWalter (1918). CitationSchröter (2001) makes a rather critical contribution. For discussions focusing on legal or political aspects of persecution in Pakistan see CitationKaushik (1996) and CitationAbenante (2000).

7Although contact with Muslims extends over centuries, contemporary European society is just beginning to come to terms with the permanent settlement within their midst of communities distinguished by their socio-cultural and religious background (CitationHusain 2000: 2).
