Nasser kick up the Butt alleges foul play in Tooting

Nasser Butt the Lib Dem Parliamentary candidate in Tooting has appeared to allege that supporters of Sadiq Khan may have been involved in a campaign of intimidation because he is an Ahmadiyya.

Apparently Ahmadiyya's are a small freakish Pakistani fringe sect of Islam who are widely acknowledged by all mainstream Muslims to be non believers.

The merits of the ridiculous allegation can be judged by the example provided in the Wandsworth Guardian article ie so called hardliners ended up locking the Tory candidate in the bog rather than the appropriately named Butt. Clearly not much of a campaign when his opponents don't even know who Butt is and to his credit the Tory candidate has got on with his life rather than being a sore loser.

There seems to be a bit of a campaign by Ahmadiyya's supported by their friends in the press to claim they are being persecuted by mainstream moderate Muslims in Tooting which is utter nonsense. While I understand they have been persecuted in Pakistan the allegations against Sadiq and the widely respected Sheikh Sulaiman simply annoys and antagonises the majority of Muslims.

Butt, get a life you were soundly beaten fair and square so stop moaning and hurling unsubstantiated allegations which simply stir up intra religious tensions.
