Today's Australian has a report on how the boot is being put into some of them, in Indonesia, by other Muslims.
From the report:
Members of Ahmadiyah, which claims hundreds of thousands of followers in Indonesia, are persecuted in many parts of the world but nonetheless maintain a presence in 190 countries.
Key among the controversial aspects of the Sufi-linked group is its refusal to accept a basic tenet of mainstream Islamic theology: the place of the religion's founder, Mohammad, as the final prophet. Ahmadis, as they are known, believe their own founder, the 19th-century Indian mystic Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, was also a prophet.
