Religion does not boundry related..... As a muslim if you will bow infront of anyone other than Allah you are doing shirk and you are not muslim........ If you dont know about religion Islam dont discuss it.....For the starters You are not a muslim if you dont believe and act as per first kalma
MJ Naushad,
You are right, just calling yourself "Muslim" does not make you one.
But the problem is that Ahmadis
do follow "first kalma" and Ahmadis
do not bow down before anything other than ALLAH.
So then what is the Problem?
The problem is that they are ambiguous about "Khatme Nabuwwat", and so a lot of Ulema feel that they cannot be called "Muslims" because Khatme Nabuwwah is a central tenet of all sects of Islam.
To return to the issue you raised about bowing down before
anything other than
Allah, I would recommend the following as reading:
--
First they came
First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for me,
and there was no one left to speak out.

First they came for the Hindus, because they said ALL creation was God and bowed down before it,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Hindu.

Then they came for the Christians, because they said that God had a Son and bowed down before Isa,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Christian.
