They believe in one, true God.
They believe in the unseen (heavens, hell, angel, afterlife)
They pray, fast, go to pilgrimage and give charity.
Only difference is that they believe the prophecy of Prophet Jesus coming back has been fulfilled with Golam.
Since they have the characteristics with which Koran identifies a believer, I say they are Muslims. The rest of it: Leave it to God for judging.
THey should have equal right as any other Muslims.
I don't believe in 'Takfir' either so this is only me making sort of a correction : They don't believe in the finality of the Prophethood; they believe that when the Quran talks about 'Seal of Prophethood' its implying only an end to 'Law-Giving' Prophets and that otherwise Prophets may continue coming (even after Mirza Ghulam Ahmed) till the end of times. There is, however, a branch within Jamat Ahmediya who call themselves the 'Lahori Jamat' and they believe that Mirza Ghulam Ahmed's references to himself as a Prophet were only allegorical (as he himself said so himself) and that he was nothing more than a Mujadid (a Reformer) - A scholar who wanted to reform Islam.
