hanya orang yg tdk waras saja yg butuh kebingungan, hal yg pasti dan jelas bahwa masalah ahmadiyah adalah masalah penodaan thd agama, tdk blh ada agama dlm agama, sederhana bukan? TAPI segelintir orang yg tdk waras tsb mencoba memaksakan ketidakwarasannya tsb dg mengaburkan persoalan penodaan agama menjadi kebebasan beragama. Hasilnya? babak belur deh..! semoga setelah babak belur, menjadi sembuh dari ketidakwarasannya..
