Career

A UK-born and raised Bangladeshi Sunni Muslim convert to Shiism (the second sect in Islam after Sunnism), Ahmed is critical of USA foreign policy and the creation of proxy wars that he asserts were the result of manipulation by both the U.S. and the former USSR in Afghanistan.

Ahmad also advocates establishing, in his own words, “a perfect, single global Islamic government”. In the conclusion to his book, ‘Al-Mahdi: His Portended Revolution & Its Implications for the Global Islamic Movement’ (http://www.mutah.com/al-mahdi.doc), Ahmad states:

“The doctrine of the return of Imam Mahdi is one of the most revolutionary aspects of Islam. The return of Imam Mahdi signifies the ultimate destruction of all oppressive systems, the final negation of all false gods, and the total annihilation of the forces of injustice. It signifies the complete removal of kufr from the earth, and the decisive establishment of a perfect, single global Islamic government under the rulership of Imam-e-Zaman, whose reign at last will bring all affairs of humankind under the justice, freedom, love and purity of the Divine Law”

Under another chapter, ‘II. The Objective of All Islamic Political Struggle’, Ahmad details his perspectives on what he considers to be “the correct objective of our Islamic political struggle”. To date Ahmad has not publicly or privately renounced his Islamist political writings.

In his other writings on US and general western foreign policy, he describes how countries such as Afghanistan and Iraq "ha[ve] been plunged into a state of perpetual humanitarian catastrophe." He argues that the Bush administration was "criminally negligent" on September 11, 2001, as evidenced by an indifferent response to initial reports of the attack. He concludes the Afghanistan invasion occurred because the Taliban were too unstable for the construction of pipelines.

He posits that the so-called "War on Terror" is conducted within the framework described by the influential Zbigniew Brzezinski who "envisaged that the establishment, consolidation and expansion of US military hegemony over Eurasia through to Central Asia would require the unprecedented, open-ended militarisation of foreign policy, coupled with an unprecedented manufacture of domestic support and consensus on this militarisation campaign."

Most recently he has published on the subject of UK state policy and the deep background to the July 7 bomb attacks in London. In the past, Ahmed was a researcher for the Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC). According to Awaaz, an organisation that monitors religious fundamentalism in South Asia/South Asian communities, IHRC is considered be a neo-Khomeinist organisation and is rumoured to have received funding from the office of Ayatollah Khameni, the supreme leader of Iran. According to Awaaz, IHRC is part of a corpus of right-wing Islamist organisations "which adhere to the ideology of the ‘absolute rulership of the clerics’ and ‘Islamic government’ advocated by Khomeini and developed by other representatives of political Shi’ism. The Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC) in the UK can be said to represent an association with this kind of ideological influence" . Some of Ahmed's published reports and briefings can be found on the IHRC website. Prior to his work with the IHRC, Ahmed was editor of the Islamic Unity Society's (IUS) newletter (in addition to his involvement with other Muslim community organisations). Whilst as editor of the IUS newsletter, Ahmed was embroiled in a dispute with Medhi Hassan, currently a Sky News producer, over the Hindu-occupation of predominately Muslim Kashmir. In an unsolicited polemic against both Ahmed himself and his initial article on the issue of occupied Kashmir, Hassan, for what ever reason, took to comparing Ahmed to Osama bin Laden and Omar Bakri, the former leader of the now banned UK-based Sunni Islamist group, Al-Muhajiroun. In a subsequent edition of the IUS newsletter, Ahmed refuted Hassan’s accusations, pointing out Hassan’s factual and intellectual mistakes and assumptions. To date, Hassan has not privately or publicly responded to Ahmed’s response.
