Ishtiaq Ahmed says that Ahmadis considered Shias and Sunnis heretical and subversive to their faith and therefore it would never be tolerated in a state that was based in Two Nation Theory. Ishtiaq Ahmed deliberately misreads the Two Nation Theory. The Two Nation Theory never said Hindus or Muslims could never live together. These are conspicuous by absence because it does not fit the neat good v evil narrative that Ishtiaq Ahmed is so invested in. I leave it to the reader to decide how forgiving one can be just because Ishtiaq Ahmed is a political scientist and not a historian.
