They disagree with fundamentalist ideas of exclusiveness and consider themselves a reformed version of Islam. Although they have adopted Enlightenment ideas about the pursuit of scientific knowledge and produced a notable number of technicians, doctors, and scientists, women continue to live under a strict definition of purdah and the community remains conservative. The Ahmadis reveals a society strictly grounded in divinely prescribed patterns - including parental authority, close family ties, a disposition towards gender-specific roles, and separation of the sexes - but at odds with fanatical Muslim fundamentalism, whose wrath has spread beyond the Ahmadi minority to include the West.Ahmadiyya membersPakistanAhmadiyyaAhmadiyya membersAhmadiyya.305.6/9786/095491Gualtieri Antonio R.1931-1584584MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910783505603321The Ahmadis3868505UNINA
