Amazing video. (This "true Islamic caliphate" is considered heretical by nearly every Muslim on Earth, and its followers are hunted in the streets.)https://twitter.com/nowthisnews/status/1057077881338134528 …

"Sam Harris converts to Ahmadiyya" is perhaps the most 2018 headline I could imagine

There's still time!

That would make for a hell of a housekeeping.

I mostly blame
@nowthisnews, the credulous outlet that distributed this video, seemingly without any awareness of how tiny, heterodox, and reviled the Ahmadi sect is -
The core issue is not with your messages, though I'll get to them shortly. Rather, academics and poor journalism are to blame for the prominence of your propaganda. There are brilliant academics and journalists who really know about Islam vis-a-vis Muslim extremists --->
-
A void has been created by academics who fail to engage with non-specialist audiences, coupled with the apathy of sound journalists to the harm caused to their professions and ideas by pseudo-journalists-cum-academics-cum-public speakers. --->
-
A simple formula: 'The good Muslims are the ones who ignore Islam because Islam is bad and wants to harm us all. Any harm ever caused by a Muslim is always religious.' Anything contrary to that premise must be dismissed because it provides a counter narrative to your premise --->

We’ll agree on just about nothing else, Adam but this one time, well said.

No, it's a strawman. One giveaway is that he feels the need to stop and inform me of my views.

Well I’m starting work on a book of my own in the new year. Perhaps I can interview you this time and you can apprise me of them? Same place as last time?
-
Of course. If I can reach you on the same coordinates, I'll let you know when I'm around, before the end of the year

Have a feeling 'Now This' are a subsidiary of RT (Russia Today). It's just Putin funded and endorsed viral videos to stir up arguments and discord in the west. Better ignored than challenged perhaps.

I was a little confused for a minute there. :)

Looking for a little info here, I'm quite ignorant on the Ahmadiyya - this video suggests a gentler form is Islam. Is this all lies and propaganda? Or is the main concern as the OP mentioned that followers of this sect are considered heretical by the majority?

considered heretical by the majority

Sam is CORRECT. The
#AHMADIYYA group are HERETICS; same as SUFIS, SHITES & all other splinter groups claiming#Islam in this day. Their founder (MIRZA GHULAM AHMAD) claimed to be the MAHDI (guide), but NO Mahdi EXISTS in HOLY#QUR'AN. My former music mentor & I (below) DISAGREEDpic.twitter.com/3ayV2BZEbd
