Just because Raheel Khan believes that the interpretation of the Quran he
believes in is what God intended, it does not mean that the Ahmadis have no
right to go about claiming something different. 

You say that 'a "true" religion is known by its message, and by its signs' but
you offer no objective evidence to prove that the Ahmadis are wrong in their
belief or rather that you are right. 

If I extend your argument to Islam, it would be very pertinent to question the
belief that the Quran is indeed the word of God (if there is a God) and that
Muhammad was a genuine prophet. Muslims only have his word that the Quran is
the
word of God and that he was chosen as a prophet. Whatever you or any "muslim"
believes, there can be no legal binding on what others can believe or not or
what they can call themselves just because you or others of your ilk believe in
something else.
