description: Reveals how Ahmadi traditional society deals with conflicts arising from contact with the non-Ahmadi Shows a society strictly grounded in divinely prescribed patterns but at odds with fanatical Muslim fundamentalism Following on the work he began in Conscience and Ahmadi Muslims and Orthodoxy in Pakistan, Antonio Gualtieri returned to Pakistan to continue his conversations with devotees of the Ahmadi community.
