Don't know enough about the Ahmadiyas, but from the little I remember coming across they're less fanatic and violence-prone than the mainstream (koran-based) terrorist islam. That's if I haven't altogether confused them with the Bahai.
Anyone <i>know</i> their beliefs on the following - and whether these are majority, uniform or whether the extremes are powerful enough to take over the moderates among them:
1. Jihad vs live-and-let-live
2. Dar-ul-islaming other nations and people, especially us
3. Views on kaffirs (including views on "idolatry")
4. Any subversion and terrorism plans of their own
5. Absolutism of their monotheist god
6. Literal take on Koran
7. Views on reforming Koran
If they fall on the positive side of those (and related) points, I think I could consider being friends. Anyone who won't ever attack us (or others like us), I don't see the point of antagonising.
