Ahmadis (Urdu: احمدیہ Ahmadiyya), are followers of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. They comprise two subsects, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community (sometimes called the 'Qadiani' community by many Muslims, after Qadian, India, though this term is considered offensive by some) and the Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement (Ahmadiyya Anjuman Ishaat-i-Islam).

Beliefs
Ahmadi Muslims' beliefs are considered heretical and outside of Islam by many Muslims, though an exception may be made by some in the case of the smaller Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement.
According to Ahmadi beliefs, the Ahmadiyyat is the revival of the Islam. With so much in common, there still remains the fundamental difference which sets Ahmadiyya Muslim Community apart from other Muslims. The difference on the issue of revival of Islam. All other differences emanate from this main issue.
Christian Views
Christian churches during the life of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad were actively engaged in debates, prayer duels and written arguments with the Ahmadiyya. Ahmadiyya consider Christians nations to be the propehcised Dajjal and Gog and Magog, thus making the relationship very hostile. The issue of death of Jesus has caused a lot of pressure on the Church throughout the 20th century and the controversy goes on in different forms.
Abbott Freeland, observed in his book, Islam and Pakistan,
Ghulam Ahmad was constantly engaged in controversies with the British missionaries. Western historians have recorded this effort as one of the features of Ghulam Ahmad's legacy. Francis Robinson states;
At their most extreme religious strategies for dealing with the Christian presence might involve attacking Christian revelation at its heart, as did the Punjabi Muslim, Ghulam Ahmad (d.1908), who founded the Ahmadiyya missionary sect.
