Western 'converts' pledge allegiance to Islamic doomsday sect on TikTok

This is the moment Westerners read pledges of allegiance online to a beanie-wearing Islamic doomsday sect, which this week faced allegations of sex abuse and forced marriage.So-called converts are declaring their faith to the controversial Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light (AROPL) on social media platform TikTok.The videos include people from Poland , Spain , France and America reading out a statement in which they pledge allegiance to Imam Mahdi - a saviour figure from Islamic doomsday prophecy.They profess that the Mahdis are 'the proof of Allah' and 'upon this I shall be resurrected again'.The Shia religious sect, whose followers all wear black beanie hats, combines Islamic theology with conspiracy theories about the Illuminati and aliens secretly controlling US presidents.
