Mirza Masroor Ahmad, Fifth Caliph of the Promised Messiah 1835-1908 went to see the Holy Shroud of Jesus at Turin.
A short peaceful dialogue took place.
On Monday, 20 April 2010, Hadhrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, Khalifatul Masih V(aba), Fifth Successor to the Promised Messiah(as) and Head of the Worldwide Ahmadiyya Muslim community, visited the Shroud of Turin Exhibit in Turin, Italy, becoming the first Khalifa to observe the Shroud in person (Mr Fatir Malik, President Ahmadiyya Muslim community Italy had suggested that Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih V(aba) visit the Exhibition during his visit to Italy and Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih V(aba) agreed. Mr Malik spoke to Church officials who were happy to arrange for Hudhur(aba) to visit). Upon reaching the Shroud Exhibit, Hudhur (aba) was greeted by the Director of the Exhibition, Monsignor Ghiberti, and escorted through a special entrance.

I'll take turn of the century religious vacations for $100, Alex
As far as I knw...A caliph is selected by & accepted from whole Islamic community. How come Ahmadiya has a Caliph when it is not even accepted as a Muslim community by majority Muslims?
self appointed...
the same way I am "King of all I See"
Oh...I didnt knw this is how it works. Hmm...So where should I appoint myself...(thinking)...(thinking) ...hey man when will u retire?
So, when will the Islamic world allow non-Muslims into Mecca thus show the same courtesies?
Professor Don Tino Negri:
how are you related to the Founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community?
Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih V(aba):
my relationship is that of great grandson but this relationship has nothing to do with the Khilafat. An electoral college is convened for the elections of Khilafat, as the Pope is elected, behind closed doors. Hence in 2003, at the demise of the Fourth Khalifa(rh), members of the Electoral College, who were from amongst notable persons from all over the world, elected a person behind closed doors; in fact, it was inside a Mosque.
It is Allah’s extraordinary Grace that I have come for the first time and the Shroud of Turin Exhibition is on show. I have heard that usually this exhibition takes place every 25 years, but this time it occurred after 10 years. Nevertheless, I held a great desire to see this and Allah has provided me with this opportunity, and I said that I ought to see it.

Khalifa means Caliph in English; Khilafat is Caliphate in Englihs.
When Mirza Ghulam Ahmad- the Promised Messiah or Second Coming died in 1908; his spiritual Caliphs suceeded him:
Hakim Nooruddin was the First Caliph of the Promised Messiah.
Mirza Mahmood Ahmad- the Second Caliph
Mirza Nasir Ahmad- the Third Caliph
Mirza Tahir Ahmad- the Fourth Caliph
Mirza Masroor Ahmad- the Fifth Caliph; who is our living Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim world-wide-community.
I'm confused... wasn't the Fifth Caliph selected on the TV show Pakistan's Got Talent?
And didnt he perform a live on stage 69 degree?
The election of the Fifth Caliph took place in London as the Fourth Caliph died there and is buried there.
Essence of the Ahmadiyya Khilafat
The Ahmadiyya Khilafat differs significantly from the misplaced
aspirations of some Muslim groups for political and militaristic dominance
over the entire world. The Ahmadiyya Khilafat is apolitical; spiritual and
religious in nature. Thus, the Ahmadis do believe in the concept of
“separation of the State and Church”. While respecting the will of the people
to adopt varying political systems that may suit them for beneficial
administration of their public affairs, it does not aspire for political authority.
Though the ideal Islamic state calls for the head of the government to
exercise both the secular and religious authority, the institution of Khilafat
can and should remain focused on moral and spiritual matters only,
providing necessary guidance to the political leaders to the maintenance of
justice and social harmony.

Shroud of Turin shows Jesus was alive when taken hurriedly to the tomb; he never died on the Cross in the first place.
"Monsignor Ghiberti:
what in particular motivated you to come and see the Shroud of Turin?
Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih V(aba):
We were previously unaware that the Shroud of Turin was being exhibited. It was by chance that this programme came about and the community informed us that the Shroud of Turin Exhibition would be taking place during these days. We are from that section of Muslims who believe that the Shroud of Turin was actually used for the Messiah, peace be upon him, although our views differ. According to us, Jesus(as) was a great, and appointed, Prophet of God. According to Jewish teachings, as crucifixion was something inappropriate for a Prophet, when the Jews put him on the cross, God saved Jesus(as) from crucifixion. And we believe the Founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community is the Promised Messiah of this age. He stated that the Messiah (i.e. Jesus(as)), was treated and Allah granted him life thereafter. This is why I was interested in seeing this Shroud."

Is it the shroud Jesus was wrapped in when he was laid in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea; a genuine one?
Absolutely no proof the shroud is real! Some think it was a practical joke by Da Vinci! It can only be dated back to the 16th century.
Yup...its too bad that the "shroud" is a fraud...
Will the lab holding the corroborating Jesus DNA samples please stand up?
