In this study, a discourse analysis is performed on the discourse among Muslims in Sweden about the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, its founder and its adherents. Previous research shows that globally, Muslims of all denominations, both Sunni and Shia, consider followers of Ahmadiyya to be non-Muslim. This study shows that the anti-Ahmadiyya discourse is also present amongst Muslims in Sweden, and examines the different types of discourse strategies that are applied. Ahmadiyya played an important role in introducing Islam in Sweden. However, there is a lack of academic research regarding its relationship with other denominations of Islam, even though many researchers have previously referred to it whenever the movement comes under discussion.
