Asad Shah was found with fatal injuries outside his shop
Vile Islamic fanatics have praised the brutal killing of a shopkeeper. Asad Shah died after being found with serious injuries outside his store in Scotland last month. Now an extremist website has published an story congratulating Asad’s alleged murderer , Tanveer Ahmed, for sending 'another blasphemer to hell'.
A Facebook page has also been set up to pay tribute to Ahmed, who
claimed this week that he killed Asad to protect the honour of Islam,
reports the Daily Record .
Ahmed appeared in court on Wednesday and remains in custody. Mainstream Muslim groups have condemned the attack. Asad, 40, was attacked on March 24 outside his shop in Glasgow.
He was a member of the minority Ahmadiyya Muslim community and was much-loved by his neighbours.
Tanveer Ahmed has confessed to the killing of Glasgow shopkeeper Asad Shah
Ahmed,
a 32-year-old taxi driver from Bradford, issued a statement through his
lawyer on Wednesday claiming that Asad had “claimed to be a prophet”
and disrespected the Prophet Muhammad.
And the extremist Haq Baat website has hailed the alleged killer as a hero. They wrote that he had “killed liar Asad Qadiani and send him to hell who claimed to be a prophet”.
“Qadiani” is a reference to the Ahmadiyya community, founded in the town of Qadian in the Punjab.
Asad was killed after wishing his Christian friends a happy Easter.
Ahmed wrote in his statement that the attack had nothing to do with Christianity.
But Haq Baat wrote: “Asad Qadiani also used to accept and declare non-Islamic beliefs of Christians to be right. "That is why British establishment gave him high protocol.” The site said of Tanveer: “He is arrested at the moment. May Allah protect him.”
The Facebook tribute page to Ahmed also describes Asad as a liar – and features a picture of him with a red cross over his face.
Ahmed has appeared twice in court in connection with Asad’s death. He has made no plea. After his second appearance, he had his lawyer John Rafferty read a statement to reporters explaining his actions.
It said: “Asad Shah disrespected the messenger of Islam the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.”
The vast majority of Muslims were horrified by the attack on Asad. The British Muslim Forum said: “There is no justification for murder in Islam. "Islam promotes peace, tolerance and pluralism.
“No
matter how much one may disagree with the views of others, Islam does
not allow an individual to take the law into his own hands.British Muslims must follow the laws of Britain, as its citizens.”
Ahmadiyya Muslim leaders in Glasgow described Ahmed’s justification for the killing as “deeply disturbing”.
They
added: “It justifies the killing of anyone – Muslim or non-Muslim –
whom an extremist considers to have shown disrespect to Islam.
“In
some countries, Ahmadiyya Muslim members, Christians and people of
other faiths are routinely attacked and murdered by extremists for
accusations of blasphemy.
“Such killings are completely against the teachings of Islam.”
Police Scotland said the posts praising Ahmed had been “passed to the appropriate department for investigation”.- Mirror
