“Quoting the Koran, Tanveer Ahmed said in a statement issued through his lawyer that he killed the shopkeeper because he claimed to be a prophet, not because of his conciliatory attitude towards Christians, as had been suggested.” Claiming to be a prophet is a death-penalty offense in Islamic law.
“Muslim admits killing Glasgow shopkeeper,” by Marc Horne, The Times, April 7, 2016:
A man accused of murdering a Muslim shopkeeper in Glasgow admitted last night that he had killed him.
Quoting the Koran, Tanveer Ahmed said in a statement issued through his lawyer that he killed the shopkeeper because he claimed to be a prophet, not because of his conciliatory attitude towards Christians, as had been suggested.
Asad Shah, 40, was killed after posting an Easter message to Christians on Facebook.
The statement was issued by John Rafferty, Mr Ahmed’s lawyer, after his client appeared at Glasgow sheriff court yesterday charged with murder….

No Fear says
and they are letting people like this into the UK !
chashdan says
letting people like this into the UK, well sure, for long time, no go zones,
BUT millions into Merkel’s Germany. She certainly excels in insanity or lobotomy or being a puppet, Only time will tell. In any case, Germany is finished, and most likely so is the UK. and Sweden and France and Belgium.
With a chorus of gratitude from the Pope (sic) and Osheesh,
Stephen says
The Blind leads the Blinds just like Mohamed was blinded to lead all the blind followers till today.
The Bull says
Phew! That’s OK then. He thought he was a Prophet! Wouldn’t it be terrible if he was killed for actually wishing Christians a Happy Easter. Now that would be scary!
Stephen says
Mohamed was a LUST False prophet whom Allah was wanted him to be killed with poison by his own wife that mentioned in the Koran.
Shame shame Shame ….. All the Liars
CTL says
They cannot have a prophet that is going to be peaceful non violent and loving I guess.?
wallace says
CTL You indeed guess right , take a look at this You Tube video , very telling is the Muslim mindset in the comments section.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFvTQBcknXI&nohtml5=False
Andy says
Muslims are required to kill other Muslims by their god because their god states that there is only ONE prophet in Islam. If anybody claims to be a prophet he has to be killed and the best part is that the killer gets rewarded with 72 virgins and rivers of wine in the Islamic (Muslim) paradise. So we can see why a Muslim would want to kill another Muslim. Muslims have no chance of getting into paradise because of their PIETY and Good works, On judgment day allah is going to put each Muslim on a balance and if the sins are heavier than the good deeds done then he/she goes to hell. Now this pending verdict puts great fear into Muslims because every Muslim knows that their bad is heavier than the good. That means sure hell-fire. The only way out is to kill a Jew/Christian or a Muslim who has DISGRACED prophet Mohammed or allah.
Stephen says
Allah Never mentioned itself as god to Mohamed as Allah Only Worship Me that mentioned in the Quran.
Allah was Never showed its Love to All mankind at all.
Instead Allah showed Hatred to all mankind including Muslims by killing one another till no more.

Clearly this man already believes Scottish law has been subjugated sharia law. I hope the court recognises this by ignoring his rantings. and imposing the full force of Scottish law from where he will enter the prison system where he can join the Islamic gangs and work to proselytise other inmates.
Stephen says
Mohamed did not follow God’s 10 commandments during his times at all which Allah had given to moses.
Sharia laws are not God’s laws but muslims laws. These sharia laws are different from different groups of Muslims in different countries which suite their country’s ppl.
Muslims Do Not accept Democracy. Mohammed was an illiterate man that mentioned in the Koran but hadiths was mentioned Mohamed was literate.
All Muslims are taught to lie all infidels including Muslims n ex-muslims.
Wiser Monkeys says
But note that there’s an SNP MP, Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh, who specialized in Sharia law practice in Scotland. She has said, so modestly:
“I’m a perfectly confident individual, confident in my profession, confident in my religion and I don’t feel that for my own experience that Sharia is discriminatory towards me in any way.”
The Scottish law firm she is still a shareholder in continues to offer Sharia services.
The SNP Scottish government says it has “no intention” of banning Sharia practice, and has commented:
“[N]othing prevents people abiding by Shari’a principles if they wish, provided their actions do not conflict with Scots law. Voluntary agreement by both parties to seek help from Shari’a arbitration services in such things as family disputes is not prohibited.”

Wiser Monkeys , The lovely Tasmina is my local MP i’m sorry to say .She gives me the creeps. I have been following her from her pupal stage, to her finding her wings with the SMP. I hope like a moth she flies to close to the flame. The arrogance of the political Muslim can often be their undoing. If i was the 1st Krankie i would be watching my back. I think i would fall on my claymore if we got a Muslim 1st Minister, i am still recovering from the image of Humza posing in Islamic Tartan .
Custos Custodum says
The perp was obviously a dimwit pansy sent by higher-ups. As a resident of Bradford (in England), he was probably only dimly aware that Scots law is different from English law.
Scots a but both are merely “man-made” laws made by the filthy “kufar” and of no relevance to superior Muslims.
salim says
The victim was killed because he was an Ahmadi Muslim, who are considered as heretics and deserve to be killed anyway.
When Islam is implemented, heretics (like ahmadi, Baha’i, Yazidi, Alawai, Shia, Qadiani ..) all become threatened with extinction.
The greatest ever Arab poet, Al Mutanabi, claimed he was a prophet but was not killed for that reasons because the society and governments at the time were not strictly islamic. Al Mutanabi ( = Arabic for the man who claims to be a prophet) changed his mind in later years and became a close friend to the rulers in Egypt and Syria.
Custos Custodum says
That’s what the perp and his lawyers want you to believe. You are correct, of course, in saying that Pakistani Ahmadis in general are commonly persecuted by Pakistani Sunnis, but that was certainly not the motivating factor IN THIS CASE.
Asad Shah was murdered for one reason, and one reason only: because he dared wish “infidels” a “Happy Easter.” His pleasantly implicitly recognizes a religion other than Islam and must thus be punished by death.
Custos Custodum says
His *pleasantry
ECAW says
I suspect there is some confusion here about what the murderer actually said. Did the victim claim to be a prophet or was it more likely that he, like all ahmadis, regard their founder as a prophet?
Custos Custodum says
The confusion is intentional, probably cooked up by the perp’s backers and lawyers. See my other posts on this page.
wallace says
Check this Youtube video out, have a scroll through the comment section. Mr Shah was a dead man walking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFvTQBcknXI&nohtml5=False
Singh the Sikh says
Ahmadis played a big part in the partition of India and formation of Pakistan. The irony is that Ahmadis would be safer in India today than in Pakistan. But do not expect any gratitude. They would still root for Pakistan over India. That’s how screwed up Islam is; totally warped mentality. Ahmadhis make a great pretense of being secular but scratch the surface and the truth emerges.
As for Scotland, congratulations, you have created a mini Pakistan in your own country. Well done. Now sit back and enjoy since this latest killing is but a small indication of the madness that in in store for you as Muslim numbers increase.
You reap what you sow.
Angemon says
Phew! That makes everything right, right? RIGHT?!?!?!
wallace says
Angemon, Issuing a statement like this so early in the proceedings is an unusual step. I suspect the following could be the reason. This guy is from Bradford , Scottish prison’s don’t have the same volume of Muslim inmates as they do in England, this makes him more at risk of attack by fellow inmates, Barlinnie prison is a tough jail. By stating that what he done was nothing to do with Christianity and expressing his love of Jesus, is he hoping this will placate the non-muslim element in the jail, the Muslim’s that are in there will no doubt be of the Sunni flavour, he will be viewed as a hero by that quarter.
Angemon says
Hmmm, good point, wallace.
R Russell says
I’m sure you know that there are several prisons in England which have been taken over by Muslims. I thought you might find this interesting in relation to Scotland.

NO EVIDENCE………
33: 40. Muhammad (SAW) is not the father of any man among you, but he is the Messenger of Allâh and the last (end) of the Prophets. And Allâh is Ever All¬Aware of everything.
62: 3. And He has sent him (Prophet Muhammad SAW) also to others among them (Muslims) who have not yet joined them (but they will come). And He (Allâh) is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.
Muslim :: Book 30 : Hadith 5673 , 5674, 5677,5810 ,5811,5812 ,5813
Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The similitude of mine and that of the Apostles (before me) is that of a person who constructed a building and he built it fine and well and the people went round it saying: Never have we seen a building more imposing than this. but for one brick, and I am that brick (with which you give the finishing touch to the building).
Jubair b. Mut’im reported on the authority of his father that he heard Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: I am Muhammad and I am Ahmad, and I am al-Mahi (the obliterator) by whom unbelief would be obliterated, and I am Hashir (the gatherer) at whose feet mankind will be gathered, and I am ‘Aqib (the last to come) after whom there will be no Prophet.

DEATH ORDERED FOR THREE:
Bukhari :: Book 9 :: Volume 83 :: Hadith 37
“By Allah, Allah’s Apostle never killed anyone except in one of the following three situations: (1) A person who killed somebody unjustly, was killed (in Qisas,) (2) a married person who committed illegal sexual intercourse and(3) a man who fought against Allah and His Apostle and deserted Islam and became an apostate.”
Bukhari :: Book 6 :: Volume 60 :: Hadith 134

BLINDLY KILLING HUMAN ARE THE CHARACTER OF THESE PEOPLE:
Let us look at Deuteronomy 13:6-9 “If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you love, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying: Let us go and worship other gods (gods that neither you nor your fathers have known, gods of the peoples around you, whether near or far, from one end of the land to the other, or gods of other religions), do not yield to him or listen to him. Show him no pity. Do not spare him or shield him. You must certainly put him to death. Your hand must be the first in putting him to death, and then the hands of all the people.”
Also let us look at Deuteronomy 17:3-5 “And he should go and worship other gods and bow down to them or to the sun or the moon or all the army of the heavens, …..and you must stone such one with stones and such one must die.”
This verse was sent to me by Yusif 65; may Allah Almighty always be pleased with him: 2 Chronicles 15:13 “All who would not seek the LORD, the God of Israel, were to be put to death, whether small or great, man or woman.”
50% OF WESTERN CHRISTIANS ARE TODAY NON BELIEVER,THEY DESERVE DEATH ACCORDING TO LAW.
“Do not think that I [Jesus] have come to abolish the Law (the Old Testament) or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke or a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law (the Old Testament) until everything is accomplished. (Matthew 5:17-18)”
“Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: ‘The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So you must obey them and do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.’ (Matthew 23:1-3)”

Robin Russell says
Mercy triumphs over judgement. Why not write some good news – The law is our tutor to bring us to Christ. In Him we become the righteousness of God in Christ. Christians cannot keep the Law. We depend on Jesus’ sacrifice in our stead and on our behalf. If Christians with the indwelling Holy Spirit are unable to keep the Law, how do you expect non-Christians to keep it? Let them know they are loved. Jesus thought they were worth dying for. Pointing out their faults is unlikely to draw them to Jesus. Telling them how much He loves them, just might.
Angemon says
Hey, look, it’s that time of the month again: sham’s shameless tu-quoquery.
“WHERE IS THE EVIDENCE FOR THE CLAIMS????????????
NO EVIDENCE………”
And then you provide the evidence. Good going, sham!
“BLINDLY KILLING HUMAN ARE THE CHARACTER OF THESE PEOPLE:
Let us look at Deuteronomy 13:6-9 “If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you love, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying: Let us go and worship other gods (gods that neither you nor your fathers have known, gods of the peoples around you, whether near or far, from one end of the land to the other, or gods of other religions), do not yield to him or listen to him.

Do you know what people who worshipped other gods back then did? Human sacrifice, sodomy, incest, paedophilia, and bestiality. Are you OK with all that? Well, you’re a muslim, so you must be ok with paedophilia, seeing how muhammad married a six-year-old child and consummated the marriage when she was 9. And probably with bestiality as well, if you’re a shia. The sodomy goes without saying – just look, for example, at the muslim who raped a young boy (thus intersecting paedophilia) and claimed it was a “sexual emergency”. And cousin marriages are endemic in muslim nations, so incest is probably right up your alley. Oh, and as quran 62:6 says, “Say (O Muhammad): O ye who are Jews! If ye claim that ye are favoured of Allah apart from (all) mankind, then long for death if ye are truthful” – what is that if not human sacrifice?
Anyway, how does that relate to a muslim in the UK using the quran to justify murder?
“Matthew 15:4 For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother ””””must be put to death.”””””
Exodus 21:17
17 Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.”
Again, do you know how things were back when the Bible was written? Look up “euthanasia” and figure out what people were doing to their parents when they became old and couldn’t work the land. Anyway, how does that relate to a muslim in the UK using the quran to justify murder?
“Romans 1:20-32 (from the New Testament)”
Be truthful sham, it’s not 1:20-32. It’s a fraction of 1:23, 1:25 and 1:32. 1:21, 22, part of 1:23, 1:24, 1:26, 1:27, 1:28, 1:29, 1:30 and 1:31
Anyway, how does that relate to a muslim in the UK using the quran to justify murder?
“Exodus 22:19
19 Anyone who has sexual relations with an animal must be put to death.
20% DESERVE DEATH”
Citation needed. Also, how large is that figure in muslim-majority countries?
wallace says
I wonder if this will be accepted as a legitimate defence? the way things are going over here it would not surprise me.
BC says
Muslims just never get it. Murder is murder whatever the ‘reason’, whether it says it in the Quran or not, or if it is an ‘honour killing’. It is still murder and no amount of special pleading will get you off.
Unfortunately the brain of a Muslim is in the ‘holy’ book, he/she cannot reason as that would be un Islamic
Custos Custodum says
Classic MISDIRECTION – obviously, Asad Shah was murdered because he dared wish infidels a “Happy Easter,” not for any other reason.
Even in post-Christian Britain, murdering a man for wishing others “Happy Easter” is still considered, uh, unfashionable, so the perp was advised by his lawyers to argue the “heresy” angle instead. The advantage is that the PERPETRATOR can claim to have been hurt in HIS religious feelings, thus moving the focus away from his VICTIM.
Asad Shah was coincidentally an Ahmadi Muslim (and thus a heretic to Pakistani Sunnis), but he was clearly not the kind of person to discuss Ahmadi doctrine with his Christian customers (or with anyone).
Asad Shah would certainly never have claimed to be a prophet himself, but Sunnis object to the founder of the Ahmadi sect calling himself a prophet.
The perp – who drove some 200 miles in his Uber car to commit the murder – most likely volunteered for this mission planned and organized by higher-ups at his mosque. The leaders will, of course, not be prosecuted because they arranged to have a “buffer.”

Marcel Bérubé says
Islam is an ideology . In an ideology, there is always someone purer than the pu-
rest . The one who can prove is the purest of them all win the cup . So in an ideology ,
there is always a compettion among the fidels. Since there is a competition , there is a
war. within the ideology .
Every word that end by ism is an ideology . An ideology is a try to explain
the whole world around us . An ideology is llike a bottle . Ideologists try to explain the
whole world and so try to put everything in the bottle. But there has never been a bottle in
which all the world goes in. Ideologists, then ,has to left something or someones aside and
this is then the beginning of his fall.
Curent ideologies are: feminism, LGBT Movement ,racism, communism,
catholicism, judaism, islamism, ecologism etc…..
Life is greater than a bottle .
Marcel Bérubé says
Peace , love and tolerance seems to have limits in Islam since that man was killed.
He is a true martyr , for once.
