Scotland: Muslim murdered shopkeeper because he “disrespected the message of the Prophet Muhammad”

Jul 7, 2016 11:38 am By Robert Spencer

“​He said Mr Shah ‘claimed to be a prophet’ and that ‘if I had not done this others would.'” Indeed so, and in Brave New Multicultural Britain, many others will emulate this killer, and murder others whom they think have disrespected the Muslim prophet.

Asad Shah

“Asad Shah murder: Man admits killing Glasgow shopkeeper ‘because he disrespected Prophet Mohamed,'” by Lizzie Dearden and Caroline Mortimer, Independent, July 7, 2016:

A man has pleaded guilty to murdering a shopkeeper in Glasgow because he “disrespected the message of the Prophet Mohamed”.

Asad Shah, 40, was stabbed at his convenience store in the city’s Shawlands area on 24 March and died of his injuries.

The 32-year-old taxi driver released a statement through his lawyer, John Rafferty, in March confirming police suspicions that the killing was religiously motivated.

​He said Mr Shah “claimed to be a prophet” and that “if I had not done this others would”.

The statement said: “This all happened for one reason and no other issues and no other intentions.

“Asad Shah disrespected the messenger of Islam the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. Mr Shah claimed to be a Prophet.

“When 1400 years ago the Prophet of Islam Muhammad peace be upon him has clearly said that ‘I am the final messenger of Allah there is no more profits [sic] or messengers from God Allah after me.

“I am leaving you the final Quran. There is no changes. It is the final book of Allah and this is the final completion of Islam’.”

Mr Shah was from the minority Ahmadi Muslim sect and had moved from Pakistan to Glasgow in 1998.

The Ahmadi branch of Islam was founded in 1889, by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad in India.

Ahmadis revere him as a prophet – which other Muslims regard as heretical – and many have fled Pakistan after suffering persecution.

Mr Shah was discovered outside his shop on Minard Road with stab wounds and taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Hours before the attack, he had wished Christians a “very happy Easter” on Facebook but police do not believe this was the trigger for the attack….

    Following the Brexit, Scottish policies are huge right now for the native Scots. Hate to be political with the news of this man’s murder but they need to prevent violent crime not look the other way as the authorities usually do when regarding Jihadism. They best wake up too bad Scotland won’t leave the EU.

      common sense Regardless of what the power hungry dwarf Sturgeon may think Scotland as an inependant country within the EU is a non- starter, Spain would block .Evemn if the EU out of spite accepted Scotland , the bulk of Scottish trade is not with the EU it is with the UK ,

    Who’s been dead for almost 1400 years – assuming he even existed to begin with. Anyway, the implication here is that the message of muhammad says to kill those who disrespect it. This is the part where islamic apologists jump in to say “no, no, muhammad was a peaceful man who forgave those who insulted and disrespected him, just look at this quranic passage and this hadith”. To which I say Asma bin Marwan and Abu Afak – people who muhammad ordered to be killed for criticizing him.

    “he had wished Christians a “very happy Easter” on Facebook but police do not believe this was the trigger for the attack….”
    Police may need to reconsider.
    Islamic State, Turkey, and the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt have commanded muslims NOT to recognise Christian festivals or to give them any festival greeting. The Koran instructs muslims not to take Christians as allies or friends. The “excellent pattern” is “between us and you enmity and hatred forever” (60:4).
    Police need to read Robert Spencer.

    So if this man was only carrying out the ” prophet. muhammed ” commands to kill unbelievers and those who ridicule Islam etc, then logic should acquit this man and he should be honoured as a” righteous man” ! (Sarc)
    The above scenario happens all the time in the world’s Islamic CRAPISTANS! Scotland better wake up before the native Scots are exterminated

    Islam means clear retrogression of any human Civilisation.

    The Muhammed madmess continues.
    And will while there is a Qur’an.
    This whole religion thing needs some sort of proper looking at.
    There will be civil war if Islam madness continues.

    Muslims don’t believe that garbage.

    If they did, in every nation they reside, they would insure, there, they had mosque in which they could hear the preaching of the men of knowledge in Islam, and madrassa in which they could likewise insure that their offspring were reared on the same “sacred text” they were raised on.

    ‘Mohamad’ has left this criminal legacy to be followed rigidly by its criminal ‘believers’. The Islamic criminal systems are supported by the is!amic polity which is the core of the Islamism, sugercoated with a vague idea of spirituality . This passes as a ‘religion’ ,and for so long in history !!!!! Is it not strange enough in itself????
    There must be a definition worked out by now as to what comprises a ‘religion’ in the proper sense of the word.
    Islam will be discarded in that light of truth. No doubt about that.

    None of this was in any of our newspapers. No news about this.
    It is very frustrating to read news like this and then not finding any of it in the meanstraim media of the Netherlands. Lately – the last few weeks – I have been consulting German newspapers as well – der Spiegel, die Welt, etcetera. Although those newspapers now are becoming more and more critical about the welcoming culture in Germany for refugees, no news like this can be found there. But any killing in Afghanistan or any attack on religious grounds in Pakistan is reported there. Strange. I would think Glasgow is much nearer to us than Pakistan or Afghanistan. I wonder why, then, that reports like this are not in our media.

    There he is again, this man with the gentle face and soft eyes.

    I somehow cannot get him out of my mind

    After he was so brutally killed someone who knew him wrote on twitter: “Such a lovely, lovely man. He will be greatly missed”.

    Breaks your heart.

    “Hours before the attack, he had wished Christians a “very happy Easter” on Facebook but police do not believe this was the trigger for the attack….”

    In a mad world going proudly madder, it would be catastrophic for police to believe this might have been the trigger, even though the murderer’s own statement confirms it was religiously motivated.

    We have been and are being so badly betrayed by our own leaders and media that our collective defence is to accept it as normal. Future generations, probably the next or two at most, will scratch their heads in disbelief that the most advance civilisation in the history of the world so readily capitulated to the most evil, savage and backward.

    Not the trigger?? Last Easter, like this maniac, the Taliban demonstrated what Muslims think of Easter (and thus of Christianity) when they bombed a public park packed with families celebrating Easter in the Pakistani city of Lahore, killing at least 75 people and wounding more than 300 others, most of them women and children. Brutal monsters: every civilised country should bring back the death penalty for terrorrist murder.
