| Asad Shah |
Tanveer Ahmed, a taxi driver has admitted murdering a shopkeeper
, Asad Shah, for disrespecting the Prophet Muhammad'. Ahmed, 32, issued a statement in which he claimed he had killed Asad Shah at his
newsagent's in Glasgow because
he claimed to be the Prophet. The Daily Record reports that Ahmed, of Bradford, West
Yorkshire, denied it had anything to do with Christianity or any other
religion. This highly unusual statement was made through his lawyer, John
Rafferty, after Ahmed's second appearance at court before sheriff Brian Adair. Ahmed made no plea during private court appearance, charged with
Mr Shah's murder. He was remanded in custody and is expected to appear at
the High Court at a later date.
The statement given is: "My client, Mr Tanveer Ahmed
has specifically instructed me that today, 6 April 2016, to issue this
statement to the press, the statement is in the words of my client. "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 1,400 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 prophets or messengers from God Allah
after me."
"I am leaving you the final Quran," he continued. "There is no
changes. "It is the final book of Allah and this is the final
completion of Islam. There is no more changes to it and no one has the
right to claim to be a Prophet or to change the Quran or change Islam.
"It is mentioned in the Quran that there is no doubt in
this book no one has the right to disrespect the sayings of the Prophet
Muhammad peace be upon him and no one has the right to disrespect the Prophet
of Islam Muhammad Peace be upon him. "If I had not done this, others would and there would have
been more killing and violence in the world.
"I wish to make it clear that the incident was nothing at
all to do with Christianity or any other religious beliefs even although I am a
follower of the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him I also love and respect
Jesus Christ."
Mr Shah, 40, was found with serious injuries outside his shop on
the evening of March 24, after being allegedly attacked outside his shop, Shah's
Newsagents and Convenience Store in Minard Road, Shawlands, Glasgow.
He was rushed to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital where
he was pronounced dead on arrival. The savage killing happened just four
hours he wished a happy Easter to friends and neighbours in “my beloved
Christian nation”.
A silent vigil was held outside his shop attended by hundreds of
people including First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon.
A fundraising page on GoFundMe has raised more than £110, 000
for Mr Shah's family.
