I posted last month about the Scots Muslim shopkeeper who was murdered on the sidewalk near his store by another Muslim.
Asad Shah was murdered because he had posted this image on his Facebook page:
Now the killer is in custody. Why did he murder Shah?
Uber driver Tanveer Ahmed, 32, is accused of carrying out the murder in the Shawlands area of the city after driving from his Bradford home.
And Ahmed — a Sunni Muslim — released the shock statement through his solicitor on Wednesday in which he appeared to admit the murder.
It read: "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."
But don't worry! He is a tolerant killer!
"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."Well, that's a relief.
