    Horrible crime in Glasgow on Thursday evening when a well loved Muslim shop keeper Asad Shah was stabbed to death by at least one other Muslim man. Mohammad Faisal, a family friend, said a bearded Muslim wearing a long religious robe entered Mr Shah’s shop and spoke to him in his native language before stabbing him in the head with a kitchen knife.

    Mr Shah had posted the Twitter message ‘Good Friday and a very happy Easter, especially to my beloved Christian nation’. Residents of Shawlands in Glasgow say he was well respected and had been known to hand out Christmas cards to neighbours despite being of a different faith.

    Hundreds have turned out in a vigil near the crime scene...

    A sign that what threatens them the most is people integrated into society and cross-faith respect and friendships.

    Shame on them and any who harbour them and others of their kind.

    Who says the Muslim faith is about love and peace

    It seems that fewer and fewer people try trotting out that line anymore.

    I read that article earlier today Cofty and found it really upsetting. He seemed such a well liked and friendly guy and ready to integrate into a community of all faiths and persuasions, he loved the country he was living in. These extremists just can't bear it, they want to spew their evil ideology over everyone and anyone not following their path deserves to be murdered. Sick!!

    Many of the recent Muslim atrocities have been perpetrated by individuals with criminal records.

    It would seem that the religion endorses vile behaviour if done in the interests of Allah. The disaffected, mentally ill and criminal can strike a heroic note in their little lives by outrageous acts of cruelty and murder if the religion sets a precedent for such actions. Blind faith encourages moral blindness as well.

    How tragic for this man's family.

    There is a struggle going on within the Glasgow mosque between traditionalists and reformers. It is one of the more regressive communities where women are not welcome and African muslims are treated like second class citizens.

    The murderer would be able to quote dozens of verses from the Koran to justify what he did.

    Probably the victim, who was of course a Muslim, and apparently very kindly mannered.

    More and more it seems, radical Islam is a religion of (Rest in) Peace.

    So who was the authentic Muslim in this incident, and who gets to say so?
