The man blamed of killing
British-Pakistani shopkeeper in Glasgow Asad Shah, has delivered a statement
saying he killed him because he believed Shah had insulted Islam.
Asad Shah was found outside
his store last month with serious wounds and was marked dead at the hospital.
Police labeled the killing as “religiously intolerant”.
Tanveer Ahmed (the
suspect) from Bradford, is accused of killing Shah outside his shop in Glasgow
almost a fortnight ago. In the statement he deprived of the incident had anything
to do with Christianity. Tanveer claimed that Asad Shah had insulted the
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
“Asad Shah insulted the
messenger of Islam the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Shah claimed to be a Prophet,”
the statement said. “If I had not done this, others would and there would have
been more killing and violence in the world,” Tanveer said.
“I wish to make it clear
that the incident was nothing at all to do with Christianity or any other
religious beliefs even I am a follower of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). I also
love and respect Jesus Christ,” he added.
The legal process against
Tanveer Ahmed, who is a Muslim and is being held in custody, will continue. The
date for his next court hearing has not yet been set.
