Popular Muslim stabbed to death hours after wishing Christians ‘Happy Easter’ on Facebook (UK) [View all]

Source: Metro

A popular Muslim shopkeeper was stabbed to death hours after wishing ‘a very happy Easter to my beloved Christian nation’ on social media.

A silent vigil will be held at 9pm tonight in tribute to peaceful Asad Shah, who was murdered outside his Glasgow newsagents last night.

The shocking attack outside his shop on Minard Road in Shawlands came just hours after Mr Shah, 40, posted heartfelt Easter wishes to the Christian community on Facebook.

His last post read:

Good Friday and a very Happy Easter, especially to my beloved Christian nation.

Let’s follow the real footstep of beloved holy Jesus Christ and get the real success in both worlds.
