Muslim Shopkeeper Who Posted Easter Greetings Murdered by Fellow Muslim

Muslim Shopkeeper Posted Easter Greeting to ‘My Beloved’ Christians. Hours Later, Police Say He Was Murdered by a Fellow Muslim.

Police said that a Scottish Muslim shopkeeper was murdered by a fellow Muslim hours after he posted a message on Facebook professing love for Christians and for Jesus and wishing them a happy Easter.

Asad Shah, 40, died in the hospital in Glasgow after sustaining serious injuries in the Thursday attack that British media described as especially brutal.

A 32-year-old Muslim man was arrested Friday in connection to what police have called a “religiously prejudiced” attack.

Shah, a devout, Pakistani-born Muslim shopkeeper, earlier Thursday posted a message on Facebook which included: “Good Friday and a very Happy Easter, especially to my beloved Christian nation.”
