(Washington Post) Last month, after
being offended by a tweet, Tanweer Ahmed traveled 200 miles in an Uber
car from Bradford, in England, to Glasgow, in Scotland. The seemingly
innocuous, even heartfelt tweet was written by Asad Shah, and wished his
adopted countrymen a happy Easter.
Ahmed waited for 40-year-old Shah to leave the convenience store in Glasgow where he worked, then stabbed him 30 times, stamped on his head, and sat on his chest while Shah lay unconscious, authorities allege. Shah died of his wounds later that night.
The hatred that Ahmed, 32, apparently felt for Shah wasn’t because of his kind words about Christians, but because Shah was a member of the small and long-persecuted sect of Muslims called the Ahmadiyya.
This week, leaflets have been found in universities, mosques and shopping centers across London advocating that each Ahmadiyya be given three days to “get back into the Islamic fold. If he does not, he will be awarded capital punishment.”
