Asad Shah
The murder of Asad Shah was the religiously motivated murder of an Ahmadiyya Muslim shopkeeper, in the Scottish city of Glasgow on 24 March 2016. The murderer, a Sunni Muslim, Tanveer Ahmed, had driven from the English city of Bradford with the intent of confronting Shah about his claim to be a prophet. Shah had allegedly issued YouTube videos in which he claimed the status of a prophet. Mainstream Islam's belief being that Muhammad is considered as the last prophet, Ahmed regarded Shah's claims to be blasphemous. Some Muslims and mosques in the UK praised his action. Ahmed was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 27 years.
