Sikh, Jewish and Christian representatives attend campaign launch following death of Glasgow shopkeeper Asad Shah

Ahmadi Muslims in Scotland have launched an anti-extremism campaign following the death of the Glasgow shopkeeper Asad Shah, despite the failure of other prominent Muslims to attend the event.

Representatives of the Glasgow Central Mosque and the Muslim Council of Scotland were invited to attend the launch alongside other faith groups, but the Guardian understands that both sent their apologies at the last minute.

..The Guardian has reported on how Ahmadis across the UK face shunning and discrimination by Muslims of Shia and Sunni faiths

Abid said: “We are not asking them to stand united in faith with us but to stand united against extremism. If Glasgow Central Mosque is against extremism, they should be here today.”

’ Scottish ‘ ‘ Muslim’ ....what a sad oxymoron

Muslims belong in the ME - NOT in Scotland

Mohammadans belong in hell, not on Earth.

I suspect that by and large, the average Muslim secretly supports terrorism, as evidenced by their apparent lack of concern for it.

but they are on earth ( some mistake of the fates?) and they are contaminating wherever they are spreading . ‘

why this curse ?

Failure to fight evil. Sadly, an epidemic in this era where evil is embraced as a high virtue (where it is labeled as “diversity” and “tolerance.”).

well, my opinion is that Moslems belong only in Mecca. Syria, Egypt etc should be returned to being Christian lands

Mohammedans deserve — like you and me -— to hear the Gospel, be converted, and enjoy life both in this world and in the world to come
