A Muslim taxi driver who killed a popular Glasgow

:00:00.:00:28.

shopkeeper after claiming he had disrespected the prophet Muhammad

:00:29.:00:30.

Tanveer Ahmed confronted travelled from Bradford before confronting

:00:31.:00:34.

Sentencing Ahmed to a minimum of 27 years, the judge described it

:00:35.:00:38.

as a brutal, barbaric and horrific crime for which he had

:00:39.:00:40.

Tanveer Ahmed berating Asad Shah after driving to his shop

:00:41.:00:47.

But that night in March, Ahmed had arrived from Bradford

:00:48.:00:51.

intending to mete out much more than criticism.

:00:52.:00:58.

After this verbal attack he released an onslaught of what the judge

:00:59.:01:05.

Asad Shah, this well-liked, friendly shopkeeper, died in

:01:06.:01:08.

It was videos like this, posted online, that had

:01:09.:01:12.

He believed Mr Shah was disrespecting

:01:13.:01:14.

Ahmed was so deeply offended that he decided he had to kill him.

:01:15.:01:20.

A crime, the judge noted today as she addressed Ahmed, that he has

:01:21.:01:23.

It is clear that you are proud of what you did.

:01:24.:01:33.

And you do not consider what you did was wrong.

:01:34.:01:36.

What is particularly disturbing from some of your latest comments

:01:37.:01:38.

to the social worker who prepared the court report,

:01:39.:01:40.

is the fact that if met with similar circumstances in the future

:01:41.:01:44.

You seem oblivious to the fact you have devastated a family,

:01:45.:01:52.

the family of Mr Shah, leaving them bereft of a much-loved

:01:53.:01:57.

Immediately after the judge sentenced Ahmed to life

:01:58.:02:03.

with a minimum of 27 years, he raised his arm and shouted

:02:04.:02:06.

Members of Ahmed's family and community in Bradford,

:02:07.:02:13.

mostly left the court without comment, but this man

:02:14.:02:15.

He is respecting his prophet, what is wrong with that?

:02:16.:02:31.

Do you think the sentence was fair? No.

:02:32.:02:33.

There is no doubt that the barbaric murder of Asad Shah

:02:34.:02:36.

But the judge has accepted that it wasn't motivated by a grudge

:02:37.:02:43.

against the Muslim community, of which Mr Shah was a member.

:02:44.:02:47.

Instead, this was a specific attack on Mr Shah because Tanveer Ahmed

:02:48.:02:52.

believed that he had disrespected Islam.

:02:53.:02:56.

The judge's comments that there is no place for such

:02:57.:03:05.

intolerance echoed today by the community.

:03:06.:03:10.

He shouldn't be shown any kind of love.

:03:11.:03:12.

Where there is no remorse, where there is no regrets,

:03:13.:03:14.

then Islam says strongly that such a person should be given a proper

:03:15.:03:17.

sentence and that is what has been served.

:03:18.:03:19.

In the Shawlands area Mr Shah has been much missed by his customers

:03:20.:03:22.

who throughout the years he served with cheer and grace.

:03:23.:03:30.

The impromptu vigil after his death showed their sadness.

:03:31.:03:34.

His family's grief is such that they cannot bear to reopen

:03:35.:03:36.
