You ain’t no Muslim, bruv

Remember the much ballyhooed Leytonstone Koranic expert, who shouted at a suspected terrorist during a stabbing at a tube station “You ain’t no Muslim, bruv”? Because no true Muslim would kill anyone in the name of Allah, would they? From The Telegraph:

A popular shopkeeper was stabbed to death by another Muslim in a “religiously prejudiced” attack hours after posting an Easter message on Facebook to “my beloved Christian nation”.

Asad Shah, 40, a devout Muslim originally from the Pakistani city of Rabwah, had his head stamped on during a savage attack, according to one eyewitness.

Around four hours earlier the victim wrote online: “Good Friday and a very Happy Easter, especially to my beloved Christian nation.

“Let’s follow the real footstep of beloved holy Jesus Christ and get the real success in both worlds.”

In previous posts, he also called “unconditional real love for all mankind”.

A police incident unit is stationed near the murder scene, while a body tent is visible.

Resident Isabella Graham, 64, said Mr Shah had previously employed her daughter at the shop. She said: “He was an amazing, wonderful man, he couldn’t do enough for you. He wouldn’t hurt anybody. Nobody in Shawlands would have a bad word to say about him. I can’t believe he’s gone.”

Wonderful he may have been, wishing his “beloved Christian nation well”, but he weren’t no Muslim, bruv. His killer, on the other hand, certainly was.  David Wood explains, in another context (h/t Gates of Vienna):

 

Update: Esmerelda got there first.
