Prime Minister backs anti-extremism campaign after shopkeeper death

BBC: Prime Minister David Cameron has given his full support to a campaign against extremism following the killing of a Muslim shopkeeper in Glasgow.

Asad Shah, 40, was stabbed last month. He was an Ahmadiyya, a group known for its peaceful interfaith concerns.

Murder accused Tanveer Ahmed, 32, from Bradford, later said he killed Mr Shah as he falsely claimed to be a prophet.

Mr Cameron said there was “a battle within Islam and we have to be on the side of the moderate majority”.

Following Mr Shah’s death, Scotland’s Ahmadiyya Muslim community launched a bus poster campaign in Glasgow with the message “united against extremism”.
