[Excerpts]
High profile Scots Muslims have spoken of the racist abuse they and their friends and families have suffered in the wake of the terror attacks across Europe this summer.

Ahmed Owusu-Konadu, a spokesman for the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Scotland - which was the target of an extremist attack when Tanveer Ahmed murdered Glasgow shopkeeper Asad Shah in March – said atrocities on the continent can “feed mistrust and seek to divide communities”.
However, he added: “The reaction of local communities in Glasgow when a member of our community was murdered shows that Scotland has a strong bond and a resilient, caring nature.”
