The news of the fatal attack on newsagent Asad Shah following his posting of an Easter message on social media is shocking. UK news outlets are providing comprehensive coverage.
Take a moment to think of the Shah family and their grief.
Australian newsagents are as ethnically diverse as our UK colleagues. Inside and outside our channel, sadly, prejudices can be seen. We ought to resist this and call out those who ignorantly attack based on ethnicity, religion or sexuality.
A 32yo man has been arrested in connection with this murder. It is being investigated as religiously prejudiced.

The community has raised a large sum of money to help, and show support for Asads family.
He was killed by fellow muslims, who killed him because he was of a minority muslim group and his outreach to other faiths offended them.
Don’t let the facts get in the way of a story racism
