In accordance to their prophet Muhammad’s command: “Whoever changes his religion, kill him.” “Somalia: Christian in Kenya refugee camp attacked, shot,” from Compass Direct News, December 10 :
Muslim zealots jail convert, burn home of another; in Somalia, a mother and daughter raped.
DADAAB, Kenya, December 10 (Compass Direct News) — A Somali Christian put in a refugee camp police cell here for defending his family against Islamic zealots has been released after Christians helped raise the 20,000 Kenya shilling fine (US$266) that a camp “court” demanded for his conversion dishonoring Islam and its prophet, Muhammad.
But for Salat Sekondo Mberwa of Mogadishu, the war-torn capital of Somalia, this was not the highest price he has had to pay for leaving Islam. On Oct. 13, five Muslim youths knocked on Mberwa’s sheet-iron gate in the refugee camp, one of three that is home to 572,000 refugees from Somalia, Ethiopia and Sudan in this northeastern Kenya town.
“They were shouting and calling me names, saying I was the enemy of the Islamic religion, and that I would pay the ultimate price for propagating a different religion,” Mberwa said. “They threatened to kill me if I did not open the door for them.” He and his son managed to fight them off, for which he was jailed. After his release, as he was resting at home on Nov. 26, Islamists in the camp returned, shot him in the shoulder and left him for dead.
