Uganda: Convert from Islam who fled beating by Muslim uncle mysteriously dies

Mar 16, 2015 6:37 pm By Robert Spencer

Iganga Hospital“We suspect that the death of our sister Aisha could be related to the medication given the morning of Sunday, which has connection with the arrival of the Muslim relatives on Saturday.”

Why would there be such a connection? Muhammad said: “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him” (Bukhari 9.84.57). The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law according to all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence. This is still the position of all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence, both Sunni and Shi’ite. Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the most renowned and prominent Muslim cleric in the world, has stated: “The Muslim jurists are unanimous that apostates must be punished, yet they differ as to determining the kind of punishment to be inflicted upon them. The majority of them, including the four main schools of jurisprudence (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi`i, and Hanbali) as well as the other four schools of jurisprudence (the four Shiite schools of Az-Zaidiyyah, Al-Ithna-`ashriyyah, Al-Ja`fariyyah, and Az-Zaheriyyah) agree that apostates must be executed.” There is only disagreement over whether the law applies only to men, or to women also – some authorities hold that apostate women should not be killed, but only imprisoned in their houses until death.

“Christian Girl in Uganda Who Fled Beating by Muslim Uncle Mysteriously Dies,” Morning Star News, March 12, 2015:

NAIROBI, Kenya, March 12, 2015 (Morning Star News) – A 16-year-old girl in Uganda who fled from a Muslim uncle who beat her for becoming a Christian mysteriously died on Sunday (March 8) after relatives searching for her discovered her whereabouts the previous day.

Namwase Aisha died at 5:30 p.m. at Iganga Hospital in eastern Uganda, where she had been recovering from malaria after being admitted on March 2. Sources said a doctor had also determined she needed further treatment for a head injury suffered on Feb. 1, when her uncle beat her and her sister with a wooden rod and locked them in a room for nearly three days without food.

“On Saturday [March 7], Muslim relatives discovered her location and visited the hospital after tracing her whereabouts for some weeks,” an area source told Morning Star News. “Aisha then was responding very well to the medication, but on Sunday morning, after receiving morning medication, she became restless, and we wondered what could have happened to her.”

Her condition continued to deteriorate until her death, said a pastor caring for her.

“We suspect that the death of our sister Aisha could be related to the medication given the morning of Sunday, which has connection with the arrival of the Muslim relatives on Saturday,” said the area source, who like the pastor cannot have their names published for security reasons.

Hospital personnel first told church leaders that Aisha died from an overdose of medication, sources said. Later they told the church leaders that she died from heart failure resulting from a kind of depression that could be related to the injuries she had suffered, the sources said.

A doctor who would not disclose his name told Morning Star News he was uncertain about the cause of death.

“We cannot rule out an overdose of medication because of the swelling of Aisha’s body, which could have led to heart failure,” he said. “When the girl was admitted to the hospital she, looked traumatized.”

Church leaders considered filing a case against the hospital but felt it would lead to more friction with Muslims, they said….

    It is safe to assume that her uncle does not have a Coexist bumper sticker on his car.

    An autopsy would be conclusive. This poor girl was tortured and poisoned. It’s an honor killing which is allowed under Sharia law.

      the hospital staff wouldn’t have done the deed so as to retain the “honor.” check the moneybelt of the first wife, sister to the uncle

    “Church leaders considered filing a case against the hospital but felt it would lead to more friction with Muslims, they said….”
    Because it would be unduly provocarive to not let Muslims get away with murder?
    Come on, Ugandans…you can do better than that!

      Yes, especially as in Uganda the non-Muslims – mostly at least nominally Christian, and often much more active and upfront about their faith than the average Aussie Christian – are the majority, and a pretty big majority, at that.

      What they *should* be doing is quietly finding out how many Muslims work in that hospital, at every level from janitor/ floor cleaner on up to staff and administration. Because if there are muslims burrowed into the fabric of the hospital, then *any* one of those Muslims could have chosen – or been persuaded by the Muslim family – to do away with the apostate-from-Islam patient.

      Muslims in health care, *anywhere* that they have access to non-Muslim patients – whether those patients be people who have always been non-Muslim, or whether those patients be ex-Muslims – represent Danger. Placing the lives of Infidels and Apostates in Muslim hands – whether in a hospital, or in the transport industry, or the food industry, or the military, or the police – is just a deadly-dangerous game of “Muslim roulette”. And that is the awful truth. I do wonder just how many Muslim nurses and doctors and pharmacists, going about their rounds in non-Muslim hospitals in Australia and elsewhere, are harbouring hatred in their hearts, and finding small, subtle, neaky, nasty ways to compromise the health and safety of their infidel patients? There are just soo many ways they could do it without necessarily getting caught at it.

    Uganda: Convert from Islam who fled beating by Muslim uncle mysteriously dies
    ……………………………….

    As I noted, probably not really all that “mysterious”…

    More:

    There is only disagreement over whether the law applies only to men, or to women also – some authorities hold that apostate women should not be killed, but only imprisoned in their houses until death.
    ……………………………….

    With all respect to Robert Spencer, I don’t believe this injunction is all that different for that . I really doubt this means “make sure they are well fed for the next seventy years or so”. I think in most cases it means *starve them to death*.

    This is not just conjecture—we have seen this many times. In fact, it sounds as though Namwase Aisha’s uncle tried to do just that to her:

    “…her uncle beat her and her sister with a wooden rod and locked them in a room for nearly three days without food.”

    Then there is this appalling case, from the same country:

    “Uganda: Father tortures daughter for converting from Islam to Christianity”

    http://www.jihadwatch.org/2011/08/uganda-father-tortures-daughter-for-converting-from-islam-to-christianity

    This girl did survive—but only because her younger brother sneaked her food and water when he could. But she was starved *for six months*, and was so weak when she was found that she could not walk.

    ……………………………….

    Most hospitals assume that a patient will be happy to see their relatives, who mostly wish them a speedy recovery. Not so here…

    More:

    Church leaders considered filing a case against the hospital but felt it would lead to more friction with Muslims, they said….
    ……………………………….

    Just let *that* sink in. It is not just her uncle, or even her family—church leaders assume that the *entire Muslim “community”* will want to cover up this poor girl’s likely murder for apostasy, and I very much doubt that they are wrong.

    God, I hate Islam.

    I will pray for this poor young girl.

    My concern now is for her sister, was also beaten and starved. Does anyone know if she is safe?

      gravem.I believe this was the girl who got away after her sister had died. I think the family spoke up for he murderer and the police allowed him to go free. I could be mistaken, but I think the sister was dead when the pastor and other church members took this girl in to help her.

      I’ve noticed how often you say you hate islam….just think how much The True God must hate satan’s beast and what it does to His creation.

        That sounds right, somehistory. Thanks. I hope you are correct.

    Sadly, I am reminded of the old saying, “A profound coincidence takes a good deal of planning.”
