Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Uganda: Muslim in-laws poison mother of 11, convert from Islam to Christianity

Jun 23, 2015 7:06 pm By Robert Spencer

Uganda ChristiansMuhammad 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 Mother of 11 in Uganda Poisoned by Muslim In-Laws, Area Sources Say,” Morning Star News, June 23, 2015:

NAIROBI, Kenya (Morning Star News) – A mother of 11 who left Islam for Christianity was poisoned to death last week in a village in eastern Uganda, area sources said.

Namumbeiza Swabura, mother of a 5-month-old baby, died on Wednesday (June 17) in Nabuli village, Kibuku District, after her sister-in-law visited her and offered to prepare a light meal of cooked plantain called matoke for her, area sources said. Swabura and her husband, former sheikh (Islamic teacher) Mugoya Muhammad, put their faith in Christ in August 2014.

Her husband’s sister, Jafaran Wowa of Kanyolo village, visited her at 4 p.m. and after an hour prepared the dish, sources said. Wowa, who did not eat any of the dish, left soon after Swabura finished it, Muhammad learned.

Muhammad arrived soon after she finished eating to find his wife complaining of stomach pain. She told him the pain started immediately after eating the food that his sister had prepared for her, sources said.

Swabura’s pain grew worse as she began vomiting and her nose began to bleed uncontrollably; her face turned pale, and two hours later she died in their home as Muhammad was trying to rent a car to take her to a hospital, they said.

Her sister-in-law has gone into hiding, the sources said.

Swabura and her husband have received several death threats since putting their faith in Christ, according to Muhammad. During a visit by Morning Star News to the area in late May, he said, “We are fearing for our lives as the Muslims are threatening to kill us if we continue in Christianity.”

Besides her infant and husband, Swabura wife leaves behind 10 other children.

“We suspect that Muhammad’s sister, Jafaran Wowa, was given a lot of money to carry out the heinous act,” an area source said. “This was a deadly drug like rat poison or Bromethalin.”

Unable to bear the costs of pursuing legal recourse regarding Swabura’s death, Muhammad decided to bury her the next day, Thursday (June 18), sources said.

James Kalaja, pastor of the couple’s Muhammad New Hope Church in Nabuli, told Morning Star News by phone that the village has many Muslims hostile to Christians. After Muslims raped his daughter because of his role as a Christian leader, he recently moved his family to a safer village, he said….

      Jun 24, 2015 at 8:29 am

      Obama lives in an isolated ivory tower removed from the street. The ‘Islamophobia’ slander is meant to distract people from the urgent issues in Islam. Most people in contact with Muslims daily have observed that Islam has real problems. They learned the following list of issues on their own without the help of politicians or journalists:

      1 No Golden Rule 2 No free speech 3 No democracy 4 Jihad – holy war of supremacism 5 Honour killings 6 Taqiyya – sacred lying 7 Taqlid – group think 8 Misogyny – repression of women 9 Rape of kafirs as jihad prizes 10 Genocide 11 Ethnic cleansing 12 Al-Walaa wal-Baraa – Islamic apartheid 13 Torture 14 Plundering 15 Cruel and unusual punishments 16 Backwardness – stagnation 17 Violence against women 18 Slavery 19 Discriminatory Sharia law 20 Hatred of the arts 21 Pedophilia disguised as child marriage 22 Fifty generations of cousin marriage and genetic defects 23 Cruelty to animals 24 Extortion tax to humiliate disbelievers 25 No historic basis 26 Anti-intellectual obscurantism 27 FGM 28 Arab racism 29 Theocratic totalitarianism 30 Vigilantism

      Yes. Isn’t it amazing how the moslem president Barack Hussein Obozo elevates islam and places it on a pedestal here in the US, and throughout the world. As long as this moslem is president, our battle against islam will continuously be thwarted, but we must continue to fight against islamization of the western world.

    These monsters also, pretending to care for the lady, should be aware: “Vengeance belongs to God and it is a fearful…dreadful…thing to fall into the hands of the Living God (Hebrews 10).”

    She went into hiding….but hiding will do her no good. The True and Living God knows exactly where she is, and she and those who paid her to kill this lady, mother to so many, will not escape punishment.

      “These monsters also, pretending to care for the lady, should be aware: “Vengeance belongs to God and it is a fearful…dreadful…thing to fall into the hands of the Living God”

      You Christians have one thing in common with the Muslims: Both proclaim that their God is all about justice and greatness and still you are scared to death of your “loving” God.

      Maybe you should not base your concept of God based on some primitive jewish tribes who sacrificed animals and murdered the ones who dared to oppose the priesthood – or dared to collect wood on the Sabbath. Maybe one should not listen to the teachings of some psychopath such as Moses who slaughtered thousands for not following his wrathfull and merciless “God” who demanded animal sacrifices on a daily base and claimed that sins cannot be forgiven unless blood is spilt.

      If this is your idea of God then you really are not far away from the Muslims.

      One could think that the creator of the universe has not such an inferior and childish mindset as the primitive semitic tribes who constantly killed those who did not worship their God.

        neither, but islam is a doctrine of Satan and he, lucifer, allah or what ever you want to call him doesn’t like competition. The Bible says Satan(allah) is a liar and deceiver who comes to steal kill and destroy -exactly like ISIS is doing

          Jun 25, 2015 at 5:05 am

          @Spielmann – well yes, but what you christians fail to see is that Moses was as bad as Mohammed and stole virgin girls after wiping out their parents and burning down their houses. Jahwe and Allah are the same being, both bloodthirsty, men-hating pseudo-gods demanding that all who oppose must be slaughtered.

        pity you don’t know that, now, she has life eternal through faith in Jesus – Savior and Lord – who has removed the condemnation due her because of her sin, and, instead, blessed her with His everlasting presence, away from this mire.

        • boakai ngombu says

          Jun 24, 2015 at 10:42 am

          since the mosque is porous, such blessing is given to all those who hear the TRUTH about Jesus, instead of the lies taught within.

        dlbrand: Pity “The Lord Jesus” couldn’t be bothered to save her life.

        How about finding out why Jesus didn’t save His own life by attacking those who crucified Him when He had the power and authority to do so? The answer is in the Gospels if you care to do some research..

        Imagine if you were so mad at someone you picked up a knife to stab them – would you expect God to snatch the knife from you? No? Then your argument is totally inconsistent. You also forget that God has given mankind free will and a conscience.

        Individuals with your mindset always question why God doesn’t stop the result of flawed and sinful human actions but never want Him to intervene in their own lives – all the while denying hotly that He exists. Perhaps you need to follow the evidence where it leads rather than make facile statements.

          Indeed, Dr Divinity, and we do pray for them. A group of us write to encourage and comfort persecuted Christians, and have been doing so for the last six years. It is truly humbling and rewarding to serve them in this way.

          Interestingly, they don’t ask for prayer to be released but for the strength to endure, so that they can minister to their fellow cell mates also suffering in these indescribably cruel and squalid prisons.The unprecedented harvest resulting from persecution confirms the truism that the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church.

          As Richard Wurmbrand remarked in his book Tortured for Christ, “God will judge us not according to how much we endured, but how much we could love.” What an example they are to us in the free world.

    As a prominent Apostate, the President aught to make a public pronouncement specifically calling for the reform of Islamic law, both Sunni and Shia, repealing the death sentence for Apostates from Islam.
    Pope Francis would also do well to raise the issue and lead with it in interfaith discourse.

    Poisoning is Sunna…! Mohammed was poisoned by his closest ‘friends’ Abu Bakr and Omar and their daughters Aisha and Hafsa, but it was blamed on The Jooz. Abu Bakr was poisoned next along with his chief adviser by Uthman. Caliph Omar was killed with a poisoned spear. Hasan ibn `Ali was poisoned by Muawiyah.Alī ibn Ḥusayn son of Husayn bin Ali was poisoned by Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik.

    Poisoning is normative Islam, rather than an aberration.

    Once more account attesting to the fact, it is the “faith” of Islam—its easily provable basic tenets–that guide the actions of the believers, and not just a few radicals.

    Hitting, in their homes, the offenders of Islam and the same of its “prophet,” when, where, and how they least expects it, is simple Qur’anic doctrine, sunnah of Allah, thus Sunnah of the “prophet,” thus Sunnah of the ummah.

    Therefore, delivering “Allah’s punishment” on the said offenders, using the unorthodox “weapon” and means, a basic Islamic specialty.

    Apparently the police will not investigate. This is strange since Uganda is a predominantly Christian country. Maybe it is because of the corruption, Uganda rates among the most corrupt worldwide, and the family can’t pay.

    About 12% of the population are Muslim, but despite being a minority they seem to pose a threat to other religions. The western civilized world should notice this and not allow large concentrations of Muslims.

    Another killing in the name of religion……..when are the duped adherents of Islam are going to shift from denial to reality? Even the proponent and founder (1382 years ago) realized that people have a propensity to be ultra gullible when they are given forbidden fruit. Dazed blind by the artificial gifts received they didn’t even bother to read (the Quran) of his self admission by confessing that his prophetic revelations were a lie. Embedded in the Quran, Surah 3:54: states many times that Allah is the ‘best deceiver’. The root word used in these verses is ‘MAKR’ which means deception.

    If you look into this thought yourself carefully you will get a hint of what Surah 3:54 infers as to what Mohammad’s alter ego is all about.

    In fairness to the Muslim community the word ‘MAKR’ in Arabic is known that it has double meanings; deception and planner. However, I question the word planner for which its application can be used for good or evil as well.

    Reference:

    http://wikiislam.net/wiki/Allah_the_Best_Deceiver

    As a suggestion: To help further investigate the true thought behind Surah 3.45, we could well obtain neutral critiquing of it, by the well versed in the Arabic language; JW founder Mr. Robert Spenser.
