“Radicals” on the Muslim-majority island of Zanzibar recently targeted two churches for persecution, through legal means and otherwise.
They drove Pastor Philemon, a father of five, into hiding and took over his New Covenant Church’s worship hall by getting the landlord to rent it to them before the church’s lease ended. Once a congregation of 100, members now account for 25. “The church faithful are so scattered,” said Philemon. “Some members are always knocking at my door requesting a place for worship.” The pastor is also helping care for several converts from Islam who fled their homes due to persecution and is struggling financially to help them while also providing for his own family, which includes five children.
Just outside Zanzibar City, in Chukwani, Muslims made false land claims in order to bleed another church dry with legal costs. Said Pastor Lukanula: “The Muslims are waiting for the time when we shall fail to attend the court hearing, implying losing the case and subsequently having to pay a substantial amount of money.” Before the false claims regarding ownership of the land were made, the leader of a local mosque told the pastor, “We do not want to see a church building here in Chukwani.” And in 2007, area Muslims demolished the original structure under construction.

Jeez – it really is just like cancer isn’t it? The individual cells proliferate and try to destroy or co-opt the healthy cells by infection (ie dawah), lawfare, intimidation or jihad. And to what end? If they managed to take over the entire organism it would only die because they are only parasitic, not even being able to make the weapons they use against us, along with themselves.
A while ago someone posted an excellent account of the similarities between Islam and an epidemic but I can’t remember who it was – possibly RonaldB?

Not cancer…BULLYING! Islamic morality is inverted and imposed on people by FEAR. The mob is given authority in Islam to impose Sharia. This is one of the many brilliant techniques that allows Islam to strangle civil society. The end result of Islamic vigilantism is a revolution that brings dictatorship and a Kaddafi-clone dictator who must eventually be assassinated.
Islamic vigilantism is normative and cannot be removed from Islam.
mortimer says
Islamic vigilantism to support Sharia was endorsed by clerics at Al Azhar University because it is the Sunna of Mohammed.
Vigilantism is normative Islam, rather than an aberration.

I live there. This story is totally fraudulent. This “pastor” is infamous for making up stories to fundraiser in the West. His “foundation ” was recently found to be corrupt. Hopefully going to jail. Check your sources

Can you give your sources, if it’s not too much to ask?…Lol

Tanzania is 99.X% muslim – no surprise there.

A 2010 Pew survey found 61.4 percent of respondents to be Christian, 35.2 percent to be Muslim, 1.8 percent to follow traditional African religions, 1.4 percent to be unaffiliated, and 0.1 percent to be Hindu

Zanzibar played a very important part in the slave trade. Looks like those Arab Muslims in Africa are picking up steam again.

Wherever there are muslims…those who embrace islam…there is terrorism. Where one finds islam, one finds theft. Where muslims live, there is extortion and threats, intimidation, and violence.
Where islam prevails, there is murder, rape, horrific abuse of children, and lack of truth and integrity.
No place is safe from these satanic practices where muslims practice islam. No large or small country, no islands of the sea. Killing, stealing, raping, lying, kidnapping, extortion, torture, persecution, ….are the practices of islam.
There is no virtue, no benefit, nothing worthwhile in satan’s beast that is islam.

Islam and most of it’s muslims are trapped in the 9th century.
Their inability to co-exist, not only with each other, (Sunnis vs Shiites), but especially with non muslims, will inevitably result in a clash, culminating in numerous casualties and deportation from Europe and the Western world.
That is if nothing is done to curb islamic jihadists/primitiveness.
Egypt, Jordan, and Israel are the only countries that are currently engaged in the fight against that evil.
Sadly Obama is an obstacle.
