Kenya: Muslim relatives of Somali Christian beat him unconscious for his faith

Feb 13, 2016 11:12 am By Robert Spencer

“Hassan declined to name the relatives, saying he feared they would kill him. Somalis generally believe all Somalis are Muslims by birth and that consequently any Somali who becomes a Christian can be charged with apostasy, but Hassan was raised Christian from childhood.” Apostasy is punishable by death according to Islamic law, and from the extent of his injuries, it looks as if Hassan’s relatives were trying to kill him.

“Muslim Relatives of Somali Christian in Kenya Beat Him Unconscious for His Faith,” Morning Star News, February 11, 2016:

NAIROBI, Kenya (Morning Star News) – A Christian of Somali descent in Kenya is unable to see or eat after Muslim relatives beat him unconscious on Sunday (Feb. 7) outside Nairobi, the young man said from his hospital bed.

The relatives indicated to 26-year-old Hassan (last name withheld for security reasons) that they ambushed him because they had learned that he and others were holding mid-week, Christian devotional times in their home.

Hassan and his 15-year-old brother were on their way at 9 a.m. to Sunday worship at a church (name withheld) whose building is 10 kilometers (six miles) from their home when they were attacked. Muslim family members and other Somalis continually monitor their movements, especially on Sundays, and for security reasons Hassan and his brother customarily take a different route to the worship service than their mother and other siblings do.

As the brothers made their way down a pathway off Ngong Road, their uncles hit Hassan from behind, he said. His brother said one of the attackers was a relative who lives 40 kilometers (24 miles) from them, on the other side of Nairobi.

“They hit me with a blunt object, and I fell down bleeding,” Hassan said. “Then they stepped on my stomach, and while I was struggling, another hit me on my head [with the blunt object]. I was not able to know what happened after that point. I just woke up to find my mother screaming for help.”

Hassan’s younger brother, who managed to escape and fetch his mother, said that one of the assailants had told Hassan, “You have been deceiving us that you have been having a ‘family meeting’ – we have found out that you have been conducting Christian activities, which is against of our family tradition of being a Muslim family.”

Hassan declined to name the relatives, saying he feared they would kill him. Somalis generally believe all Somalis are Muslims by birth and that consequently any Somali who becomes a Christian can be charged with apostasy, but Hassan was raised Christian from childhood.

In an interview at his hospital bed on Wednesday (Feb. 10), Morning Star News learned that he was unable to eat, could take only drink and was unable to walk. His eyes were so swollen that he was unable to see, and he complained of severe stomach pains. He could sit up only with his mother’s help. Internal stomach injuries appeared to have hampered his urinary system….

    We just had a Somali muslim jihad-attacking a Christian restaurant in the US yesterday and it is the same in Kenya. islamic persecution is global threat to all non-muslims and people need to wake up and fight back.

      In the debate tonight The Donald was the only one to get really mad at all our dilly-dallying in the mideast. ‘We’ve been there for 15 yrs. and we’ve got NOTHING!’, he said.

      The jerks in the audience boo’ed and Trump loved it. ‘Those are Jeb’s contributors out there. I don’t have any; I’m self-funding!, he said.

        Trump so much lacks principles, that he will make a “deal” with Muslim nations not to molest their nationals while in USA. That guy has always been a farce and it’s getting tiresome the repeated mantra that he will make things great.

        • Kathy Brown, Esq. says

          Feb 15, 2016 at 9:12 pm

          No my friend: I don’t think that’s a ‘deal’ Trump would ever make.

          As for principles, alas! Political campaigns are not the place to find them, correct? Like looking for virginity in a brothel…

          But I do think he’ll fulfill his slogan, simply because he loves making great deals; doesn’t like freeloaders (in re: the Border, illegals) and is sick and fed up with watching muslim butchery.

    Recently about 100 Kenyan peace-keeping soldiers were massacred in a Somali village by alshabab terrorists after they were tricked/deceived by the Somali army members who disabled communications and withdrew from the same camp before the shabab terrorists attacked them at dawn. Obama, a son of a Kenyan father never even sent condolences to the Kenyans but instead he went into an Islamic terror-linked mosque and babbled non-sense!

      Re ‘former Muslim…converts after reading’

      No one can read the Sira, Koran and hadiths and be indifferent. If you admire the main figure Mohammed, you will become a sociopath. If you are repulsed by Mohammed, you will be opposed to Islam.

        The Backlash at Muslim trash

        If any harm comes to that poor woman the nearest mosque should be completely sterilized of Islam’s stench to serve as a stern warning to the other gangsters of their religion based on intimidation.

    Primitive, tribal, backward, crocodilian, suspicious, paranoid, illogical, brutal, savage, predatory, clannish, supremacist, misogynistic, xenophobic, sly, cunning, absurd, vicious, hate-filled, intolerant = Islam.

    If Obama actually lived in Kenya, his Muslim relatives would pressure him to rejoin Islam and perhaps honor-kill him.

      That’s only if he actually ever left Islam which is seriously in doubt.

    Somalis generally believe all Somalis are Muslims by birth

    Not “Somalis generally” – *muslim* Somalis. And that’s because islam orthodoxy states that everyone is born a muslim.

    The Swedish government believes that bringing in thousands of Muslims from Somalia will make their society better

    Somalis learning to use an escalator.The have never seen modern society and add nothing to the Swedish society

    • gravenimage says

      Feb 16, 2016 at 5:45 pm

      I don’t really care if Somali immigrants know how to use escalators or not.

      Laotian Hmong had no idea about most Western technology when the came to the US in the 1970s and ’80s. Most of them have long since become good citizens.

      If I thought that were true of Muslim Somalis, there would be no problem. But given time they are just more likely to be ever more effective Jihadists.

    Somali Muslims are the worst of the bunch. They are actually inhuman. Second come Kenyans.
