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

Uganda: Muslim kills Christian wife for leaving Islam

May 30, 2016 12:55 pm By Robert Spencer

“They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause of Allah. But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them and take not from among them any ally or helper.” (Qur’an 4:89)

A hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “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.”

Qaradawi also once famously said: “If they had gotten rid of the apostasy punishment, Islam wouldn’t exist today.”

Uganda Christians

“Muslim in Eastern Uganda Kills Christian Wife for Leaving Islam, Relatives Say,” Morning Star News, May 30, 2016:

NAIROBI, Kenya (Morning Star News) – A Muslim in eastern Uganda strangled his wife to death this month for leaving Islam, relatives and neighbors said.

Awali Kakaire, 34, early in the morning on May 8 killed Mariam Nakirya for embracing Christianity in Mbaale village, Imanyiro Sub-County, Mayuge District, the area residents told Morning Star News. She was 30.

Kakaire, who has fled the area, began to suspect his wife was a Christian a month prior, after the local imam questioned him as to why his wife and children had not been attending mosque prayers, nor his children attending the madrassa (Islamic school). Kakaire questioned his children about it, said one of his sons, whose name is undisclosed for security reasons.

“Our father questioned us why we have stopped attending the madrassa, but we told him that we were busy with school work as our mother had instructed us,” he told Morning Star News. “Our mother told our father that she has been busy instructing us on school homework. This made my father to cool down his tempers.”

As Kakaire frequently traveled to Malaba on business, sometimes for a month at a time, the rest of the family was often able to attend a nearby church on Sundays.

On May 8 Kakaire awoke at 6 a.m., and after his Islamic cleansing ritual woke his wife for her to join him in morning Islamic prayers, their son said.

“Our mother refused, and our father started strangling her as she cried for help,” he said.

Kakaire left the house after killing her, and then returned two hours later and forced his five children, ages 5 to 12, into a hole he had dug in a nearby garden, his son said.

“We resisted and began screaming, and neighbors arrived immediately, but he had already dumped us into the hole that he had dug,” he said. “Seeing the neighbors, he tried to flee but he was overtaken and then began to be questioned by those who surrounded him.”

Kakaire’s brother, Michael Kirunda, told Morning Star News he and others were awakened by loud screaming from the house.

“Neighbors rushed to their home and found the children dumped into a hole,” Kirunda said. “He wanted to escape, but he could not find a way, hence we started questioning him about the children. ‘My family has no respect for Islam,’ he said in a loud outburst. We then proceeded into the house and found his wife dead.”

Muslim and Christian relatives of the deceased, along with some Christian neighbors, sought to lynch Kakaire, but some Muslims showed support for him. Police arrived with tear gas, guns and batons and brought calm.

“They dispersed us, and we left,” Kirunda said. “That evening some of the Muslims hurriedly buried Mariam.”

Nakirya had come to Christ in August 2015 after a series of visits from a door-to-door evangelist from a nearby church.

“The absence of the husband doing business away from his home for a length of time gave me good accessibility to ministering the Good News to Nakirya’s family,” the evangelist, whose name is undisclosed, told Morning Star News.

Relatives of Nakirya tried to ambush Kakaire several times before he fled. The couple’s two oldest children, ages 12 and 11, are with their grandmother, and the youngest three are with Kirunda….

    A hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “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.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    muhammad (perdition be upon him) was a reprobate/criminal, and he did *not* serve the one true God; and obviously he never obeyed any of the 10 commandments, which are …

    Ten Commandments List:

    1) You shall have no other gods before Me.
    2) You shall make no idols.
    3) You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.
    4) Keep the Sabbath day holy.
    5) Honor your father and your mother.
    6) You shall not murder.
    7) You shall not commit adultery.
    8) You shall not steal.
    9) You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
    10) You shall not covet.

    This evil man, muhammad, did not obey ANY of the 10 commandments; in fact, he made a point of breaking all of them, and then claimed that they were as A-OK and that allah said so. And the above “hadith” is clearly against the 6th commandment, “You shall not murder.”

    This story is not uncommon among those whom leave islam, demonstrating more insane and inhumane criminal acts courtesy islam and company; islam is *wholly* evil.

      It is plain to see how Islam is based on Judaism, that is why the Jews are hated so much. They had the religion and Mohammad stole it from them, as he was not intelligent enough to create his own religion

      In Mohamed defense, the great king Solomon did commit adultery to a level that would put Mohamed to shame… And if I recall correctly, Saul wiped out an entire people…. With the help of the prophet samuel

    Vigilante murder is normative Islam, rather than an aberration. Vigilante murder of apostates is authenticated by the fatwa department of Al Azhar University, Islam’s top Sharia authority.

    In 1992, Islamist militants gunned down Egyptian secularist Farag Foda. Before his death, he had been declared an apostate and enemy of Islam. During the trial of the murderers, Al Azhar scholar Muhammad al-Ghazali testified that when the state fails to punish apostates, somebody else has to do it.

    Islam’s source texts justify vigilante murder.

    Bukhari (84:64-65) – “Allah’s Apostle: ‘During the last days there will appear some young foolish people who will say the best words but their faith will not go beyond their throats (i.e. they will have no faith) and will go out from (leave) their religion as an arrow goes out of the game. So, wherever you find them, kill them, for whoever kills them shall have reward on the Day of Resurrection.’”

    Sharia law: The “Bill of Legal Punishments” says (p.12), “A person guilty of apostasy (man or woman) shall be put to death if repentance is not made within the period allowed which shall not exceed sixty days. Repentance of a person who commits apostasy more than twice shall not be accepted.”

    No doctrine in Islam depends on a single Koranic verse, but on the Koran, hadiths, Sira and canonical rulings. What is ‘normative Islam’ is decided by the fatwa department at Al Azhar University, not by private opinion. In the 1992 murder of apostate Farag Foda, Al Azhar’s scholars argued that when the state fails to punish apostates, “somebody else has to do it.”

    Islam’s vigilantism is the greatest contradiction of the Golden Rule that can be. Vigilantism deprives ‘others’ of the right to follow their consciences. Muslims have a duty to ‘command the right and forbid the wrong’ and they are entitled to change what is wrong ‘with their hands’…as vigilantes. Muslims do not need permission from anyone to enforce discriminatory Sharia by vigilantism, up to and including the murder of apostates and blasphemers. Indeed, Islamic vigilantes will be considered heroes of Islam for defending Islamic principles by making Sharia law superior to national, secular laws.

    Results of constant fear:

    Vigilantism ultimately creates a society dominated by continual fear, one where no one dares to step out of line. Fear causes stagnation, passivity, acquiescence, and lack of initiative and creativity. Instability and dysfunction are characteristic of Islamic societies. Thomas Hobbes’ described anarchy, he described Islamic societies plagued by vigilantism: “men live without a common power to keep them all in awe, they are in that condition which is called war; and such a war as is of every man against every man.”

    The result of Sharia vigilantism in a society lives is that everyone lives in fear and all become liars to survive. Consequently, society breaks down because everyone must suspect everyone else of treachery. Thomas Hobbes wrote that in a such a state of continual warfare in which every man is against every other man, life is nasty, mean, brutish and short.

    The greatest problem with Islam is that Mohammed made every single Muslim a vigilante: every Muslim is a lethal weapon to be used against every other Muslim and against every Kafir. Freedom of expression and freedom of conscience are incompatible with Islam because jihad is unending until victory.

    Vigilantism is forbidden in all legal systems, but not in Sharia law.

    Soon Westerners will be well-acquainted with the following orders given by a frightening, bearded man as they walk through a new Muslim no-go zone: “Remove yourself away from the mosque. Go away now. This is a Muslim area. Muslim patrol. Muslim patrol. Move away from the mosque.”

      What can we expect from lowlife Muslims?
      Why did his relatives not drag that POS imam through streets after beheading him in retaliation.
      Don’t these Muslims have any family honor?
      I guess not because they “Honor” kill their own daughters yo gain approval of their neighbors.
      Muslims are such a despicable disgrace.

      They truly are.

      Mortimer you have used variations of the word ‘Vigilantism’ twelve times to describe devout Muslims. If Muslim relatives of these victims were not so complicit and if they killed all of their bloodthirsty devout Muslim murdering neighbors in retaliation along with their instigating imams this behavior would come to a screeching halt.

      “no one dares to step out of line”
      Why not?

      The problem is It is total lack of Muslim accountability.

    The wife has more balls leaving Islam, than did her husband.
    Too sad she paid for it with her life.

    Just more proof, all who speak of the Islam problem our world suffers from and do so speaking to the problem sectioning it off as “radical Islam,” telling us, in their next breath, of what wonderful people their Muslim friends are; do so from cowardice of Islam.

    Prime cowardice of Islam–feigned unawareness of its tenets.

    This is the Islam our “leaders,” our Candidates, to the man, to the woman, hightailed hell-for-leather run from.
