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

Uganda: Christian convert from Islam beaten unconscious by husband for attending church

Sep 28, 2016 4:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

Jihad Watch recently ran a feature: “The price of converting to Christianity from Islam”. Listed among the high costs was the loss of the former Muslim’s family. Well, this story below illustrates an actual case of what happened to a 21-year-old Ugandan, Fatuma Baluka, who converted to Christianity and dared to go to church.

After being accused of being an infidel, Baluka explained that she has become “an enemy” to her husband and that her Muslim parents “will not receive” her either.

“Woman Viciously Beaten Unconscious by Muslim Husband After Attending Church Service in Uganda”, by Samuel Smith, Christian Post, September 27, 2016:

A woman in the landlocked African nation of Uganda was beaten unconscious by her Muslim husband and hospitalized because she attended a church service and allegedly converted to Christianity.

Twenty-one-year-old Fatuma Baluka, who lives in Uganda’s eastern Budaka District, recently told the Christian persecution watchdog website Morning Star News that she was knocked unconscious and ferociously beaten by her husband, Hussein Kasolo, last Sunday after she attended a nearby Christian church with her friend.

“When I arrived home, my husband shouted at me as an ‘infidel,’ and then and there started hitting me with a metallic object,” Baluka said. “I fell down, only to find myself in a hospital bed.”

Fortunately for Baluka, who is the daughter of an Islamic leader in the predominantly Muslim village, her neighbors came to her rescue and stopped the husband from continuing to beat her. When the neighbors saw Baluka, she was bleeding badly from her head and leg.

“We found Baluka unconscious, and we were able to overpower the husband’s brutal attack,” the anonymous neighbor told Morning Star News.

The neighbors then took Baluja to the nearby hospital where she was hospitalized for about four days before being discharged last Thursday.

The pastor of the unnamed church that Baluka and her friend attended told Morning Star News that Baluka is now becoming a Christian….

After being accused of being an infidel, Baluka explained that she has become “an enemy” to her husband and that her Muslim parents “will not receive” her either.

“I feel disowned and helpless,” she said.

Baluka has been displaced from her home and is now seeking refuge.

Although a strong majority of people in Uganda are Christians (85 percent), honor crimes continue to be a constant problem in areas of the country, especially areas with a majority Muslim population.

In August, it was reported that the parents of eight children in the Luuka District who gave their lives to Christ were also beaten and cast away by their Muslim families. Additionally, the pastor who converted the children was also told that if he does not move his ministry out of the area, he will be killed.

In June, it was reported that a Muslim father in the Kamuli District tied his 9-year-old son to a tree and lit him on fire because he converted to Christianity and refused to fast during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

In March, a Muslim family beat their son and burned down his home after he told his father that he had given his life to Christ.

    Evil, brutal, barbaric SAVAGES. This is happening all over the muslum world EVERY DAY.

      You are spot-on David. But these are things you will not see or hear about from the enemedia. Thank God for Robert Spencer, Pamela Geller, Nonie Darwish, Wafa Sultan, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, David Wood and others for bringing the truth to light.

    Cue Monsignor Swetland to now recount for us the Protestant / Catholic wars of the 1500-1600’s and lecture us Catholics who worry and pray for these converts that we better get with the “Spirit of Vatican II” and Nostra Aetate. I do pray for Fatuma and hope she has a better pastor than Msgr Swetland…one like my Roman Catholic pastor and such as Father Rutler of NYC.

    There is no freedom of religion in Islam.

    Sahih Bukhari 2794: It was narrated from Ibn`Abbas that the Messenger of Allah said: “Whoever changes his religion, kill him.”

    Moreover, Islam allows men to beat the disobedient wives.

    Abu Dawud (2142) – “The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: A man will not be asked as to why he beat his wife.”

    Islam is intolerant of other religions.

    It says so in the Quran.

      Islam is not very family friendly or multicultural either.

      The Quran says:
      The Muslim family that prays together slays together.

    Whether or not she was considering converting, I hope she finds peace and acceptance wherever she goes. Unfortunately she won’t end up in the US with that story, the current administration has no room for non-Muslims

    This is what Muslim males do. Most Muslim women accept and advocate the right of the husbands to beat them. They and their husband have been brainwashed by a demonic religion. The difference is a man should be a leader and protector of his wife. Muslim men are not because they like the power of intimation and domination. They don’t want an even playing ground. It takes a small man to beat women. Many are so insecure they have their wives “circumcised”. Any man that will murder his own child because he/ she does conform to Sharia Law is a demonic beast and a coward that can’t cannot function normally in a civilized society. Obama and Hillary do not bring anymore demons here.

    After being accused of being an infidel, Baluka explained that she has become “an enemy” to her husband and that her Muslim parents “will not receive” her either.

    should Christian organizations be contemplating work in Muslim areas, they might consider establishing a “safe” facility for such women who have been thrown out by adherents of this religion.

    the allah god of islam (unknowable; the best of all deceivers) and it’s messenger, Muhammad (lately contrived; full of lusts; lacking compassion) seek to eliminate any who will not be Muslim (slaves).

    Christians can be of profound influence by being kind to the helpless and rejected; the message of love, forgiveness, acceptance by Christ Jesus, is something the allah god cannot imitate, cannot tolerate, itself lacking true love, lacking joy.

      Whoever was involved with her conversion, such as this pastor, should also know that she needed to be removed from her “family” as far as possible because she will likely be killed by them. There needs to be an “underground railroad” for converts, especially for the daughter of an Islamic leader.

      Yet another glimpse into the black heart of Islam, not radical Islam, not extremist Islam, but Islam in itself. Islam responds to the “message of love” and the very idea of freedom of conscience with hate and murder. Even if it is your wife, your sister, or your daughter. Especially if it is your wife, sister, or daughter. Islam is a human sacrifice system, par excellence.

      “You will not find any people who believe in Allah and the Last Day, loving those who resist Allah & His Messenger, even though they be their fathers, sons, brothers or kindred.” 58:22

      “They wish that you should reject faith as they reject faith, and then you would be equal; therefore take not to yourselves friends of them, until they emigrate in the way of God; then, if they turn their backs, take them, and slay them wherever you find them; take not to yourselves any one of them as friend or helper.” 4:89

      “…The Prophet said, ‘If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him.’ ” Bukhari 52:260

      Umdat al-Salik (pp. 595-96): “Leaving Islam is the ugliest form of unbelief (kufr) and the worst…. When a person who has reached puberty and is sane voluntarily apostasizes from Islam, he deserves to be killed. In such a case, it is obligatory…to ask him to repent and return to Islam. If he does it is accepted from him, but if he refuses, he is immediately killed.” {o8.4 there is no penalty for killing an apostate}.

    Thank you Ms. Williams for your excellent work here at Jihadwatch. This article reveals the essence of our fight against jihad conquest. We must stand in complete opposition to everything represented by Islam. Religious freedom, Marriage, femininity, family ties, all are destroyed by Islam’s wicked dictates. We must not shirk our duty at this crucial moment. The neighbors, using sufficient protective force, give an example for all of Western culture to emulate.

    …so, where do we find any comments from the UN? Or the USA? Or The World? Why not take to the streets for all women in this situation? 1400 years of islamic domestic oppression and cultural oppression is quite vividly pictured in this short article…same pattern as always in following the “book”… The language of “The Book” becomes “flesh” – from a brutal image to a brutal action. Is this “…a religion of tolerance…”? is it “…a GREAT RELIGION…”? Is it “…a religion of peace…”? …to make it easy – this is not at all “religion” in the first case…so it cannot be that in any other following cases at all… There is only ONE thing that is a problem with islam – it has NEVER BEEN THE TRUTH!

    The religion of peace. You must die if you don’t agree with it or try to leave it. Actually, it’s quite the perfect religion because of this. Death to everything that isn’t muslim.

  15. dumbledoresarmy says

    This is why groups like Barnabas Fund exist: to help the local church in places like Uganda to help brave people – like this lady – who have left the Death Cult.

    Remember: officially, Uganda is NOT an Islamic country, and *numerically* Uganda is 85 percent Christian. Muslims comprise 11 percent of the population; which means that – being more than ten percent, and (as usual) concentrated into certain areas – they ‘punch above their weight’. Barnabas Fund stories from Uganda – featured in their bimonthly prayer booklets – are rather worrying; Muslims, even at just 11 percent of the population in a massively-majority-Christian nation, are making a HUGE push for dominance locally, regionally and even nationally.

    This is a case a individual who is a Muslim engaging in persecution of his Christian wife. Of course this is terrible. Shame on him. He can’t use logic or reason to convince her that is is wrong for being a Christian.So is uses brute force against her. So much of reason or logic. That’s not what Islam is based on.. This type of Muslim violence and persecution against Christians also happen on a wide and vast scale .
    As the the violent and vicious Muslims who are jihadists in their murderous persecution of Christians aren’t really going to get away with their destruction of Christians. As the apostle Paul had written each individual Christian is actually, in the View of God, a temple of God. For to Christians, it is written in the Bible “Don’t you know that that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? If anyone destroys God’s Temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.” First Corinthians 3:16,17. [N.I.V.] As in “A man reaps what he sows.” Galatians 6:7.

    Please Google: Allah=Satan
    Then Google: Muhammad=AntiChrist
    Then Google: 669 million non-muslims massacred
    112 times the Shoa!
    Who cares?

    Remember kids: if you say you don’t want this happening in your country then you are a “racist”, “bigot” and “islamophobe”.
