Uganda: Muslim clerics convicted of terrorism in connection with murders of rival Islamic group leaders

Aug 23, 2017 1:22 pm By Robert Spencer

They probably thought that the other clerics were heretics or apostates from Islam. Both of these offenses carry the death penalty in Islamic law.

“Ugandan Muslim clerics sentenced to life for terrorism,” Reuters, August 22, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Kampala – A Ugandan court on Tuesday sentenced a Muslim group leader and three associates to life in prison after their conviction on terrorism charges related to threats to harm rivals, a judicial official said.

Over the last few years more than a dozen senior Muslim figures in Uganda have been killed, in most cases gunned down by unknown assailants riding on motorcycle taxis.

Sheikh Mohammad Yunus Kamoga, who heads Tabliqs, a radical Muslim faction, and 13 others were arrested and charged with terrorism and the murder of some other Islamic group leaders.

On Monday six of them were convicted on the terrorism charges but all were cleared of murder.

In a high court session on Tuesday, Kamoga and three others were sentenced to life while two associates were given 30 years each, according to judiciary spokesman Solomon Muyita.

The court acquitted the group of murder because prosecutors failed to place any of them at the scenes of crime, he said….

    Clerics? Does religion have anything to do with war or violence? Maybe they really believe.

    We were given it all.. a planet perfect for human biology. The rise of science to combat superstition. Becoming unshackled by religions.
    Experimenting with systems of government that gave the greatest hope, the greatest health in all of human history. We live in a golden age compared to any time OR times before.
    Yet a middle Age religion threatens us all.

    ……………..

    That, or they considered them rivals for power.

    When is the last time you heard of a Rabbi, a Minister, or a Priest murdering other clerics–or anyone?

    God, I hate Islam. Just glad to see these thugs got life.

    So under Ugandan law you can’t conspire to commit murder?

    There may be “no compulsion in religion”, but there seems to be murder? Shocker!

    As long as they killed other Muslims no great loss.

    My dreams are being answered sooner than I imagined, ever though later than I would have wanted. They are killing each other. Now that is a great start. Let’s figure out how we can foment more Muslim on Muslim killings by a good cop bad cop philosophy – half of the West to wind-up the Sunni, and the other half to wind-up the Shia. Boy, what a shindig. Nobody knows better how to behead and destroy than Muslims – after all, they have had fourteen hundred years of practice. Now that they are killing one another let’s rejoice – indeed help them find even more reasons how and why they should hate one another. And this Islamic hate is fertile ground for starting battles – don’t forget there are about a hundred different Islamic cults so – as the man said “The more the merrier”.

      Actually, I THINK that it is ONLY 73 SECTS AND SUB SECTS- and I read that 72 are false, and they are to fight one another, and THE TRUE SECT WILL SURVIVE.

      I would like to make it 74 and add ANTIFA.
