Hussein, a 68-year-old Sheikh (Muslim leader) from Uganda, is facing a fatwa (death sentence) after publicly acknowledging that he has become a Christian. He had kept his faith a secret for ten years
There is no diversity and tolerance in Islamic law, so while Westerners promote a multiculturalist view that all cultures are equal, the facts prove otherwise. Those who expose these truths and the abuses associated with Sharia are tarred as “Islamophobic.” Hussein went from Muslim leader to an apostate worthy of death in Islam, even worse than someone who was born a Christian. Hussein was “granted a scholarship for further studies in Saudi Arabia. There he had exposure to radical Islam, which never sat well with him,” as it should not with anyone. But when he became a Christian, he incurred Islam’s death sentence for apostasy, and will live the rest of his life as a hunted man.
“Sheikh From Uganda Faces Fatwa After Being A Secret Christian For Ten Years,” Open Doors, March 12, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
COMING ACROSS ‘ISA’
Hussein grew up in a Muslim home and started attending Islamic classes from the age of seven. After he finished school in 1977 he was granted a scholarship for further studies in Saudi Arabia. There he had exposure to radical Islam, which never sat well with him.While there, he also came across reference to Isa (the Arabic translation of Jesus) in the Quran and Jesus Christ in the Bible as part of his Islamic Apologetics studies. He started questioning Islam, which worried his lecturers.
Soon after the fall of Ugandan dictator President Idi Amin Dada, Hussein lost his scholarship and was deported to Uganda. Hussein started teaching Arabic and Islam at local schools and later became the leader of one of the biggest mosques in the district. But his heart remained restless, and even after 30 years, he still wanted to find out more about Jesus.
SECRET FAITH
One day in 2006, Hussein attended an open-air Christian-Muslim religious dialogue. “A pastor shared the gospel with us and explained the deity of Jesus in relation to God the Father in the Bible. My heart was filled with joy because the questions that had been plaguing my heart for so long were answered! In my excitement, I shared the message with a Muslim friend, also a sheikh, who cautioned me to never speak to him about Jesus again.“When the Pastor invited us for a dialogue the second time, I asked to meet him separately. He agreed. During our meeting I told him I wanted to give my life to Jesus. He led me in a prayer of confession and I formally accepted Christ as my Saviour.
“I continued to attend the Muslim-Christian dialogue but did not tell any of my friends about my new faith. I kept it a secret for ten years, but in 2016 during another religious dialogue, I formally declared myself to be a Christian. The news quickly spread and I immediately started getting threats.”
FORCED TO FLEE
“In July 2017, I offered my land to build a church. When the community got wind of this, they threatened to burn the pastor’s vehicles. But God used the county leaders to prevent the mob from causing destruction.“That same night, three young men dressed in black with their faces covered came looking for me. They told my wife they wanted Bibles and heard that they could get them from me. My wife was suspicious and did not tell them where I was. We later learned that the young men had been sent to kidnap and kill me for apostasy. I learned that a fatwa had been called out against me. I sent my wife and children to live with my in-laws while I fled to a nearby refugee camp….
Marina says
Islam needs to collapse. Let’s hope many will see the light leave this poison.
mortimer says
Marina, Islam is collapsing because even SHEIKHS (meaning a ‘doctor’ of Islam or ‘senior theologian’ of Islam) … even SHEIKHS… are dropping out after years of studying arguments PRO and CON about Islam.
Many of the LEADING APOLOGISTS for Islam have DROPPED OUT of Islam after studying the ARGUMENTS FOR and AGAINST ISLAM, because they have no way to REFUTE the accusations that Islam is 1) unhistorical 2) amoral and 3) incoherent. On all three counts, Islam fails and cannot be rationally defended. Truly, the only defense of Islam that is possible is the ‘DEFENSE OF THE SWORD’ (meaning: ‘believe this, or I will kill you’). The DEFENSE OF THE SWORD is not a rational argument, but proves that Islam has NO argument with which it may defend itself.
J D S says
Of course this is “OVER THERE” and it could never happen in the U.S. we are a Christian nation..Wait a minute ……didn’t Obummer declare that we are no longer a Christian nation…Well I suppose actually we are not because our leaders seem yo have forgotten what our Country was founded on so soon killing someone because Islam says it’s ok will Doon be the norm….We have forgotten God…Will He forget us?
gravenimage says
Uganda is about 84% Christian, and just 14% Muslim–so this is largely a Christian nation. But there has been a lot of Muslim savagery there.
Nancy Perkins says
Exactly! Islam is all hate and destruction. They !know nothing of the love of Jesus so they want to kill Christians. Get them out of America. They refuse to assimilate. ?
Frank Anderson says
Ms. Perkins, it is not like they have a choice. islam demands strict compliance. Any choice that does not follow the strict teachings is apostasy punishable by death. Their god, unlike the God of Christians and Jews, is afraid of questions.
Linnte says
Oh Frank you’re wrong. Every human being has a choice, once they are aware they DO have a choice. That’s the key. Awareness. And it is awareness and choice that are some of that “created in the image of God” thing. They do have a choice and that is what we can help them with.
Frank Anderson says
Linnte, yes the choice is simple comply with islam or die. Very few brave and insightful people will take the stand to oppose islam. They deserve all the honor and support that can be given. But the run of the mill “true believer” must, according to all teaching from the first lessons and extending as many as 5 times a day for life, never stray from the dictates of the prophet in the final, complete, perfect and unchangeable teachings and practices.
I suggest imagining that courage shown by this man will extend to large numbers of followers who will cut loose is an exercise of Viktor Frankl’s “delusion of a reprieve” (Man’s Search for Meaning). “It ‘ain’t gonna’ happen; but I’ll believe it anyway because it makes me feel better and allows me to avoid the truth.” Delusions of reprieve are fine for death camps; because what alternatives exist? But otherwise, allowing delusions to avoid, postpone or excuse facing reality is suicidal, both for individuals and society.
Terry Gain says
A “religion” that prescribes punishments for people who leave the “religion” is, per se, illegitimate.
mortimer says
Terry, the ‘argumentum ad baculum’ is both irrational and amoral as a defense of Islam. It is the only defense that Islam can produce.
Terry Gain says
Mortimer
Right you are. As usual.

True, Terry and Mortimer.
Frank Anderson says
I cannot understand how such a perverse and evil set of teachings, practices and beliefs can deserve protections afforded under the Constitution as a “religion”. Promotion of murder . . . . . . . and how much else that are all contrary to civilized society cannot in my opinion be reconciled with the normal function of religion in promoting peace, harmony and social progress. We have discussed this before. I remain unable to understand how evil, totally anti-liberty can be protected.
J D S says
Right you are Frank……but as I keep saying it will take new laws to address the atrocities in Islam..There are plenty of laws on the books addressing the bad stuff in Islam…but it isn’t enough. Laws have to be passed to address that…Islam is not what we consider that our constitution approves a “religion” to be….The problem here is…If it should end up in the supreme court…then the U.S. will loose out to Islam. So Sad, God please help us.
WE HAVE MET THE ENEMY FACE TO FACE and WE ARE IT!
gravenimage says
I don’t think need new laws, J D S–we were able to face down Fascism without passing new laws to outlaw it. We need to rigorously enforce the laws we have, which we are not doing now.
Nancy Perkins says
Absolutely
Japetto Danatelli says
How many stories do we have to hear like this before defenders of islam figure it out? There is no freedom or equal rights in islam, not when it comes to women and other religions. But it’s worse than that really, because they hate most our arts and entertainment too, our manner of dress, our democracy, free speech, homosexuals and Jews. They dislike our culture so much they don’t mingle or assimilate any more than they have to, hence the dangerous enclaves.
“That same night, three young men dressed in black with their faces covered came looking for me.”
How long before they come for your bibles all you Christians in America? Muslims are already mass murdering our people for their religion, do you really expect tolerance along with murder? How long before Hindus, Jews, and Pagans, must practice their faith in secret because the large muslim population nearby is “offended” by their religious beliefs? Do you really think they won’t import this bigotry into our nation? do you really think that geography alone will destroy their fanatical love for allah? You’re nuts if you think that. They haven’t changed in 1400 years, they aren’t going to change for us, know that.
They are infiltrating every area of our lives, our schools, politics, and government. Their mosques are seed beds of subversion along with the doctrines they teach inside. You can call it a “religion of peace” if you want, but it’s still the teachings of an demon that instructs its followers to kill or enslave us “infidels.” If you defend that evil trash then you are defending the destruction of our nation for an evil ideology worse than Nazism or Communism. Such people cannot call themsleves “American,” in fact they are enemies of the state.
Cicero says
This is absolutely correct in the case of the UK.
Not only are they infiltrating every ar3 of British life, “ our politics, our schools , our government” .
THEY ARE NOW FULLY EMBEDDED in every aspect.
strong aingel says
Exactly when is the Fraud that sets up ISA as Jesus, when in fact he is not, going to be raised in public? You need to wonder at what is going on when highly paid Western Academics, Security Officials and the like keep shtump about this particular deceit. When most of us are subject to stringent scrutiny of every word we speak and write, islamic twisting of the historical record is not merely tolerated, it I the axle around which the wheels of Islam are given freedom of the Worlds roads. Our own Political is currently pursuing gross nonsense against Russia, while in their own backyard their treachery is known and detested by the greater population. Younger People will have no knowledge of “The Grand Alliance” or the “DVD”. Nazi involvement with Stalin, Islam, and every ill of the past 90 year is a fairy tale apparently, even when the history proves otherwise ..
oldblindjohn says
It’s a good thing there is no compulsion in religion.

Ha ha
greyhound fancier says
Strong aingel, part of this is the secular mindset – the religious illiteracy, and inability to take faith seriously for one’s self or others, makes it difficult for people in education or government to grasp the problem.
Hussein, I pray for the arab and muslim world every day – I will pray for you by name and will see you in Heaven. May God protect you and your family!
Nancy Perkins says
I taught school in three Muslim countries and I forgot they need our prayers. Your post reminded me of praying for them. Many Muslims after hearing about Jesus and his love convert. Allah is not a God and there is no love involved, just rules. It’s very sad. The children hear daily about death. The Quran says killing, stealing, raping, beheadings, stoning and sueing is ok. Sad way to live. Thanks
Frank Anderson says
Ms. Perkins, if you go back to the origin of “common law” with William the Conqueror, aka Bill the Bastard, law suits were the non-fatal alternative to trial by combat. As little as I care for lawyers, a lawsuit is not in the same category as the other evils, even if not far behind. If honestly and properly conducted, and a really big *IF* under current conditions, lawsuits are *supposed* to be the way to resolve controversies among civilized people. It is sad that you are more correct than not; but please do not lose sight of the “dream” of litigation in a civil society as distinct from the practices of murder and violence among the uncivilized. Sincerely wishing for better days.
Frank Anderson says
I have every reason in my mind to agree with the preceding comments. It looks to me the fair conclusion should be made and then acted upon at every opportunity that while tolerance and limited multiculturalism have a place in society (we are not identical), like all other freedoms and liberties, there should be limits. Tolerance of the teachings, practices and history of a group and ideology that lives for 1400 years to kill, enslave and destroy all the other cultures and societies is nothing less than suicidal. “Love your neighbor as yourself” clearly means not only that you wish for your neighbor that which you wish for yourself; It also means wish for yourself that which you wish for your neighbor. If you would not wish death or slavery for your neighbor, why would you wish or submit to death or slavery for yourself, your family, your society and all future generations?
Keys says
Well said, Frank Anderson.
We have a self-preservation duty to our loved ones and neighbors. Suicide is contrary to “love your neighbor” in my mind.
Frank Anderson says
In the movie Patton, George C. Scott brilliantly portrayed General Patton making the point in the first few minutes of the movie. Martyrdom is absurd. Our goal in the clearest and non-negotiable terms should be our freedom, liberty, and victory over all who would take those away. That is certainly my goal. Thank you.

The antifa apple hasn’t fallen far from the islamic gang mentality tree has it.

God knows, I am *no* fan of the thuggish Antifa, LeftisruiningCanada. But I have not actually heard of them kidnapping and murdering people. Not yet, anyway.
LeftisruiningCanada says
True, and very fair of you to say so.
The ‘not yet’ is most important i think. It won’t take much for the committed ones to feel justified in killing those they consider ‘racist’ or whatever meaningless slur is most in fashion at the time.
I wouldn’t bet on there not being future murderers in the ranks of ‘antifa’. I’ll bet some are already stoked up enough to kill a certain British Bulldog we all know and love.

Grimly, you may be right, LeftisruiningCanada.
And kudos to Tommy Robinson–I presume your reference is to this brave man–for continuing on in the face of this unending violence.

Pere LaChaise says
Hussein made confession of Christ and gladly follows his Way, which may lead to Golgotha. Hussein knows this well and chose it, convicted of Truth as he is. God will protect him and should he die st the hands of the haters of Christ, his blood will witness the Truth, and many more souls will be saved from bondage to the enemy.
This is the Way of the Cross; death and hades have no power against it.
God save Hussein and the suffering Ugandan people!
Lydia Church says
Amen!
If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
“If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.” John 15; 18-20
It is the way of the cross.
And it is SOOOO worth it!!!

Uganda: Sheikh faces death sentence for leaving Islam after revealing he has been a Christian for a decade
…………………….
I hope this man stays safe. He will probably have to leave his “community” if he wants to survive.
Manny says
Of all people, this sheikh should have realized the ramifications of converting. He knew first hand Islam is a murdering cult.
Frank Anderson says
Manny, could he have missed an opportunity to do some real good by keeping his mouth shut about his change of mind? He knew as well or better than most what would be the consequences of his disclosure. We learned in several cases in law school that, “Some things are better left unsaid; and some questions are better left unasked.”
My uncle roared with laughter when he told the story about the little dog who went to sleep on a railroad track with a part of his tail on the rail. Along comes a train which does what is expected to the exposed tail. (Amazing to think the dog would not wake in time to get away free and clear.) The dog wakes up and turns to bark at the train which does what is expected to the poor dog’s head. Moral: Don’t lose your head over a little piece of tail. With all apologies offered to those with vivid imaginations who take offense.
This man had been connected a lifetime with evil and saw the light. He now faces the darkness that he helped perpetuate. “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom; The Love of the Lord surpasses all [human] understanding.” Consider the life story of biblical Ruth.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
The man is not well learned on Islam. He has been more of African traditional religion of Idol worships similar to mithraist christianity, all inspired by thé Satan.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Yes, it seems that so many leaders and teachers of islam know less about it than you do.
What are your credentials Ibrahim?
Frank Anderson says
Left. . ., absolutely brilliant and insightful question!. Well done!
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Lifruinicanada, you mean paper qualifications. Ï started learning Islam from childhood uptil now along thé side of my professional job (ï Will not disclose It).
LeftisruiningCanada says
What i mean is, what makes you think that this teacher or islam understood it less than you do?
Perhaps he understood it better than you do.
Either way, it is wonderful thing that he has renounced islam and come to know Jesus Christ. He will know freedom now.
J D S says
No no no …Ibrahim…….once again you are wrong…as always……
Do yo believe Jesus is a prophet or the messiah?
Probably you answer would be …a prophet……well Jesus said …”Love your neighbor as yourself. How can murdering one’s neighbor relate to that? Muslims are doing that every day…for religious purposes.
You believe Jesus was born of a virgin, under a tree? Who was the father of Jesus……God or man or no father at all?
Educate yourself Ibrahim…don’t listen the “fake news” of Muhammad. (IF HE EVER EXISTED..NO HISTOTIAL PROOF) Educate yourself. Read , study, explore for YOURSELF don’t end up in the Lake of fire that is provided for those who do not find Jesus, and repent…..Jesus is the Messiah, The good Shepherd. I will pray for you.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Jds, you mean by begotten son of God that God had sex with Mary and jesus was conceived ? Islam is saying Jesus was born miraclously without the Union of male and female. so, the question of who was Jésus’father Will not even arise.
Linnte says
It is Islamic Imams who tell you we believe God had sex with Mary to conceive Jesus. The Bible says Gods Spirit entered Mary and she conceived a child. Even your Qur’an says Jibreel breathed into Mary and she conceived. What’s the difference-answer, the Spirit of God made his Word flesh, but Isa of the Qur’an is the son of Jibreel. Just think! Jibreel has a son!
Christians believe in God our Father, Jesus God’s Word made flesh is the son(or body) of God and the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God.

I don’t know why, but reading this made me cry! I guess I get so desperate to hear that Jesus can be found by Muslims! Thank you Jesus for this man, and I’ll add him to my prayer list! And thank you Christine for the article!
Stuart Guppy says
One practical thing we can all do is write a short polite letter to The Muslim Council of Britain expressing our grave concern over the savagery towards Christians and point out that Muslims are living in our free society in Britain where everyone is welcome to celebrate any religion. Why are they not denouncing the murder of christians elsewhere, when muslims are completely free to enjoy their religion here, without interference.
It will be interesting to see if they reply and if so what reasons they give for not denouncing murder and grievous bodily harm, which are criminal offences in the UK for which long custodial sentences can be given.
