According to Sharia, leaving Islam is a capital offense for Muslims, and preaching to Muslims is a capital offense for non-Muslims. These missionaries could accordingly be put to death.
“Somaliland: Spreading the Christian religion Is a Crime? Police arrest two men,” Geeska Afrika, October 5, 2020:
Somaliland police in northern Somalia have confirmed the conclusion of investigations into cases of suspected christian missionaries.
The two suspects were nabbed last week in Hargeisa following public tips off….
The spokesperson, Faisal His Elmi who spoke to the media said…”They were arrested while trying to deceive and convince locals to quit their Islam religion, immediately the law enforcement officers started investigation and now it complete,” he said.
The officer warned against any attempt to spread any other religion not Islam.
“These guys have been doing for a while but we were waiting for evidence which can us pounce on them, let this be warning to those trying to mislead the public,” he said.
Somalia is a muslim country and [it is not] permissable for non-muslim missionaries to operate in it as both religion and culture of country outlaws the move.
The country allows the christians to live peace and freely as far as they would not interfere with Islam issues.

Those who defect may be openly killed
By anyone else, and the law is fulfilled.
No tolerance ever for other faiths’ mission:
Killing enforces this strict prohibition.

The “revival” of Sharia Law in muslim countries like Somalia is a desperate final DOOMED attempt to stop muslims leaving Islam. Even where Sharia is adopted, muslims can escape and preach back to muslims still in Somalia.:

Islam is doomed.

If Islam is such a wonderful religion, then why do they have laws which prohibit anyone talking about any other belief system and why do they mercilessly follow the death penalty for anyone who leaves their poxy cult?
If your belief in your religion is strong enough then you should be able to stand up on your hind legs and debate them, not simply ban and eliminate any voice who disagrees.
This is simply more proof of the fragility of Islam, in the end, all scams are fragile.
Geoff Stow says
As in my belief any religion as all are a money making scam to control the masses and make money for the masters by instilling a fear of death. Exception probably Buddhism.
Keith O says
And us Pagans!

You can believe whatever you want, Geoff. Only Muslims will try to kill you for it, though.

Arrested for “attempting to deceive,” and attempting to “mislead the public.”
Christians are not doing either of these things…in Truth, the facts are reversed. Christians wish to help people see the Truth and to help them find a way out of the darkness into light, to have a reasoning mind, to see and decide for themselves what is right, not just accepting whatever they are told under threats.
If the police really arrested those who “deceive and mislead,” they would be arresting all devout moslims, all imams, all clerics, every moslim who “teaches” islam to another, including school children.
Somalia is a bizarro country. They have it all backward. And just think, ilhan omar, rep for islam in the House, is from there and wants this country to be another Somalia.

Somaliland: Two Christians arrested for preaching to Muslims
……………..
There is no freedom of speech in Islam. I hope these poor Christians are freed, but they likely will not be.

Exactly how muslims feel about Christians in America, people wake up!
