Uganda: Muslims murder pastor, say he ‘ought to die for using the Koran and saying Allah is not God but an evil god’

Nov 14, 2020 3:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 26 Comments

The well-known 64 year-old Ugandan radio preacher and pastor, David Omara, was beaten to death in an ambush by six offended Muslims, thereby proving the point that he was making on his radio broadcast.

Yet again, the message is that non-Muslims must beware of openly offending Muslims. The consequences (“sentence”) for doing so do not need to be established in a court. Punishments for insulting Islam — from leaving it to criticizing it — are religiously sanctioned, or so those who believe in Sharia assume.

“Muslims Ambush, Kill Pastor after Radio Broadcast in Uganda,” Morning Star News, November 6, 2020:

NAIROBI, Kenya (Morning Star News) – Muslim extremists killed a pastor in northern Uganda on Saturday (Oct. 31) after he compared Christianity and Islam in a radio broadcast, sources said.

David Omara, 64-year-old pastor of Christian Church Center and a well-known radio preacher in the area, was beaten and strangled after finishing his broadcast in Aduku, Kwania District at about 9 p.m., according to his son, Simon Okut.

“Immediately after his preaching, someone telephoned my father appreciating his presentation,” Okut told Morning Star News by phone. “He then requested him to meet somewhere with some of his friends. We left the radio station. As we arrived at the said place, there came out of the bush six people dressed in Islamic attire, and they started strangling and beating my father with blunt objects.”

As they beat him, one of the assailants said, “This man ought to die for using the Koran and saying Allah is not God but an evil god collaborating with satanic powers,” Okut said. “As they were hitting my father with blunt objects and strangling him, I fled to save my life. Two attackers ran after me but could not get hold of me.”

Area residents were shocked and saddened by the murder, and church members were both fearful of further Islamist violence and sorrowful as they mourned at a tearful burial on Wednesday (Nov. 4).

“My mother wept and fainted and collapsed with deep groaning and is admitted in the hospital,” Okut said….

The killing was the latest of many instances of persecution of Christians in Uganda that Morning Star News has documented.

Uganda’s constitution and other laws provide for religious freedom, including the right to propagate one’s faith and convert from one faith to another. Muslims make up no more than 12 percent of Uganda’s population, with high concentrations in eastern areas of the country.

    12% of Ugandas muslim population harassing the remaining 88% and as usual nobody can do anything about it . No military , no police no law enforcement absolutely no one will take action but if you make a derogatory comment about islam on faceboook or some other social media outlets no matter how justified , law enforcement will be after you especially in the enlightend western countries.

    According to the feature article:

    ” *Muslim extremists* killed a pastor in northern Uganda”

    A more accurate description would be:

    *Devout muslims* killed a pastor in northern Uganda…

      You nailed it succinctly, James. Oh, if only a ton more of non-Muslims would know what you know about Islam. And respecting such important knowledge, Biden can definitely be counted out.

    Two possibilities: Allah is either a fiction or, if existent, wicked. I am convinced it’s the former but if the latter then we do indeed live in a dangerous and even creepy universe.

      Yes , I also believe that there are only two options when it comes to divinity , a god can be either good or evil , love or hate , moral or immoral , just or unjust , there is nothing in between . Now there is one thing I’m sure of , allah isn’t good , love , moral or just weather he exist or not .

    88% of Ugandans are Christians, and only 12% are Muslims? Yet the Christians keep being killed, and there is no response to Muslim violence. What’s wrong with this picture? Go after those who are killing you. Don’t turn the other cheek. Instead take advice from the Talmud: “If someone is coming to kill you, rise against him and kill him first.”

      Hugh Fitzgerald,

      Christian should not misinterpret “turn the other cheek”.

      To your point, a good article appearing on the “Desiring God” website addressing why Christians do not have to be pacifists in regards to confronting true evil.

      Seems balanced and well thought out, at least from my perspective.

      That’s what came to my mind, gravenimage. Yeah, that’s the way to prove that the Muslim version of what god is not “an evil god”, you go and murder someone. But that’s Islam. A vile religious cult that gives its followers a licence to go out and kill people. Their mentality always seems to be about terrorising people like a bunch of thugs and bullies. That’s surely what all these attacks are about. You step out of line ( by daring to do something as horrendous as drawing a cartoon of the scumbag, Muhammad, or doing the absolutely terrible things this pastor has done) the Muslims will kill you. I’m with you in hating Islam. It is such an evil curse that has, unfortunately, infected a huge number of people in the world. The behaviour of Muslims (such as this atrocity) shows over and over again what a vicious, evil version of god they believe in. But such behaviour , no doubt, keeps a lot of people terrified.

        True, Tim. Of course, Muslims care nothing about irony–they just want to shut up any ciriticism of Islam.

          Yes, gravenimage, it is just straight out intimidation and terror that Muslims indulge in. They are Mafia- like scum. There’s no sitting down and arguing about whether their religion is right or someone else’s religion is right. Maybe they know that their version of god and their whole backward, barbaric version of religion is hopeless and wrong, so they just go straight for the jugular and murder and bully people. They’ve got nothing else.

    This is a classic example of islamic tolerance.
    If i tell a muslim fellow that I think his religion is very violent and he then attacks me very violently for saying this, then is he, and his five buddies, being good muslims by proving my point.
    They are cowards, silly wee boys pretending they are men as its always five against one and they come from behind… cowards…

        This stotry has been widely reported. Is this Muslim pretending that David Omara has–what? Gone into hiding, or been murdered by Infidels, in order to make Muslims look bad? Never mind that Muslim mob that committed this atrocity in tne first place. Try again, Mohammedan.

    The religious heirarchy say one thing to their faithful, and another to the west.
    That’s why they can whip up anti-western hatred, and complain when anyone points it out. Like in australia, when a man was prosecuted for publishing a verse from quran – his crime was “hate speech”.

    But most of all pursue the murders and turn them to you, Father!

    And these islamic people are the ones Biden and Harris want to bring to America. If someone wants to or threatens to KILL you, why would you open the door and let them in.
    It appears the DIM’s will put up with anything to get a few votes.

    And to all you WOMEN who voted for Biden/Harris I hope it doesn’t come back and bite you with sharia type laws that will take your freedoms away.

    That Christian pastor of Uganda who has Muslims wanting to murder him because as the Bibles does explain the god of this world had blinded eyes of the non-Christians, Second Corinthians 4:4.

    That god of this world, the Bible teaches is Satan. In this specific case this Christian pastor had only taught the true and that evil god Satan, Allah, has blinded the Muslims to the truth so they are offend by this pastor so they want to kill him.

    The false god of Islam and therefore the false god

    The God of the Bible is not really Allah the god of Islam. To explain, through the passing of time it has become widely accepted that the word “Allah” is just the Arabic word for God. This started when truth compromising Bible “translators” substituted the word Allah where the word God should have had been uses in the Arabic translation of the Bible.

    Furthermore, in the glossary in the book ASSASSINS! By Dr. Haha Lung it defines Allah as the “Pre-Islamic Lunar god : the god of Islam. “ Likewise, in the book entitled INSIDE ISLAM by a former Muslim who is now a Christian, Reza F. Safa ON PAGES 22, 23 it reads, “In pre-Islamic times both Allah –worship and Baal-worship involved the worship of the sun, the moon and the stars which h defines them as astral religions. [Which are condemned in the Bible, Second Kings 23:5] The crescent moon, which was the symbol of moon worship, is also the symbol of Islam.” In conclusion, the Islamic god, Allah, is not the God of the Bible.

    The words in brackets are my own.

    In addition other some other books that expose this little known truths are WHO IS THIS ALLAH ? by G..J.O.. Moshay also UNVEILING ISLAM by Ergun Mehmet caner and Emir Fethi Caner and THE ISLAMIC INVASION by Robert Morey . There is also PHILISTINE by Ramon Bennett and ANSWERING JIHAD by Mabeel Qureshi .

    The Christian pastor has only spoken and those Muslims, who heard him, in their Islamic blindness, did not like what he said and so they want to murder him.

    First, the god of the Qu ‘ran and Islam is not the same god and the God of the Bible and Christianity. As Allah is likewise the god Baal is. Second, , In the Bible it gives the account of the Prophet Elijah declared “If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal be ,then follow him.” First Kings 18:21.[N.K.J.V.]

    In other words follow one of the other. Not both . Second, , many people say that the God of the Bible and the god of Islam are one the same. Is the majority always right? That’s not always the case. As an example the Christian pastor and scholar, Michael Youssef, who is also an Arab in his book entitled JESUS, JIHAD AND PEACE on page 69 informs the reader that “The name Allah comes from pre-Islamic times, and it corresponds to the Babylonian mane Bel or Baal. According to the Middle East scholar E.M. Wherry, pre-Islamic Arabs worshiped gods they called Allah. Both pre-Islamic Allah-worship and Baal –worship involved worship of the sun, the moon and the stars, which is why they are called astral religions. The crescent moon, the symbol of pagan moon worship, is also the symbol of Islam. It is printed on flags of many Islamic countries and placed atop minarets and mosques.”

    Second, a former Muslim who is now a Christian, Dr. Daniel Shayesteh, who used to live in the Middle East but now he lives in America . In his book ISLAM AND THE SON OF GOD. On pages 7,8. Reads “Allah is the generic term for God in many Middle –Eastern cultures. Allah is identified as one of the 360 or so idols worshiped by the Arabian people for centuries before Muhammad was born. Many do not know that Allah was the good god of the Arabians. This explains the crescent moon found on minarets and mosques and the flags of Muslim nations. .. .Historic writings also identify Allah with Baal.” It’s also worth mentioning that the Bible condemns such astral religions. As in, for example, Second Kings 23:5. Therefore, now in modern times, it may be rightly said “If Yahweh Lord of the Bible , be the one True God follow Him. Yet if Allah the lord of Islam be the one true god then follow him.” The case is very clear cut.
