It could have been worse for Mansitula Buliro. The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law. It’s based on the Qur’an: “They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause of Allah. But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them and take not from among them any ally or helper.” (Qur’an 4:89)
A hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him” (Bukhari 9.84.57). The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law according to all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence.
This is still the position of all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence, both Sunni and Shi’ite. Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the most renowned and prominent Muslim cleric in the world, has stated: “The Muslim jurists are unanimous that apostates must be punished, yet they differ as to determining the kind of punishment to be inflicted upon them. The majority of them, including the four main schools of jurisprudence (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi’i, and Hanbali) as well as the other four schools of jurisprudence (the four Shiite schools of Az-Zaidiyyah, Al-Ithna-‘ashriyyah, Al-Ja’fariyyah, and Az-Zaheriyyah) agree that apostates must be executed.”
Qaradawi also once famously said: “If they had gotten rid of the apostasy punishment, Islam wouldn’t exist today.”
“Woman Loses Family after Responding to Visions, She Says,” Morning Star News, January 22, 2021:
NAIROBI, Kenya (Morning Star News) – Mansitula Buliro was preparing for Muslim evening prayers with her husband in eastern Uganda last week when she had a vision of Christ, she said.
The 13-weeks pregnant, 45-year-old mother of seven said that on that evening of Jan. 13 she first heard a loud voice saying “Yeshua,” Aramaic for Jesus, at her home in Obutete village, Agule County in Pallisa District.
“During the process a certain weakness entered my body, and then I saw a light coming from above, and I heard a loud voice saying, ‘Yeshua’ repeatedly,” Buliro told Morning Star News.
Her husband, shocked, came from the room where he was praying and asked her what had gone wrong, she said.
“I narrated what I saw, plus the voice,” Buliro said. “He immediately got hold of the Arabic Koran and started casting out the evil spirit which he thought had entered me.”
That night, she said, she saw another vision.
“At midnight I saw a bright light and a man dressed in white clothes crossing the river coming towards me, and He said, ‘Peace be upon you – today I have chosen you to be mine,’” she said.
Early the next morning she snuck out and visited her Christian neighbor, whose name is withheld for security reasons, and told her about the visions. The neighbor prayed with her, and Buliro put her faith in Christ, she said.
As Buliro was about to leave, she said, a Muslim neighbor knocked on the door and said, “Mansitula, I thought you were a Muslim – how come I heard prayers mentioning the name of Issa [Jesus]?”
The neighbor, a man, left immediately, and two hours later Buliro returned home. Her husband said to her that he had been told that she was now a Christian, she said.
“I kept quiet,” Buliro said. “My husband started slapping and kicking me indiscriminately. I then fell down. He went inside the house and came back with a knife and started cutting my mouth, saying, ‘Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar [jihadist slogan “God is greater”], I am punishing you to not speak about Yeshua in my house. This is a Muslim home.’”
As she shouted and screamed, her two youngest children, ages 6 and 8, also began screaming, and outdoor workers and neighbors arrived and stopped the attack, she said.
“There was blood all over from my mouth,” Buliro said. “My in-laws arrived, and in their presence my husband pronounced divorce: ‘Today you are no longer my wife. I have divorced you. Leave my house, or I will kill you.’”…

it is another world, completely different parameters, another life, and maybe a different species…some things cannot and will not match. I say this because I have no other way of grasping the utter and ruthless, incomprehensivle cruelty and lack of compassion so very often seen amongst these humans.

Accomodating this 1400 year yoke of Islam has made it impossible for these nations to progress. All creative thoughts and actions are squelched under its feet.

Uganda is not even Muslim-majority.

Many former Muslims have reported seeing visions of a Christian nature before they left Islam.

This man never loved his wife
john smith says
True EP, devout muslims don’t even love their children, they have so much hate in them they are incapable of feeling love,
Batran says
Shut up.did u go round in all Muslim home,village and town.islam is different
different from Muslim. Muslims are humans and ev8 behavior is according to their upbringing.

Note that when John Smith says that Muslims don’t even love their children that Muslim apologist Batran does not reply by saying how Muslims love their children–instead, he reacts with aggression. Really, he seems to be a very poor apologist. But then, he has so little to work with.
In fact, Muslims regularly beat and “Honor Kill” their children, force girls into child marriages, and encourage them to blow themselves up in suicide attacks.
Where Muslims do love their children, it is in opposition to the brutal diktats of Islam.
And note that he has not a word of criticism for this Musim’s savage assault in his wife in the story above. No surprise there.
john smith says
I didn’t say all Muslims I said devout Muslims, there is a difference.
When a person has been indoctrinated from the moment they are born in to an ideology of hate, thats all they know.
When a someone has so much hate in their heart they will never feel love, its impossible.
Proud Islamophobe says
moslems have no idea what love is.
Fred van de Bunt says
Maybe some schooling would be an idea for that woman abusing criminal Islam thug?
Oh wait, they do that in China; sending these criminal types to school.
But that is genocide according to our masters, that decide for us what to think. We have to respect this religion of peace and its adherents that behave like woman abusing criminal thugs, otherwise we are racists.
Somehow being a Chinese racist committing genocide seems not such a big crime at all to me?
Kathleen Walsh says
Well said Fred, and straight to the point.

Poor woman, such a ghastly bunch of humans that it makes us, steeped in our civil beliefs, unable to comprehend what their brains are comprised of. Without severe reprogramming this small-minded captive life is all they will ever know. I hope this lady is able to lead a free & lovely life once she has recovered, and able to see & maybe rescue her children from the doom of Islam. The cruelty of these people is beyond belief ! So many hate-filled humans being led by their noses !

Uganda: Muslima converts to Christianity, her husbands beats her and cuts her mouth while screaming ‘Allahu akbar’
……………………
This *poor woman*. But yes–ir could be even worse, and still might be if Mansitula Buliro does not flee the area. I hope she can take her children with her, but realize that probably will not be possible.

Hey these wonderful muslim/islamic people will be coming to an American neighborhood near you soon. Biden and his liberal cronies will sell us to the highest bidder and islam has a lot of oil money to spend. Nothing good can come from opening Americas borders to the muslim/islamic extremeous that will infiltrate our country as they have in Europe.
