Islamic law forbids non-Muslims to proselytize among Muslims on pain of death.
“When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (Qur’an 47:4)
“Pastor Slain after Leading Muslims to Christ at Religious Debate,” Morning Star News, May 12, 2021:
NAIROBI, Kenya (Morning Star News) – Muslim extremists in eastern Uganda are suspected in the May 3 killing of a Christian pastor hours after he engaged in a public debate about Christianity and Islam, sources said.
Pastor Thomas Chikooma, a resident of Komolo village, Pallisa town, was killed after he was invited to an open-air debate in Pallisa, where he had led 14 people, including six Muslims, to faith in Christ, relatives said.
Area Muslims had invited the independent Pentecostal church pastor to participate in the debate at a taxi park in the town where they had been holding public discussions for about a month.
After offering a defense of Christianity at the debate using the Bible and the Koran and leading the people to receive Christ, angry Muslims began shouting the jihadist slogan, “Allah Akbar,” or “Allah is greater,” compelling him to rush away from the venue with his son, relatives said.
“Two motorcycles carrying two Muslims each and dressed in Islamic attire speedily bypassed us,” his minor son told Morning Star News. “When we were 200 meters to reach our house, the two motorcycles stopped at the junction opposite Nalufenya primary school and the road near our house.”
The pastor became suspicious and told him to follow at a distance, and he saw his father speaking with the motorcyclists and two other men, his son said.
“Immediately some commotion began as the men started talking about the open-air debate, and soon one of them slapped my father,” he said. “I got scared and fled through our cassava plantation and arrived at home.”
His mother, Jessica Naikomba, arrived home an hour later, and they returned to the scene with some neighbors but did not find anyone, Naikomba said.
“As we continued doing the search, we found my husband in a pool of blood, beheaded and his tongue removed,” Naikomba told Morning Star News….
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.

Tragic. Tragic. Why isn’t this covered by MSM? no comfort to the Pastor or his kith & kin, but this shows Muslims & Islam have lot their argument. What are the West & Leaders going to do about it all? Got it! Simply Appease & Kow-Tow.

Very good question MSM and western leaders are to busy covering Palestinian Hamas propaganda protest to care about Christian pastors being tortured and killed Christians are dying in the Middle East Asia Africa and the trash sick leaders do nothing but echo Palestinian lies
Rob Porter says
Boycott – Was asking the same question when reading JCA’s blog. The dishonesty and cowardice that afflicts the Western MSM media is astounding. Most Western leaders are “trash, sick leaders”, one exception Viktor Orban of Hungary who knows full well the sickness if Islam. To some extent Denmark has woken up, but let’s see how much courage their leaders have when the EU makes demands
Walter Sieruk says
Islam is so very weak and fragile by nature that the imams can’t out debate a Christian pastor into silence. .So they silence him by cutting out his tongue .
Keys says
Islam, the religion of peace, acting in the name of Allah their peaceful God.
Allahu akbar ! Our God is greater (than your God) ! Here’s proof of his power.
Let all the Earth see this and hear of it, then the inhuman, graceless actions of these murderous devils will result in more Muslims leaving Islam than this Pastor could ever imagine.
Pope Francis, please repeat your words, “It’s not fair to identify Islam with violence. It’s not fair and it’s not true.”, so that everyone can know the truth about Islam and about you. Don’t believe that near 1400 years of terror and violence in the name of Muslim-Allah-Mohammad is an illusion.

They “invited” him to the debate and when he “won” it by “leading people to Christ,” the mozlum scum, filthy sacks of slug dung, murdered him
I feel sorrow for his young son and his wife. But, Christ will remember this man and what he did and he will receive a rich reward for his work and his sacrifice. At least he kept his little boy safe.
The mozlums, children of satan, will get what’s Justice for them and it won’t be long now in coming.

[Muslims behead and remove tongue of pastor]
Were they afraid that even the decapitated head would speak of the Truth, the Way, and the Life?

Uganda: Muslims behead and remove tongue of pastor who debated Muslims and converted them to Christianity
……………..
This *poor man*.
God, I hate Islam.
Johnny B says
If stories like this were reported in our own MSM maybe people would not continue to be so gullible regarding Islam. But the powers that be wants to hide what this inhuman ideology really is really all about.

Hey Robert! Get rid of that hideous advert with the women’s face zooming in back and forth and jumping about, I have no idea what it is about and I don’t want to know.
I have a specially sized word ‘new document’ permanently on the task bar that I can click on and it jumps into position to mask the advert over but that horrible advert needs to be GONE just the same.
Infidel says
Fully second this. That toenail fungus ad is pretty disgusting to watch, and distracting as well!
gravenimage says
Greg, I haven’t seen any ad like this. This may have more to do with your own web history than with jw per se.
But yes–I do get the disgusting toe fungus ads–I think *everyone* gets those. I also get lots of ads about “the one vegetable you should not eat!”, probably because I often search for vegan recipes.
I think we’d all prefer a no-ad format–but then jw could not afford to function. I’d rather put up with some ugly and distracting ads than have this site go dark.
OLD GUY says
Can you imagine the coverage by the media if a group of Methodist did this horrible crime to a Muslim/Islamic iman? It would be front page news, with total outrage. But when islam is involved it is a non-story. Has Islamic violence become so common place that it no longer is considered worth reporting? Or is the modern media afraid of reprisals financially and from violence if they report these islamic atrocities? Freedom of the press and speech seem to be stifled by islam.

Too true, OLD GUY.
