Islamic law forbids non-Muslims to lead Muslims away from Islam (cf. Reliance of the Traveller o11.10).
“Christian College Student in Uganda Slain for Sharing Christ,” Morning Star News, May 1, 2023:
NAIROBI, Kenya (Morning Star News) – A Christian college student was killed in northern Uganda on April 14 for sharing about Christ with Muslims, a fellow student said.
Jeremiah Mwanga, a second-year student at the Uganda Christian School of Professionals in Lira, Northern Region, was killed in his room at the school in Gwangabara cell, Boroboro ward, East Division in Lira. He was 24.
Mwanga was a native of Kapchorwa District, in eastern Uganda, where the Muslim student at the school charged with killing him also lived.
“Jeremiah complained about messages from one of the students threatening to kill him for misleading Muslims by preaching to them the gospel of Christ as well as converting them to the Christian faith in the school,” a friend of the deceased told Morning Star News. “He requested prayers from the Christian Union fellowship.”
The friend, whose name is withheld for security reasons, said that on April 14 he heard screaming from a room on the school premises at about 10 p.m.
“After 30 minutes I rushed to the scene of incident and found out that it was Jeremiah’s room,” he said. “Inside the room was a pool of blood.”…
The friend requested he be given Mwanga’s personal effects, including his mobile phone.
“Going through the phone, I found out that the threatening message was from a Muslim student who happened to come from Kapchorwa also,” he said. “I then took the phone to the school administration who reported the matter to the police.”
The suspect, identified only as Chengalat, was missing from the school. Police in Lira contacted officers at the Kapchorwa town police post, who arrested Chengalat in the town. Chengalat was brought to Lira to face murder charges, the friend of the deceased said….
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.

Why was the mozlum murderer attending a Christian school if he didn’t want to hear about Christ?
Guessing the ‘friend” was afraid for his own life if he went to see what had happened only after waiting a half hour.
mozlums can’t be trusted. It’s sad that one cannot share their faith with mozlums without the risk of being murdered, but Jesus warned us in the 24 chapter of Matthew that this would be the case. He said on several occasions recording in the Gospels that the “world hates” Him and His disciples; sometimes, oftentimes, the hate leads to persecution and murder.

Yeah, why do Christian colleges, be it in Uganda or anywhere else, admit non-muslim students at all? They should make it explicit to parents that their admissions are only for Christians. That sidesteps a whole lot of grief

I know with some schools, it once was that way; may still be at a few. The students had to agree to take the religious classes and abide by the rules of the school on such things, or they had to actually be from a Christian household. And so did the instructors.
It’s insane to admit people who want to murder you for expressing a belief, and that belief is what this school was all about.

Ah, the Disciples of the Religion of Peace, Love and Divine Enlightenment who are mandated to venerate the Lord Jesus Christ as a Prophet equal to their own Messenger of the Almighty and to respect all Christ’s followers as brothers and sisters in faith. And, as I type this, a flock of halal pigs flies serenely through the blue skies over London Town.

Such a tyrannical political ideology these followers of the mass murdering pedophile.
Walter Sieruk says
Those Muslim must not be able to refute the Gospel message delivered to them by that Christian college student so they murder the messenger.
This ,therefore, is a deady example of the vicious violence of Islam and thaI Islam terribly lack vaid arguments to uphold it because it’s built of a foundation of sand.
