Islamic law forbids non-Muslims to proselytize among Muslims. They clearly believe that murdering their opponent is preferable to besting him in debate.
“Evangelist Slain for Leading Muslims to Christ in Uganda,” Morning Star News, September 15, 2023:
NAIROBI, Kenya (Morning Star News) – Muslim extremists on Sept. 6 beat a 33-year-old evangelist to death for leading Muslims to faith in Christ at an event in eastern Uganda, sources said.
After the evangelistic event in Kituuti town, Philip Bere was pulled from his bicycle while returning to Katiryo, Kibuku District and killed when the assailants bashed him with a large rock, an eyewitness said.
Mudenya Sirasi, who had assisted Bere at the evangelistic event, was with him as the two neared Katiryo on the Kataka-Katiryo road. Sirasi said many people accepted Christ at the event, including Muslim women and two young Muslim men.
The two evangelists were ambushed at about 7:40 p.m., he said.
“We heard people talking from both sides of the road at a nearby bush saying, ‘They are the ones who converted our members today – they are not supposed to live, but to be killed,’” Sirasi told Morning Star News. “From nowhere, one man who was stationed in front of us grabbed our bicycle that we were riding on and hit Bere with a blunt object on his back.”
Bere fell as Sirasi jumped off the bike and entered a tunnel under a bridge, where he hid, he said.
“I could see the attackers brutally injuring my friend,” Sirasi said. “One of the attackers hit him with a big stone, and he bled to death.”
When the assailants left, Sirasi found the body of Bere in a pool of blood, he said. He alerted other area Christians and police, and officers took the body to a hospital for postmortem, Sirasi said.
The pastor of Bere’s church, unnamed for security reasons, said officers at the police station in Katiryo, Kibukuand took statements about the killing of the evangelist and that they were searching for the killers, who have gone into hiding.
“Our evangelist was killed because his passion for preaching the good news of Jesus Christ, especially to Muslims,” the pastor told Morning Star News.
Bere was well-known for his preaching among Muslims in Buseeta, Lwatama, Katiryo and other parts in eastern Uganda….

When will they learn the commandment, thou shall not kill. Maybe these guys would like it if it was done to them and many would like to do it.

Amen. I’m tired of these Muslims always being referred to extremists or radicalized…. When they should be referred to as “ faithful Muslims”

Just Muslims will do. Let them prove otherwise.

Well, Muslims will never learn that from their main text, the evil Koran, which tells them to go out and murder non-believers when the opportunity arises, bagsgroove. They won’t learn that from the example of that evil piece of crap, their ideal man, Muhammad, who murdered people Muslims need to ditch islam and join one of the peaceful religions which does tell its members not to kill people. islam definitely does not discourage murderous violence. It never has and it never will..

The cartels and mafia couldn’t do a better job of controlling their opposition than what islam does. If it gets in your way kill it.
