“O you who believe, do not choose your fathers or your brothers for friends if they take pleasure in disbelief rather than faith. Whoever among you takes them for friends, such people are wrongdoers.” (Qur’an 9:23)
“It is not for the prophet and those who believe to pray for the forgiveness of idolaters, even though they may be near relatives, after it has become clear that they are companions of the blaze.” (Qur’an 9:113)
“Muslim Sheikh Poisoned after Converting to Christianity,” Morning Star News, April 8, 2022:
NAIROBI, Kenya (Morning Star News) – A former sheikh (Islamic teacher) in eastern Uganda was poisoned on Saturday (April 2), shortly after his wife learned he had converted to Christianity, he said.
Hiire Sadiki, 56, of Masjidi Uthuman at Nawanjofu village, Butaleja District, said from his hospital bed that he put his faith in Christ on March 27 after several months of discussions with a Christian pastor.
After he declined to observe the Islamic rituals of Ramadan, his wife noticed him praying in the name of Christ, he said.
“She realized that I had converted to Christianity,” Sadiki said. “She questioned me because of the mode of my praying. I told her that I had believed in Issa [Jesus].”
His wife had studied the Koran at Bugembe Islamic Institute and knew verses about punishment for apostasy, and she left the room and began phoning Muslim leaders, he said. She then returned and started preparing supper.
“After 30 minutes, a lady who is a neighbor arrived and went to the kitchen, and after a short while, she left,” he said.
His pastor told Morning Star news that Sadiki suffered convulsions and vomiting after eating. The former sheikh phoned him, and the pastor went to Sadiki’s house and took him to a hospital.
“As we arrived at the hospital, his conditioned worsened,” the pastor said. “He started having diarrhea with blood, nausea, vomiting and severe abdominal pain.”
Initially Sadiki was diagnosed with food poisoning, and doctors began treating him for ptomaine poisoning. His wife and three children, however, were not affected by the same food, and Sadiki did not respond to medications as his conditions grew worse, the pastor said. Further tests indicated his food was tainted with a toxic substance related to organophosphate insecticides used to kill rats, he said.
“He had lost some amount of blood,” the pastor said. “I then rang his wife. As I began asking about the sheikh and introducing myself, she was so annoyed and started abusing me for converting her husband. She said she did not want to be identified with him because he had become an infidel, and that she was leaving him and going back to her people, that her husband deserved death for forsaking Islam, and that she didn’t want to relate with an infidel.”
She then hung up the phone, he said.
The pastor also phoned Sadiki’s sister-in-law, who told him she was also very bitter, that the family had incurred a great loss from the sheikh leaving Islam and leadership of the mosque, and that they wanted nothing to do with him….
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.

It’s an evil thing, this islam. Women who are mozlum may be raped, beaten, forced to do exactly as their abusive husbands, fathers, brothers, mothers, uncles and cousins wish them to. and these guys don’t get poisoned for their evil and cruel treatment.
but, just let a woman find out that her husband no longer bows to the evil because he has put his faith in Christ Jesus and what does she do? poisons him. Christianity takes away the beatings, the raping, the constant demands that the wife do exactly as the husband wishes, but these slaves to the devil would rather live with the mozlum male who will beat them if they even have an idea the woman might not be obedient.
Evil business. This woman could have been free of islam, but she chose to rat out her husband and try to kill him. satan’s way or no way is her way.

Grimly true, Somehistory.

The wife of the sheikh preferred to be enslaved under Islamic misogyny as do many brainwashed Muslim women.
These women suffer from the Islamic Stockholm syndrome … a condition in which the female victims identify with their victimizers in order to negotiate a more favorable outcome for themselves.
Such Muslim women feed the ‘crocodile’ of Islam, hoping he will kill them last.

Uganda: Muslim sheikh becomes Christian, his Muslim relatives and neighbor poison him
…………….
Note that this wasn’t just this poor man’s hideous wife, but many in the Muslim community who believed they have the right to murder him for daring to leave Islam.
Will Ugandan authorities prosecute this case? I hope he leaves the area for his own safety–not that he should have to, of course, but these thugs are not likely to stop trying to kill him.

Sharia law gives anyone the right to execute an apostate from Islam. Sharia law imposes NO PUNISHMENT on a person (Muslim or not) who murders or executes an apostate from Islam.
Sharia Law: The killer of an apostate is not punished:
– Reliance of the Traveller (manual of Sharia law), ref. O8.4 : “There is no indemnity for killing an apostate (O: or any expiation, since it is killing someone who deserves to die).”
– Reliance of the Traveller: O1.2 – “The following are not subject to retaliation: -3- a Jewish or Christian subject of the Islamic state for killing an apostate from Islam (O: because a subject of the state is under its protection, while killing an apostate from Islam is without consequences)”
Kay says
The Muslin monsters who did this must be punished!
OLD GUY says
Yes, kill them this is the answer to anyone leaving Islam. And the west is worried about being islamophobic, Islam is not worried about anything but world domination of everyone.
