“Muslim Extremists Attack Pastor, Son in Uganda,” Morning Star News, March 22, 2023:
NAIROBI, Kenya (Morning Star News) – Muslim extremists on March 15 seriously injured a pastor and his 14-year-old son as they were preparing for an all-night prayer vigil at their church site in eastern Uganda, sources said.
Pastor John Balidawa, 35, and his son were hospitalized after a mob of Muslim extremists attacked them after 8 p.m. and destroyed their church building in Kigulu village, Mayuge District, he said.
Pastor Balidawa and his son, Gilbert Sanja, were setting up for the all-night prayer vigil of Ebenezer Christian Center when they heard stones hitting the roof of the church structure, he said. Then six Muslim extremists entered, with Sheikh Shafi Mukama ordering the father and son to leave, while other from the mob kept watch outside, the pastor said.
“When I refused to obey their orders, the sheikh and two others started slapping me and then pushed me to the floor and thereafter stepped on my stomach,” Pastor Balidawa told Morning Star News. “Others started boxing my son, who started wailing and crying for help. For me and my son to survive is by God’s grace.”
Beaten unconscious, the pastor awoke alongside his son in a hospital in Buluuba to find the church’s senior pastor, 39-year-old Gerald Kato Wakabi, standing beside their bed. Pastor Balidawa learned that the assailants took their mobile phones and destroyed them along with the church building and its more than 70 chairs, he said.
Pastor Balidawa sustained a broken leg, a broken bone in his hand, swelling in his face and injuries to his intestines and stomach, Pastor Wakabi said. Pastor Balidawa’s son suffered a deep cut on his forehead, a broken bone in his right hand and swelling of his face.
Pastor Wakabi said on March 16 he found a written note at the site of demolished church that read, “No more church in this area. This area is holy ground for Allah’s worship only.”…
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.

“Muslim extremists ” as opposed to the mozlums who live where there are fewer of them, and perhaps a governmental body and police to damper their demonic spirit.
I do hope and pray this young man and his young son, heal in body, mind, heart and spirit as they realize **why** they were attacked and their church destroyed.
Jesus said, “The thief (satan) comes to steal, kill and destroy.” satan’s children are carrying out their father’s desires…to “steal, kill and destroy.”

The only way this will stop is if we get western leaders to realize Islam is today’s Nazism. These Muslims prove time and time again you cannot negotiate or live in harmony with an evil death cult. Muslims have made it an ‘us vs them’ issue so we must act accordingly.
These sneaky bastards play innocent when they are outnumbered but their true evil side comes out when they outnumber us.
Muslims falsely claim that the pray to the same god as the Christians, but this behavior clearly proves they know Christians worship a different god or at the very least they are misguided.
Well at least we can see there would be any unity among Muslims and any other religion or ideology, except Leftism for the moment, until Muslims get what they want and will do away with them.
If your Christian God is real, how do you explain why Muslims get away with beating/torturing/killing Christians?
1-your God is powerless, so why worship a weak god, esp. one that claims to be there for you?
2-this is your God’s plan, no point in praying, since it won’t make any difference and let yourselves be killed by Muslims or defend yourselves.
3-your God is evil and enjoys seeing his ‘flock’ suffer. Maybe he prefers Muslims.
4-your God either absent, dead or he’s simply not real. The fact that so much evil exists in the world begs the question why a loving god would allow that. If I could stop evil from happening, I would.
So either Christian theists have their god all wrong or maybe the simplest answer is the right one, that there is no god, he’s just a man-made mistake like the 6,000 other gods that people used to worship but don’t anymore.
I’m sure people will find some lame excuses to dismiss why their God never shows up, but you should evaluate this using cold, hard reason and not emotion…then you’ll arrive at the same conclusion we Atheists have.
Which means at the end of the day there are no gods supporting our team, it’s up to us (non-Muslims collectively) to stop Islam or let the world be dragged back to the Dark Ages by these psycho barbarians.
