Islamic law forbids Christians and other non-Muslims to proselytize and try to convert Muslims. It’s a death penalty offense. Islamic law states that a subject non-Muslim in an Islamic state can be killed if he “leads a Muslim away from Islam.” (Reliance of the Traveller O11.10 (3))
“Muslims Severely Beat Christian for Sharing His Faith,” Morning Star News, September 25, 2024:
NAIROBI, Kenya (Morning Star News) – Muslims in eastern Uganda beat an evangelist on Friday (Sept. 20), leaving him hospitalized with head injuries and a broken hand, sources said.
Robertson Eriot, 41, and fellow evangelist Kefa Mukisa were visiting homes outside of Busia town, seat of the district of the same name, and stopped at the home of an Islamic leader identified as Sheikh Kalimu on the Busia-Kampala road at about 4:30 p.m., Mukisa said.
After they requested permission to enter the homestead, the watchman opened the gate and let them in, and they began sharing the gospel with him, Mukisa said.
“Sheikh Kalimu who was inside the house heard our conversation – he was angered and came out furiously,” Mukisa, 25, told Morning Star News. “He ordered his boys and other Muslims who had come for Islamic fellowship to come out of the room and to discipline us.”
Kalimu shouted, “These are Christians who are out to convert our people to a wrong religion,” according to Mukisa, adding that immediately a number of people came out of the house shouting the jihadist slogan, “Allah Akbar [God is greater].”
“Since the gate was closed, we decided to jump over the fence,” Mukisa said. “I managed to jump over the fence and took off. Unfortunately, Eriot was caught up before he was able to escape over the fence.”
Mukisa said he began shouting for help, and local council leaders and neighbors arrived.
“We entered the homestead, and we found Eriot half-dead in a pool of blood,” he said. “We were able to rush him to the nearby clinic for treatment. Eriot suffered deep head injuries, a fractured left hand and bruises near the thigh of his right leg. He could have been hit with a blunt object and possibly a sharp object.”
They reported the attack to authorities and were waiting for them to act, he said.
Eriot’s wife, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said he is still recuperating at a hospital in Busia….

What will happen to the mozlum thugs….would-be murderers…in a country where people are supposed to be Free to worship as they wish?
Christians are commanded by Christ to ‘preach the good news of the Kingdom’ and to “make disciples of people of all the nations.” If people don’t wish to become disciples or even listen to ‘the good news,’ they can just say no thanks. But mozlums are not content to say no thank you. They lust to shed blood, to injure and murder.
I pray this Christian man can recover and keep his faith in Christ and His heavenly Father. He will be richly rewarded for doing so.
And I’m glad that the other young man escaped injury and could tell others who came to the injured one’s aid.

18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Buddhists, Sikhs, Jains, Hindus, and others in nations about which he knew nothing would surely have said “says who, dude”?

Uganda is NOT a majority Muslim country. Most people in Uganda are NOT Muslims. Uganda is NOT an officially Islamic country.
Therefore one HOPES that those in authority will bring down the full force of the law on Mohammedans who break the – non-Islamic – laws of Uganda and attack people who are merely peacefully explaining their belief system and inviting others to share it, if they so wish.. and who are NOT forcing anybody to join, nor threatening, nor bribing, nor will they (the Christians) attack anyone who says no.
Uganda would be a much more peaceful country if all the Muslims were expelled….or if all the Muslims apostasised.

If o one eliminates the Islamists doing the slaughtering, then the slaughtering continues even of their own with the infidels.

“Today, protestors erected a 15-foot inflatable golden calf that looks like President Trump on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
The group, so-called “Faithful America,” said they did it to protest Family Research Council’s Pray Vote Stand Summit which starts tomorrow.
Unwittingly, this was a prophetic act by this anti-Christian organization. At this year’s Pray Vote Stand Summit, I believe we will be tearing down idols and strongholds that have their grip on our nation, leading us down a path of spiritual and political destruction.
In a statement about the display, the group’s executive director Rev. Nathan Empsall claims that FRC is “replacing Christ with Trump and his pledge to be a vengeful dictator on day one,” and that we are “embracing his conspiracy theories, cruelty, and January 6-style violence of far-right Christian nationalism.””
