“He had told them he would act to fulfill Islamic law since they had rejected Islam when they converted to Christianity on Aug. 26.”
He did indeed act in accord with Islamic law. The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law. The fact that Muhamud was the father of these girls makes no difference. The Qur’an depicts Abraham saying to his non-Muslim relatives: “We have done with you. And there has arisen between us and you hostility and hatred forever, until you believe in Allah alone.” (60:4).
The death penalty for leaving Islam is based on the Qur’an: “They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause of Allah. But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them and take not from among them any ally or helper.” (Qur’an 4:89)
A hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him” (Bukhari 9.84.57). The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law according to all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence.
This is still the position of all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence, both Sunni and Shi’ite. Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the most renowned and prominent Muslim cleric in the world, has stated: “The Muslim jurists are unanimous that apostates must be punished, yet they differ as to determining the kind of punishment to be inflicted upon them. The majority of them, including the four main schools of jurisprudence (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi’i, and Hanbali) as well as the other four schools of jurisprudence (the four Shiite schools of Az-Zaidiyyah, Al-Ithna-‘ashriyyah, Al-Ja’fariyyah, and Az-Zaheriyyah) agree that apostates must be executed.”
“Muslim Father Attempts to Burn Christian Daughters Alive,” International Christian Concern, September 15, 2026:
At around midnight on Sept. 6, Amina and Shamila were inside their home in Kibenge, Kasese District, Uganda, when their house was set on fire.
Their father, Muhamud, had doused the house with petrol, then set it alight while the girls slept inside. He had told them he would act to fulfill Islamic law since they had rejected Islam when they converted to Christianity on Aug. 26.
The girls awoke to the smell of paraffin and the sight of flames surrounding them.
“We saw flames of fire consuming our house quietly,” Amina said. “We now started looking for Plan B to escape death.”
The girls barely escaped in time….
The girls survived the fire, which destroyed almost everything they owned. Their mattresses, clothes, and other personal belongings were burned. They escaped from the flames with their lives, but they lost the few belongings they had….

Islam. The religion of peace. What a laugh
Huh!?! says
Prayerfully, Christians in the area will shelter them. Just another of the endless examples of how demonic Islam is. The Holy Bible tells the world that whomever harms one of these little ones, it would be better for a millstone to be tied around the neck and cast into the sea. This father is going to run into this on his day of judgement.

Yes he will reap as he has sown.

Yes, indeed. May he repent and turn to Christ so this family can be restored. But if not, Jesus WILL deal with him one day.
Walter Sieruk says
This reveals the colossal disparately because the adherents of Christianity and Islam .
For if a Christian father had daughters who had been proselyted to Islam , a Christian father would pry for his daughters ,or ant the very worst shun them.
In contrast, If a Muslim had daughter’s who had left Islam because they had converted to Jesus , a Muslims father would kill them, In this specific case in Uganda , that Muslim father attempted to murder them is the most cruel way possible
The difference between the father in Christianity and Islam is outstanding and vast. Jesus to teach “By their fruits you will recognize them”. Mathew 7:20. [N.i.V.]
Walter Sieruk says
What father Muslim father tried to do this daughters for their conversion from Islam to Christianity further exposes two things
First, it reveals the cruel vicious sand death inflecting nature of Islam.
Second , this exposed that Islam is , in essence , a very fragile and weak religion because it can’t be upheld by reason , logic and the Bible. Therefore , devout Muslims use the threat of extreme duress threat of death cause Muslim who might leave Islam from doing so. Likewise, the murder of people who have already left Islam for another faith . really shows the frangible nature of Islam , so much that coercion is deemed necessary to keep Muslims within “the House of Islam.”

Jesus promised that whatever we *lose* for being faithful to Him and His Father, He will restore, and give back more than what is lost.
islime is directly from satan the devil and that demon must be delighted that one of his children is willing to burn his daughters in worship of evil. and there are so very many muzzie scum like this so-called ‘father.’
Mo says
Yes, amen! He sees their faithfulness. I am also glad they were spared injury.
Tim gallagher says
Parental love and care Muslim style. There is no love in Islam, just hate which is all that islam teaches. Islam poisons the human mind with its filth. It is a shame that reports like this never get a run on mainstream media because, if they did, they might get through to all the idiots who continue to think Islam is ok.
bill says
A somewhat lightweight article which fails to mention what if anything has happened to the father. Or the age of the girls. The ICC article is not much more helkp either.
