On February 6th, Muslim relatives of a Christian evangelist, Malingumu Bruhan, 34, beat him and tied him up so he could be be burned to death after he returned home for a funeral. “My uncle accused me of embarrassing them by holding Christian evangelistic, open-air meetings and debates with Muslims.” “He accused me of being an infidel by converting to Christianity, and that Allah will reward them in Jannah [garden paradise] if they kill me.”
Morning Star News (h/t Nita) An evangelist well-known in Mbale, Iganga, Jinja and Kampala for his public debates with Muslims about Christianity and Islam, Bruhan has survived 11 murder attempts, he said.
“He said to me that it is now the right time for me to receive punishment from Allah, whereby I was going to be burned alive and the birds of the air will enjoy me as their meat,” Bruhan said.
As Bruhan continued keeping silent, his uncles’ anger grew, he said. “They started beating me up as others gathered firewood, while another was sent to go for petrol because they wanted to use it to burn me alive,” Bruhan said.
As his uncles were waiting for the fuel, another convert from Islam who had accompanied Bruhan to the funeral came looking for him but was told he was nowhere in the vicinity, he said. The friend spied Bruhan’s shoe, which had come off as his uncles dragged him off for slaughter, Bruhan said.
“My friend made several phone calls after finding my shoe, and they arrived and started searching for me,” he said. “They found me behind the house about 100 meters away, tied and with firewood around me. They tried calling the police, which scared the attackers, and they fled.”
Having sustained head injuries, Bruhan was taken to a clinic at Bulumba town, then later transferred to another area undisclosed for security reasons. “By God’s grace I overcame the Muslims’ planned attacks,” Bruhan said.
His Muslim relatives had ostracized him in 2017 following his conversion, saying that as an apostate he had brought shame to the family, he said.
“When I was chased, I went on foot, slept in the bush and survived on wild fruits for two months,” Bruhan said. “I still trust God to heal me and for divine protection for my life. The church has been a comfort to me. Pray for me so that I recover from the head injuries and will be able to continue with the work of sharing Christ with the lost.”
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.
The assault was the latest of many instances of persecution of Christians in Uganda that Morning Star News has documented.

David Grisez says
Islam is the only ideology that is both a religious system and a government system that has included in its teaching the death penalty for islamic apostasy. This is an evil system where Muslim families will murder family members for apostasy. This practice goes on throughout the Muslim world.

A Fascist Religious Cult… There is no other words to describe it, though Satanic also fits the title.
These backward morons must be extremely shallow in their own faith that somebody disagreeing with them or leaving that faith is such a major threat to them.

Quran (8:12)”I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them”
The BLOODTHIRSTY Quran Book of DEATH, DESTRUCTION and WAR instructs Muslims to perpetrate SATANIC RITUAL ABUSE TORTURE MURDERS on Jews, Christians and all non Muslims.
Muslims HATE our Glorious, Majestic, Awesome Creator, the Righteous HOLY ONE, the One True God. Pure, Holy, and Absolutely Good who dwells in unapproachable light.
Muslims HATE God’s Holy, eternal Laws that He gave to His faithful Jewish servant Moses, thousands of years before the GENOCIDAL, BLOOD CONQUEST Cult of Islam was invented.
Muslims believe that by breaking God’s Eternal, Unchanging Law: “YOU SHALL NOT MURDER”, that warlord Mohammad’s dark death god will reward them with 72 virgins in ISLAMIC RAPE HEAVEN.
Muslims especially hate Christians and God’s Chosen People the Jews, because it was to Jews that God gave His Laws and Ten Commandments and it was to Jews that God gave the Book of Life, the eternal Word of the Living God.

Bible, Exodus 20
The Ten Commandments
20 Then God spoke all these words, saying,
2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
3 “You shall have no other gods before Me.
4 “You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth. 5 You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but showing loving kindness to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
7 “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain.
8 “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath of the Lord your God; in it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter, your male or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day and made it holy.
12 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be prolonged in the land which the Lord your God gives you.
13 “You shall not murder.
14 “You shall not commit adultery.
15 “You shall not steal.
16 “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
17 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife or his male servant or his female servant or his ox or his donkey or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”
