Somalia: Christian Leader Killed
On Sept. 28 an Islamic extremist shot and killed Mariam Muhina Hussein, an underground church leader, after discovering six Bibles in her possession, according to Compass Direct News.
The day before the shooting, a leader of the Islamic extremist group al Shabaab reportedly sent his wife to visit Hussein's home in Marerey villange. She pretended she was interested in learning about Christianity. During the visit, Hussein read passages of the Bible and told the woman that she could visit regularly to discuss God's Word, according to Compass.
The following day, the al Shabaab leader, identified as Sheikh Arbow, went to Hussein’s house with several other men and requested a Bible. When Hussein gave one to him, he revealed that he was looking for "Christians who have defiled the Islamic religion" and ordered her to show him the other Bibles that she owned. When she handed them over, Arbow shot her three times, killing her instantly.
In recent weeks, several Christians in Somalia have been killed because of their faith in Christ. The Voice of the Martyrs rejoices in the life of Mariam Muhina Hussein. Praise God for her faithfulness. VOM encourages you to pray that those who mourn for her will draw near to Christ for comfort. Pray that God will grant Somali Christians encouragement and strength as they face trials for their Christian witness. Also pray that God will draw persecutors into fellowship with Him.

“Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.” Matthew 5:10-11
“But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you...” Matthew 5:44
This is the face of fundamental Islam and Sharia law when they reach their end game and take control of a society. The anti-thesis of liberty, unalienable rights, and republican principle.
Anyone interested in the truth about Islamic Jiahd, and how it is a main stream of the belief system and not something a small group of them has perverted, should get and read the book:
"The Legacy of Jihad," by Andrew G. Bostom.
Make sure your read the entire Preface and Forward. The book is absolutely critical in understanding the true aims of Islam as moved forward by Mohammed, its historical precedent, and what a danger fundamental ISlamic "government" represent to us all, our way of life, our liberty, and our very life.
Behold the spirit of antichrist... which is the spirit of Islam.
More Satanic evil from the Death Cult. RIP.
