Somalia: Christian Decapitated
The Voice of the Martyrs ^ | September 15, 2011 | Compass Direct News

Posted on 09/21/2011 4:08:26 PM PDT by wmfights

After an extensive search, Christians in the Bakool region of southwestern Somalia discovered the decapitated body of kidnapped Christian Juma Naradin Kamil on Sept. 2, 2011. Kamil’s body reportedly bore the marks of an execution by the Muslim terrorist group al-Shabab.

“It is usual for al-Shabab to decapitate those they suspect to have embraced the Christian faith, or sympathizers of Western ideals,” a local Christian told Compass Direct News. “Our brother accepted the Christian faith three years ago and was determined in his faith in God. We greatly miss him.”

On Aug. 21, three suspected al-Shabab terrorists forced Kamil into a car, according to local sources. Many local Christians believe the extremists had closely monitored Kamil before kidnapping and killing him.

Kamil’s body remained unburied for two days because local residents didn’t want al-Shabab to associate them with Christian converts, a local Christian told Compass Direct News. Someone secretly buried Kamil on Sept. 4.

With 3,000 to 7,000 members, al-Shabab seeks to impose a strict version of Sharia, Islamic law, throughout the Muslim world. They have vowed to eradicate Christianity from Somalia.

Earlier this year, two Muslim extremists murdered a member of an underground Christian community in Somalia, and they also killed a mother of four children, 36-year-old Asha Mberwa, for her Christian faith.

There are a lot of reasons. I will give you a few.

I care because they are my Brothers and Sisters in Christ.

I care because I can't stand to see people persecuted.

I care because the enemy is gaining ground at the expense of my Brothers and Sisters.

Another saint, Juma Naradin Kamil, welcomed into Heaven.

Perhaps you need to go there and protect your siblings instead of pounding on your keyboard.

I am speaking of the persecutors, not the victims. They are as far from Christ as one can get.

Coming soon to the Twin Cities in Minnesota, which has a sizeable Somali population. Well, the libs in Minnesota (you know, the folks who elected Al Franken to the Senate) are so enthralled with multiculturalism, and probably get sexually aroused when they think of third-world reprobates coming to the United States.

“And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years.” Rev 20:4

Even though it’s a sad story, hopefully he has earned his reward.
