A Christian man in eastern Uganda is recovering after his Muslim brother hit him in the head with a machete. The reason for the attack? He converted to Christianity.
Morning Star News (MSN) reports Abudlawali Kijwalo, 39, who comes from a family of devoted sheiks and hajjis (pilgrims to Mecca), was grazing his cattle on June 27 in Nankodo, Kibuku District when his brother, Musoga Murishid, confronted him.
Kijwalo said his family had warned him about listening to gospel music or claiming that Jesus Christ was his Lord and Savior.
He told the media outlet he had been listening to a Christian radio station earlier that day.
"Are you still a Muslim, or you are now a Christian?" Murishid asked him.
"I am for Christ," Kijwalo told him.
Kijwalo said his brother then pulled a machete from underneath the long robe he was wearing and struck him on the head with it. The brother walked away, likely thinking he had killed Kijwalo due to the wound which caused a heavy amount of bleeding.
A village elder witnessed the attack and contacted first responders who rushed to help the man.
Kijwalo has since gone into hiding, fearing for his life, according to MSN.
As CBN News has reported, the assault on the new believer is just the latest of several incidents of persecution against Christians in Uganda.
Reports of Muslim attacks against Christians in the eastern African country go back several years.
Earlier this month, a woman in eastern Uganda, who recently converted to Christianity, was recovering in the hospital after her Muslim father and family members attacked her and forced her to drink poison.
Her mother had warned her that her family was planning to kill her.
In June, a 70-year-old pastor was killed in Uganda after a group of radical Muslims stopped him and his wife on their way home from a market.
Bishop Francis Obo was the senior pastor of Mpingire Pentecostal Revival Church Ministries International in Odapako village Mpingire Sub-County and oversaw 17 churches across the region.
Muslim extremists dressed in Islamic attire confronted him and his wife, Christine Obo. She said one of the men called her husband an "infidel" who drives Muslims to leave Islam and "blaspheme the words of Allah" but "Today Allah has judged you."
Police later found Imam Uthman Olingha wearing bloody clothing and arrested him for murder, along with another suspect, who was identified as Jafari Kato.
Olingha reportedly confessed to killing Bishop Obo, with an officer telling the family, "Olingha openly confessed that he can't regret that he killed the bishop because he did it in the cause of Allah's word to kill all infidels who mislead Muslims."
In January, a mob of radical Muslims killed a man in Uganda one week after he converted to Christianity.
Uganda's constitution and other laws provide for religious freedom, including the right to share one's faith and convert from one faith to another, MSN noted.
Muslims make up only 12 percent of Uganda's population with high concentrations in eastern areas of the country. Christians make up 84 percent.
World Watch Monitor, a persecution watchdog, notes on their website, "A home-grown Islamist rebel movement has taken root in neighboring Democratic Republic of the Congo, which has emboldened Ugandan radicals to increase pressure on Christians."
Dear Christ, be his strength and shield in his battles as he stands for you. And forgive us our petty complaints, at least until we get chopped on the head for Your sake.
Muslim attacks against Christians... go back several years.”
Clarification: Attacks go back several centuries.
God bless this man and protect him!! May his testimony grow the spread and acceptance of the Savior!
Islam promotes violence.
Christianity promotes forgiveness.
Amen.
islam is a scourge upon the Earth and must be expunged.
Instant sainthood.
“God bless this man and protect him!! May his testimony grow the spread and acceptance of the Savior!” Amen!
Let’s start with America instead of fawning all over them.
The interrogatory question “Are you still a Muslim or are you a Christian” brings to mind the questioning which occurs at Baptism or at the Chrismation of a Baptized convert:
Priest: Do you join Christ?
The question is answered three times:
Catechumen: I do join Him.
Again the Priest asks three times:
Priest: Have you joined Christ?
Catechumen: I have joined Him.
Again the Priest asks:
Priest: And do you believe in Him?
Catechumen: I believe in Him as King and as God.
After the completion of the Creed, the Priest asks thrice:
Priest: Have you joined Christ?
Catechumen: I have joined Him.
Priest: Then bow before Him and worship Him.
Catechumen (or Sponsor) bows down, saying:
Catechumen: I bow down before the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit; Trinity. One in essence and undivided.
Priest: Blessed is God Who desires that all people should be saved, and come to the knowledge of the Truth; both now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen. Let us pray to the Lord.
It is the sacred duty of every muslim to slay those who leave Islam.
Mad Mo made it so.
Islam has been at war with the rest of humanity since 622 AD
The Islamic Muslim guy is doing exactly what Fundamental Islam teaches. Islam itself is the problem.
1400 year anniversary coming up.
Lock and load.
“Blessed is the Lord my rock, who teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight”.

I dont remember anything written in the Holy Bible to allow your ass to get kicked. Just your cheeks, that’s it.
turning the other cheek doesn’t even mean what many think it means, it doesn’t mean we let people smack us around- what Christ was telling the apostles that asked the question was NOT to plot revenge against their attackers- and to keep from plotting revenge even 70 times 7 times if necessary- He never told them they couldn’t defend themselves- And Christ and the apostles certainly didn’t ‘turn the other cheek’ (as it is usually understood) when confronted by evil doers- Christ infact drove people from the temple- Paul fought in court against his accusers and attackers-
Christ didn’t preach that we have to be doormats, and passive ninnies who allow others to smash us around at will- BUT He DID tell us we are not to harbor revenge in our hearts against our enemies-
