Muslims protest Kenyan anti-Islamic pamphlet
2006-10-24
Muslim protesters threw stones at a prison van carrying four men accused of distributing anti-Islamic literature to court Monday, and riot police fired into the air to break up the demonstration.
“The four are accused of handing out a pamphlet that questioned the legitimacy of Islam and using words that would injure the feelings of Muslims.”
About 200 people packed into the courtroom, but there was no attempt inside to disrupt the trial of US citizens Andrew Saucier and Paul Garcia and Kenyans Michael Otanga and Patrick Ngei. The four are accused of handing out a pamphlet that questioned the legitimacy of Islam and using words that would injure the feelings of Muslims. They face fines if convicted. The trial was to continue Wednesday.

A day after the pamphlets were distributed outside a primary school on Oct. 17, Muslims demonstrated outside the Baptist church where the missionaries are based.

#6  The four men are US nationals Andrew Saucier and Paul Garcia, and Kenyans Michael Mullei and Patrick Mutinda. Mr. Mullie and Mutinda are Christian converts who were evangelized through the ministry of the Calvary Baptist Church in Ngong. The 'pamphlets' are simply Evangelical tracts, the same kind that are often handed out by Christian missionaries all over the world. One of the tracts is entitled "Allah had no son". You can read it here.

Missionary work is becoming increasingly more dangerous throughout the world, and particularly in countries with more than a few muslims. Meanwhile, muslims in Kenya are free to spout the most vile and vicious lies about Christians that you can imagine, as well as flooding the entire country with anti-christian literature. Yet, not one Christian stands outside a mosque and protests. That's because the Christian God is big enough and powerful enough to deal with people himself. Apparently this Allah is such a weak and castrated god that he needs puny man to defend him at the smallest percieved slight. Muslims, if your god is really God, why can't he fight his own battles for a change?

#5  Do you suppose the US Marines conducting war games with the Kenyan army might be in preparation for dealing with jihadi expansion plans?

#3  The coastal region of Kenya has been Muslim for about a thousand years. The interior is not, and has never been (except for a few pockets).
