International Christian Concern (ICC) has learned that Somali Islamic extremists beheaded four Christians after kidnapping them on July 27 in the coastal town of Merca, 56 miles from Mogadishu.
Fatima Sultan, Ali Ma'ow, Sheik Mohammed Abdi, and Maaddey Diil were killed by members of Al-Shabab, an Islamic extremist organization. The Islamists kidnapped and eventually beheaded the Christians after they refused to renounce their faith in Jesus Christ.
On August 4, a junior Al-Shabab militant notified all the families of the victims that the four Christians had been beheaded for apostasy. He described the Christians as promoters of "fitna," a Muslim term for religious discord. The militant, who called himself "Seiful Islam" ("the Sword of Islam"), told the families that the bodies will not be given to them "as Somalia does not have cemeteries for infidels."
One eye witness account said, "All the four apostates were given an opportunity to return to Islam to be released but they all declined the generous offer."
| Generous. I s'pose it was, compared to that Yemini gentleman who ran up to his Jewish neighbor, yelled, "Kufr!", and killed him on the spot. |
The four Christians had been working for a local NGO that helps orphans in southern Somalia.
| It's seeing these two examples before them, the loving behaviour of the Christians who help the least in the community versus the hateful actions of the Muslims toward anyone they can lord over, that's leading to the flood of apostasy that has the religious leadership frothing about losing 6 million believers a year. Well done, Al-Shababers, for speeding up that flood. |
