    Default Christian Man Murdered for Leaving Islam

    In Somalia, the extremist group al-Shabaab enforces a brutally strict version of Islamic law that calls for punishments such as stoning, cutting off hands and beheading. Individuals who are caught converting from Islam to Christianity are often executed by the group.

    Gunmen in central Somalia on Saturday, Dec. 8, killed an underground Christians who had been receiving death threats for leaving Islam, area sources said.

    Two unidentified masked men shot Mursal Isse Siad, 55, outside his home in Beledweyne, 206 miles (332 kilometers) north of Mogadishu, for leaving Islam, Muslim and Christian sources told Morning Star News. The assailants fled immediately after the murder.

    Siad’s oldest daughter (name withheld), 15, said her father was killed “because he failed to attend the mosque for prayers and used to pray at home. He used to share with us about Jesus.” She said that he had received messages on his mobile phone stating, “We know what you are doing, and you must stop, otherwise you risk your life.”

    I'd also like to hear how the simple re-posting of a news article is "muslim bashing" as defined by the forums" resident hypocrite, Phinneas Finn, and yet Clamari's thread about a Christian minister molesting young boys is not "Christian bashing."

    Spin it, hypocrite Finn.

    Pathetic.
