Muslims Raid Worship Service
A recent raid by Muslims on a Christian worship service near the capital city of Kampala, Uganda – where several members were injured and their building was damaged – is prompting concern among missions agencies that a new and more violent form of Islam is taking root in the region. The attack, carried out by a 40-member mob wielding machetes and clubs, surprised many in a nation where conflicts between Christians and Muslims have not reached the level of other nations. Most of Uganda’s Muslims are in the northern part of the country in the Bunyoro province. It’s in those regions where most of the persecution takes place. “When Muslims become a majority even in one part of a country where Christians are the majority, they become very vocal, extremist and radicalized,” said Jonathan Racho of International Christian Concern.
