* Islam: you can check in any time you like, but you can never leave…
A Somali Christian has paid the ultimate price for his faith.
Hussein, the 28-year-old victim, had converted from the Muslim faith to Christianity. Jonathan Racho of International Christian Concern says he was confronted by Islamic extremists who demanded to know if he faces Mecca when he prays, which is required of Muslims.

Close on the heels of the beheading of a man for marrying a girl outside his religion at a village in Murshidabad district, another man was set on fire by his in-laws on Friday at Anarpur village under Baduria PS in North 24-Parganas district for the same reason.
With severe burns, Arka Banerjee (22), a resident of Barasat’s Chowdhurybagan, is now struggling for life in Barasat district hospital, Superintendent of Police of North 24-Parganas district, Supratim Sarkar, said in Kolkata on Saturday.

Ethiopia: Muslim mobs stone Christians
Guess this is the “thanks” the descendants of the great “Negus” — the king of Ethiopia during Muhammad’s time who provided shelter and refuge to the first Muslim community – get in return. “Muslim Mob Stones Christians in Eastern Ethiopia,” by Michael Ireland, for Worthy News, July 30: ETHIOPIA (ANS) – A mob of Islamic extremists stoned Seid Ahmed and Musa Ibrahim [names changed for security reasons] in Jijiga, a city on border with Somalia. The attack is the latest attack against Christians in Ethiopia where the spread of radical Islam is fueling the persecution of Christians.
“Hussein says he doesn’t face Mecca when he prays because his God is omnipresent and he can face anywhere to pray,” Racho recounts the incident. “[T]he extremists were very much enraged by his comments, and they killed him.”
Upon learning that her husband had been shot to death, Hussein’s wife went into premature labor and delivered a stillborn baby.
Hussein had been working as a teacher and was described as extremely successful in evangelizing the community.

This is a satirical website. None of what you read here has anything to do with Islam, because Islam is a Religion of Peace. Everybody knows that good Muslims never do the things they do, (because Allah does it for them, Quran 8:12) and we know that only our misperceptions, ignorance and stereotyping of Islam makes Muslims chop off heads, kill and rape women and children, bomb subways, buses, nightclubs and fly jets into buildings. If it wasn't for the media and da Jooozzz, we wouldn't even know its happening.
We welcome open, honest, thoughtful, and vigorous discussion in the comments threads, so do yourself a favour and don't accuse us of being 'haters' because we are loving, tolerant people. Don't curse us, don't threaten us with death or hellfire, and don't accuse us of being "just like the terrorists" because we don't do to Muslims what they do to us or to themselves. Yes, we know that only idiots oppose Islam and sensible people submit, but you should know that we are ignorant bigots, hypocrites and Islamophobes, and we prefer to remain that way...
But since you are forcing yourselves (and your abhorrent belief-system on us) we will defend ourselves, because we must. Avoid tu quoque and ad hominem attacks. Don't bother with circular reasoning either, we been there, done it. If you annoy us, you will be banned and your posts summarily deleted.
Try to add to the discussion, don't try to sell snake oil, don't try to cover us with Islamic shrouds of kitman and taqiyya, don't bother with da'awa, (we've heard it before) don't spam us with long pieces of cut & paste, write in English, try to tell the truth,
(we know that's hard for you because you are all pathological liars) but the truth will set you free, try it!
One more thing: don't think you can post here under multiple monikers. You will quickly be disappeared! The same goes for
trufers and conspiracy kooks: you get one chance, one time. Blow it out of your ass if you must; put your stupidity on display.
But you won't be back, trust me on that.
Take a deep breath before you post, try to make some sense, do not just vent, do not make a fool of yourself and if you prove us wrong you can earn 10 Islamic dollars for your piggy bank. Deal?

Joe Grey>>Looks like that dude in the pic needs to struggle his way to a toothbrush.
I’m beginning to think Barack Hussein Obama feels the same way about Christians: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FCNKwHRCQM
Somalia is a 10th rate shithole. A country of frightening barbarity and cruelty. This doesn’t surprise me at all.
Ethiopia has a very old and strange version of Christianity so where is all this Islamist aggression coming from? Perhaps it’s the Somalis again.
It’s time to contain or outlaw this blood drenched moon cult from our countries. I t is completely incompatible with any other way of life. The fanaticism is becoming so bad it’s almost psychotic. I fear it may have to come down to a fight to save ourselves. I’ve always thought that if the Islamists were serious they would have to take on India, Russia and China. It appears they are doing that. It will be interesting to see how these countries deal with the problem.
S.K,
The somalis having been causing problems in the border region with Ethiopia for decades. They cross the border in large gangs and then kill and rape and steal. There are reports of these activities going back for more than 60 years – for example George Adamson of “Born Free” fame reported these activities by Somali tribesmen in 193O’s. He note that these bands or “Shifta” would run rather than face up to law enforcement officers. However, things have changed. These gangs have now been armed with heavy weapons by the Somali government and they are a significant problem. It is also believed George Adamson was murdered by these “people” some years ago. The incursion of Islam into Ethiopia is possibly a direct consequence of Christians moving away after continous attack by these thugs with consequent resettlement of these areas by the islamic thugs. The border is highly porous and very remote, and the Ethiopian government does not have the resources to properly contain the problem.
I also should say that the man who was murdered after converting to Christianity, Hussein, seems to have been a person of exemplary courage. He and his family will be in my prayers.
I suspect he was deliberately targeted because he was able to show others that other solutions beside islam exist – therefore he was a threat to the muslim mob.
Somalia is also where Tyson Chicken gets thousands of employees.
