Somalia: Christian beheaded by extremists. |
| Nov 19 2012 |
Islamist extremists in Somalia have beheaded a Christian before a crowd of onlookers – for leaving Islam. Farhan Haji Mose, 25, was executed on Friday morning in the coastal city of Barawa for 'being a spy' and 'for embracing a foreign religion', according to both Christian and Muslim sources. Mose, who ran a small cosmetics shop, had spent time in neighbouring Kenya, where he became a Christian in 2010. A business trip to Kenya last year, from which he returned in December, had apparently aroused extremists' suspicions – and Christian sources said Mose had been monitored for at least six months.Mose's body was dumped near the beach and his family were too frightened to recover it immediately, for fear of being killed themselves. Barawa is currently under the control of Al-Shabaab rebels who want to impose strict Islamic law or Sharia across Somalia. Mose is the fourth Christian known to have been beheaded in Somalia since September 2011. (Release Int.)
If Christendom contained members who were butchering other faiths across the world - do you truly think that the Beeb and other media would have kept it all so quiet?
