A Muslim man in eastern Uganda tied his 9-year-old son to a
tree and lit it on fire after his son converted to Christianity and refused to
fast during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, a Christian persecution watchdog
group is reporting.
Morning Star
News reports that
9-year-old Nassif Malagara, who lives in the Kamuli District of the Kisozi
subcounty, was severely burned by his father, 36-year-old Abubakar Malagara, who
caught him breaking the Ramadan fast after going two days without food on June
9.
Just four days earlier on June 5, the child decided to give
his life to Christ after a neighbor took him to a church outside the
village.
The church's pastor, who remained nameless for security
reasons, told Morning Star News that the boy stayed after the service and told
him that "he wanted to receive Jesus as his personal
savior."
"I was a bit hesitant, but after his continuous press, I
then prayed with him, and he left," the pastor
explained.
