SOMALIA - Christian Aid Worker Beheaded for Leaving Islam — Compass Direct News
In September, a Christian aid worker was beheaded for converting from Islam to Christianity, among other charges, according to an eyewitness. Muslim extremists from the al Shabab group fighting the transitional government in Somalia, sliced the head off Mansuur Mohammed, 25, before horrified onlookers of Manyafulka village, 10 kilometers from Baidoa, Compass Direct News reported. The extremists had intercepted Mohammed, who managed to escape, earlier in the morning. Sources close to Mohammed's family said he converted from Islam to Christianity in 2005. An eye witness said extremists gathered villagers telling them that they would prepare a feast for them. Five masked men emerged, carrying guns, wielding Somali swords and dragging the handcuffed Mohammed. One recited the Quran as he proclaimed that Mohammed was a "murtid," an Arabic term for one who converts from Islam to Christianity. Mohammed remained calm with an expressionless face, never uttering a word, said the eyewitness. Pray Mohammed’s family will be comforted. Ask God to protect and encourage believers in Somalia. Praise God for his faithfulness.
