Muslim communities in liberal countries like Uganda heard that the United States Ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens, was killed when Libyan militants stormed the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, many of them sounded displeased with the incidence.

The US ambassador was killed in a grenade attack over some kind of defamation of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

The Mufti of Uganda, Sheikh Shaban Ramadan Mubajje strongly condemns this murder and detests this saying that in Islam to kill an innocent human being is tantamount to the killing of entire humanity.

“I understand the anger of Muslims and anxiety, but I think these people (Muslim fundamentalists need to act in line with the teachings of Islam and respond with diplomacy and tact. But instead they chose to kill an innocent diplomat and this is a massive crime in Islam and holy teaching of the Quran,” Sheikh Mubajje told our reporter Walakira Nyanzi in an interview. Uganda is a Muslim country because its former president Iddi Amin Dada (RIP) registered it in the Muslim world league.

The Mufti says that the killing of innocent human being is never justifiable in Islam, whether the victim is Muslim or not.
“I say to the perpetrators of these actions that if they truly claim to follow the Quran and the Teachings of Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, then what they have done is in clear violation of the Islamic principles.

 Ambassador Christopher Stevens was killed on Tuesday as 20 gun-wielding attackers stormed the U.S. consulate, angry about an American-made movie that depicted Prophet Mohammad as a fraud and a womanizer.

The attackers fired automatic weapons and rocket-propelled grenades killing the ambassador and some of the people who were in his company.

Sources told us that for nearly 20 minutes the Libyan guards exchanged fire with the attackers, who hurled a firebomb inside. The Islamic militants burned down buildings in the same attack.
