Islam, “a religion of peace “has struck again! If you ever doubted the unprovoked viciousness, sectarianism, brutality, cruelty, murderous behavior of Muslims, please doubt no more. Muslims in Uganda attacked a Christian Pentecostal Church on Thursday night on 26th June, 2014 in Karokarungi village Ntuuntu Magoma Hapuuyo Subcounty in Kyegegwa District – Western Uganda and cut off Pastor’s head.
Many Christians were seriously cut and injured including a one-year old baby that was severely injured and currently nursing wounds at Midas Touch Medical Centre in Kyenjojo district. The deceased, Beata Mukachaka, was preaching in the church at about 11pm when the attackers, armed with machetes, surrounded the church, entered and cut off his head and placed it on the altar. They also set the church ablaze before retreating to a mosque. A police officer at the rank of Assistant Inspector was also killed in a fire exchange with the Muslim gunmen who had retreated into a mosque after the attack. Rwenzori region police commander Thomas Kasiimo said the Christians, who were in night prayers, scampered for their lives. Mr Kasiimo said preliminary investigations show the attackers were Muslims armed with guns and bows, spears, machetes and axes.
