ICC Note: Radical Muslims have demolished a church and slaughtered pigs that had served as the primary source of income for a Christian community in eastern Uganda. Morning Star News reports that extremists threatened the Christian residents of Nalugondo with beheading their pigs and they could no longer stomach Christian worship nearby. Persecuiton in Uganda predominates in several Muslim-dominated pockets of eastern Uganda where radical Islam presses up against the Christian majority in the country.

4/25/16 Uganda (Morning Star News) – Muslims in a village in eastern Uganda last week killed Christians’ pigs and tore down their church building, sources said.

A Muslim mob demolished the building of the 450-member Nalugondo Church of Uganda building at about midnight on April 12, shouting, “We cannot live together with neighbors who are infidels. We have to fight for the cause of Allah,” according to area sources. Nalugondo village is near Bugade, Mayuge District, 93 miles east of Kampala.

Two days earlier, sources said, a group of Muslims slaughtered a church lay leader’s pigs, a key source of income. Singing praises to Allah and shouting, “Allah only is to be worshipped, and Muhammad is his prophet,” the group led by area Muslim Kambo Daudo killed Samuel Kijali’s pigs at 4 p.m. on April 10, as Kijali’s wife watched helplessly.
