Church burnt by islamofascists in Algeria

"Islamist intolerance considers there is no room for Christian religious practices in Algeria,"

or anywhere else that is ruled by shariah law. Jerusalem Post

Islamists looted and burned a Protestant church in Algeria, the congregation's leader said Monday, suggesting they were inspired by a recent wave of religious intolerance in the Arab and Muslim world. [...]

The independent El Watan daily published a picture of a smoldering pile of pulpits and desks that had been brought outside for destruction. It quoted the pastor of the local Pentecostal community, Mustapha Krireche, as saying worshippers fled the temple because local police had left a gathering of anti-Christian rioters unchecked.

The congregation was worshipping in the apartment block because it had not received official government approval to operate a church.

Al Shabaab kills Christian pastor

YUSUFALI: Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their necks

From Bos News Life

MOGADISHU, SOMALIA (BosNewsLife)-- Islamic militants have killed the leader of an underground church in Somalia's capital Mogadishu, a well-informed Christian rights group said Monday, November 16.

U.S.-based International Christian Concern (ICC) said it has learned that two "masked members" of the militant al-Shabab group shot Pastor Ali Hussein Weheliye on October 10, while he was returning home from a worship service.[...]

The pastor reportedly converted from Islam to Christianity in 1999 while working in Somalia’s capital as a linguist. In 2002, he started pastoring an underground house church, ICC said.

He is survived by his wife and a daughter "who are now in hiding fearing for their lives," the group explained.

Muslims vandalize Christian graves

"Christians don't feel free anymore. Our way of life is changing while the Muslim population grows," World Net Daily

ERUSALEM – Palestinian Christians in a normally quiet village are reeling from a series of grave desecrations this week that they say are indicative of intimidation tactics from the town's growing Muslim population.

"Christians don't feel free anymore. Our way of life is changing while the Muslim population grows," a local Christian told WND. The Christian would only give his first name, Anis, for fear of Muslim retaliation if he speaks out. He pointed out there are several other Anis's in his village, Jisna, which is located near the West Bank city of Ramallah.

This week, 70 Christian grave sites in Jisna were vandalized, with the crosses on top of the graves found smashed off, local Christians told WND.

Jisna is primarily a Christian village, but over the last 6 to 8 years, the town has seen a steady stream of Muslims, mostly due to Jisna's good quality of life. Two years ago, the first mosque was constructed in the village. If the Islamic influx continues, Jisna might go the way of so many other Palestinian cities, like Ramallah and Bethlehem, which used to be predominantly Christian but now have large Muslim majorities
