Dear concerned friend,

British PM Gordon Brown is not only betraying the Christian heritage of this country. He endangers UK security by shaking hands with Al Qaeda suspects while British troops face the Taleban version of their barbaric fanaticism in Afghanistan. Mr Brown's flirtation with Islam by going cap-in-hand for Saudi finance is nauseating in every respect. How have the mighty fallen! He should be impeached! Below is a taste of real Islam, the like of which jihadists wish to spread throughout the world.
 
May God have mercy upon us.

Christian Aid Worker in Somalia Beheaded for Converting from Islam

Anti-Christian violence spills into Kenya as Somali Muslims attack in Nairobi

Posted: Thursday, October 30, 2008, 9:51 (EST)

Among at least 24 aid workers killed in Somalia this year was one who was beheaded last month specifically for converting from Islam to Christianity, among other charges, according to an eyewitness.

According to a story by Compass Direct News, Muslim extremists from the al Shabab group fighting the transitional government on Sept. 23 sliced the head off of Mansuur Mohammed, 25, a World Food Program (WFP) worker, before horrified onlookers of Manyafulka village, 10 kilometers (six miles) from Baidoa.

The militants had intercepted Mohammed and a WFP driver, who managed to escape, earlier in the morning. Sources close to Mohammed's family said he converted from Islam to Christianity in 2005.

Compass Direct reported that the eyewitness, who requested anonymity for security reasons, said the militants gathered the villagers of Manyafulka that afternoon, telling them that they would prepare a feast for them. The people gathered anticipating the slaughter of a sheep, goat or camel according to local custom.

According to Compass Direct, the five masked men emerged carrying guns, carrying Somali swords and dragging the handcuffed Mohammed. One pulled back Mohammed's head, exposing his face as he scraped his sword against his short hair as if to sharpen it. Another recited the Quran as he proclaimed that Mohammed was a "murtid," an Arabic term for one who converts from Islam to Christianity.

The Muslim militant proclaimed that Mohammed was an infidel and a spy for occupying Ethiopian soldiers.

Compass Direct reported that eyewitnesses said Mohammed remained calm with an expressionless face, not even saying anything. As the chanting of "Allah Akubar [God is greater]" rose to a crescendo, one of the militiamen twisted his head, allowing the other to slit his neck. When the head was finally severed from the torso, the killers cheered as they displayed it to the petrified crowd.

The militants allowed one of their accomplices to take a video of the slaughter using a mobile phone. The video was later circulated secretly and sold in Somalia and in neighboring countries, in what Compass Direct said many see as a strategy to instill fear among those considering converting from Islam to Christianity.

Compass Direct said unconfirmed reports indicated that a similar incident took place in Lower Juba province of Somalia in July, when Christians found with Bibles were publicly executed. Their families fled to Dadaab refugee camp in Kenya, and such killings are forcing other Christians to flee to neighboring Kenya, Ethiopia and Djibouti.

Somalis Attacking Somalis

Compass Direct said Somali refugees to Kenya include Nur Mohammed Hassan, in Nairobi under U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees asylum. In spite of the protection, two weeks ago five Somali Muslims broke into Mohammed Hassan's house and beat him and his family, he told Compass.

"On Oct. 14 five Muslims entered my house around 10 o'clock in the night and forced us out after beating us indiscriminately," Compass Direct reported Mohammed Hassan said, adding that the youngest of his eight children suffers from a liver disease.

He added, "Thank God the police arrived immediately and saved our lives. For two days now we have been sleeping outside in the cold. We have been receiving police security, but for how long will this continue?"

Mohammed Hassan now lives in Eastliegh, Nairobi with his wife and children. He had fled Mogadishu after Muslims murdered his sister, Mariam Mohammed Hassan, in April 2005, allegedly for distributing Bibles in the capital.

"We are nowadays no better than our fellow Somali Christians inside Somalia who are killed like dogs when discovered to be Christians," Compass Direct reported Mohammed Hassan said. "We are not safe living here in Eastleigh. The Muslims killed my sister in Mogadishu, and now they are planning to kill me and my family."

The last three years in Nairobi, he said, he has suffered many setbacks at the hands of other Somali immigrants.

"Indeed the situation for the Muslim Christians in Kenya and Somalia is disastrous and horrifying - we are risking our lives for choosing to follow Christ," he told Compass Direct. "My family is in danger. No peace, no security. We are lacking the basic necessities of life."

Compass Direct said Somalia is one of the most dangerous countries in the world, and subject to suicide bombings, sea piracy and routine human rights violations. Islamic militants object to foreign troop intervention, especially those from neighboring Ethiopia. Christians and anyone sympathetic to Western ideals are targeted, with foreign aid workers especially vulnerable in the past year.

Compass Direct reported that aid groups have counted 24 aid workers, 20 of them Somalis, who have been killed this year in Somalia, with more than 100 attacks on aid agencies reported. In their strategy to destabilize the government, the Islamic militants target relief groups as the U.N. estimates 3.2 million Somalis (nearly a third of the population) depend on such aid.
