How Muslim Extremists Killed Visitors And Beat Christians
How Muslim Extremists Killed Visitors And Beat Christians: Three individuals were killed this week in western Uganda, and according to sources, one of the victims was an evangelist in Kampala who was knocked unconscious after being attacked by Muslim fanatics on October 10 for being an “infidel.”
Robert Settimba, 27, was attacked by six Muslim extremists in Kampala’s Kawaala neighborhood at around 7 p.m., chanting “Kafir [Infidel]!” and the jihadist motto “Allah akbar [God is greater].” According to a friend, whose identity is hidden, Settimba was returning home from street preaching.
“The Muslims got hold of him and started kicking and boxing him as others came beating him with sticks, as I watched from a distance, helpless,” the friend told Morning Star News. “Some bystanders were shouting at me to disappear, or else the attackers would also beat me up. I then left my friend lying down.”
He said he went to a nearby church for help, and when he and other Christians went back to the scene, they discovered Settimba was unconscious and brought him to a nearby hospital.
Settimba is well-known to Christians as a street preacher to Muslims in Kampala, Kisenyi, Wandegeya, and Kawaala. His injuries included severe chest pain, bruising on his thigh, left hand, and shoulder, and swelling and inflammation on his left ankle.
A foreign married couple were shot to death on Tuesday (Oct. 17) by suspected Islamic terrorists, sources said.
Alyai, 40, British tourist David Barlow, and his South African wife, 51-year-old Celia Barlow, were killed at 6:30 p.m. along the park’s Katwe Road, according to security agencies.
Alyai was known to take tourists to Christian-owned hotels in Kasese, which helped generate income for the local church, and he also took Christian tourists to churches in Kasese, sources said.
An area resident who witnessed that attack while fetching firewood told Morning Star News that she heard the sound of bullets and hid. When the Muslim extremists approached the tourists’ vehicle, they shouted, “We know you are the people who are supporting Christians in Uganda and coming in the name of tourists,” according to the resident, whose name is withheld for security reasons.
“Then and there they fired on them and then later burned the vehicle to ashes,” the source said.
