Malingumu Bruhan, 34, returned for his grandfather\u2019s funeral in Muhira village, Nawaikoke, and then accepted his uncles\u2019 request to stay and visit, as they said they had not seen him for a long time, he said. Other visitors had left when Bruhan\u2019s uncle, Ndifakulya Musa, began rebuking him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy uncle accused me of embarrassing them by holding Christian evangelistic, open-air meetings and debates with Muslims,\u201d Bruhan told Morning Star News. \u201cHe accused me of being an infidel by converting to Christianity, and that Allah will reward them in [paradise] if they kill me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As Bruhan [kept] silent, his uncles\u2019 anger grew, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey started beating me up as others gathered firewood, while another was sent to go for petrol because they wanted to use it to burn me alive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As his uncles were waiting for the fuel, another convert from Islam who had accompanied Bruhan to the funeral came looking for him but was told he was nowhere in the vicinity, he said. The friend spied Bruhan\u2019s shoe, which had come off as his uncles dragged him off for slaughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy friend made several phone calls after finding my shoe, and they arrived and started searching for me,\u201d he said. \u201cThey found me behind the house about 100 meters away, tied and with firewood around me. They tried calling the police, which scared the attackers, and they fled.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having sustained head injuries, Bruhan was taken to a clinic at Bulumba town, then later transferred to another area undisclosed for security reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An evangelist well-known for his public debates with Muslims about Christianity and Islam, Bruhan has survived 11 murder attempts, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
