[On November 20] Muslim extremists burned down a house where a cell fellowship was meeting in eastern Uganda, a week after Muslims in another area caned two converts, sources said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arafah Senyange, 28, and his brother Zulufa Hajati Nakimuli, 43, were beaten with [a] cane on November 13 in Busembatia town, Bugweri District (formerly in Iganga District) for converting from Islam to Christianity in October, Nakimuli said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The two brothers were studying the Bible under a mango tree outside their father\u2019s home after returning from a Sunday service in Busembatia when one of their brothers, mosque leader Hamuza Lubega, arrived shouting the jihadist slogan, \u201cAllah Akbar [God is greater],\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lubega seized their Bible and began tearing its pages, then called their brothers Shafiki Kato and Ahmad Sewanyana, Nakimuli said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe were accused of bringing an unholy, corrupted book into the home of a Muslim family and following Issa [Jesus] as the Son of God, which is blasphemy in Islam,\u201d Nakimuli told Morning Star News. \u201cShafiki was sent to get some more family members with [a] cane to use on us. As they arrived, they started beating us with it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
