Radical Islam is spreading like an especially virulent cancer across the African continent. And for non-Muslims it’s every bit as deadly as that disease. One of the countries in which persecution of Christians is on the rise is Kenya.
 
Al-Shabab, the Islamic terrorist group responsible for the deadly massacre of dozens at the Westgate Mall in Nairobi last month, proudly admitted that they specifically targeted non-Muslims for slaughter.
  
And just last weekend, as reported by Morning Star News, Two Pastors (were) Killed in Kenya’s Coastal Area ~

Christians at Vikwantani Redeemed Gospel Church in Mombasa, Kenya arrived for worship Sunday morning (Oct. 20) only to learn that their pastor had been shot to death in their building the night before.
 
Those attending the service began to weep as a church member described what he and others found when they went to the church building late the previous night: the body of Pastor Charles Matole slumped in a plastic seat, blood streaming from his head.

 
Another pastor was murdered the same night ~

… in Kilifi, 50 kilometers (31 miles) north of Mombasa. Ebrahim Kidata of East African Pentecostal Church appeared to have been strangled and left in some bushes, authorities said. He had been riding his motorcycle, which was stolen[…]
 
The murder of two pastors over the weekend has caused much fear among churches and especially church leaders in the coastal region, where many Al Shabaab militants flushed out of Somalia by Kenyan-led African Union forces have taken refuge, said another pastor who requested anonymity.

According to Open Doors which ranks the African nation as 40th on their World Watch List, Kenya is said to be a majority Christian country…

… but in the Muslim-majority areas there are high levels of intolerance and hostility towards Christians. As with Tanzania and Uganda, there is a real Islamist drive to get Kenya under the African ‘House of Islam’, with pressure to enshrine this in the constitution. Al-Shabaab and similarly inspired extremist groups were last year responsible for a high level of violence against Christians; 22 were killed and more than 10 churches were burnt, looted or destroyed.

Seeing as how this is Kenya, land of Obama’s birth ancestors, you’d think, with his opportunistic propensity to randomly insert himself into various tragedies, the president might address this violence against Christians. After all, either of these men could have been his brother.
Actually, they were – his brothers-in-Christ. Well, assuming he truly is the Christian he said he is…
Yeah. So much for that.

 
Although Pastor Matole’s life ended so tragically, there was comfort in the fact that he died with a Bible in his hand. A martyr, clutching his his passport to eternity – with Christ.
