I received this e-mail today. It is indeed a sad one. BW

Dear Colleagues/friends It is with a deep and profound sorrow we announce the death of Pastor Shueb M.Madkher-The Director World In Need-Somalia. Pastor Shueb was killed and his boy burnt beyond recognition on 25th April 2004, by people believed to be Islamic militia group who come to learn he was spreading the Gospel among the Somalis at Dinsor town in Bakool District.

We shall update all his colleagues/friends as we continue getting more report on his death. We do not know exactly what happened and how he was tortured and executed.

We believe he was killed and burnt beyond recognition because of his religious belief and spreading the Gospel among his community.

We shall truly miss his love, counsel, humility, affection, generosity, his sheer hard work and discipline. He was a mentor and an inspiration to all of us here.

We shall still nurture and pass on the values he instilled on all who interacted with him.

MAY THE GOOD LORD REST HIS SOUL IN ETERNAL PEACE.

It is not the first time Somali Muslim militants martyred a Somali church leader. It was 1994 when pastor Liibaan Ibraahim Hassan was executed in Mogadishu in a broad daylight because of his faith in the risen Lord.

Liibaan Ibraahim Hassan was one of the finest church leaders the Somali church has ever produced. We still miss him and we will always miss him.

The Somali Christian community condemns this barbaric act in the strongest terms possible.

The Somali Christians are among the most persecuted Christians in the entire world. We covet your prayers.

I wish more people would know the things Christians in places like Indonesia, Somalia, and the Sudan (to name a few). God bless them.

The Phillipines, Kosovo, to add a few names to your list.
Mindanao, an island in the Phillipines, is a terrifying place to be if you are Christian or American.

Prayers of strength, courage, fortitude and protection to the brave Christians in Somalia.

It been posted here before, that Somali Christian are under a sentence of death, by the muslims militants. I have been praying for them.

In this life, we live in the Lord and in death we are alive in the Lord. Therefore I take comfort and courage, that the Lord reign over all the earth, even over death. Especially in these dark times.

May the Lord bless and multiply those Christians in Somali and send his angels to protect, each one of them. Thank you Jesus!

Just remember genocide is not nicer when done by self-described "Christians." Look at all the destroyed mosques in Bosnia and elsewhere and quit bellyaching.

And if you try really, really hard, you can fool yourself into thinking that RBJ doesn't laugh out loud at every report of a destroyed and desecrated Serbian Orthodox Christian Church.

But then reality will set in and you can almost hear his laughter.

And remember that you too can be helped to escape from your islam captivity.

Ah, yes. I think Serbs murdering innocent people is bad, therefore I am Islamic. Serbocrazy logic.

Next on Meet the Press: MarMema proves that Earth is flat just because Tsar Lazar thought so!

If it comforts you to think I'm a crazed anti-Serb bigot, then suck away. The thumb in question is yours; you can do what you want with it.

[FormerLib]

...I'm a crazed anti-Serb bigot...

As clearly demonstrated by your many posts.

[Ronly Bonly Jones]

Only in the mind of crazed Serb bigots.

[FormerLib]

And just when we think this raging bigot can't sink any lower, he executes an Olympic-class dive!

But his attempts at using the "Tsar Lazar" insults are really freakin' funny!!!

[FormerLib]

Only in the mind of crazed Serb bigots.

And on the pages of Free Republic for all to read. Gee, guess you haven't been counting the number of non-Serbs who now respond to your bizarre postings.

Good Christian Americans just won't stand for seeing your lies go unchallenged.

But I know that you draw some sort of comfort by imagining yourself as some valiant warrior standing against the Serbian hordes as you laud the Islamic terrorist who strike at them and at us (that's Americans, dude) as well.

[Ronly Bonly Jones]

Good Christian Americans >>

What you mean 'we', paleface? Good Christian Americans are revolted by the slaughter of innocents, even if they're Muslims.

[Ronly Bonly Jones]

Let me put it to you simply.

G E N O C I D E B A D.

Thank you.

[FormerLib]

Bad?

So is showing up on threads involving the clear aggression being committed against the Serbs (among others) by the Muslim terrorists and launching into your standard histrionics about how the evil, sub-human Serbs deserve it because Arkan was a Serb.

It's pathetic, un-Christian, and un-American.

If you think you'll get away with it unchallenged, you're dreaming. Free Republic is about much more noble endeavors. Lies will be challenged, regardless of how many times you shriek them.

But thanks for demonstrating for folks how virulent the hatred directed against the Serbs truly is.
