Ethiopia: Muslim Officials Charge Evangelist With ‘Terrorism And Treason’ For Discussing Islam From A Christian Perspecive

This article would have probably given the officials an aneurysm …

ICC – “(International Christian Concern) – International Christian Concern (ICC) has learned that Ethiopian officials have arbitrarily detained and arrested a Christian evangelist under charges of terrorism and treason in response to his Christian faith and activities. The evangelist was initially arrested in late March of this year in Dodola, a city located 180 miles south of Ethiopia’s capital, Addis Ababa.

Alemayehu Legese, an Ethiopian evangelist, was arrested by local police after having admitted to owning literature that ‘discussed the history of Islam from a Christian perspective.’ Legese, a student at Dodola Mekane Yesus Bible School, had dropped the literature off at a copy shop. A Muslim employee subsequently contacted authorities to demand Legese face consequences for violating the widespread cultural belief that Christians, being inferior citizens, are morally insufficient to learn the history of Islam.

In addition, Legese was known for his outwardly evangelistic nature. It is believed that because of this, as well as the fact that he coordinated faith-based activities for youths at his local church, Legese was made a target for arrest and ultimately arbitrarily detained

In court, Legese’s lawyer objected to the charges of both terrorism and treason, and as a result, the court ordered public prosecutors to modify their charges against Legese. The prosecution has yet to do so. Until the prosecution submits new charges against Legese, he will continue to sit in jail, awaiting charges that may take years to be submitted.

‘I think the evangelist is arrested to discourage other Christians from teaching [the gospel] in the area… All the government officials in the area are Muslims and this has created a big problem [for the Christians],‘ said a Christian legal expert who asked to remain anonymous.” Read more.

    Islam makes a mockery of the word “justice”.

    That is exactly what the Obama Administration wants for America. Janet Napolitano proved that with her list of potential domestic terrorist. Evangelicals, Patriots, returning vets, Zionist, anyone who disagrees with the Obama policies, anyone with anti Obama stickers, or Ron Paul stickers, religious zealots, also known as religious Jews and Christians, and Islamaphobes.
