A Somali Christian has paid the ultimate price for his faith.
Hussein, the 28-year-old victim, had converted from the Muslim faith to Christianity. Jonathan Racho of International Christian Concern says he was confronted by Islamic extremists who demanded to know if he faces Mecca when he prays, which is required of Muslims. "Hussein says he doesn't face Mecca when he prays because his God is omnipresent and he can face anywhere to pray," Racho recounts the incident. "[T]he extremists were very much enraged by his comments, and they killed him." Upon learning that her husband had been shot to death, Hussein's wife went into premature labor and delivered a stillborn baby. Hussein had been working as a teacher and was described as extremely successful in evangelizing the community.
