Ethiopia: Christian street preacher slain by Islamic mob
Mar. 29, 2007 (CWNews.com) - The Washington-DC based human rights group International Christian Concern (ICC) reports that Ethiopian Christian evangelist named Tedase was beaten to death by militant Muslims on Monday, March 26th, as he and two young women preached on the streets in the town of Jimma, Ethiopia.
This marks the second time in six months that Christians residing in southeast Ethiopia have been attacked and killed by extremist (Wahabbi) Muslims. ?
The attack came as Tedase and his companions were preaching on a street near a Wahhabi Islamic mosque. As the Christians passed by, a group of Muslims rushed from the mosque, catched Tedase and pulling him inside, where he was beaten to death.
The killing of the Protestant evangelist took place in an area where public authorities are almost exclusively Muslim, and have shown little sensitivity to the concerns of the Christian minority. Just six months ago, in September 2006, a mob of Islamic zealots burned down Christian churches and homes, leaving about 2,000 people homeless in the same region.

The grand Mosque of Jimma town - Fatih Mosque - attacked two days ago (26.03.07). At the time of the attack, Muslims were standing for Asr (afternoon) prayer. The assailant entered the Mosque with his shoes on and began attacking Muslim and disrupted their prayers. He was caught and beaten by the congregation. Some among the congregation intervened and took the day light criminal to hospital.
During this happening the microphone of the Mosque was open and the disturbance in the mosque could be heard from far. People who were believed to be on waiting to join him in his criminal act had fled away with out being caught. Police arrived later on and calmed the situation.
The assailant died later while receiving medical treatment.

Comment from: gundan [Member] “…i still find it "unswalowably hard" a person to be killed for his political, ethical, theological, moral, or/and philosophical view. Religion is made multi extracts. A mob or a contract killing is just an awful, awful crime to an idealist preacher…”..M.T
“I dream to see a free space to a political discource!
I dream to see a free stage of theological preachers.
i dream to see free speakers corner to free ethiopians
i dream, dream and dream to see gentle ethiopians.”
