A Pentecostal preacher who has converted thousands of Muslims to Christianity was disfigured when men shouting “God is great” in Arabic threw acid in his face in a Christmas Eve attack that has stoked religious tensions here.

The victim, Umar Mulinde, is a Muslim convert to Christianity and now a vocal critic of Islam. He is also a key figure in opposing the establishment of Islamic civil courts in this majority Christian country.

Christians say the attack on Mr. Mulinde is symbolic of the government’s failure to protect Christians from Muslim extremists, even in a country whose population is 85 percent Christian.

    A former Muslim has commented on the internet that the degree of demands the Muslim community makes on a non-Muslim government depends on the percentage of Muslims that reside in that country. At 12% the Muslim community starts demanding some sharia laws and courts be accepted by the government. Over 20% and they start instituting severe sharia and muslim demands to take over the governments. This is one of the ways that you can tell how many muslims are in a country and what will happen to our country as the muslim population grows.
