Islamic fundamentalists can't stop us from being Christians – Agyin-Asare
Founder of Perez Chapel International Bishop
charles Agyin-Asare has said it is high time
Christians stood up for their freedom to worship
in the wake of festering Islamic fundamentalism
and terrorist attacks on Christianity.

"We won’t keep quiet anymore because one of the
charters of the UN is that everybody should have
freedom of worship, however, some people believe
that they should kill others so that they are the
only people who can worship their 'whoever',"
Bishop Agyin-Asare said on Easter Sunday in direct
reference to al-Shabab’s massacre of 148
students, staff and police at Garissa University
College in Kenya on Thursday.


"It’s unfortunate; it’s high time the UN did
something about it and we are going to do
something about it," he said.

Kenya held three days of mourning for the 148
victims of the militant group’s attack.


Easter ceremonies were held on Sunday to remember
the dead.

President Uhuru Kenyatta has vowed to respond to
the attack "in the severest way possible".

One of the gunmen has been identified as the son
of a government official, the interior ministry
has said.

He was named as Abdirahim Abdullahi, whose father
is a local chief in Mandera County in the
north-east of the country.

"The father had reported to security agents that
his son had disappeared from home... and was
helping the police try to trace his son by the
time the Garissa terror attack happened," ministry
spokesman Mwenda Njoka said.

Four gunmen were killed during the siege, and
officials said they were holding five people for
questioning.

Bishop Agyin-Asare said Sunday that Christianity
was the panacea to Islamic fundamentalism and
terrorism.

"The reason why Islamist fundamentalists are
behaving the way they are doing is because we
haven’t given them the gospel," he said, adding:
"If we had taken the Bible to them, they would not
take the gun or the sword."

In his estimation, there are more than 200 million
Islamic fundamentalists in the world on a
religious cleansing campaign aimed at
exterminating all Christians from the face of the
earth.

According to his calculations, if between 10 and
17 per cent of Muslims are thought to be
fundamentalists, then it means more than 200
million of the world’s 1.2 billion Muslim
population is targeting Christians to harm them
for being Christians.
