Kenya church attack by MuslimsKenya Muslims 

On September 16th. This Christian church in the Majengo district of Mombasa, Kenya, was attacked by riotersKenya Muslims                                                The store room of the Salvation Army church in the Muslim district of Majengo in Mombasa, Kenya, was torched by rioters


On the Sunday morning after their church was attacked by unprovoked Muslims, forcing their pastor of the church and his injured wife and their daughter to flee, a handful of the curious and devout shuffled through the ring of police outside, through the smoke-stained entrance and gingerly around shards of glass to take seats inside. Shock filled the hushed sanctuary.
The Salvation Army church had stood in Mombasa, Kenya’s second largest city, since before the country was declared independent in 1963. Regulars said they’d always maintained neighborly relations with the impoverished Muslims who lived around them. Now that world of harmony was as shattered as the windows lying around their feet."It was as if there was a war here. Stones were flying," recalled Herbert Kaduki, an elder of the church. "They were specifically targeting us."
