Tanzania: Two Church Buildings Burned Down, Threats to Burn Down Houses of Christians

Report: “Tanzania – Two Church Buildings Burned Down in Zanzibar”
Compass Direct News reports: “Two church buildings were razed Sunday night (June 28) on the island of Zanzibar after worship services. Suspected radical Muslims set the church buildings on fire on the outskirts of Unguja Township, on the Tanzanian island off the coast of East Africa, in what church leaders called the latest incidents of a rising tide of religious intolerance.”
report states “‘We don’t want churches on our street,’ read a flier dropped at the door of Charles Odilo, who had donated the plot on which the EAGT building stood. ‘Today we are going to burn the church, and if you continue we are going to burn your house also.'”
