TANDUMA,
TANZANIA (Worthy News)– Two Christians have been killed and many more arrested across Tanzania over the ritual slaughter of livestock for sale.
In April, two Christians in Tunduma were killed while more than 60
others in the region were arrested just concerning the manner in which
animals are slaughtered.
In Tanzania, Muslims have traditionally carried out the slaughter of
animals to ensure all meat is halal, but now that custom is being
enforced as law by denying Christians the right to sell their own meat;
Christians are also prohibited from raising pigs in areas that are
predominantly Muslim.
One senior Christian leader told Barnabas Aid that Tanzania could be
Islamized within a decade if the Church doesn't decisively respond to
this latest Islamist demand.

A massive weather system carrying potentially severe thunderstorms, damaging winds and possibly even tornadoes was soaking the nation’s midsection on Thursday, with flash floods reported in Chicago and heavy rain expected to cause major flooding along the Mississippi River.
NewsNation's Tamron Hall reports on the massive storm which called flash flooding in Chicago.
Flooding in the Chicago area — with more than 4 inches of rain reported — closed major expressways and led the evacuations of residents stuck in flooded homes, apartments and a hospital.
Ten first responders among those killed. More the than 160 others were injured in explosion that officials say was likely an industrial accident.
WEST, Texas — About 35 people, including 10 first responders, were killed in the Texas fertilizer company explosion Wednesday night, West Mayor Tommy Muska said in an interview with USA TODAY.
The dead include five members of the West Volunteer Fire Department who were trying to put out the initial blaze, four EMS workers and an off-duty Dallas firefighter who pitched in to help, Muska said. Not all the bodies have been recovered but all are assumed dead.
Two volunteers who showed up to help fight the blaze are also missing and presumed dead, he said.
The rest of the fatalities include residents from nearby homes in the devastated four-block area of this small north-central Texas town 20 miles north of Waco, the mayor added.
"It's just a tragic, tragic incident," Muska said.
More than 160 others were injured, and about 75 homes were destroyed.
Emergency teams went house to house through mounds of debris Thursday in hopes of finding survivors of the earthquake-like blast at the West Fertilizer Co. that sent a ball of fire and burning embers into nearby home about 8 p.m. CT.
The blast, which rocked the ground with the force of a magnitude-2.1 earthquake, happened about a half mile from I-35 and could be felt as far as 45 miles away.
Officials said there was no initial indication that the blast was anything but an industrial accident, although agents from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were on the scene investigating the explosion.
The facility, which receives fertilizer by rail and distributes it to local farmers, did not have sprinklers or fire safety barriers required by state law, an official said.
