There is mounting fear of religious persecution taking place in Tanzania as a result of attacks being made against Christian clergy, churches and some Muslim leaders. In a recent incident on September 13th, a priest in Zanzibar suffered severe burns after having acid poured on him by one or more militant Muslims just outside an Internet café. Rev. Anselm Mwang'amba, 61, received burns on his face, chest and arms. VOM sources report that although he cried out for help, the owners of the Internet café delayed in bringing needed water for the dilution of the burning acid.
