Christian advocacy groups are raising concerns over a bill in Uganda that would establish a parallel court system based on Sharia law. The Islamic judicial system would handle marriage, divorce, custody, and other personal law matters for Muslim marriages, but could potentially impact Christians and non-Muslims implicated in certain cases. ADF International director Kelsey Zorzi warned that the bill's passage would represent a dangerous expansion of Sharia law into Sub-Saharan Africa at a time when Christian persecution is increasing. The courts could also result in consequences for Muslims who renounce Islam and trust in Jesus Christ. The majority of Uganda's population considers themselves Christians.
