According to the police, a mutilated torso which was earlier in the week discovered in Kabuuma Zone, about half a kilometre away from Kiggundu's farm was probably Pasikali's The torso was described as belonging to a young man and had no genitals.
The most "dangerous terrorist" is not Islam but God. One of God's names is the avenger of blood. Have you worshipped that God yet?
It is this message that was exported to Uganda in early May. And it is a call that has been answered.
Lou Engle was the latest American Evangelical to go to Uganda. ABC Nightline News has a good piece on the Ugandan "Kill the Gays" Bill and the direct connection to the rabid anti-gay movement in the US. Three evangelicals from the United States - Scott Lively, Caleb Lee Brundidge, and Don Schmierer - held a three-day conference on homosexuality in Kampala, Uganda, in March 2009. Scott Lively, professional gay-hater, holocaust revisionist, and recognized hate group leader from the US, traveled to Uganda to whip up anti-gay animus in the country. Video of Lively at this conference shows him saying gay people were behind the Nazi holocaust and labeling all gay people as child molesters.
The ties between the anti-gay atmosphere in Uganda and American Evangelicals is deep and dark.
The dangerous climate in Uganda for LGBT people isn't disappearing as the Anti-Homosexuality Bill winds its way to what looks like defeat. The rhetoric used by proponents of the bill, including Americans like Lou Engle and Ugandans like Pastor Martin Ssempa, have sewn seeds for increased violence and bloodshed.
The danger isn't over if the bill gets defeated once and for at all. The effects of the debate surrounding it, and the deep ties and support from the American far right, will be felt for generations.
They have called for martyrs and bloodshed and gotten their answer.
Author's Note:It appears that some of the details about the motivation behind the violent beheading of Pasikali Kashusbe and his connection to LGBT rights group Integrity Uganda are still very much in question. A story that some connected to the beheading, the apparent disappearance of a Rev. Henry Kayizzi Nsubuga after what was reported to be a "pro-gay sermon", does indeed seem to be a hoax. I didn't include that side story in the original post for exactly that reason- it seemed odd and hard to corroborate. You can get the background on that story and how it is unfolding over at Box Turtle Bulletin, who is doing great work on the subject.

Working on an update now- it seems that part of the information that some had connected (a disappearance of a Rev in Uganda) to the beheading is indeed a hoax. That's why I didn't include that side story in the original post at all.
The beheading is real, but the motivation for it is fuzzy.

The actual beheading is not being called into question, just the motivations behind it. Read my update on the story here: New Questions Around Uganda Beheading, but Situation for LGBTs Remains the Same.
