Sheikh Abdul Karim was gunned down on April 20th 2012 along William street, moments after he left masjid Noor mosque on the same road.
Security suspect that Sentamu was still in contact with Jamir Mukulu, the former leader of the DR Congo-based Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) rebels; he could, therefore, have been killed by the ADF.[2][3][4]
Early Life
[edit]Ssentamu was born on 2 February 1962 in Kampala Uganda , in a village called bwaise in Kawempe division. He undertook his initial studies with his father sheikh Abdul Noor Ssentamu who was also a Muslim scholar. He later joined Bilal Islamic primary school in bwaise. He later joined Bilal Islamic secondary school and later Madinah University in Saudi Arabia where he graduated with a degree in sharia in 1980s.[5] He continued studies at Imam Muhammad university also and got a masters degree in sharia in 1988. Abdul Karim was identified as a Salafi.
Views
[edit]Ssentamu opposed terrorism and has pledged his aid in curbing religious extremism in Uganda. On 31 March 2010, he urged Muslims to avoid Muslim—Christian violence, arguing that Muslims and Christians are brothers and sisters from one father, the prophet Adam. He blamed the ADF for misleading the Muslim youth that Muslims are supposed to indulge in senseless killing of innocent people.
In 2009 when Abdul Karim Sentamu returned to Uganda from United Kingdom where he had lived for over five years, he opposed the sell of Muslim properties by the mufti of Uganda Sheikh Shaba Ramadhan Mubajje.[6]
