From Uganda (via):

Islamic extremists threw acid on a church leader on Christmas Eve shortly after a seven-day revival at his church, leaving him with severe burns that have blinded one eye and threaten sight in the other. 

Bishop Umar Mulinde, 37, a sheikh before his conversion to Christianity, was attacked on Saturday night outside his Gospel Life Church International building in Namasuba, about 10 kilometers outside of Kampala. From his hospital bed in Kampala, he told Compass that he was on his way back to the site for a party with the entire congregation and hundreds of new converts to Christianity when a man who claimed to be a Christian approached him.

“I heard him say in a loud voice, ‘Pastor, pastor,’ and as I made a turn and looked at him, he poured the liquid onto my face as others poured more liquid on my back and then fled away shouting, ‘Allahu akbar [God is great],’” Mulinde said, still visibly traumatized two days after the assault. 

It's not just the apostasy. Mulinde also argued against the introduction of Sharia courts:

Mulinde said Muslim extremists opposed to his conversion from Islam and his outspoken opposition of sharia (Islamic law) courts in Uganda, known in East Africa as Kadhi courts, attacked him. On Oct. 15, area Muslim leaders declared a fatwa against him demanding his death. 

“I have been receiving several threats for a long time, and this last one is the worst of all,” Mulinde said…

Mulinde is known for debates locally and internationally in which he often challenges Muslims regarding their religion. His extensive knowledge and quotation of the Quran in his preaching has won him enemies and friends. Often criticizing Islam, he has relied on police protection during revival campaigns throughout Uganda. 

 And now the Islamists have answered his criticism, in their own inimitable way.
