Ethiopian Troops Enter Somalia To Threats of ‘Jihad'

The whole world should support Ethiopia, with the same assurance with which it supports Israel and the states of Western Europe, as well as the Philippines, India, and the other states threatened by the jihad. But this does not and will not happen, because the problem of jihad is still not being faced as such. Somali Jihad Update from AP:

MOGADISHU, Somalia — Hundreds of Ethiopian troops in armored vehicles rolled into Somalia yesterday to protect their allies in this country's virtually powerless government from Islamic militants who control the capital.

The move could give the American-backed Somali government its only chance of curbing the Islamic militia's increasing power. But Ethiopia's incursion could also be just the provocation the militia needs to build public support for a guerrilla war.

"We will declare jihad if the Ethiopian government refuses to withdraw their troops from Somalia," a top Islamic official, Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed, told the Associated Press.

There have Jihad attacks in over 40 countries in the past few years. These people are at war with the world...as per the Quran. It's 1938 and not enough people are connecting the dots. World WarII did not start as a massive conflict. It was a series of smaller wars that aggregated into a big one. The Islamists know what their goals are, the west refuses to speak openly out of political correctness or flat out cowardice. Who is going to be the next Neville Chamberlain? I think it was Dean Rusk who said, "Appeasement just makes the agressor more aggressive". That is where the Western governments are failing its citizens. Thanks Jihad Watch for letting me rant.

It would only be a matter of time before the islamists from Somalia invaded Ethopia anyways. Its good Ethopia is taking the fight to them, always better to fight on your terms. Ethopia is almost surrounded by islamic countries and it looks like they understand the seriousness of the situation.

Hopefully the USA will send Ethopia "covert" funds and other "help" like they did the Somali warlords. Don't expect any help from the EU, in fact expect condemnation from them for the "invasion".

"The whole world should support Ethiopia, with the same assurance with which it supports Israel and the states of Western Europe, as well as the Philippines, India, and the other states threatened by the jihad."

Ummm. Considering the way most of the world is NOT supporting Israel, but instead boo-hoo-hooing about the "disproportional" response and talking about negotiating a settlement where one of the parties has repeatedly said there's nothing to negotiate, that's not what I wish on Ethiopia, Western Europe, the Phillipines, India, etc.

Seeing Spain's PM donning a kefiya is just about enough to make me hope Zapastupidero is still in office when the local detachment of the Muslim Bros. starts trying to reclaim Al-Andaluse for the Caliphate and see if that clears the smarmy idiot grin off of his kisser.

Not quite on topic, but I sure hope I live to see the day when people concede that Israel's (hopefully successful) handling of Hezbollah at this juncture was as prescient as knocking out Saddam's nuclear weapons facility at Osirak back in '83.

Waterdragon52,

I agree. The world has hardly shown much "assurance" in terms of supporting Israel's need to defend its borders. It will be interesting to see the contrast between the often antisemitic abuse heaped on Israel and what the world says about Ethiopia.

Waterdragon52 is right. If a fight is identified as a Jihad, usually that's a reason for Western governments to gang up against the infidels in question. Why just Israel - look at the way India was asked by the US to demonstrate its proof about Paki involvement. At one level, there is poetic justice in the Indian dhimmi government getting its just deserts, but I doubt that this is how the State Department meant it.

Ethiopian Troops are well trained and for an African nation well equipped, jihad away.

"and I feel fine"

I think it might be the start of the end but I wish it would hurry up. If the cowards in syria would hurry and counter attack we could get this thing rockin. 1400 years of payback, this will be one heck of a ride. Watch within a few months of the real war starting hundreds of thousands of muslims will suddenly attempt to distance themselves from islam. They will claim “we were muslim in name only, we didn’t follow the jihad way”. Read a few history books, islam has to go, I would rather fight them while we are the most powerful military every built than twenty years from now. So common followers of old mo, line up, put your jihad shoes on and for once show some bravery. We all realize Israel and palestine have very little to do with this. They think the idea of jihad is powerful, I think they are wrong the most powerful force ever conceived is FREEDOM. Try and take mine and we got a few things to talk about.

"to see the day when people concede that Israel's (hopefully successful) handling of Hezbollah at this juncture was as prescient as knocking out Saddam's nuclear weapons facility at Osirak back in '83"
-- from a posting above

The analogy is almost exact, First, cruel and stupid and blind denunciation by too many, of what Israel had to do, the result in many cases of a malevolence, an anti-Israel bias that is lurking just below the surface, so ready to emerege, and of course, the incomprehension of people who read the headlines, and see what is placed in front of them, but do not have the ability to think, even for a minute, about what is not in front of them, what had to have been happening, and what would certainly happen in the future, to prompt the act of self-defense, by Israel, which is the only thing they do focus on, and because they lack the context, do not see clearly, to the extent they would if their own country or lives were at stake, the precise nature of that "self-defense."

Much of the world, its apprehension of men and events molded entirely, and misleadingly, by the reporters, and the policies, of such organizations as the BBC (which, when it comes to the Middle East, has for years been a virtual handmaiden of Arab propaganda, its reporters comical in their bias, its language the language of Arab propaganda manuals, even its choice of "experts" skewed in favor of would-be suicide bombers such as Azzam Tamimi or, for the plausible British "expert," somone like George Joffe who has a long history of business involvement -- as that mysterious thing, a "consultant" (just google "George Joffe" and "MEC" and "Menas" to start your investigation)). The BBC's coverage is not a whit different from that of The Guardian. And the same kind of eye-rubbing-in-disbelief bias can be found in the French press and radio and television, and of course elsewhere. For the past 30 years, Arab propgaganda has had a free hand in Europe, ably abetted by the 10-15% of the population, the minimum percentage of the population in the Western world that can reasonably be described as antisemitic, a subset of the general population which, naturally, is "disproprtionately" represented among those who choose to specialize in Middle Eastern matters -- what a wonderful way to combine the business of a job with the pleasure of a plausible and acceptable outlet for one's innate antisemitism.

And of course, people see some things, and do not see others. They see a photograph of a bombed-out building or section of a very small part of southern Beirut, the section which was held in fiefdom by Nasrallah and Hezbollah. They do not see all the buildings left standing everywhere else. No one shows photographs of the Christian, Druze, and Sunni Arab neighborhoods. No one points out that the only bombs that have been dropped that affect the others have been a single one dropped on a moving truck, deemed suspicious (rockets inside) in a single attack in a Christian neighborhood, severa attacks on Lebanese army installations believed manned by those who helped Hexbollah with its attacks on Israeli naval vessels, and of course the Beirut airport, as well as some bridges and roads to the Hezbollah strongholds in southern Lebanon, and to Syria, which of course carry those 12,000-15,000 missiles, and those Iranian agents, and other "volunteers" in and out, and since the airport does not have one terminal marked "Hezbollah" and the bridges and roads hit do not have special markings that would indicate just which lane to hit ("This Lane Only for Hezbollah") they had to be hit. And if some people do not comprehend this, then one must ask: what the hell did they expect would happen if they ignored their solemn commitment to disarm Hezbollah, as every other militia was disarmed, what did they expect would happen if they permitted, over six years or perhaps even longer, the steady arming of Hezbollah (12,000-15,000 missiles coming in is a lot of missiles for the government of Lebanon to overlook, to pretend aren't there, to airily insist that "that's Israel's problem." No, it isn't. That is one of the points, and a very important it is, that is being made today. No country, not Lebanon, not Jordan, not Egypt, not any, can simply think it will forever be unscathed if it permits terrorist groups to build up and build up and build up. Was it not that famous appeaser, and denouncer of Israel, the celebrated Jacques Chirac, of a once and possibly future France, who on January 12 of this year announced to an audience of French military men that should any state harbor terrorists who took France as their target, he, M. Jacques Chirc, President de la Republique, would not hestitate to attack that harboring country with any and every weapon in the French armory, including nuclear weapons. Yet Chirac, who did not hesitate even to destroy, on the ground, the entire airforce (all seven planes) of the airforce of the Cote d'Ivoire, and whose troops readily shot down dozens or possibly hundreds of Ivoirians, inside the Cote d'Ivoire, with no authority from the U.N. or anyone else, save that authority self-assigned from the Elysee Palace itself, dares to lecture Israel, fighting for its life, fighting not to have 15,000 missiles flung at its territory, including its third largest cities, as 1,000 of those missiles have been in the last ten days.

Oh, there's a little phony symmetary. Four-fifths of the BBC coverage, for example, seems designed to whip up our outrage over Israel, and the BBC reportres without fail try to get the Lebanese, including those fleeing Lebanon, to be as graphic as they can be, to express as much hostility toward Israel as they can. Since most of those leaving are of course Shi'a who had been visitng other Shi'a (how many Christians in the villages north of Beirut are fleeing? How many Druse? How many Sunni Arabs are leaving?), it isn't hard to do. But does the BBC remind, or even hint, that the very people it is interviewing are, in many cases, Hezbollah supporters or if Westerners in Lebanon on holiday or at work, political naifs? Again and again the real story are those 12,00-15,000 missiles, those goosestepping black-balaclaved bezonians, those Iranian agents, those Syrian collaborators.

It is of course fascinating to think what would have happened had World War II been fought under the same conditions, with the same kind of enemy sympathizers encconced in Western media. Imagine Larry King having on Joseph Goebbels, to present his side of the story. Oh, Larry King would give him some tough questions, wouldn't he? Imagine those BBC reporters in Czechoslovakia, in 1938,m reporting on the lovely German inns in Sudetenland, and the elderly parents of Henlein, and "This, then, is the Sudeteneland. All about us we see German churches, German schools, German museums, German festivals. The people here who proudly call themselves German have been here, it seems, forever. And all they way, they tell us, is to be allowed to have their legitimate rights. And all Mr. Hitler is asking for, it has to be admitted, is for the Sudeteners, as he calls them, to be given their legiitimate rights, to be let free by those domineering Czechs, whose police and army units are everywhere. Perhaps there is a case to be made for Czechoslovakia. No doubt there are two sides to every story. But, standing here, after a week of seeing how the riots in the Sudetenland have been put down so brutally by the Czech authorities, it is hard to see anything but the side of the brutalized people here, hard to see anything right or just or legitimate in the behavior of the Czech government of Mr. Masaryk and Mr. Benes. It is hard not to sympathize with the claims of Chancellor Hitler, even if he does express himself in somewhat unpleasant and, in English terms, rather excitable terms. This is (Orla Guerlin, Barbara Plett, Judy Swallow, Robin Lustig, Julian Marshall, Owen Bennett-Jones) reporting to you from the Sudetenalnd."

And that's what sensible people, people who have kept their moral wits about them, people who actually have bothered to learn something, are confronted with every day.

This is intolerable. This cannot go on. The peoples of the Western world are being grossly misinformed. The international bureaucrats of the E.U. and the U.N. have been deeply penetrated by the agents, and collaborators, of the Islamintern International, who have spread every kind of misinformation, not only about Israel (the victim of merely the initial Lesser Jihad, the one that preouccupied the Muslim Arabs until the OPEC trillions, and the tens of millions of Muslims permitted to settle behind enemy lines, as the Muslims themselves clearly regard them, changed the nature of things, and allowed for the pursuit, on a world scale, of the Jiahd -- through qital or combat, through the money weapon, through campaigns of Da'wa targetting the most vulnerable Westeern popoulations, and most importantly through demographic conquest, and with that last, the demands, that will never let up, for changes in the domestic arrangmeents -- the legal and political and social institutions, including the systematic infringement on individual rights so carefully built up in the West, by those ever-growing and ever-more blatant and meancing groups of Muslims within the Lands of the Infidels.

Typing with two fingers, I can't keep up with Hugh but well said.

It is time that America release several million pounds of bombs on the mos in somlia to end this war.

Hugh, excellent post as usual, one correction. That truck that was targeted in the Christian Part of Beirut, was a well drilling truck and from the air it's configuration looked like a mobile rocket launcher.

An honest mistake, better safe than sorry, but it also tells you how good the Israeli's are, if they can espy a truck in a Christian neighborhood that looks like a mobile missle launcher...that's awesome, much better me thinks than our own military can do.

Go Israel, give me an I, give me an s, give me an r an a, e and l, and give the Muslim fanatics what they deserve a living, holy hell (also what they want as well, given that they are addicted to, embrace, wallow in and enjoy suffering and death -err shahidiyya (martyrdom).

Hugh wrote: "It is of course fascinating to think what would have happened had World War II been fought under the same conditions, with the same kind of enemy sympathizers encconced in Western media."

Let me give you a more sinister example - Imagine the NY Times writing a story about the upcoming Dolittle Raid on Japan in '42. Writing that article in February 1942 because the Times was doing the citizens a service telling them about a foolish and probably suicidal mission. Also to sell the point that we were going to lose the war and should immediately negotiate a settlement to save the soldiers marooned in the Philippines. Who were we to be so arrogant to embargo raw materials intended for Japan. It was not our business what they did in China. It was our own fault that the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor.

Imagine the Times writing an article criticizing the wasteful expenditures going on in the hills of East Tennessee, New Mexico, and Washington. The writer believes that the this "nucular fishin" stuff will not work. He is after all performing a public service.

That is exactly what kind of "public service" the media is doing now.

Do not forget that these are the same Press people that drew the world into the conflict in the former Yugoslavia.

What else do I need to say?

Hugh, you little Nazi Jew, have I not told you by creating synagogue of hate, it is a matter of time you are crying Anti-Semitic, meaning someone hates the Jews? I thought the Arabs you hate so much and obsess are also Semitics, so can one call you Anti-Semitic as well?

Take your bloody hands off Somalia, Ethiopia has no right to cross into Somalia, it already has our land. Ethiopia is also 60% Muslim, so what are you going to do, cry that Somalia is invading the infidel land or it this another ploy to exterminate the Negros of this world one Negro at time, just like you sadist are exterminating Muslims one muslim at a time, the African is being killed one African at time, from Liberia, to Senegal, to Congo, to Sudan,to Somalia,to Eritria, to Ethiopia, to Rwanda, Nigiria etc. We Somalis must be the wet dreams of the Racist who not only are wiping the Muslim but also wiping the Africans, caging the African into little cages. It did not escape our attention when the USA introduce 7 drug addicted black faces, whom one can tell were cull from Prison as “ terrorist” Please! It does not take genius to know that the reason these seven African American were brought in front of the world is to tell the Americans and the world, look TERROR ALSO HAS BLACK FACE, just like when the US backed warlords were running around hijacking the boats of Somalia coast, and US was sending the “Great White Fleat” to defends the “Jihadist” from hijacking boats of the waters of Somalia, great advertisement for the ‘WAR ON TERROR” great advertisement to say world look the Somalis are terrorist, turn your attention to Somalia, because that is where our sadistic weapons will be turning soon to Somalia. Freeing the soul of a Somali from its body, should we perhaps vote “democratically” to one of your puppets more suited your taste, and will you be bring a purple ink to show that we voted to your liking, which says a purple finger or purple body your choice nigger/ rag head? What shame and sham this war on terror turn out to be, disgusting!

FYI the so call Muslim courts/Islamic Courter or whatever name they call themselves are nothing but the warlords who were raping our daughter change shirts, and now call themselves another name and are still holding Mogadishu hostage, so are we all Jihadist? Are we the same as the men who raped us in the Mosques, or in front of our father? You are sadistic people.

You are forgetting that we are AFRICAN before we are Muslim; we have the same problem that the rest of AFRICA shares with us, whether that African is Christian, or Muslim. We don’t produce weapons neither do we produce the bullets that are chasing us out of our homes. Each nation is suffering from a unique death squats prim to the teeth with western made weapons who chase the African out of her house, and cage her and her child into little cages and call them refugee. Cages were they get rape, contract AIDS, were they are handed drugs and alcohol, even the poor Kalahari men and women are not excempt of this cruelty, reminds me of the situation the Native American are living in their native land of USA!
Having said that who is Terrorist I wonder?
