There go the glorious mujahedin, keeping pious believers safe from the hazards of education and a better life. "British headteacher shot dead in Somalia in raid on school by Islamist militia," by Xan Rice and Helen Pidd for The Guardian:
A British headteacher who was shot dead in Somalia by Islamist insurgents may have been targeted because he was a Christian convert, his wife said yesterday.
Daud Hassan Ali, 64, was killed outside the Hiran community education project English school in Beledweyne in central Somalia late on Sunday night, along with Rehana Ahmed, 33, a fellow British Somali teacher. She was reported to have been shot in the head.
Militiamen from the Shabab rebel group also killed two Kenyan teachers after forcing them out of their houses at the school, 190 miles north-west of the capital Mogadishu. A senior commander with the Shabab yesterday claimed the teachers had died in crossfire.
Ali, the school's headmaster and founder, moved to Britain in 1967, and worked as a teacher and later as an educational psychologist for Birmingham city council. He made regular trips back to Somalia and in 2004 returned to Beledweyne, where he was born, to establish the school for 110 pupils.
From her home in Birmingham yesterday, his wife, Margaret, 64, said that her husband might have been targeted because he had converted to Christianity. She said: "The school he established is run in a house which is also where he lives - there are various disgruntled factions running around and because he is a convert to Christianity from Islam then he is a target. They raided the house in the middle of the night and murdered all four people there."
She said establishing the school had been Ali's lifelong dream. "He always wanted to go back to Somalia and do something for his own people." She added: "He was a great optimist and saw good things in everything - I will continue to pray for the people of Somalia and eventually some good may come out of this."
Yesterday, one of Ali's two sons, Robleh Tinning, 32, said: "He wasn't trying to convert anyone, he was just trying to teach English. He always had a grand project on the go. If something needs doing, someone has to stand up and say they are going to do it and that is what he did. He was a doer, not a moaner." [...]
A local reporter in Beledweyne, who asked to remain anonymous, said Ethiopian soldiers who had normally been based in the town had moved out on Sunday to reinforce troops elsewhere, and that within hours the Shabab militia had taken over the town.
After burning the governor's house, and freeing prisoners from jail, the militiamen headed for the school compound, where they overpowered the three security guards and forced the foreign teachers outside, the reporter said.
Mukhtar Ali Robow, of the Shabab, told Reuters his men had attacked Beledweyne, but he claimed: "Their guards shot at us and we shot back."
The jihadis do love to kill schoolteachers, don't they? Afghanistan, Somalia, southern Thailand - if the teacher teaches anything but Islam, Islam, Islam, it seems to be grounds for execution.
Islam = reverse darwinism: rewarding aggression, fatalism, stupidity and sociopathy; killing off anyone who exhibits the smallest glimmer of intelligence, creativity and/ or compassion.
Two very telling quotes from the article:
"His wife, Margaret, 64, said that her husband might have been targeted because he had converted to Christianity".
"Yesterday, one of Ali's two sons, Robleh Tinning, 32, said: "He wasn't trying to convert anyone, he was just trying to teach English. He always had a grand project on the go. If something needs doing, someone has to stand up and say they are going to do it and that is what he did. He was a doer, not a moaner."
'He was a doer, not a moaner'.
Interesting - Mr Ali, who had converted to christianity, was also a go-getter, an educator, that is: he was free of the aggression and paralysing fatalism that Islam inculcates.
For Mr Ali and his fellow-teachers:
requiem aeternam dona eis Domine
et lux perpetua luceat eis.
Islam is a criminal organization.
Repeat: Islam is a criminal organization...
"Islam = reverse darwinism: rewarding aggression, fatalism, stupidity and sociopathy; killing off anyone who exhibits the smallest glimmer of intelligence, creativity and/ or compassion. "
remember this as you watch them walk your streets and then write the goverment and request them to tighten the immigration laws.
Let's see, no education, no free thought, women are just possessions, heretics are dead men walking and you have to fight infidels wherever you find them.
And you want to become a Muslim because..................?
I couldn't come up with a rational reason either.
Will the world ever wake up in time to stop this plague called Islam? What will it take?
The jihadis do love to kill schoolteachers, don't they?

Islam cannot stand the light of day. Witness the non-Arab Muslims who were repelled once they knew what the Koran really said.
Islam cannot survive once people know there is another way. Accordingly, teachers of anything but the koran are antithetical to Islam and must be done away with.
