But remember, to believe this conflict has anything to do with Islamic teachings on jihadist warfare or the ideology that drives it would just be downright Islamophobic. "Radical Somali leader defends peacekeepers' killings," from CNN, September 20:
(CNN) -- A radical Islamist leader in Somalia said Sunday that a suicide attack that killed 21 African Union peacekeepers was the right thing to do.
Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys said Thursday's attack was meant to defend Islam.
"The Islamic religion permits such kinds of attacks if they are against known enemies and in the defense of the religion, but there are people who distort that explanation," Aweys said, addressing hundreds of people during a religious sermon at Elashabiyaha, a suburb of Mogadishu.
He beat the apologists to the punch on that one.
Suicide bombers, disguised in two U.N.-marked vehicles, rammed through the security gate of the mission's headquarters, which is attached to Mogadishu's airport.
They detonated explosives just as Somalia's transitional government and mission representatives concluded a high-level meeting inside the compound, said Nicolas Bwakira, the African Union's special representative for Somalia.
The attack killed four Somali civilians and 17 Ugandan and Burundian soldiers, including the mission's second-in-command, Burundian Maj. Gen. Juvenal Niyonguruza, he said.
The force commander, Ugandan Maj. Gen. Nathan Mugisha, was among the 40 wounded. He assumed command of the African Union Mission in Somalia -- known as AMISOM -- last month.
Al-Shabaab, the Islamist militia with ties to al Qaeda, claimed responsibility for the attack, according to the African Union.
The strike happened days after U.S. special forces targeted and killed a senior al Qaeda operative in southern Somalia.
Analysts hailed the death of Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan as a major blow to al Qaeda's efforts to work with Al-Shabaab to try to gain a foothold in the lawless country.
Aweys condemned the killing of Nebhan.
"The U.S. government is responsible for all problems on the Muslin [sic] nation particularly on the Somalis," he said....
And the alleged persecution of Muslin nations is a vast Nylon-ist conspiracy (28% Spandex).
"The Islamic religion permits such kinds of attacks if they are against known enemies and in the defense of the religion, but there are people who distort that explanation,"
Yeah, people like Obama, Pelosi, pretty much every MSM newscaster/reporter, millions of useful idiots and dhimmis......the list goes on and on.
No, come on guys, Islam is all about "peace" and "love" and "harmony." Really, it is the "religion of peace" especially when Muslims keep blowing up people day after day after day....
"the death of Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan" wasnt such a blow after all was it?
"The Islamic religion permits such kinds of attacks if they are against known enemies and in the defense of the religion, but there are people who distort that explanation,"
I am extremely pleased that Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys got the jump on the apologists. They surely would have explained it away as "an act of human destruction" or something to that effect.
"The U.S. government is responsible for all problems on the Muslin [sic] nation particularly on the Somalis," he said...."
But...but....I thought is was all the fault of the jooz!
Oh yeah, I forgot, they control the US government.......
Infidels! They are only kuffars.........

"The U.S. government is responsible for all problems on the Muslim nation particularly on the Somalis," he said.
Typical muslim response, nothing is their fault it's always the fault of the non-muslims.
""The U.S. government is responsible for all problems on the Muslin [sic] nation particularly on the Somalis," he said...."
In case the Somalis haven't noticed...it's not the US or any Infidel nation that is running wild with the amputations, floggings, stonings, executions, the horrific dress codes , the religious police, and the demonic Shar'ia law..let's not forget the Shar'ia kangaroo court system, the warlord mentality of all the armed gangs running around saying the Qur'an gives the authority to kill at will, or the extortion rackets that deprive its citizens of the ability to earn an honest wage, the forced marriages of young girls, the prevention of foreign countries providing free vaccinations and health care....and let's not forget the ill will felt by those shipping companies that ply the waters of the coast that is felt every time Somali pirates attack.....
Somalia does have many problems and almost all, if not all, are caused by the Muslims themselves...
Western nations should no longer even try to help them with food, medicine, money, education, teachers, and other forms of good will...the Muslims have cleary demonstrated they don't want it and they are not worthy to get it...
Stay away from Somalia, let it wallow in its self inflicted Islamic misery...it is what they want...
As a matter of fact Infidel, we can do anything we want as long as it's in support of mohammedanism. Lying, cheating, Rape, torture, theft, pedophilia, slavery, cruelty to animals, human shields, teaching toddlers hatred, female genital mutilation, attaching bombs to the mentally ill, beheading live men woman and children, cannibalism, killing our own daughters, welfare fraud, amputations, and innumerable more wholesome acts....... It's all GOOD and well if it's done to further the kingdom of mo' and al'.
Muslim elites are using vulnerable black Africans to rape, murder and enslave black Africa (as islam has always done in black Africa). An unspeakable tragedy in the making.
