"Harassment?" Bad. Suicide truck bomb? A-OK, apparently. Boko Haram, with whom al-Shabaab is said to have a growing alliance, must be so proud. An update on this story. "Somali Bomber Who Killed 100 Slammed Education," from the Associated Press, October 6:
MOGADISHU, Somalia – The Somali suicide bomber who killed more than 100 people, including students seeking scholarships, in an attack near the education ministry was a school dropout who had declared that young people should forget about secular education and instead wage jihad.
Bashar Abdullahi Nur, who detonated a massive blast Tuesday that covered the capital in dust more than a half-mile away, had given an interview before the attack that was later aired on a militant-run radio station.
"Now those who live abroad are taken to a college and never think about the hereafter. They never think about the harassed Muslims," he said. "He wakes up in the morning, goes to college and studies and accepts what the infidels tell him, while infidels are massacring Muslims."
The U.N. said Thursday that more than 100 people had died in the explosion in Mogadishu.
Dozens were wounded, including Somalia's deputy health minister. Tuesday's attack killed some of Somalia's brightest young minds, including students gathered around a notice board to learn about the results of scholarships from the Turkish government.
The attack took place near a building housing several government ministries, and it was not immediately clear what was the precise target. However, it is not the first time the al-Qaida-linked militants have targeted students. In 2009, the al-Shabab group attacked a graduation ceremony, killing medical students and doctors.
Jihad causes poverty:
"These attacks, which targeted some of the country's very few university-level students, as well as the dedicated civil servants working to enhance Somali public institutions and social services under extremely difficult circumstances, are a direct blow to the fabric -- and future -- of the nation," said Shamsul Bari, the U.N.'s independent human rights expert in Somalia.
Al-Shabab has vowed to increase attacks "day by day" as part of an effort to defeat the weak U.N.-backed Somali government and the 9,000 African Union peacekeepers stationed in the country.
The ultraconservative Islamist group is known for the hard punishments it metes out against people, such as chopping off the hands of thieves [Qur'an 5:38] and stoning adulterers to death [Sahih Bukhari 8.82.816]. The group considers the secular education as a form of Western invasion into the minds of the Muslims.
Suicide bombings, unheard of in Somalia before 2007, have become increasingly frequent....
Jihad causes lack of (valid) education.
".. it was not immediately clear what was the precise target."
The precise target? does it really matter? blood is blood. Muslim blood or non-muslim blood, it doesn't really matter. Allah is happy when humans are cut to pieces, that's what really matters. All he needs is blood.

Bashar Abdullahi Nur said that Muslim students chose to study "while infidels are massacring Muslims."
So, just to show what they should be doing, he massacres even more Muslims.
The twisted logic 'inspired' by Islam defies any kind of reason.
And of course the psychotic muslims (being pschychotic, lack any conscience), never think of how they have harrassed the world, starting with the arabs, for 1380 years, and the rest of the world has been defending itself from the cult of the devil, the gullible, the weak of backbone, continuously (think of Tours, Vienna, Crusades, and all the many, many, islam crusader's incursions over the centuries).
This creep just illustrated in word and deed why we work to repel the uniquely ungodly devil invaders (not even atheists, just weak minded, utterly ignorant, gullible lazy fools), on the plains, the mountains, the moors or the shores of Tripoli, against the "dearth invaders" of the federation of western unconquerable states of the world.
From the article:

Yes. Can't you just imagine the excited faces of the prospective scholarship (beca) recipients?!
What were they thinking as the bomb went off?
This is really sad...how insane are these people?
This is directly as scripted by the Islamist manifesto 'The Management of Savagery'. The gist of this work is that any imaginable level of savagery is blessed by God if it results in the collapse of secular government and its replacement with an 'Islamic State'. Apparantly, an Islamic State has no use for young people who know how to think, or for doctors who know how to heal, etc. Since it has no use for them, they must be killed. The logic is so clear even a suicide bomber can understand it.
Just Google 'Management of Savagery'. There are multiple translations of the document out there. I reads exactly like the Koran and cites it repeatedly.
MOS is an authentic, Islamist document. It is also something that both the Islamists and their apologists in the West would rather sweep under the rug. At some point it will probably no longer be available in English translation.
I assume that you have made copies onto your hard disk?
Anything of this kind, whether audio-visual or written, that one fears may be 'scrubbed', should be downloaded or copied the moment that it is spotted, and then copied, and copied, and copied.
Audio-visual can be burnt onto dvds at home (this is what my husband did with 'Fitna' and 'Submission'.
Text can simply be copied onto a file on one's own computer, and then printed off as hardcopy on paper.
Modern desktop printing makes the production and circulation of samizdat very, very easy indeed.
