Somali jihadist: Kenya-Israel defense cooperation aimed at "destroying Muslim people and their religion"

Of course, none of this has anything to do with how al-Shabaab has been behaving. They were just going along, minding their business, waging jihad to impose Sharia while linking up with al-Qaeda and abducting aid workers from Kenya, and someone so rudely decided to resist. Someone they can't starve into submission.

"Somali militant bashes Kenya-Israel security pact," by Abdi Guled for the Associated Press, November 15:

MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — A spokesman for the Somali militant group al-Shabab said Tuesday that Kenya's prime minister recently visited Israel to seek assistance in "destroying Muslim people and their religion."
Sheik Ali Mohamud Rage also warned Kenya that it still has a chance to withdraw its forces from neighboring Somalia because "things have not begun in earnest," a likely reference to threats to carry out terror attacks in Nairobi, Kenya's capital.
The office of Kenya's prime minister said Monday that Kenya received the backing of Israeli leaders to help Kenya fight what it called "fundamentalist elements." Kenyan Prime Minster Raila Odinga visited Israel Sunday and Monday and sought help building the capacity of his country's security forces.
Kenyan troops last month moved into Somalia to fight al-Shabab militants who in return promised reprisal terror attacks in Nairobi.
"We tell Kenya that things have not began in earnest yet and it is now a month on. You still have a chance to go back to your border," Rage said.
Kenya said in a statement that Israeli President Shimon Peres and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised the East African nation help in securing its borders with Somalia.
A statement from the Odinga's office said Netanyahu promised to help build "a coalition against fundamentalism," bringing together the countries Kenya, Ethiopia, South Sudan and Tanzania. Kenya said that Peres said Israel was ready to make "everything available to Kenya" for internal security.
The Israeli government did not confirm any of statements made by Odinga's office. Israel said the meetings were a continuation of the deepening of Israel's relations with African countries.
Israeli security forces are among the best in the world in dealing with terror threats, making it logical for Kenya to seek security assistance. But al-Shabab could view Kenya's request as a provocation.

Attempting to manage jihadist terrorism by trying to predict and avoid "provocations" would result in paralysis. In practice, it would ultimately amount to surrender.

In 2002 militants bombed an Israeli-owned luxury hotel on Kenya's coast near the city of Mombasa, killing 13 people. The militants also tried to shoot down an Israeli airliner at the same time.

How ironic that it should be Israel to come to the Odinga defense, rather than the U.S.

Guess that communist turd is having second thoughts on signing this with the local Muslim mafia:

"The Evangelical Alliance of Kenya has posted on its website a photograph copy of a Memorandum of Understanding, dated and signed on August 29, 2007, between Raila Odinga and Shiekh Abdullah Abdi, chairman of the National Muslim Leaders Forum of Kenya.

It pledges the support of Kenyan Moslems for Raila's election. In return, as President of Kenya, Raila agrees to 14 actions, listed a) through n) on page two. Read them all, and be sure you're sitting down. Here's a sample:

b) Within 6 months re-write the Constitution of Kenya to recognize Shariah as the only true law sanctioned by the Holy Quran for Muslim declared regions.

c) With immediate effect dismiss the Commissioner of Police who has allowed himself to be used by heathens and Zionists to oppress the Kenyan Muslim community.

g) Within one year facilitate the establishment of a Shariah court in every Kenyan divisional headquarters. [Note: everywhere in Kenya, not just in "Muslim declared regions."]

Again, read all of them, for others are just as bad or worse"

Where's your Messiah, now?

So long as al-Shabab is attracting young Somali men away from the Twin Cities and back to their homeland, I'm all for 'em. Apparently they can't resist the urge to fight to liberate their homeland, the oldest Dar al-Islam country outside of Arabia.

Liberate from what, I dunno, but if the Moslem count is being depleted on this front, liberation sounds like a laudable goal.

Fewer cabs, but welfare costs drop, too. I'm willing to make that trade off.

From the article:

"Sheik Ali Mohamud Rage also warned Kenya..."

Sheik Mohamud RAGE?

Sheik Mohamud Rage took his place upon the stage
And threatened one and all - feeble and sage.
'Til one fateful day, to his great chagrin,
He found himself locked in a six by eight metal cage.

The office of Kenya's prime minister said Monday that Kenya received the backing of Israeli leaders to help Kenya fight what it called "fundamentalist elements."

Whether Israel agreed to help Kenya or not, it is not very smart of the Kenyans to make such a public statement. Apart from the fact that it make the task of helping Kenya defeatng Al-Shabab more difficult (assuming that indeed Israel agreed to help), it unnecessarily brings Israel and with it has the potential of the king the ME conflic to a new geographical area.

Such statement may (proably will) give impetus to a "mujahadeen" effect in terms of "volunteers" fighters from the Middle East (Hamas, Hesbollah, Islamic Jihad etc) coming to assist Al-Shabab in its "batlle against the Zionists" and possible reciprocation by the Al-Shabab in Gaza and in Lebanon.

When my gig with the hip hop troupe FEW Collective, over in Pakistan is up. I’m signing for this "destroying Muslim people and their religion”. That’s the way us “Drunks, Druggies, and Adulterers” roll. Really you can’t make this stuff up.

From the article - "Netanyahu promised to help build "a coalition against fundamentalism," bringing together the countries Kenya, Ethiopia, South Sudan and Tanzania. Kenya said that Peres said Israel was ready to make "everything available to Kenya" for internal security."

I like it, I like it, I like it a lot.

PRAY, everybody, pray that this works out.

But instead of 'fundamentalism', let's call what they're got to confront by its proper name - JIHAD, the merciless neverending Muslim war against everything not-Islam.

By all means let's see Christian-majority Ethiopia, majority-Christian South Sudan, majority-Christian Kenya and majority-Christian Tanzania taking lessons from Jewish Israel on how to defend themselves against Jihad.

Over at the 'Life in Israel' blog this same story was flagged.

'Israel to advise Kenya on thwarting terrorists'

"A government statement Monday said Prime Minister Odinga asked Israeli President Shimon Peres for assistance in building the capacity of the Kenyan police to deal with attacks by al-Shabab militants."

And one of the commenters at that blog, one 'Sir John', remarked:

"I still remember fondly the sessions we had in New York with Moshe and Merav from Shin Bet (probably they had very different real names). They were very knowledgeable and absolute fun to work with. I wouldn’t be surprised if they did as great a work now in Nairobi."

Like a corrupted politician who says one thing, but does another, the adherents of Islam see their push for a global jihad as an attack against Islam.

No kiddin'!

And I can sign up to go there where?

A statement from the Odinga's office said Netanyahu promised to help build "a coalition against fundamentalism," bringing together the countries Kenya, Ethiopia, South Sudan and Tanzania.
....................................

Of course, US President Barack Obama's Kenyan cousin Raila Odinga *himself* is a proponent of Shari'ah—but pretty much everybody looks "moderate" compared with the truly pious Jihadists of Somalia's Al-Shebaab.

Al-Shebaab is so crazed that they are willing to let their own people starve to death rather than allow aid from Kenya and Infidel charities reach them.

That's some truly committed practice of Islam there—no wonder the Kenyans look like a bunch of 'Zionist hypocrites' in comparison...
