Islamic supremacist spokesmen constantly insist that any connection between Islam and terrorism is incidental — there are terrorists who happen to be Muslim, but not killers who are moved to kill by Islamic texts and teachings. This is contradicted by the statements of virtually every Islamic jihadist who has ever issued a statement, and here the contradiction is graphically illustrated.
“Kenya shopping mall attack: Chilling new footage from inside Westgate shows terrorists casually gunning down innocent shoppers,” by John Hall for the Independent, October 17 (thanks to Benedict):
Warning: Video contains images that some may find disturbing.
Chilling new CCTV footage has emerged of terrorists casually gunning down shoppers during the attack on Kenya’s Westgate shopping centre last month.
In a video obtained by CNN, one man can be seen hiding behind a supermarket kiosk as the gunmen storm the mall.
As shoppers run for their lives, a terrorist casually approaches the cowering man and fires a bullet into his body from close-range.
In the next clip the man is seen writhing in agony, before a third scene captures him lying in a pool of his own blood as the gunman returns and fires more shots at him. It is believed the man died as a result of his injuries.
Elsewhere in the CCTV footage, a British family – including a four-year-old boy who famously told one of the terrorists he was “a very bad man” – can be seen being told to leave the supermarket by one of the gunmen.

As the mother – who had already been shot in the thigh by a terrorist – leads her children from the store using a shopping trolley to carry one of her injured offspring, she is seen being followed by a terrified, blood-soaked teenage girl, and finally by one of the gunmen.
The footage also shows terrorists calmly chatting on their mobile phones while scouting the mall for new victims. The al-Qa”ida linked, Somalia-based terror group al-Shabaab insists it kept in contact with the men throughout the attack.
During rare quiet periods during the subsequent four-day siege, the Western-dressed Islamist terrorists are seen taking turns to kneel down and pray as their assault-rifle wielding colleagues stand guard.
