Kenya: Enraged Muslims in violent battles with police over raid on mosque that supports jihad terror group

Feb 3, 2014 8:31 am By Robert Spencer

A Muslim man is detained by police officers at the Masjid Mussa Mosqiue in Kenya's coastal town of MombasaSurely the Vast Majority of Peaceful Muslims who abhor and detest al Shabaab for twisting and hijacking their peaceful religion will rein in these angry “youth,” won’t they?

“Clashes in Kenya port for second day over mosque raid – witness,” from Reuters, February 3 (thanks to Lookmann):

(Reuters) – Muslim youths angry about a police raid on a mosque used by firebrand preachers in the Kenyan port city of Mombasa clashed with police for a second day on Monday, a Reuters witness said.

Smashing Islamist recruitment networks among its Muslim minority has become a priority for Kenya, a country still reeling from a September raid by Somali militants on a luxury shopping mall in Nairobi. At least 67 people were killed.

Police fired tear gas and rubber bullets at the protesters who were hurling rocks and shouting “release our brothers” in reference to more than 100 people the police arrested after violent clashes in the same area on Sunday.

Kenyan police stormed the Masjid Mussa mosque in the city’s run-down Majengo neighbourhood on Sunday after a tip that Muslim youths were being radicalised by Islamists who support al Shabaab, a Somalia militant group allied with al Qaeda.

The mosque has been at the heart of al Shabaab’s attempts to radicalise disillusioned young Kenyan Muslims over the past couple of years, security sources say.

Two protesters were killed during the clashes on Sunday, two medical sources at a local hospital told Reuters. A policeman was also critically wounded, a police source said.

Aboud Rogo, one of the mosque’s most well-known preachers who was killed in 2012, had been accused by United Nations investigators of sourcing funds and recruits for al Shabaab while Kenyan authorities charged him with terrorism-related offences. The United States had also frozen Rogo’s assets.

    Mosques and Madrassas are nothing less than hate schools, preaching and teaching Jihad.
    In Western Countries, the hate and Jihad that is being preached in these Muslim cesspits, is against the very people that have taken these Muslims in and given them a home and chance of a new life.
    Take Muslims into your country and they immediately set about trying to turn it into an exact copy of the Muslim shit hole they ran away from.

    Robert,

    Years ago, when little barry hussein was born in Kenya, learning all the muslim horseshit he has spouted …

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKqFBpk_1Eo

    … not learning … enough about the United States to know that 57 is an old Heinz number he read from a bottle when he used to put ketchup on his hamburger, (I think Heinz isn’t using the 57 number anymore; maybe the dems requested this so at least obama won’t make that stupid goof again) not the number of states in the Union …

    … not learning how to throw a baseball …

    … btw, he is shit on the basketball court too …

    You start to wonder … is this asshole good at anything besides being elected, and throwing Israel under the bus?

    Those making vacation plans … may I recommend Hawaii over Kenya?

    The Religion of Peace (Reg.TM) has pictures of automatic ASSAULT RIFLES over the main entrance? How’s this? Misunderstanders of Islam, to be sure! They need world-renowned Islam scholar David Cameron to TELL THEM OFF VERY STERNLY!

    OK- First, bulldoze the bloody mosque, with army protection. Warn, then if rioting continues, shoot at will. Let these savages know you mean business, Kenya.

    Kenya: Enraged Muslims in violent battles with police over raid on mosque that supports jihad terror group
    …………………………..

    But…but…don’t these Muslims understand that Jihad terror has nothing to do with Islam? Must be a “tiny minority of extremists”…sarc/off

    And this was the Mosque that was holding a summit on waging violent Jihad. I’m glad the Kenyan authorities are taking this seriously—I’m not sure that many in the West would.

      No, graven, I’m afraid they would not. Hope you and yours are well…

        Except for the madness of Jihad and getting over a bad case of the flu, I’m good, EYESOPEN. Hope you are, as well.
