Islamic jihadists have made Somalia a chaos of anarchy. If they secured power, of course, there would be peace — the peace of the Sharia that mandates denial of rights to women, non-Muslims, gays, and others, and makes the entire population live in fear of its draconian punishments. But to speak out against all that and stand up for the equality of rights of all people before the law would be “Islamophobic.” “Bomb Planted in Gov’t Vehicle Kills 5 in Somalia,” by Abdi Guled, Associated Press, May 3, 2014:
Five people died and six others were wounded when a bomb exploded in Mogadishu, Somalia’s capital, an official said Saturday.
A top police officer, who was the apparent target of the attack, was among the five killed, said Capt. Mohamed Hussein, a senior police official.
Somalia’s Islamic extremist rebels, al-Shabab, claimed responsibility for the attack which killed police officer Abdikafi Hilowle.
The Al-Qaida-linked al-Shabab militants are waging an insurgency against Somalia’s weak, U.N.-backed government.
Al-Shabab has resorted to terror attacks in Somalia’s capital, Mogadishu, since African Union troops backing the Somali government pushed the militants from the city in 2011. Somalia is struggling to rebuild after decades of conflict following the ouster of the dictator Siad Barre in 1991.
Saturday’s blast came hours after Somali police foiled an attempt on the life of a Somali legislator when suspected militants planted a bomb in his car. Security forces removed the bomb and detonated it after they were tipped off, according to Hussein.
Two Somali legislators were killed late April in gun and explosive attacks which were claimed by al-Shabab.
The targeting of members of parliament appears to be a new strategy for al-Shabab. The parliament is emerging as a pillar of democracy in the Horn of Africa nation….
Yes, it’s a veritable hotbed of Jeffersonians.

Nigeria — I recently complained about Huff Post’s burying the story about the kidnapped girls behind double links and then making it a story focused mainly on the governments unsuccessful efforts to rescue them.
I just saw a main front page cover on Huff Post with the title:
I ABDUCTED YOUR GIRLS. I WILL SELL THEM IN THE MARKET, BY ALLAH
The caption even links to a decent story.
Congratulations to Huff Post for doing the right thing FINALLY.
There is no telling how long they will keep it but with social media campaigns running at full speed on this it would be a shame if they capitulated to PC pressure.
Huff Post doing the right thing, who ever would have thought.

Social Media will do far more than our politicians who are only now taking notice so they can (I suspect) belatedly steal the credit (Kerry / Hillary)
ibn Muslim says
What is sick is that JW renames “killing” into “murder” in almost every article! These two terms are not the same!!!
Angemon says
Kill – the act of causing death.
Murder – unlawful, intended killing.
Nope, sounds a good use of “murder”.
ibn Muslim says
Sure, but fighting for the cause of Allah is not unlawful…
In heaven you will get a reward, not be punished in hell 😉

Biography of the Prophet, Ibn Ishaq p.675
Abu ‘Afak was one of B. ‘Amr b. ‘Auf of the B. ‘Ubayda clan. He showed his disaffection when the apostle killed al-Harith b. Suwayd b. Samit.. The apostle said: ‘Who will deal with this rascal for me?’ whereupon Salim b. ‘Umayr, brother of B. ‘Amr b. ‘Auf one of the ‘weepers’, went forth and killed him.
Is it “killing” or “murder” or…ASSASSINATION???
