Somalia: Islamic jihadists attack hotel, murder three people

Jun 26, 2014 9:57 am By Robert Spencer

SomaliaAmalowHotelIslamic jihadists are more assertive and aggressive than ever, all over the globe. It’s a good thing that this has “nothing to do with Islam.” Imagine how much worse it would be if it did.

“3 dead in Somalia after militants attack hotel,” Associated Press, June 26, 2014:

MOGADISHU, Somalia — A suicide bomber and gunmen killed three people, including two soldiers, on Thursday when they attacked a hotel housing African Union and Somali forces, officials said.

The attack began when a suicide bomber blew himself up near the Amalow Hotel in Bulo-Burte town before gunmen tried to force their way in, said Col. Ahmed Ali.

Gunfire could be heard as Ali spoke by telephone. Two AU soldiers were among those killed, said Col. Ali Aden, a spokesman for the African Union force.

The Islamic militant group al-Shabab claimed responsibility through an announcement on its radio station.

It’s the second such attack against the hotel. A suicide car bomber and gunmen attacked the hotel in March, killing at least five people. Al-Shabab also claimed responsibility for that attack.

African Union and Somali troops seized Bulo-Burte town in early March from the extremists. Al-Shabab has since stepped up attacks against the troops in the town.

AU forces pushed al-Shabab out of Mogadishu in 2011. The government troops in the last six months have been waging battles outside the capital in smaller towns still held by al-Shabab.

    It seems unlikely that many Muslims read JW other than politically motivated Muslim infiltrators at NSA who already know Islam is a laughable hoax and a few straggler Defenders of Islam.
    Pious Muslims especially in Somalia and nearby Kenya are unlikely to read JW but just in case, here is a link they can watch if they are not too afraid of Christian faith.

    The Islamic call to prayer is a call to hate.

    A call to fear with a song of hate

    We in the West can only imagine what it must be like to live in a country where every single morning one wakes up with the hideous ‘CHOKING THE ROOSTER’ sound and the seeping awareness that each and every neighbor and even one’s own family members thrill with orgasmic delight at the opportunity to rat out anyone for apostasy against Islam.

    It’s just a matter of time until they hit us here. There are too many “leaders” who refuse to get it, who got their jobs because of stupid notions of “diversity” and “inclusiveness” and not because of their proficiency at any of the skills necessary to defeating this enemy.

    Because it will indeed happen here eventually, some of us may choose something other than capitulation. My latest below:
