Kenya: Islamic jihadists murder 29 in two jihad shootings

“At Least 29 Killed In Two Deadly Kenya Shootings,” by Aaron Akinyemi, International Business Times, July 6, 2014 (thanks to Twostellas):

At least 29 people have been killed in two shootings in the Kenyan coastal district of Lamu.

Witnesses said about a dozen men opened fire in the trading centre in Hindi, Lamu County late on Saturday evening, killing nine people including a police officer.

‘They went around shooting at people and villages indiscriminately,’ area chief Abdallah Shahasi told Reuters.

A further 20 people were killed in a separate attack in the Gamba region of Tana River County. The Somalian al-Qaida-linked group al-Shabaab have reportedly claimed responsibility for the attacks.

County commissioner Miiri Njenga said some government offices and properties were also burned down. The Kenya National Disaster Operation Centre said on Twitter that it is responding to the attacks.

Last month, at least 60 people were killed in Lamu after gunmen launched attacks on hotels and a police station.

Witnesses told the Daily Telegraph that the alleged al-Shabaab operation was spearheaded by a white man who speaks ‘fluent British English’.

Mpeketoni resident Mary Gachoki said: ‘I saw a white man who was speaking in fluent British English commanding the rest of the attackers.’

Another witness, who spoke on condition of anonymity, added: ‘There was a white man among them. He was commanding them and was shouting now and then.

‘I saw him ordering them to carry out the attacks. He could be heard speaking frequently and at one point, he spoke in Arabic, but most of the time in English.’

Five people died in a later attack by an armed gang in the village of Witu, located about 15km (nine miles) from Mpeketoni. Authorities said they arrested 13 alleged separatists accused of planning further coordinated attacks on the coast.

Last September, militants besieged the upscale Westgate shopping mall in Kenya’s capital Nairobi, killing at least 67 people and wounding 175.

A series of gun and grenade attacks in Nairobi and along Kenya’s coast have destabilised the country since Kenyan troops went into Somalia in October 2011 to fight al-Shabaab.

      Good morning Muslim world.
      No offense but,
      Muslims, I ask you now to look into the core of Islam

      No, I don’t mean to glance at a clever poetic verse of the Qur’an
      Piety displays will not long impress when your soul is full of emptiness.
      When you are all alone this Ramadan look into the eyes of Islam if you dare.
      Can you feel it?
      Look again, right into the core.
      Yes,
      You feel it now don’t you?
      There is nothing there.
      Feel the emptiness of Islam.
      Feel the shackle and chain.
      There is no real joy in Islam.
      Look into the eyes of Islam if you dare.
      Don’t resent others happiness.
      Reveal Islam and Break free
      Defeat this disease
      Find true joy and peace

        those who think looking into the core of islam deeply will reveal emptyness have themselves not taken the initiative of doing the same.i suggest you stop relying on the media to feed you with unreliable info about islam and take a deep study(from RELIABLE SOURCE)of what islam is all about.You’ll be suprised.thats a promise. 🙂

          Most of us here are all too well versed in the horrors of Islam. And yes—it is empty *at best*—thuddingly legalistic and picayune—and bloodily nihilistic at worst.

          Are you claiming that the horrific flood of stories of Jihad savagery are *all false*?

          There have been over 23,000 cases of Jihad terror *just since 9/11*—including the appalling story above.

          But the fact is that your vicious coreligionists *crow* over their barbarism—the idea that this is all made up by “Islamophobic” Infidels is ludicrous.

          I stood at the edge of the smoking hole that was once the World Trade Center, and saw what Islam was all about.

          More:

          and take a deep study(from RELIABLE SOURCE)of what islam is all about.
          ………………………………….

          Do you mean the Qur’an, the Hadith, and the Sira? Again, most of us here are quite familiar with these sources. In addition, many of us are quite widely read in the commentary by Islamic scholars, both historical and contemporary.

          Ugly, ugly stuff.

          More:

          Well, this is true. I already suspected that Islamic texts had *some* violent passages, because I had heard Jihad terrorists quote them.

          But when I first read the Qur’an—then the Sahih Hadith collections by Bukhari and Muslims, I was *horrified*.

          I never expected the sickening amount of savagery—the extolling of pedophilia, of piracy and theft and caravan raiding, of stoning of women and slaughter of Infidels.

          It *was not* pleasant reading—but it certainly explained a great deal about the barbaric behavior of pious Muslims—including Al Shebaab in the appalling story above.

    The once thought almost defeated, al Shabab Is now growing Extremely fast, as is the pile of dead bodies who they pass.Bodies that are mostly Christian. Reinvigorated by the success of Boko Haram al Shabab will be a deadly force with no plans in place to stop them.

    This is yet another example of the murderous violence carried out by the Muslims who are engaging in the jihad for Islam. As the Quran teaches Sura 9:111. 47;4. This is vicious, cruel and deadly indeed. All this very much brings to mind the wisdom of the words of Thomas Paine from his book THE AGE OF REASON, Which reads “Any system of religion that has anything in it that shocks the mind, of a child, cannot be a true system.”
