Kenya: Jihadists kidnap traders, release Muslims, behead Christian

Aug 24, 2014 12:32 pm By Robert Spencer

Somali men parade as members of al Shabaab in the capital Mogadishu“When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (Qur’an 47:4)

“Suspected Shebab Islamists militants behead Kenyan driver,” Press Trust of India, August 23, 2014 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

A group of suspected Shebab Islamist militants have beheaded a Kenyan driver after kidnapping a group of traders on Kenyan soil near the resort island of Lamu, police said on Saturday.

The militants kidnapped the traders on Wednesday and took them to the dense Boni forest area in Lamu county. The militants released three of them who were Muslims and beheaded a Christian.

Local police said the body of the victim was found in the forest yesterday. According to police, the survivors said the attackers were well armed and had identified themselves as Shebab members on a mission to fight security forces inside Kenya.

Somalia’s Shebab rebels have vowed to step up attacks on Kenyan soil in retaliation for Kenya’s military presence in Somalia as part of the African Union force supporting the country’s fragile government.

Lamu, a UNESCO World Heritage site, has been hit by several attacks since mid-June which have left scores dead.

The attacks have fuelled divisions on the coast, a region where radical Islam, ethnic tensions and land disputes are an explosive cocktail.

    Many Somalis came to Kenya as refugees.
    Sound familiar?

      I concur that the somali refugees are Muslim jihadis taking vengeance on Kenyan Christians for daring to fight against them. Is that so?

        They come to Kenya from Somalia seeking a handout.
        Because they are Muslim they feel entitled to it.
        Kenya already has too many Muslims.

    There can be little doubt Islam is cfeeding off the deference we give to it here in the West. Had we not been feeding it out of political correctness for more than 40 years, we would have fewer problems today. That cult isn’t worthy of respect. Only contempt. Why should we respect those who behead and intimidate followers of other faiths? Why should we respect that which seeks to suppress us and take away the freedoms we have long grown accustomed to, and defended with our lives where necessary? Because the PC brigade spawned here in the West say so. And the PC brigade is what gets exploited by our enemies, much to our cost.

      Defeating Islam is a piece of cake were it not for this PC brigade.
      The real war must start here, in our own backyard.

      Not entirely, Spirit of 1683 and Salah.

      “Political correctness” no doubt makes opposing—or even recognizing—the Jihad threat *much* more difficult.

      But Kenya is not particularly PC, and this hasn’t prevented them from suffering the massive, bloody Jihad that we see here.

    As for the jihadist kidnappers those militant Muslims may very well be either too ignorant to know or know and are too wicked too care the the God of the Bible hates the act of kidnapping so much that He warrant the death penalty for those who engage in the heinous practice of kidnapping For the Bible reads” Whoever steals someone…must be killed.” Exodus 21:16. [E.R.V.] Furthermore, as for the jihad minded Muslims who beheaded that Christian, they most likely even enjoyed murdering him. This is be ,somewhat, explained in the Bible book of Proverbs. For Proverbs 29:10 teaches “Bloodthristy men hate a man of integrity and seek to kill the upright.” [N.I.V.}

    Kenya: Jihadists kidnap traders, release Muslims, behead Christian
    ………………………………….

    We’ve seen this before—all of it.

    Boko Haram released all the Muslims after its kidnapping of schoolgirls, and kept the Christian girls to rape, sell as sex slaves, and use as unwilling suicide bombers.

    And beheading innocent people has gone from a hideous but thankfully fairly uncommon Muslim atrocity ten years ago to an orgy of ‘striking at necks’ now.

    In the Islamic State this is so bad that ISIS is lining the streets of Mosul with severed heads, and is regularly uploading videos of Jihadists—some *children*—holding up severed heads on YouTube.

    And what did Kenya do to deserve this? Why, they let in Somali “refugees”—and they fought back at least to some extent against the inevitable swell of Jihad attacks that followed in its wake.

    But as we all know, the cause of Jihad is daring to defend against Jihad…sarc/off
