Somalia: Islamic jihadists murder fifth lawmaker this year — “he was killed on the orders of Allah”

Aug 2, 2014 9:30 am By Robert Spencer

AdenMaderAllah has also apparently commanded the murder of all the other MP’s in Somalia as well. Al-Shabab wants to establish Sharia there; these men, on the other hand, are governing by what they consider to be a form of government that is directly incompatible with the Qur’an and Sunnah. So they must die.

“Somali Islamists shoot dead fifth lawmaker this year,” Agence France Presse, August 2, 2014 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

MOGADISHU: Somalia’s Al-Shabab insurgents said they had assassinated a lawmaker in Mogadishu as he left prayers at a mosque Friday, the fifth MP killed this year in a string of attacks.

“This was a legitimate target, and he was killed on the orders of Allah,” Al-Shabab spokesman Abdiaziz Abu Musab told AFP, adding that the Al-Qaeda-linked insurgents were “preparing to kill all the other MPs.”

Gunmen opened fire from a car in a drive-by shooting in the center of the city before racing off, witnesses said. “Sheikh Adan Madeer was shot and killed in central Mogadishu by gunmen, the gunmen then fled,” witness Abdisalan Mohammad said.

Madeer was chairman of the parliamentary finance committee. “He returned from a mosque near his house … when two gunmen shot him dead. Now we are preparing his burial,” relative Nur Mohammad said.

Al-Shabab fighters fled fixed positions in Mogadishu three years ago and have since lost most large towns to a 22,000-strong U.N.-backed African Union force, fighting alongside government soldiers. But they still hold sway in vast swathes of the rural hinterland from which they regularly launch guerrilla raids.

Recent Al-Shabab attacks in Somalia have targeted key areas of government and security forces in an apparent bid to discredit claims by the authorities and AU troops that they are winning the war. Last month Al-Shabab launched an assault on the presidential palace using similar tactics deployed in an attack on the same fortified compound in February.

In May, the Islamist insurgents also launched a similar attack against the national parliament. Al-Shabab spokesman Musab said the extremists were targeting MPs as they had “authorized the deployment of foreign troops in Somalia and were a pillar of the apostate government.”

Al-Shabab have also increased attacks against regional countries with troops in the AU force, with a series of killings in neighboring Kenya, following last September’s attack on Nairobi’s Westgate mall in which at least 67 people were killed….

    “This was a legitimate target, and he was killed on the orders of Allah,” Al-Shabab spokesman Abdiaziz Abu Musab told AFP

    Oh boy, Abu doesn’t realize the can of worms he opened. If the lawmaker was killed on the orders of allah that means allah spoke to someone somewhere and told him to kill this particular lawmaker. And if allah is talking to someone nowadays then muhammad is not the seal of the prophets. In other words, Abu is a heretic muslim.

      I agree
      It seems that in Islam the truth is whatever a Muslim wishes it to be at the moment.
      These Al-Shabab fighters either have a hot-line to Allah or they are prophets themselves or they are typical hypocritical rationalizing Muslims committing (while at the same time smugly flaunting) one of Islam’s supposed biggest sins.
      ‘Partnering with Allah’.

    ” the gunmen then fled”.
    Whatever for ???? These Muslims are always ranting on about how much they love death, so why didn´t they stay behind and collect their one way ticket to Allah´s whorehouse in the sky and their 72 virgins and little boys as sweet as pearls.????

    Maybe Allah ordered him shot, but if justice can be done, then the killers will be hung by Judge Bean.

        Allah might enjoy that after all he seems to like pain and punishment

    Allah is a weenie if he can’t take out one measly human being himself, but has to rely on his personal thugs -like the jihadis above!

    This ‘Allah’ character has to be stopped.

    Does anyone know what Allah looks like?
    I am trying to draw up some Allah cartoons and also a few wanted posters.

      Here’s an accurate reconstruction of what took place on 7th century arabia. Hope it helps.

    Ethiopian army can defeat al-shabab and annihilated them. The terrorist group biggest fear is facing Ethiopian army.

    What’s funny is that Abu is actually “legally” correct, according to sharia tenets!
    Under the sharra, any muslim who disagrees with a ruler, may legally wage war upon him and kill him (it’s all might-makes-right)!

    Same goes for judicial decisions: it’s perfectly halal behaviour to kill a judge whose decision one disagrees with!
