Kenya: Muslims murder 28 non-Muslims who couldn’t recite Qur’an verses

Nov 22, 2014 9:42 am By Robert Spencer

Somali men parade as members of al Shabaab in the capital MogadishuMeanwhile, Barack Obama and John Kerry and David Cameron and the rest assure us that this kind of thing has nothing to do with Islam. We are ruled by fantasists and liars.

“‘One by One They Were Shot in the Head’: Islamist Hijackers Use a Simple Test to Find — and Kill — Non-Muslims,” by Zach Noble, The Blaze, November 22, 2014:

NAIROBI, Kenya (TheBlaze/AP) — Suspected Islamic extremists from Somalia hijacked a bus in Kenya’s north and killed 28 non-Muslims on board after they had been singled out from the rest of the passengers, police officials said Saturday.

One passenger said the hijackers used a disturbing, simple test to identify who they would kill: knowledge of the Koran.

The bus traveling to the capital Nairobi with 60 passengers was hijacked at dawn Saturday about 50 kilometers (31 miles) from the town Mandera near Kenya’s border with Somalia, said two police officers….

Some of the dead were public servants who were heading to Nairobi for the Christmas vacation, the officers said. About 20 gunmen ordered all the passengers out of the bus and separated those who appeared to be non-Muslims from the rest and shot them at close range, the officers said….

The attack is suspected to have been carried out by al-Shabab, the Islamic militant rebels in Somalia.

“When we got down, passengers were separated [by armed hijackers] according to Somali and non-Somalis,” a passenger, Ahmed Mahat, told the BBC.

“The non-Somalis were ordered to read some verses of the holy Koran, and those who failed to read were ordered to lie down,” Mahat said. “One by one they were shot in the head at point blank range.”

    now we have mandatory Koran reading jihad

    [most of those perps likely can’t read the Koran either, even is if it is the word of the malevolent and belligerent Allah god of Islam (unknowable; the best of all deceivers)]

      You’re right; those murderous righteous believers are semi-literate at best.

      Reading and reciting are different things–education in a madrassa as I understand it is a matter of rote memorization of verses; not literacy. By way of analogy, I speak and read English, but I can’t read (more to the point, understand) Beowulf in its archaic Anglo-Saxon original form.

    Those who could not read verses from the Quran were shot. In what language were these verses written? Arabic, English or what? Are all Muslims expected to be able to read the Quran in its original Arabic?

    • Michael Copeland says

      Nov 22, 2014 at 1:25 pm

      All muslims are expected to read and, more to the point, recite Koranic verses in their original archaic Arabic.
      They are not expected to understand what the verses mean, merely to recite them.
      They are strongly discouraged (by being beaten with a stick) from asking questions, something the Koran itself warns against.
      They are strongly discouraged from having access to a translation, as it is less worthy.
      As a result most muslims do not know what the Koran contains, and are entirely dependent on their imam (no Theological College training required) to tell them what it says.
      Robert Spencer relates meeting a prize-winning Koran-memorizer (this is considered greatly admirable, and competitions are held) who told him that one day he would be interested to find out what it meant.
      Many of the testimonies that can be read on ex-muslim sites include shock at first finding out.

    If you don”t want that this happens to you,simple learn the one and only valid quran .
    Sura 6/66
    “I am Mohammed-the poo of allah,destroyer of cultures and countries,paragon of pdeophiles-a childraper,massmurdere,a sociopath,an enslaver,fire walks with me-whereever my religion &/or I appear death and poverty will follow soon.”

    “Allah is small
    just one inch tall
    that”s all”

    that”s why muslims alsways say “inch Allah”

    • jihad3tracker says

      Nov 22, 2014 at 10:25 am

      Thanks for that great advice, Zebo ! ! ! I am having Sura 6/66 tattooed backwards on my forehead.

      Then, if captured by the Bad Guys, I just whip out a handy pocket mirror and get started reciting.

      By the way — do you also help blind people cross safely at intersections ?

      • Zebo says

        Nov 22, 2014 at 3:49 pm

        Than you’ll be killed instantly.They wouldn’t even ask you to recite.
        Not because of the sura(which might be not 100% accurate)as 90% of muslims can’t read,and for sure not backwards,
        BUT they know that muslims don’t have tattoos,
        Therefore i’d advise you to tattoo the Sura on your foreskin(than at least you can pretend that your foreskin has regrown with a text on it if they grope you)

      Lol ..good one 🙂

      If these bastards would not be as they are they would be soo riduculous in everything .

      I still don’t get why they seem unstoppable – It seems nobody WANTS to stop them 🙁

        Like Hitler said:The bigger the lie ,the more people will believe it-and islam is the biggest of all.

        Islam is protected by Its the extreme evil charackter because the human mind repells that something like this could even exist.
        Most human(muslims,christians,jews,bhuddists) are not willing to even consider that such an antihuman ideology could exist within a very small group let alone dominate 1.6 billion peoples life.
        + islam is protected by its stereotype-nature.

        If i’d write a fictional book(using my bad english:) about a pedophile massmurdering prophet and an inherently evil and primitive religion intellectuals would mock the book,because they would say ,there is 100% improbable that something full of cliches exists.

        Common people cannot acceppt the enourmous scale of evil

        intellectual people cannot acceppt the stereotypes and primitivity within islam to be true

        Modern people were conditioned that stereotypes don’t exist and can’t exist,they think it “s all just prejudice .

        That’s why people don’t wake up

        • terry says

          Nov 22, 2014 at 3:42 pm

          That’s absolutely true; Islam is the biggest lie that ever existed and forever will stay as such!

      Zebo,
      Thanks for your “…Mohammed-the poo of Allah…” Whether you meant to or not, it caused an LOL.
      I am new here and a laugh amidst all this horror is a relief.

    How times have changed.

    In the 70’s, American aircraft carriers made numerous port calls at Mombasa.

    Many sailors and marines enjoyed the easy going atmosphere and the safaris during their in port liberty.

    Wouldn’t go there on a bet, now.

    Knowing a muslim prayer was the only thing that saved the life of a couple that pretended to be Muslim during the Mumbai attacks. The people they were with that didn’t ‘pass’ were shot right in front of them. I’ve memorized a few verses just in case.

      Hello Jay,

      That’s the ticket…but you need to do more.
      Soon you will be rocking and a’rolling and a swaying.

      It is like a drug, you cannot stop…you must not stop…Allah SWT will dominate the mind….it’s amazing.

      Also please ensure you are circumcised (my husband is)…just in case they don’t like your pronunciation..and decided to ehhh do “further checks”.

      Enjoy

      More Later…

      • Jay Boo says

        Nov 22, 2014 at 1:48 pm

        No wonder the Sunnis despise you Rezali.
        Their women at least have more modesty than to graphically describe the husband’s privates.
        So uncouth

        The sickening Rezali Mehil is referring to what beaten children do in Madrassas—rock back and forth while chanting in a robotic monotone as though they were severely autistic. It is profoundly disturbing to watch.

        ……………………………….

        Notice that the appalling Rezali Mehil has absolutely *no* problem with her foul coreligionists slaughtering people if they cannot pass their arbitrary “tests”. Instead, she urges us to comply—with the bizarre hope, of course, that out of Stockholm Syndrome we will eventually “revert” to that vicious creed. And she believes that we will “enjoy” it.

        The odd thing is this: while Rezali Mehil could probably pass the Qur’an test, she *could not* as a Shi’ite pass a similar test from Al Shebaab if it involved the Hadith—the Shia do not believe in the orthodox Hadith, and have a much smaller, later, and less significant batch of their own entirely separate Hadiths.

        These devout Sunnis in most cases would be just as happy to butcher her and her fellow Shia as they would us “filthy Kuffar”.

      A much better plan is to go on the offensive and relentlessly hunt Muslims down with the truth.
      Koran following Muslims are like fungus.
      They can’t stand the light shining on their filthy vile ideology.

      Buy some bleach spray disinfectant.

    No conspiracy theories, the problem with President Bush, President Obama and many Americans is the belief that once liberated from their oppressive governments and dictators, the majority of Muslims would choose democracy and put religious differences aside.

    The US Never got the message as we quietly hear in Libya. And see in Iraq, and still pursuing this dream in Syria

    Sam Harris said it best in The End of Faith, and it is very true, something like, “Given the chance for Muslims to vote on their rights democratically, and Muslims will vote to tear out democracy by its roots.”

    This is the same MO (modus operandi) as the Westgate Mall: genocide.

    • gravenimage says

      Nov 22, 2014 at 9:55 pm

      Yes, Mortimer—this is exactly the same thing that Muslim attackers did at the Westgate Mall massacre.

      And since Muslims have already begun setting up roadblocks in the West—this has happened in Sweden—how long will it be before we see just the same in the West?

  9. mortimer says

    Nov 22, 2014 at 12:02 pm

    Next phase will be shooting for a lot of other matters: eating during Ramadan, not wearing a full hijab, not having a beard, wearing silk or gold jewelry, etc.

    NOTHING TO DO WITH ISLAM
    One by one they were shot in the head,
    But it’s nothing to do with Islam.
    They could not recite a Koranic verse,
    But it’s nothing to do with Islam.
    Their killers proclaimed their Islamic cause,
    But it’s nothing to do with Islam.

    Two of the men in center of this this sample photo are wearing Islamic man dresses.
    If a man gets on the bus wearing a man dress I plan to get off at the next stop or ‘un-lock and load up with a full clip’

    the current wave of violence against Christians in Kenya is alarming. Christians living in Muslim perceived region have been massacred and there is nothing which the Muslim leadership in the country has done to to show their followers they are doing wrong. it is just a matter of time when Christians will become intolerant for this kind of acts and Muslims who are minority in the country will be the ones to blame for their own misfortune.
