Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Somalia: Islamic jihadists target UN convoy, murder four

Dec 3, 2014 8:14 am By Robert Spencer

Somali car bombAfter all the UN has done to demonize Israel and aid the global jihad, you’d think jihadis would show more gratitude. “Somalia car bomb targets UN convoy near airport,” BBC, December 3, 2014 (thanks to Twostellas):

At least four people have been killed in a car bomb blast next to a UN convoy in Somalia’s capital, police say.

The bomb exploded as the convoy travelled along the road near the airport in Mogadishu, police said.

A second blast targeted African Union (AU) troops about 25km (15 miles) from the city, but details are sketchy, a BBC reporter says.

Al-Shabab, linked to al-Qaeda, has often carried out attacks in Somalia and neighbouring Kenya.

On Tuesday, it killed 36 quarry workers near the northern Kenyan town of Mandera.

It has not commented on the latest explosions.
‘Smoke all around’

The United Nations and the British and Italian embassy compounds are based near Mogadishu’s heavily fortified airport.

“The explosion was very big and there is smoke all around the area. I can hardly see people lying on the ground, either dead or wounded,” witness Shamso Idle told AFP news agency.

Police said at least four people, including a Somali intelligence officer, were killed and about 10 others were wounded in the blast, reports the BBC’s Mohamed Moalimu from Mogadishu….

      when YOU,the UN, aligns itself with Satanic islam, don’t be surprised when it turns and attacks you too! The UN has been,is, and always will be; KUFFIR

    Leave these miserable people to their own fate. They deserve what they get if they don’t believe in living like human beings!! Why are we wasting our money and lives of non-Muslims in these Islamic hell holes!! all aid to all Muslims countries should be stopped until they start living like human beings and stop killing, raping, looting..

    The UN is a total joke. There will be no repercussions for this, just like killing an American ambassador. If Executive Outcomes was still in business the trouble in Nigeria and Somalia would soon be over. We should still give the African Union credit for their efforts.

      Just a wild guess —
      Maybe al-Shabab was tipped off that the UN convoy was transporting UN personnel that were actually trying to aid in the fight against al-Shabab by someone at the UN. Follow the prayer mat trail. A ‘ moderate’ in a knit cap is not that different from an AK47 carrying al-Shabab terrorist in a scarf mask.

    Jihadists love to murder, it is what their holy book the Koran calls them to do. They follow the satanic verses contained within and exist only to serve and delight their father, Satan.

    If you are confused because you don’t know wether islam is peaceful or not.
    Wether islamophobs are just discrediting islam and violent islam is just a missinterpretation.
    Wether muslims are saying the truth when they defend islam with their personal it is all just empty pseudomystic and wannabe-logical speak to protect islam.

    it is very simple to find out the truth:
    Just find out how Mohammed and his successors(the four califs) have lived.
    Find out wether they were massmurdrers or not,find iut wether they developed from good to bad or from bad to good.
    Than you only need to know about abrogation(which nullifies the peacefull verses) and about taquuiyA.

    As soon as you know the truth you will know that isis is much closer to islam than any other muslim group and that in islam the end always justify the means(as soon as islam takes somthing over by violence they instantly start to
    rewrite history and make it look peaceful)

    Good. This is their reward for demonising Israel and sanctioning a Palestinian state!

    My good friend and colleague Wame Duguvesi (Fijian national) who is the Security Chief of World Food Programme (WFP) was inside the vehicle that was attacked and destroyed. Thank God Wame is safe and sound. Wame and I worked together in Kabul, Afghanistan in 2010.

    The UN may be a joke but WFP (which is part of the UN) has been doing a pretty good job feeding the hungry. An attack on a WFP vehicle is horrible because WFP strictly adheres to humanitarian works

    One must remember, Muslims have been inbreeding for centuries – marry first cousins is promoted under Islamic law and sanctioned by the Quran so you are dealing with mentally challenged/handicapped folks. Kind of explains their insanity – sadly there is no solution except their removal – as a cancer must be removed from a human body.

      I wondered why we never see handicapped children in muslim countries.. I checked online–here is what I found.. because of inbreeding–there are many monstrous deformities in the newborns in muzzieland.. the fate of these poor little deformed babies is to be put on the rooftop of the hovels the parents reside in. the sun, wind and neglect take care of the poor little bit of humanity. how cruel. Islam’s dirty little secret.

    These people are so violent and barbaric. It will take Jesus Christ to stop them,l know one day He will bring peace I only pray that it will be quickly as opposed to a long wait. These people even kill their own, they love death and vile living. They say they hate gays yet they indulge in it themselves oh, yes the imam said they can who cares who that is wrong. They don’t think they have to abide by any laws at all, but they will abide by God’s law or pay the price since they don’t believe that Christ has already paid that price.
