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

Mali: “With the help of the hand of Allah,” Muslims kill Red Cross aid worker

mujao-jihadists-claim-deadly-red-cross-attack-in-northern-mali-1427823749“With the help of the hand of Allah, we killed near Gao, in Muslim territory, a driver who worked for the enemy,” said a spokesman for The Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa (MUJAO). “Oneness” is tauhid, Islamic monotheism. Not that this has anything to do with Islam.

“Al Qaeda Splinter Group Claims Deadly Attack on Red Cross Aid Workers in Mali,” by Matthieu Jublin, Vice News, March 31, 2015 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

An al Qaeda offshoot in North Africa has claimed responsibility for an attack Monday in northern Mali on an International Red Cross vehicle that killed one aid worker and left one injured.

The Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa (MUJAO), a splinter group of al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), said its fighters were behind deadly attack.

The gunmen opened fire on the truck around 11am Monday as it traveled from the northern city of Gao to Niamey, the capital of neighboring Niger, to pick up equipment for a medical facility in Gao. Malian Red Cross spokesman Valery Mbaoh Nana told VICE News the vehicle was “clearly marked with the Red Cross emblem.”…

“With the help of the hand of Allah, we killed near Gao, in Muslim territory, a driver who worked for the enemy,” MUJAO spokesman Abou Walid Sahraoui told AFP, adding that the group had “achieved what we wanted with this attack.”

MUJAO formed in 2011 and took control of Gao, northern Mali’s largest city, the following year. The militants also occupied and shared control of several surrounding towns with other insurgent groups.

In January 2013, an unprecedented attack by Islamist forces on the south of the country triggered Operation Serval, a French military intervention that halted the jihadist advance and helped the Malian government regain control of Gao….

    Are there no depths to which these wretched people will not sink?

    They view kindness as weakness, they don’t respect goodness.
    They only understand “might makes right”. Failing that, just let
    the nasty vindictive cancer cells eat one another and stay well away.
    A wild animal may or may not kill you, but these infinitely less
    than animalistic “people” will do so given half a chance. That’s
    one certainty in this world.

    “Malian Red Cross spokesman Valery Mbaoh Nana told VICE News the vehicle was ‘clearly marked with the Red Cross emblem.'”

    I wonder if the sick rat bastards would have attacked the vehicle if it had a red crescent on it. That would, no doubt, be an indicator of whether they’re radical or moderate moozies…

    In the past, enemies of Allah have used medical and aid workers to undermine the work of believers, think bin Ladin. So such aid workers can be seen to them as legitimate targets. Maybe the Red Cross shoukd stay away or assume there will be losses.

    I’m sure they tell the aid workers, “the Muslims here are pious and would never kill innocents”, without telling them they are not innocent.

    — “With the help of the hand of Allah” ????

    Allah does not have time to offer a helping hand.
    Allah’s hands are too busy fondling 9 year old Aisha.

    One could be excused if, by observation of the mayhem committed in the name of Allah, concluding that the salient directive of Islam is: Kill Something.

    Another conclusion could be that Islam has been taken over by the Djinns; the old excuse of “the devil(Iblis) made us do it”. Why aren’t the apologists using this loophole – does it open another can of ridicule about genies, meteorites, fortune telling, and parallel worlds?

    Mali: “With the help of the hand of Allah,” Muslims kill Red Cross aid worker
    …………………..

    And ISIS has beheaded aid workers.

    God, I hate Islam.

    Yeah, yeah, I was there. I’m even there to help wipe their bums properly, coz My slaves can do nothing without Me, the little stinkers! But seeing I am over all other hands (Q 48:10) do they even once think to show how much greater I am than infidel hands by cutting fingertips off like asked? No! And just look, the Phillipine Catholics just got bin Hir’s fingertip without even being asked. It’s pissing me off. I’m thinking of switching sides. Remember, “And if you turn away (from Islam and the obedience of Allah), He will substitute you for some other people, and they will not be like you.” (Quran 47:38)

    Nothing is too disgusting for me. Stop slacking off.

      Allah’s Hand, I have always heard that you are unfettered. Considering what you get up to, that sure seems to be the case—in spades!
