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

Raymond Ibrahim: ‘Are You Muslim or Christian? Death to Christians!’

Apr 3, 2015 8:43 am By Raymond Ibrahim

Garissa attackMuslim wholesale slaughter of Christians struck again on April 2 in Kenya.  Gunmen from the Somali Islamic group, Al Shabaab—“the youth”—stormed Garissa University, singled out Christian students, and murdered them, some beheaded.  A total of 147 people were killed in the attack—making this jihad more spectacular than the 2013 Al Shabaab attack on a Nairobi mall, which left 67 people dead (then, Islamic gunmen also singled out Christians for slaughter).

Collins Wetangula, vice chairman of the student union, said he could hear from inside his room where he was hiding the gunmen opening doors and inquiring if the people inside were Muslims or Christians: “If you were a Christian you were shot on the spot.  With each blast of the gun I thought I was going to die.”According to eyewitnesses present at Garissa University, the Islamic gunmen were careful to separate Christians from Muslims before they began the carnage of the former.  After all, although Kenya is 83% Christian, it is approximately 11% Muslim.  Joel Ayora, who survived the attack, said gunmen burst into a Christian service, seized worshippers, and then “proceeded to the hostels, shooting anybody they came across except their fellows, the Muslims.”

The fact that Christians were singled out and slaughtered has received little attention in the mainstream media: most mention it, but only towards the very bottom as an incidental, peripheral matter of little significance (see for example the BBC’s minimal treatment); others portray it as a new tactic or phenomenon.

In fact, Al Shabaab has a long history of singling Christians out from among Muslims for slaughter. The following are just a few examples from Kenya that took place in the last few months, most never reported on any mainstream media:

  • December 2, 2014: Al Shabaab gunmen launched an early morning raid on quarry workers sleeping in their worksite tents near the city of Mandera, along the Somali border. Christians and Muslims were separated before the Christians, thirty-six of them, were beheaded or shot dead.
  • November 22, 2014: Al Shabaab attacked a bus and  massacred 28 of its Christian passengers.  Again, Muslim passengers were separated and left unharmed.
  • August 24, 2014: Al Shabaab abducted a group of traders near the island of Lamu.  The militants eventually released three of them, because they were Muslims, but beheaded the fourth, a Christian.
  • June 15, 2014: Approximately 50 militants from Al Shabaab went on a killing spree in Mpeketoni, a predominantly Christian town on Kenya’s coast.  They chanted “Allahu Akbar,”killed whoever could not recite verses from the Koran, and went door-to-door asking residents their religion, killing those who answered “Christian.”  More than 57 people were killed, including six children of church pastors.

The only time in Kenya that Muslim jihadis do not inquire about the religious identity of their potential victims is when they attack churches—such as when they set fire to Covenant Church and roasted Christians alive (they destroyed a Catholic church on the same night); or when two heavily armed jihadis entered the Joy in Jesus Church in Monbasa during Sunday service and “sprayed the congregation with bullets, killing at least seven Christians”; or when “youths,” in the words of Reuters, “threw petrol bombs at two Kenyan churches on Christmas day.”

The logic is that whoever is inside a church—visiting Muslim or practicing Christian, man, woman, or child—deserves death without question… Keep Reading

    Strangely, President Obama could have easily (‘fooled’ ) them into believing he was a Muslim and would have had no trouble passing the test reciting the Qur’an backwards and forwards while claiming “The future does not belong to those who slander MO”

    BTW, Many Somali Muslims were allowed into Kenya with claims of a hard luck story.
    No kind deed goes unpunished when done for Muslims.
    I would guess that Al Shabaab has many recruits and much community support from these foreign born Muslim in cahoots with their fellow (Buckets of Blood religion) local born Muslims.

      It is (MUSLIMS) without honor like MUHAMMAD butchering innocents
      That is what Islam does

      Beware of the DAMAGE CONTROL TROLL (Justin)
      When Muslims must sink so low as to resort to hiring trolls from the Huff Post like Justin to distract from the endless carnage and filth of Islam it is clear that the pig bath religion is being exposed from all directions.

      Then Keyna should expel every one of them.

    Kenya needs to wise up fast because they are experiencing a Jihadist terror campaign very similar to Boko Haram in Nigeria. There are worrying similarities, incompetent political leadership and incompetent security forces. Britain and Australia had wind of the attack and had issued warnings to it’s citizens. Meanwhile Kenya’s president was a day before the attack dismissing the risk. Only two guards at the gate of a university in a city that has seen many jihadist attacks.
    There is also a real risk that al-Shabab is morphing into an transnational Jihadist group, drawing recruits from muslims inside Kenya.

      Islam is a pig bath religion.

      When Muslims behave this way they are following the example of the supreme pig Muhammad.
      Kenya and the world only needs to REVEAL this and Islam receive the disgrace that it has earned.
      Let all Muslims bow their heads in shame at the revealed dishonor of Muhammad.

        All Muslims rejoice when Christian and Jews are butchered. That’s how sickos they are. Don’t expect any sympathy from them or from their western enablers. The world is now awaiting the next brutality with a yawn.

    The future does not belong to those who believe Mohammad is God’s messenger.

    Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life.

    He…. IS RISEN.

      Muslims resent what they lack.
      Islam is a bottomless pit of emptiness.
      No wonder Muslims love death more than life.

      Gary, Amen and Amen. I’m one of those Christians who is fully conscious of the fact that every time I worship on Sunday, I am saying “Christos Anesti (Christ is Risen).”

    This is a repeat of the Nairobi massacre.

    Please send this video to all media outlets, explaining how an identical episode, occurred in the Quran:

    They swear by Allah that they are indeed of you; but they are not of you: yet they are afraid (to appear in their true colours). If they could find a place to flee to, or caves, or a place of concealment, they would turn straightaway thereto, with an obstinate rush.
    (Quran 9:56-7) (Yusuf Ali)

    So, EVERYTHING to do with Islam, then………..

      David Wood, the very personification of irony. And there is *such* a rich ground for the ironical when it comes to the Moslem and his enablers. Love the guy (Wood, not the Moslem).

    The numbers set forth here by Ibrahim are true, but as shocking as they are they have caused no uproar in Western nations. This is because there are few Christians in these countries now, and those left are fringe players without much influence on public opinion. The secular humanists who replaced Christians in the West stupidly believe that the Moslems won’t kill them, because they’re not Christians.

    But, to take an example from this yesterday’s news, the nuclear warheads that will be speeding down on Israel sometime over the near to mid-term future will not distinguish between observant Jews and liberal Jews.

    The Muslim ‘faith’….

    A lie from the pit of hell.

    “Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son. Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also. ”

    1John2:22-23

    I wonder if any of Kenya’s military or police are Muslims?

    If some in those units are Muslims, do they get along well with the majority of Christians–or not?

    And to whom/what do they declare their allegiance?
