Reuters, like all of the mainstream media, can’t bring itself to say that Islamic jihadists did this, and so their headline has the car bomb killing ten people, as if the car decided on its own to sow murder and mayhem.
“At least 10 killed by car bomb at Mogadishu restaurant: police,” Reuters, April 21, 2015:
MOGADISHU: At least 10 people were killed when a suspected suicide bomber rammed a car laden with explosives into a busy restaurant in the center of capital Mogadishu Tuesday, police said.
The attackers targeted a small restaurant at lunch hour that is popular with government officials, about 1 kilometer (0.6 mile) from the presidential palace in the heart of Mogadishu.
The explosion also hit a small tea shop next to the restaurant and sent a huge plume of smoke above the city which lies on the Indian Ocean.
“The death toll is sure to rise,” said Police Colonel Osman Ibrahim at the scene. Police said was the attack was a suicide bombing.
No group has claimed responsibility but previous bombings in Mogadishu have been carried out by the Islamist Al-Shabaab rebel group….

These poor Somalis are by legal definition refugees. Refugees from themselves, true, but seeking refuge nonetheless. Why fight it, just bring them all over here to Minnesota and get it over with. It’d be good for the economy too, with 10 million new citizens there’d be growth, and the FBI and DHS would have plenty of new work, which would lead to new law enforcement and intelligence jobs. Intelligence and compassion, central intelligence, non sequiturs for growth… as a nation… as human beings.

These jihad suicide/homicide bombing attacks are not only actions of evil and madness but it’s also the behavior of those who very very deluded. These insane actions are the outcome on men believing in the bizarre, strange and outlandish Islamic doctrine for the Koran, 44:54.55:56.78:31., of a sex-filled paradise with many virgins,houris, in it the the male Muslim who dies in the jihad for the cause of Islam. This odd and weird Koran doctrine, of a sex-filled place with virgins, has inspired many Muslim males to commit much murderous mayhem. In other words, this nonsensical and far-fetched Koranic doctrine of Islam had been and will continue to be the cause of male Muslims to commit much murder and chaos. Therefore, the French philosopher, Voltaire, did make a good and valid point when he wrote “As long as men continue to believe in absurdities they will continue to commit atrocities.”.

The Muslim clerics ,such as the imams, have the jihad minded Muslims so thoroughly under their Islamic mind control to such a outrageous extreme that those who engage in the terrible suicide/homicide bombing view their own murderous actions as “martyrdom operations.” That’s a warped, sick and deluded as a person can get. Moreover, the reader might ,very much, notice that those imams who do all this brainwashing are never the ones who go out and commit the suicide bombing. The those Muslim clerics do is brainwash other to carry out that hideous type attack. Then all the while those bombing those same Muslim clerics ,who brainwashed those people in the first place , sit home safe. This alone say something about the real character of those imams.
