“One of the most brazen attacks in months.” After being driven out of power by the French several years ago, the jihadis in Mali are bolder than ever. Clearly they see the world turning in their direction.
“4 dead, 6 kidnapped after Islamic extremists attack hotels in Mali,” Associated Press, August 7, 2015 (thanks to Pamela Geller):
BAMAKO, Mali – Jihadists stormed two hotels in central Mali on Friday, seizing at least six hostages and killing three Malian soldiers and a U.N. peacekeeper in one of the most brazen attacks in months, defense officials said.
The Islamic militants assaulted one hotel in the town of Sevare, and then after an exchange of gunfire moved on to the Hotel Byblos next door where they grabbed between six and 10 people, said Lt. Col. Diarran Kone.
“The operation to free the hostages is ongoing,” he said.
The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry issued a statement based on information from its embassy in Algeria saying that the goal of the attackers was believed to be to take hostages from among the foreign citizens living in the hotel.
“According to the information available, a Ukrainian citizen may be among those foreign citizens taken hostage. In addition, three citizens of South Africa and a French citizen may be held hostage,” it said….

When Muhammad the mythical prophet of Islam proclaimed that Muslims attempting to leave the fold of Islam are to be put to death, the heads of heretical and apostate Muslims began to roll.
We ex-Muslims living with Islam’s formal and informal death penalty for apostasy know that Islam is a complete fraud.

Islamic Apostasy
Islam’s canonical texts record that the prophet of Islam instructed his followers to kill those Muslims attempting to leave the fold of Islam.
Therefore each and every one of Muhammad’s followers are required to murder any friend or family member that attempts to leave the religion of Islam.
Some Islamic apologists claim that Islam does not call for the death of Muslim apostates, while other Muslims acknowledge that the Islamic scriptures do indeed call for the death of ex-Muslims.
As always, for the answer to whether or not Islamic theology prescribes death to the apostates of Islam we must turn to Islam’s foundational texts, the Qur’an, the Hadith and Sira.
Regardless of whether or not Islam prescribes death for Muslim apostates, it is no doubt a very dangerous proposition to leave the religion. The sad fact is that Islamic theology and law both prescribe death to Muslim apostates.
The sayings and doings of Muhammad, considered to be authentic by the majority of Muslims, are found in the Bukhari hadith collections among others.
Hadith: Bukhari, Vol. 9, Book 84, No. 57:
Narrated Ikrima
Some Zanadiqa (atheists) were brought to Ali and he burnt them. The news of this event, reached Ibn Abbas who said, “If I had been in his place, I would not have burnt them, as Allah’s Apostle forbade it, saying, ‘Do not punish anybody with Allah’s punishment (fire)’. I would have killed them according to the statement of Allah’s Apostle, ‘Whoever changes his Islamic religion, then kill him.’”
Muhammad personally ordered the death of hundreds of innocent people. But then again, the word innocent means something entirely different in ‘Islam Speak’. And keep in mind that Muslims are taught to believe that Muhammad is the perfect man who is to be emulated in every instance…

2,700 people were killed in jihad attacks in the month of July 2015….16,000 jihad deaths since the beginning of 2015. That’s an average of 100 jihad deaths every day.
Is this the Religion of Peace?

I always get such a warm sensation when I think about all these atrocities carried out by muslims in the name of their god allah/ satan. Warm as in Hell fire which is where these jihadists will be spending eternity

This has nothing to do with Islam. They do this because they are poor and need money to feed their kids. So they kill. Simple. What a Moslem to do but kill.

Hostage taking for The Mohammedans is a profitable trade, and it is a trade. It is a trade like it was for the Norsemen. However, the Norsemen took captives in order to sell them in their slave market. The Mohammedans take Europeans hostage to get ransom payments. European governments will pay large sums, so they are the preferred and exclusive clients in the trade.
