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

“Let Muslims avoid going to the hotels where men and women misbehave”

Or else. For Al Shabaab is very concerned about “immoral culture,” but doesn’t consider murdering those who engage in this “immoral culture” to be an immoral act at all.

al-Shabaab7

“Somali Islamists warn against ‘immoral culture’ at hotels, beaches,” by Feisal Omar, Reuters, September 2, 2015:

NAIROBI (Reuters) – Islamist militants al Shabaab issued a warning against Somalis who frequent hotels, beaches and nightclubs in the capital Mogadishu, saying it will target men and women who engage in “immoral culture.”

Al Shabaab frequently stages bomb and gun attacks in the capital – and especially around popular hotels – in its bid to topple Somalia’s Western-backed government and impose a harsh version of Islamic law.

Somalia, which descended into chaos after dictator Mohamed Siad Barre was ousted in 1991, is trying to rebuild after two decades of conflict and chaos.

Improvements to the security situation in Mogadishu has led some Somalis to return from the diaspora, and they have brought with them habits of playing music into the night and swimming in Mogadushu’s white sand Indian Ocean beaches.

“Let Muslims avoid going to the hotels where men and women misbehave,” Sheikh Ali Jabal, Al Shabaab’s leader for the capital region, said in a statement. “Anybody engaged in this immoral culture is seen as part of the enemies that invaded Somalia.”…

    Al Shabaab is very concerned about “immoral culture,” but doesn’t consider murdering those who engage in this “immoral culture” to be an immoral act at all.

    If this is being critical of Al Shabaab, then let it be noted that the criticism is false. Al Shab’s stance is fully compliant with Islamic scriptures, it’s 100% halal red meat. By the stated positions of Western nations on Islam, including America’s position, the Moslem activists who do these killings are only dutiful executioners exeucting the will of Allah. By that logic, then, Prez Barack Hussein should publicly congratulate the killers for their work.

    The 17 Repbulicans should chime in with public statements of their own, for all of them agree that Islam is a religion of peace one of the world’s great religions one of the three Abrahamic faiths.

    Let us be public in our endorsement of Islam. When they are forced to take corrective actions like this, the Moslems need our open support, not silence.

        Islam is biggest joke of all if you can manage to laugh at it through all of the beheading and sex slavery and pedophilia and Sharia law.

          Islam is biggest joke of all if you can manage to laugh at it…

          Watch it, Saleem. Remember, there is no fun in Islam. The great Ayatollah Khomeini said that. He is not to confused with the Ayatollah Khamenei, the current Supreme Leader of Persia, who is great too cuz he just cut one of the all time diplomatic deals with Secretary War Coward and Prez Barack Hussein. These people are subtle and nuanced, right down to their names. My bet is that the Ayatollah Khamenei agrees with Ayatollah Khomeini that there is no fun in Islam; I know I do.

        A very similar, strange incident happened to me a few days ago. I attempted to post something; and the site (???) was going to post my message as “Davegreybeard”. (?!?) I had to “log out” as Davegreybeard to clear this… “cross-talk” and re-load the page to do a “clean” post.

        Veeeeery wierd. (BTW, for any who don’t know what “cross-talk” is, that is a communications reference to a strange occurrence – say, when you are talking on the phone to someone, and then you hear someone else’s voice from a completely different connection/conversation.)

          EYESOPEN, the same thing happened to me yesterday. I had not even logged in, but when I went to post a message, I happened to notice that I was logged in as “Daveygreybeard.” I immediately logged out, closed my browser, and then started over. I now make it a habit to make sure that I am not logged in as someone else.

          Yeah – by crikey who on earth would want to be accused of being remotely associated with the imbecilic extremist rants of the alleged idiot Davegreybeard? Never before or since seen such a nasty imbecile – but was it always that toss pot or was he hacked to seem to be the toss pot he seems to be?

    Whereas “moral culture” for them is child mutilation, worshipping and
    emulating an insane paedophile, forcing women to dress up in bin bags
    because they are so disgusted by them, “anal jihad” (which I am sure they’re
    only too happy to engage in), walking around in stupid dresses, bestiality etc.
    – but hey, at least they can absolve themselves by feigning outrage at normal
    consenting couples. Allahu ackbar!

    • Alarmed Pig Farmer says

      Sep 4, 2015 at 9:03 am

      “anal jihad”

      As practiced in a ritual when the Mujahidin Men who took Benghazi that night did a homosexual gang rape of the deluded global-socialist Amb. Chris Stevens before finishing him off. It is odd that they somehow knew that there would be important people at the Benghazi that night, letting them to show up in numbers with RPGs and mortars when the now murdered Stevens arrived. They either got that info from someone who’d hacked Hillary’s felonious email server, or Huma just picked up her cell and phoned it in. Even for a non-conspiracy theorist, that night was just too big of a coincidence. And only Mark Steyn writes about it.

        I also read about ISIS fighters who were filmed being penetrated
        by their group leaders so that the footage could be released on
        the internet so as to shame anybody who defected – I’m not joking!

        I’m no conspiracy theorist either, but I don’t believe things are mere
        coincidence with the Obama administration – not when it ALWAYS just
        so happens that they embolden and align themselves with islamists.
        This may be old news, but it ties in with what’s going on right now :

    Great news!! Improvements to the security situation in Mogadishu has led some Somalis to return from the diaspora, and they have brought with them habits of playing music into the night and swimming in Mogadushu’s white sand Indian Ocean beaches.
    Lets hope things continue to improve so more somalis return home and leave here. Unfortunately the welfare benefits there really suck so too many will stay.

    I always thought welfare was for unfortunate CITIZENS, not for unauthorized, illegal immigrants.

    Recipe for bankruptcy.

    Well I guess al shitbob won’t be visiting any German beaches in the near future. Blond hair, blue eyes, long legs, big boobs AND NO TAN LINES. You getting horny yet hadji?
    I know a big busted blond who can carry six steins of beer in each hand. Sexy.

    Maybe the Germans have a secret weapon and they don’t even realize it yet.

    Surely a day at the beach with a few beers would do these guys and their friends a world of good. They could have a nice wash and realise that there’s more to life than waging endless jihad.

    “Somalis to return from the diaspora, and they have brought with them habits of playing music into the night and swimming in Mogadushu’s white sand Indian Ocean beaches”.

    So there you have it, Islamic morality police are quiveringly mad at those who play music into the night and swim at beaches. Kind of suggests an intolerance of fun?

    • Linde Barrera says

      Sep 4, 2015 at 2:51 pm

      To Baucent- According to Transparency International, can you guess in 3 seconds the #1 most corrupt nation on planet Earth? Time is up! If you guessed Somalia and North Korea, you would be correct. They both tie the #1 position. (Many born in Somalia during certain years have never been issued a birth certificate!) Here are the rest in the top 10 most corrupt nations: 3. Sudan. 4.Afghanistan. 5.South Sudan. 6. Iraq. 7.Turkmenistan. 8.Uzbekistan. 9.Libya. 10.Eritrea. And this fact also reveals that 8 of the 10 are majority Islamic! (South Sudan is 60% majority Christian, and North Korea is “atheist” even though it has a certain percentage that are Christian as well as other “Far East” religious affiliations. Open Doors ranks North Korea as #1 in persecuting its Christian population.) In my opinion, Somalia, with its very unstable government, is not to be trusted. Anyone who might be returning, are doing so because they want to get their relatives out. So this “warning” is a crap-shoot of propaganda.

  10. Michael Copeland says

    Sep 4, 2015 at 4:18 am

    Note how the reporter, Omar Feisal (hardly a kafir name), artfully writes of “a harsh version of Sharia law”, thereby deflecting attention away from the source of the problem, Islam.
    The Manual of Islamic Law, “Reliance of the Traveller” does not list a harsh version.
    No, as JihadWatch readers will know, thanks to Robert Spencer, the law is there, it is just that not all Muslim societies APPLY it to the full.

      Dancing boys of Afghanistan audience (Islamic closet homosexuals)

    Muslims who follow Muhammad’s example invoke Allah to blame women.
