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

Yemen: Jihadists storm supermarket, take hostages to give “final warning” against mingling of men and women

Oct 27, 2015 3:48 pm By Robert Spencer

“The witnesses said the militants shouted that they were protesting the mingling of men and women in the supermarket and demanded that female employees cover their faces, in keeping with a strict interpretation of Islamic law. A supermarket worker said the militants told them this was the final warning.” Here again we see virtue, or the Islamic idea of it, enforced — as always when it comes to Sharia — by the threat of violence.

“Islamic militants storm supermarket in Yemen’s city of Aden,” by Ahmed Al-Haj, Associated Press, October 25, 2015:

SANAA, Yemen (AP) — Islamic militants stormed a supermarket in Yemen’s southern city of Aden on Sunday, firing into the air and briefly taking hostages, security officials and witnesses said.

About 30 militants arrived at the supermarket in four pickup trucks on Sunday afternoon, the officials and witnesses said. Shoppers fled when the militants fired in the air, but an unknown number were trapped inside when the gunmen locked the doors. The militants freed the hostages after less than an hour and left the scene.

Some supermarket employees were slightly hurt when the militants kicked and punched them.

The witnesses said the militants shouted that they were protesting the mingling of men and women in the supermarket and demanded that female employees cover their faces, in keeping with a strict interpretation of Islamic law. A supermarket worker said the militants told them this was the final warning.

The incident happened in the late afternoon when the Zamaran supermarket, the city’s largest, is usually packed with shoppers. It appeared to be intended as a show of force by the militants who have in recent months wielded significant influence in parts of the city overlooking the Arabian Sea.

Aden has been a main battlefield in the conflict between Shiite rebels, known as Houthis, and allied army units against forces loyal to the internationally recognized government as well as southern separatists and other militants. After pro-government forces expelled the Houthis from Aden in July, al-Qaida appears to have taken advantage of the security vacuum as pro-government forces moved on to challenge the Houthis elsewhere in southern Yemen.

An official at the University of Aden said Islamic militants have threated faculty deans, demanding they ban students of the opposite sex from mixing….

    Eventually all employees will be male and the selection of products available will be limited to halal food.

    Eventually they’ll demand to pick the subjects taught in the University.

    There are some who believe that everyone gets their rights from their government. Good luck with that.

    The vacuous claim that the “religion of peace” will be peaceful when all submit.
    After all of the “pagans”, Jews, and Christians are gone, they will prey on their own
    and kill their fellow Mohamedans. There is no “peace” in this ideology.

      Never was. Never will be. But then again, Mad Mo made sure of that shortly before he died, didn’t he?

      Islam’s doctrine creates a permanent adolescence which will believe the magic mantra of Islam-created peace in place of wisdom and refuting evidence. It was designed to give Islamic leadership a handle of control over the robotic “believers”. When things are going badly, the clerics only need to insist that some unrelated behavior of others is magically causing the current problems.

      Of course, in reality, if the world were only faithful Muslims, they would find a reason to fight and kill each other.

      If they manage to kiss over the burka they’ll probably be killed for sorcery.

    How many Muslim men in the US wish to impose Sharia gender apartheid in the US? How many in Europe want gender apartheid?

    How many want students segregated? Separate theaters, swimming pools, gymnasiums? Separate facilities of all kinds for Muslims and for dirty kafirs?

    How many Muslims want to bring back ghettoes? The Dark Ages?

    If you are shooting the place up, taking hostages, beating people, and threatening worse to come, then it is not a “protest”…

      Right you are Graven! It was a brutal show of dictatorial force. But then again, what else can we expect from the religion of pieces?

        I just hate to see the MSM–AP in this case–so often minimize Muslim violence. This was an *attack*–not a “protest”.

        And good to see you posting, EYESOPEN.

    Merkel, send them ALL back — to Syria, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen, etc. from whence they came.
