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

Mali jihad attack: at least 27 murdered as hostage situation ends

Nov 20, 2015 3:50 pm By Robert Spencer

With the jihadis more aggressive than ever worldwide, the Islamic supremacist propaganda machine in the West is again kicking into high gear, churning out another avalanche of articles about how Islam is a Religion of Peace. But the machine won’t be able to convince people to ignore the growing mountain of contrary evidence forever.

“Mali Hotel Attack: At Least 27 Dead as Hostage Situation Ends,” by Emily Knapp, Anthony Castellano, and Emily Shapiro, ABC News, November 20, 2015:

At least 27 people died today after 170 people were taken hostage at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Mali in West Africa, according to a diplomatic official briefed on the incident.

The attack began this morning in Mali’s capital city of Bamako, with gunmen storming the building. A U.S. defense official said the crisis has ended.

Two attackers died in the incident, said Olivier Salgado of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Mali. The total number of attackers was not immediately clear.

Salgado said of the gunman, “They came to kill, not to take hostages.”

A Belgian member of Parliament Geoffrey Dieudonné was among those killed, Belgium’s regional Parliament said. Dieudonné was training officials from Mali’s Parliament. The Parliament said the precise circumstances of his death are not yet known.

There were 22 military and civilian U.S. Defense Department personnel in Bamako, including five at the Radisson Blu hotel at the time of the siege, according to a defense official. Everyone was accounted for and there were no reports of injuries, the official said.

One U.S. servicemember assigned to Special Operations Command Forward-North and West Africa stepped in to help first responders move civilians from the hotel to secure locations, as Malian forces worked to clear the hotel of hostile gunmen, the defense official said, adding that U.S. forces did not directly participate in the operation.

Six U.S. citizens were rescued from the hotel, according to the U.S. Africa Command….

    It is striking that the Islamic Jihadists released a number of the hostage unharmed after they proved that they were Muslims by recitng , for the jihadis, verses of the Koran.

    In the Mumbai terror attacks in 2008 the Islamic terrorists from Pakistan released a number of hostages from the hotel Oberoi. They did this when the hostages in question proved that they were Muslims by reciting passages from the Koran.

    In fact a Muslim Labour MP who was in the hotel at the time of the attack was allowed to leave unharmed by the Islamic Pakistani terrorists . He never gave any interviews about his experiences but seems to have withdrawn to the margins of obscurity in Britiwh politics.

    He is biding his time, no doubt, until the day comes when Britain has a Muslim majority electorate. He can then emerge and take his rightful place as a Muslim politician in a Muslim majority British House of Parliament.- a day not too far off I fear!

    Hey who knows maybe these guys “only started wearing a Muslim veil a month ago” because terrorist attacks that inevitably get claimed by ISIS a MUSLIM group have absolutely nothing to do with the scriptures that they get their motives and methods of execution and punishment from.

    This is the reaping 666

    13 jihadis were killed. French troops are there and Spain had military training rhe Mali army. It seems to have been Al Qawda. Jihadi oneupmanship.

    If it was a particularly gruesome death they’re probably withholding details as not to “smear” anyone or “incite hatred” against a specific group.
