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

Kenya: Two Muslims arrested for Islamic State mass murder plots in Nairobi and Mombasa

May 26, 2016 2:38 pm By Robert Spencer

“Kiguzo Mwangolo Mgutu and Abubakar Jillo Mohamed are said to have been radicalized at Kangemi Mosque.” Don’t Kangemi Mosque leaders realize that the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam? Why do so many Muslims misunderstand Islam in exactly the same way? How long are Western leaders going to continue to deceive their people about this question?

Kiguzo Mwangolo Mgutu

“Kenya: Two Arrested As Police Foil Nairobi, Mombasa Terror Plots,” CapitalFM, May 25, 2016 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Police announced Wednesday they had arrested two terror suspects linked to the ISIS network who were planning major attacks in Nairobi and Mombasa.

Kiguzo Mwangolo Mgutu and Abubakar Jillo Mohamed are said to have been radicalized at Kangemi Mosque and were recruited by Mohamed Abdi Ali who has links with the Syrian group.

Police Spokesman George Kinoti said it is Ali who led to them to the two, following his arrest.

Police said they recovered various materials that were to be used to manufacture an IED at Mgutu’s residence in Kangemi.

“Following Mohamed Abdi Ali’s arrest, members of his network have been planning retaliatory attacks using home-made explosives. The arrest of the two has foiled terror attacks with explosives and other weapons that were planned for Nairobi and Mombasa,” Kinoti said in a statement.

Police said they recovered various materials that were to be used to manufacture an IED at Mgutu’s residence in Kangemi.

Materials seized during their arrest include nails, ball bearings, batteries, electrical wire, fertilizer, cell phones and other suspected explosive substances which have been taken for forensic analysis.

Intelligence reports have shown that the two suspects were authors of an online document that declared their allegiance to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

“From our initial investigations, it has been established that Kiguzo Mwangolo Mgutu and Abubakar Jillo Mohamed are amongst authors of the document that have been circulating online purporting the establishment of Jahba East Africa in which they declared their allegiance to the ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi,” the police spokesman said.

He said the suspects had planned to escape from the country to Syria and Libya after carrying out the attacks in which they intended to target innocent Kenyans using public transportation….

    Why do so many Muslims misunderstand Islam in exactly the same way? How long are Western leaders going to continue to deceive their people about this question?

    Everyday I ask this. The answer is; when Hussein is gone. Hopefully by Gods grace! And if Trump becomes POTUS he is going to have bitter battle to turn the ideology around.

    Said it before and am sayin’ it again——-all Muslims are confused human beings but black Muslims, considering Islam’s horrible record on black slavery, are extra confused human beings, and black Muslim women, considering Islam’s disgusting record on both black slavery and women’s rights, are in a category all by themselves——–and not an enviable category to put it mildly.

    Message to all black Muslims from an old white agnostic: Wake the hell up, will ya’? Whatever sins were perpetrated by Judeo-Christian civilization respecting black slavery, Islam’s record here is far, far worse———in terms of duration, in terms of what the founder of Islam said about blacks (e.g., calling them “raisinheads”), in terms of efforts to end black slavery (here, Judeo-Christian civilization has a laudable record and the Islamic world has NOTHING here), and in terms of the capacity to apologize for this egregious wrong.

    No black human being should be a Muslim. One knows this or should know it. Sadly, many human beings to this day, both black and non-black, don’t.

    The Kenyan authorities searched this creep’s *house*.

    But did they search the bl**dy MOSQUE??

    If they didn’t, they should have done. A surprise raid, by the Kenyan *army*, at early-morning ‘prayers’, using overwhelming force, and taking along army sappers with sniffer dogs, to do a *really* thorough search of the mosque plus associated grounds and any outbuildings, etc. Document the search. Document everything found. Anything suspect? – fake passports, stashes of cash and/ or weapons and/ or explosives and/ or illicit drugs, etc etc etc….document the lot… and then… bring in the dynamite or the bulldozers and raze the place to the ground and declare it closed… permanently. If the mohammedans riot, arrest the lot of them. If they fire on the cops or the army, treat them as enemy combatants.

    Further remarks: I’d say it isn’t just Islamic State, or even Al Qaeda. Way back when, the Muslim Brotherhood revivalists were busy teaching Real Islam, Islam by-the-book, in the 1980s, among Muslims in Nairobi – whether Somali or of other ethnicity. Ayaan Hirsi Ali, then a teenager, attended those classes, held both for men and for women. In her case, she managed to avoid being totally brainwashed, retaining a small niggling glimmer of doubt and independent will at the back of her mind, that would ultimately grow and take her right out of Islam. But who knows where her classmates ended up, those who fully embraced Islam, Islam, Islam in all its totalitarian, mind-crushing purity?

    Spencer, you posed: “Why do so many Muslims misunderstand Islam in exactly the same way?”

    Answer: As I know you know, they perfectly understand the teachings and doctrines of Islam. Therefore their actions.

    Understand them just as they are written. Just as they have been passed down to them—according to their “sacred texts”–preserved, and protected from “unacceptable interpretation and deviation.”(Al-Jalalayn, Tafsir, Foreward; A. Bewley, and other sources.}

    Only the unread on the works of the revered men of knowledge in Islam believe otherwise. In brief.

    You posed, “How long are Western leaders going to continue to deceive their people about this question?”

    For as long as their people are willing to be deceived–willing to believe in the lie, in the myth of a Moderate and a Radical Muslim.

      I think it goes beyond a passive willingness to be deceived.

      Most of us actively want to believe the peaceful propaganda, and it’s quite a shock when we realize the magnitude of what we are facing.

      We are largely tolerant and well intentioned, so we find the reality of islam incomprehensible at first.

      It took me several weeks of checking and cross referencing before I allowed myself to accept the ghastly truth, and many more weeks feeling physically revolted by the knowledge of what has been going on for more than a thousand years.

      Is

      islamawareness takes it’s toll on all of us, and I fully understand people’s unwillingness to face the horrible facts.

        May 27, 2016 at 2:39 pm

        I don’t.

        Refusal to face facts is akin to hiding one’s face under the bedclothes.

        **Cowardice**, plain and simple.

        • WorkingClassPost says

          May 28, 2016 at 3:04 am

          Visitors to sites like this are well served with the facts.

          Unfortunately, as many of us repeatedly point out, most people are not so well informed, and that is the real problem.

        • Debi Brand says

          May 28, 2016 at 3:13 am

          Indeed, Mirren10 , across the board to your statement above.

          It is kin to waking up, as I once did, at the probing of the nose of one of your canines, at 0400-ish, to the sound of crackling fire just outside your opened door, in your living room, and to the realization of that room red ablaze.

          Comfort is in the bed, but, in face of such facts, only a fool would pretend one’s home was not ablaze.

          Fear, if allowed to, keeps one from facing facts.

          And Islamic history is littered with the now-humbled, now-subjugated-to-Islam remains of once-strong, once-proud, once-non-Islamic nations, that for just too damn long, refused to believe the facts on Muhammad and his followers.

          In brief.
