Kenya: Muslims murder 12 non-Muslims sleeping in hotel, as “part of a campaign to kill ‘unbelievers'”

Oct 27, 2016 7:20 am By Robert Spencer

Not that this has anything to do with Islam. No doubt John Kerry and Pope Francis are on their way to Mandera right now to explain to al-Shabab how they’re misunderstanding the religion of peace.

“Extremist group Shabab raids Kenyan border town and massacres teachers,” by Robyn Dixon, Los Angeles Times, October 25, 2016:

The Somali extremist group Shabab claimed responsibility Tuesday for an attack that killed at least 12 non-Muslims sleeping in a hotel in the northern town of Mandera near the Somali border.

The attack on Bishaaro Guest House was part of a campaign to kill “unbelievers” in Kenya, the Islamist group said. Shabab, affiliated with Al Qaeda, claimed 15 were killed, while authorities put the toll at 12.

The attackers reportedly used explosives to blow open the metal front doors of the hotel before bursting in and shooting the victims.

Hours later, the group claimed responsibility for another major attack within Somalia when a suicide bomber with a truck carrying explosives slammed into the gate of a military base of the U.N.-funded African forces fighting Shabab, AMISOM.

The base in Beledweyne, north of the capital, Mogadishu, was occupied by soldiers from Djibouti, an important U.S. ally in the volatile Horn of Africa. Gunmen then attacked the base, a strategy successfully used in past attacks, including an attack against Kenyan forces in El Ade, southern Somalia, in January, which killed some 180 soldiers, Kenya’s worst military loss….

The victims in the Mandera guest house attack included 11 men and one woman. Ten of those killed in the early hours of the morning were teachers from other parts of Kenya, in Mandera to stage plays for students about books that have been set as part of the high school curriculum, local officials told Kenyan media….

It was the second attack in three weeks in Mandera, a volatile border town. In an Oct. 5 attack, five Christians were beheaded, with Shabab claiming responsibility….

    Genocide killer, 9:5 ‘… kill the idolators wherever you may find them … means, on the earth in general
    … This way, they will have no choice, but to die or embrace Islam, …’

    “The Somali extremist group Shabab”

    Here, again, the oxymoronic, PC assertion that compliance with Big Al’s Big Book constitutes “extremism”.

    Here it comes.

    BBC ‘World’ —- is so predictable.

    Expect a harsh report not on MUSLIMS in Kenya but instead against alleged corruption in Kenyan government to avoid criticizing Islam or showing any support for anti-Islamic terrorism.

    If Obama weren’t a Muslim and sent a few cruise missiles to BBC, Al Shabaab would quickly lose its foundational PR foothold and soon be crushed out of existence.

    Robert, I think you should keep Pope Francis out of your “fly off to and tell them what true Islam is” meme.

    1) Most Catholics have no idea what you are trying to get at there. You will be alienating a lot of people for no good reason. If you want to criticize the Pope just stick to criticizing his words on these subjects – there is enough ground to do so.

    2) Do you really want to elevate John Kerry’s standing? Think about it. (This is my pet peeve here).

    3) Unlike the people you normally put into the “fly off to…” meme, there is undoubtedly a part of Francis that WOULD want to do exactly that, and would not ignore (wrongfully minimize, yes, but not ignore) the risks. This also plays into point #1.

    Sometimes there are battles we should not pick. This is one of them.

      Tom, most Catholics couldn’t tell you what the supreme law of their church is. If pressed on the issue, most would mumble something about love, instead.

        Oct 27, 2016 at 11:52 am

        That is kinda my point too.

        Which is also why, if a Catholic takes the Pope to task on a subject such as Muslim immigration, he or she always has to point out that prudential differences are allowed, even with a Pope. Such people need to know such disagreement isn’t the Reformation all over again.

        I should have not agreed to the “most Catholics” line. It ain’t true. Some, yes, but not most.

    This is why Tenth Master Sri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib ji Mahraj gifted Sikhs with Miri/Piri Kirpan.

    Thanks Prabhupad for enlightening us about basic disposition of negroidal aborignee.

    Sanskritize, Saffronize,Civilize, Self-Realize.

    We need ahimsa agriculture and ahimsa military to wipe out material and spiritual poverty.

    Donald J. Trump in White House would be good first step to Ahimsa (non-violent prosperous) Earth for all Earthlings.

      Donald Trump will help Hare Krishnas? Who knew!

      That “aborignee” line sounds racist.

    The attack on Bishaaro Guest House was part of a campaign to kill “unbelievers” in Kenya, the Islamist group said.

    Killing unbelievers for the sake of killing unbelievers. Not because they hosted a mukahham cartoon contest, or because they distrusted muslims and linked islam with terrorists, or because poverty and lack of opportunities, or racism, or global warming, or because Trump said something about halting muslim migration into the US, just killing unbelievers because they’re unbelievers.

    So, your saying that, should I visit Kenya, I’ll need to travel al a Indiana Jones? Keeping one eye open and a hand on my Sig 226 ?
    With maybe a half dozen extra magazines near at hand?
    Sounds like a nice place to travel. BUT only when your there as part of a heavily armed tour group!

    ………………….

    The terrible thing is that I am not even shocked by such stories anymore. Sickened and horrified, yes, but no longer shocked.

    God, I hate Islam.

    Islam is war on human civilization itself. Note that the target were teacher!. Without a doubt Obama is denying the Kenyan government military intelligence to track, locate and destroy Al Shab. Obama’s Kenyan family are active Islamist, he has assisted them in the past. Its time to impeach Obama now.

    It is the epitome of arrogance to assume that you know more about someone’s life than they do. But to go and lecture them on the matter is much worse. To be honest, the pope is only qualified in matters religious ie Christian only. To follow his thinking in any other area is frivolous.

    The fundamental motivation for jihad is clearly stated in the Quran – if our politicians would only read it. Anyone who would deny that jihadists are motivated by the numerous verses of violence in Islam’s holy scriptures, is sadly mistaken. And yet, Hillary Clinton wants to allow more of them into your country? She’s either ignorant, crazy, or has a cultural deathwish for America!
    http://legacy.quran.com/

    “Fight them until there is no [more] fitnah (discord) and [until] worship is [acknowledged to be] for Allah. But if they cease, then there is to be no aggression except against the oppressors.” (Q2:193).
    NB: To Muslims, the word ‘oppressors’ doesn’t mean those who are trying to impose Islam on the people, but those who are opposing that imposition.

    “And how many cities have We destroyed, and Our punishment came to them at night or while they were sleeping at noon.” (Quran 7:4). Non-Muslims are ‘punished’ – ie murdered – simply for not accepting Muhammad’s supernatural mumbo-jumbo. Most of his victims already had their own religions – sometimes hundreds or thousands of years older than Islam.

    “And fight them until there is no fitnah (opposition) and [until] the religion, all of it, is for Allah. And if they cease – then indeed, Allah is Seeing of what they do.” (Quran 8:39). Islam does not tolerate any opposition.

    “Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth (Islam) from those who were given the Scripture (Jews & Christians) – [fight] until they give the jizyah (protection tax) willingly while they are humbled (as dhimmis or third class citizens).” (Quran 9:29).

    “O you who have believed, fight those adjacent to you of the disbelievers and let them find in you harshness. And know that Allah is with the righteous.” (Quran 9:123).

    “Have they not traveled through the land and seen how was the end of those before them? Allah destroyed [everything] over them, and for the disbelievers is something comparable.” (Quran 47:10).

    “Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; and those with him are forceful against the disbelievers, merciful among themselves … Allah has promised those who believe and do righteous deeds among them forgiveness and a great reward (Paradise – and all those virgins).” (Quran 48:29).

    It’s absolutely amazing.
    World leaders must have full access to the same news and information on current events as we do. But, (likely because of the SAUDI cash machine.) seem to have no idea who the enemy is?
    The situation is beyond comprehension!
    (unless you figure in that massive Saudi teat of plenty) Why do leaders around the World continue to embrace NAZISM? ( sorry, I meant islam) when they know it’s eventually going to get us all murdered?
    Humm. It is indeed a conundrum.

    Good advice needless to say because most people will go for the cheapest option.
