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

Kenya: Muslim cleric urged Muslims to burn down churches and kill police officers

Sep 8, 2017 2:15 pm By Robert Spencer

A Muslim cleric? A man who had dedicated his life to understanding Islam correctly and communicating it effectively? How could he have misunderstood the Religion of Peace so spectacularly? The learned imams Pope Francis and H.R. McMaster are no doubt on their way to Mombasa now, to explain to Abubaker Sharif how authentic Islam and the proper understanding of the Qur’an reject every form of violence.

“Kenyan cleric charged over riots,” by Joseph Akwiri, Reuters, September 3, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Mombasa, Kenya – A Kenyan Muslim cleric accused by Washington of supporting al Qaeda-linked militants in Somalia was charged on Monday with inciting violent protests that rocked the port city of Mombasa last week.

Abubaker Sharif allegedly urged protesters to burn down churches and kill police officers in Kenya’s second-biggest city during riots that killed five people, including three police.

The violence followed the assassination of another Muslim cleric, Aboud Rogo, also accused by the United States of supporting militant group al-Shabaab – t he [sic] Islamist rebels Kenya’s military have been battling since invading Somalia last year.

Sharif turned himself in at a court in Mombasa on Monday after an arrest warrant was issued against him last week. He said his life was in danger in the wake of the rioting.

“He, without lawful excuse uttered words that all sheikhs associated with the government, and who are government agents (should) be slaughtered,” the charge sheet read.

The cleric, who was accompanied by his lawyer and a group of activists, pleaded not guilty to the charges and was remanded in police custody until Wednesday.

Rogo, who had been facing charges of possessing weapons, was shot in his car by unknown attackers last Monday.

His supporters fought running street battles with security forces in the hours after his death, and sporadic violence continued over the following days. Churches were torched and two grenades were thrown at police vehicles….

Sharif had previously been arrested in December after a grenade attack on a bus in Nairobi killed one person. He, like Rogo, had been out on bail. The two are on a U.S. sanctions list for allegedly supporting al-Shabaab. – Reuters

      Exactly , Guy Forester ! The United States sanctions these Imams and even carries out Drone strikes against their Al Qaeda followers ,….but yet we CONTINUE TO BRING IN MUSLIM REFUGEES courtesy of the UN from a camp in KENYA ! Is this not INSANE ? We carry out Drone strikes against these jihadists but LET OUR STATE DEPARTMENT BRING THEM IN THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR . The State Department is getting around President Trump’s travel ban by bringing in potential jihadists FROM KENYA. Yes , they are coming to a neighborhood near you ,…COURTESY OF OUR STATE DEPARTMENT . Allahu Akbar

          My friend works at Costco. She wrote a letter to our State Senator complaining that Muslims are using their EBT credit cards, (Credit card – So as not to SHAME them by having to use welfare coupons), not for food, but for Large ticket items like Large screen H.D. T.V.’s, cameras, jewelry, ect..ect..ect.. She got a response from the State Senator….

          The State knows, and there’s not a thing they can do about it.

        i remember a period when there was discussion about making a law that catered to the “spiritual needs” of Arabic businessmen, something about allowing them to bring in their personal imam so they could “worship” in their way..

        does anyone remember discussions like that?

    How ironic that the religion of peace would call for destruction!

    Oh, The humanity!!

    When dealing with people, let us remember we are not dealing with creatures of logic. We are dealing with creatures of emotion, creatures bustling with prejudices and motivated by pride and vanity.

      For God sake when is society going to stop sleep walking and catering to these moslem butchers of humanity!

      Why do you have an armed forces to train young men and women to fight over in other lands when we have an enemy that the God Damn politicians just let into there country walking across the borders in some cases to kill our own armed forces members and our countries citizens. Madness!

      Politicians should be put on trial for allowing this type of immigration policy to continue to happen unimpeded in there country.

      A governments first duty is to protect its citizens!!!

        naaa… The government is too busy protecting liberal P.C. agenda. But you are correct.

        The West better wake up!

        “A little sleep, a little slumber,
        a little folding of the hands to rest—
        and destruction will come on you like a thief
        and scarcity like an armed man.” (Proverbs 6:10)

        I know … How to stop this is the Question .. People are really angry , deep inside . People like me , who don’t normally get upset at everyday happenings .
        , know instinctively, that what is happening now by all our governments , is not good .. the reputation of Islam is shattered.. And it can never be made right , because it was bad to begin with .. I feel a great fear for humanity now . Deep in my soul .

    “Turhibunna” (terrorise them) Koran 8.60

    I hope the Kenyan judiciary looks up this Koranic verse as well as the jurisprudence that is attached to it.

    Quote from Dr. Hans Jansen, Arabist, “Terrorism – Outsiders (to Islam) will nevertheless have difficulty in believing that the Koran directly orders ASSASSINATION of rulers in 5:44, but they will be even more amazed when they see that a number of Muslims take 8:60 as a command to terrorize non-Muslims. The verse actually uses the word turhibuuna, which in contemporary Standard Arabic definitely means ‘you terrorize’. A court interpreter who during a trial translated ‘YOU TERRORIZE’ with anything else than ‘turhibuuna’ would be replaced instantaneously – if found out. The same is true for a conference interpreter who has to give a simultaneous translation.”

    One must bear in mind, too, that Kenya, currently, is *massively* majority-Infidel.

    Muslims are *minority* in Kenya.

    Though… they have used *hijra*, ‘migration’, to build their demographic base… they turned Somalia (100 percent mohammedan) into a ghastly chaotic mess of perpetual war, *then* – as ‘refugees’ – they *swarmed* across the border into Kenya, where they have set up huge ‘refugee camps’ – i.e. colonies.

    In the 1970s onward, Muslim Brotherhood operatives – essentially, Islamic revivalists preaching that old-time religion, reminding people of the basic goals and practices of Islam as modelled by Mohammed and his gang – were very active in Kenya: Ayaan Hirsi Ali describes how they went about it, indoctrinating the men … and the women (female MB operatives worked on the women, getting them to wear full hijab, etc). Ayaan didn’t quite swallow the brainwashing – too intelligent, too attracted, already, by alternative ways of thinking that she had encountered in her voracious reading of English-language children’s and adult literature and popular novels – but I’m sure that many, many others *did*.

    Now the Muslims, having gotten into Kenya as ‘poor refugees’ – are repaying Kenya by waging jihad against its non-Muslim population, especially against its Christians (who, btw, have managed to convert at least *some* of the Muslims into Christians… and *those* Christians are particularly targeted, as I know from reading Barnabas Fund newsletters).

    Bottom line though, is that not enough are apostasising, for Kenya to be able to safely tolerate a massive and aggressive Muslim presence inside their boundaries.
    I would not shed a tear if Kenyan Infidels mustered their collective will and clout and required *every* identifiable Mohammedan – most of whom are from Somalia – to pack up and get out and go to Somalia; and then, after chasing them out, massively fortified and patrolled the border henceforward.

    Only a complete separation of the Ummah from the Infidels is sufficient, at this stage, to ensure a modicum of peace and safety for Infidels in Infidel nation-states and societies.

      *Yes*–Kenya is *not* an Islamic country–but violent Muslims are trying to change all that.

    Now where would a muslim cleric get the insidious idea to slay the unbelievers wherever they are to be found?

    From allah himself koran 2;191:the “proper understanding” of which would suggest that allah is perfectly OK with muslims violating God’s Sixth Commandment prohibiting murder.

    Funny that:one law for mankind{God’s Commandments} and another contradictory “law” for allah and his devout followers.

    allah has a warped moral compass.
