Somalia jihad bombing: Death toll rises to 231, over 275 injured

Oct 15, 2017 1:26 pm By Robert Spencer

This is what happens when a belief system that calls for the killing of those who are heretics and apostates takes hold in a society.

An update on this story. “Somalia Bomb Blast: Death Toll Rises to 231, Over 275 Injured,” The Quint, October 15, 2017:

The death toll from the most powerful bomb blast witnessed in Somalia’s capital, Mogadishu, rose to 231, with more than 275 injured, making it the deadliest single attack ever in this Horn of Africa nation, said a senator.

The Saturday, 14 October, blast is the single deadliest attack ever in this Horn of Africa nation.

Ambulance sirens still echoed across the city throughout Sunday, 15 October, as bewildered families wandered in the rubble of buildings looking for missing relatives.

“There’s nothing I can say. We have lost everything,” wept Zainab Sharif, a mother of four who lost her husband. She sat outside a hospital where he was pronounced dead after hours of effort by doctors to save him from an arterial injury.

President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed declared three days of mourning and joined thousands of people who responded to a desperate plea by hospitals to donate blood for the wounded victims. “I am appealing all Somali people to come forward and donate,” he said….

    Jihad suicide-homicide jihad bombers are as deluded as they was dangerous and murderous. For they must had actually believed by that by their murdering jihad bombing he was going to obtain for himself a paradise. The more fool them. For the Bible teaches that a murder “shall not inherit the kingdom of God. ” Galatians 5:21. In addition the falsehood of the story of the doctrine from the Koran, the Qu ‘ran, Sura 44:54. 55:56. 78:31, of a sexual /lust-filled paradise with many virgins, houris, in it for certain men Muslim men is a falsehood the is a story /doctrine is this also absurd. The Bible warns against listening to and believing in unproven, unfounded and far-fetched religious stories. No matter how enticing those religious story /doctrines may be . For the Bible warns against giving “heed to fables…” First Timothy 1:4. Furthermore, the Bible had predicted the coming of such false religious teachers, as those imams, who teaches other a story/doctrine of a lust-filled /lust-fill place for specific men. For the Bible reads “”For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but will after their own lust shall heap to themselves teachers ,having itching ears; and they shall turn their ears for the truth ,and shall be turned unto fables.” Second Timothy 4:3,4. [K.J.V.]

    An important question is “Why are the jihadist bombers, so very, delusional that they actually want to become human bombs? ” Some of the reasons are that such violent and deadly people are the outcome of the extreme brainwashing that is done in Islamic mind programming centers which are more widely known as mosques and madrasas, by the Muslim clerics, such as the imams and in some countries as Afghanistan and Iran also the mullahs. In those Islamic mind programming centers youth are thoroughly indoctrinated into believing in the Islamic doctrine from the Koran. as found in 44;54. 55:56. 78:31.., of a sexual/lust filled paradise with many virgins, houris, in it for the Muslim male who dies fighting for the cause of Islam in the jihad. First and foremost, those who come out of those places of extreme brainwash are so very warped, sick and deluded that they actually view such murderous bombing attacks as “martyrdom operations”
    Likewise, they are so very damaged that they have literally become dangerous to self and others. In addition, the Bible does warn about false teachers who ingrain a belief in a doctrine of a story of a /lustful/lust-filled place with much sex in it. For the Bible warns about false teachers, the Muslim clerics do fit this description, in Second Peter 2:18. Which reads “For they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh…” Furthermore, many a times a jihad –minded Muslim in his death recording talks about “the wedding with the virgins” that he will have after he becomes a “martyr.” Such a belief Jesus would denounce as being based on false doctrine and false teaching. For Jesus taught “Ye do err, not knowing the scripture, nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angles in heaven.” Mathew 22:29, 30. In contrast to the delusional Islamic pipe-dream of the jihadist in the Koranic story/doctrine of a place with virgins, Christians have the reality of Second Peter 1:16. Which reads “For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ…” [K.J.V.]

    Good thing the sons of the prophet ran off all those infidel Marines and their free food. Now they’ve got their Muslim heaven on earth. How the kaffirs in dar-al-harb must envy them their peace and compassion! Gee, let’s invite them to show us how to run our societies!

    The god of Islam likes it when non-Muslims [Kafirs] die . About the god of Islam ,the television Imam Suliman Satari said “Annihilate the Infidels… Allah count them and kill them, to the last one and don’t leave even one.” Furthermore Imam Abu Hamza Al-Masri said “What makes Allah happy? Allah is happy when Kafiers get killed. [1]
    . The above words of these Imams reflect the example of Islam’s prophet and the teachings of the Quran. “Muhammad now fell upon them [the Jews] slew all the men, nine hundred of them…”[2]
    Moreover, the Quran reads “When ye encounter the unbelievers strike off their heads, until ye have made great slaughter among them. Verily if Allah pleased, He could take vengeance on them without your assistance, but He commandeth you to fight His Battles.” 47:4
    In short, these Imams and their murderous prophet with their bloody Quran show the world what Islam really is. After all, Jesus did teach “by their fruits you will know them.” Matthew 7:20. [NKJV]

      Al-Masri: What makes Allah happy? Allah is happy when kafirs get killed.

      A local mosque (Masjid Al Tawad) in Atlantis, Florida, has the following on its Facebook page:
      What does Allah love? Allah loves Mujihadoon (eighth in a list of things loved by Allah).
      This is, of course, a paraphrase of what al-Masri says.

        The Western ‘Progressives’ are ruled by two principles – their hatred of Christ being principle #1. Principle #2 is “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” Old Arab proverb. So you end up with strange bedfellows like gays and feminists rooting for Islam, which teaches the execution of gays and enslavement of women. The way the Progs see it, Muslims despise God and Christ, so they must be good. Never mind that these 7th century primitives would just as soon slaughter the blind kafirs, their useful idiots. All that matters to the Progs is that the Jihadis oppose Christians.

    By religious choice, Somalia is populated by followers of Islam. Given that fact that its people are religiously Islamic, the most contentious issue remains to what degree do Somalis adhere to Islamic principles, and that is the rub creating a civil war there. Anyone in the path of Al Shibab’s methods of Islamic enforcement is a victim. Reports of today refer to a huge explosion where throngs of Somalis are known to be at certain times and days, and in the midst of that is where the explosives were set and detonated, claiming the lives of more than 200 people. “More than…” meaning a final count has yet to be verified.
    We do know that Al Shibab has made its presence felt once again, obviously repeating death threats and bombings as before today.. The fact that the casualties were mostly Somali Muslims begs the question of “What have they done or not done that the Somali terrorist force continues its war upon a Somali population which does practice the Islamic persuasion? What do the terrorists expect Somalis to comply with? What form of Islam already practiced brings Al Shibab’s death sentence
    upon great numbers of Somalis, and why hasn’t the terrorist force been dealt with to cease its wholesale slaughter ?

    Somewhere in Somalia a group of jihadists are dancing around the campfire, slapping each other on the back, and screeching, “Allahu Akbar,” akin to a pack of wild dogs celebrating the spread of the rabies virus.
    Islam requires that the conscience be snuffed out; indeed, it strives to make the formation of a conscience impossible from the moment of birth.

      Yes. And the conscience requires that Islam be snuffed out.

    I didn’t read nor see a comment that president Mohammed did not denounce the terrorist attack but rather stated 3 days of mourning. Seriously?? It was if thie deaths of innocent lives were created by some type of natural disaster.
    Therein lies the biggest problem today with our spineless weakneed so called leaders.

    Isn’t it a great news for Muslims that some ‘true’ Muslims follow Quran and eliminate Muslim hypocrites ?

    Quran:

    9:73:
    Strive hard against the disbelievers and the hypocrites, and be harsh against them, their abode is Hell.

    According to Quran(Words of Allah), A hypocrite can be identified as follows:

    Quran:
    9:56 : hypocrite can be recognized not just by lack of piety (reluctance to follow Sharia), but by fear of death.
    9:44-45: reluctance to fight.
    9:67 : friendliness toward non-believers.

    The good people of Somalia, unfortunately are hypocrites, therefore Allah have send his messenger Muhammad and Jihadists to destroy them.

    Allahu Akbar, Allah bless hypocrite and infidels therefore he send them to hell via Jihad.

    The Somali President’s Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed..that is an islamic name, in Somalia a muslim sharia country, so why was the target other muslims? Who would drive a an exploding truck and kill and badly injure hundreds…a jihadist….so I am now confused why they target themselves unless they are the wrong type of muslim….this is a miserable way to live.

    • fbijihadidefender says

      Oct 16, 2017 at 1:27 pm

      Why ? because they are not “true” Muslim, because they are peaceful, because they are friendly toward kafir, because they refuse to wage war against non-believers. Most importantly, they refuse to imitate Islam most famous psychopath Prophet Mohammad who committed mass killing, fucking underage girl, enemy wives, friend wives and eliminating lovely dogs etc.

      The answers was written in Quran and haddith millennium ago, but the dhimmis just keep asking why. So funny.
