The death toll from the truck bombing in Mogadishu in October has risen to at least 587, according to the final report of a Somali committee which investigated the attack, making it one of the world’s deadliest terrorist attacks in history.
316 others were injured. Initially 18 were reported dead and 30 injured in the jihad suicide bombing.
Note that the two other deadliest terror attacks in modern history are the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks in New York City and attacks on Yazidi towns in northern Iraq. All three were jihad attacks; they were not committed by “right-wing extremists” or “Islamophobes.” They were committed as acts of jihad against those who were deemed to be infidels. Those who committed them invoked Islamic religious texts to justify them.
“Death toll from Mogadishu truck bombing rises to 587”, BNO News, March 5, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
The death toll from the truck bombing in Mogadishu in October has risen to at least 587, according to the final report of a Somali committee which investigated the attack, making it one of the world’s deadliest terrorist attacks in history.
The committee, which was staffed by volunteers to identify the victims and to raise funds for those affected, said in its final report on Sunday that the death toll stood at 587, an increase of 75 when compared to the previous update in December.
In addition to those killed, at least 316 others were injured, including 122 people who were airlifted to Turkey, Sudan, and Kenya for treatment….
A death toll of 587 makes it the third deadliest terrorist attack in modern history.
At least 796 people were killed in August 2007 when four coordinated truck bombings hit two Yazidi towns in northern Iraq, according to figures from the U.S. military. The deadliest attack happened in 2001 when hijacked planes were flown into the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. A fourth plane crashed in Pennsylvania. Nearly 3,000 people were killed.

Islam is as Islam does.

Somalia, where the shithole is the deepest.
Mamo says
Yes You are right, remember when terrorists attacked the world trade center,the majority of Somalis were happy over the destruction.because terrorists attacked Christians or according to them kafir.well then what happened to them exactly just is desserts.
R Russell says
I don’t think this will have much effect on those in the ‘west’.
They see this happening far, far away. Too far away to be bothered by it. Then someone will drive a car over dozens of white people and the reality will affect them long enough until the government tells them it was a mentally ill man and nothing to do with Islam.
All will calm down until the next time when it will start all over again.
Human nature is so predictable.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Wait until a truck bomb of this size lights up in downtown America, France, UK or Canada.
It’s only a matter of time the way things are going.
God help us.

Unfortunately, 3000 people lying dead in NYC, DC, and Penn. didn’t get the reality of violent Jihad across.
Terry Gain says
Exactly. The rational response to the 9/11 atrocities would have been an immediate ban on Muslims. Instead we’ve waasted blood and treasure on this evil ideology, which we ought not to allow in our midst.
gravenimage says
Grimly true, Karen.
It sure woke me up–I had been increasingly disturbed over plane hijackings, suicide bombings, and attacks like the Cole–but it was 9/11 that led me to begin studying Islam.
I have been amazed ever since that so few in the West considered this a wake-up call.

Karen says: “Unfortunately, 3000 people lying dead in NYC, DC, and Penn. didn’t get the reality of violent Jihad across.”
Ya and then this violent Jihad went on to kill 1,500.000 more in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Mali, India, Bangladesh, Tunisia, Libya, Nigeria, Indonesia, Russia, China, France, Belgium, England, Germany, Israel, Egypt, etc, etc, etc……………………..
Rick says
….and it’s business as usual with the Saudis. Karen, never let America forget.
LeftisruiningCanada says
The West didn’t stage the 9/11 attacks to make muslims look bad, Chand.
They are plenty good enough at that all by themselves.
LeftisruiningCanada says
re-reading what you said, i now don’t think you meant that.
But, couldn’t we say that it’s all the same jihad that mohammad started…..it waxes and wains, but it never really stops…..
gravenimage says
LeftisruiningCanada, I think Chand may have actually said something critical of Jihad here.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Yeah, that’s what you get when trying to reply when you’re in a hurry and skim reading!
Sorry Chand!
Berengaria says
The Enriching Somalis have more than a FootHold in America, they have invaded whole States in the NorthWest. Somalis’ “LegHold” over Idaho & Minnesota State & Local Government has been Swift & Brutal. Very little News of Somali Crime is ever reported, much less Solved by the Integrated Police Departments.
America is slipping away, State by State & Whole Sections of Our Nation have become Virtual No Go Zones.
Rick says
This is the best and brightest from that rich exciting Somalian culture.
Ray Jarman says
This should further enlighten the leftwing communists running many European nations and those sitting in opposition to those who care such as the Democommunisti in the US that the cult not only kills non-muslims but their own cult members. Most of those slaughtered were people just trying to eke out a living and feed their families. I am waiting for this to occur in Mecca or Riyadh or some other major city in the Arab world and then maybe everyone’s eyes will be opened to this horrible cult called islam.
JawsV says
Muslims killing Muslims? I couldn’t care less.
gravenimage says
They do just the same thing to us, though, Jaws.
JawsV says
Right. I care about us, Jews and Christians, the “Infidels.” I detest Muslims. And Islam. The less the better.
gravenimage says
Thanks for the reply, Jaws.
JawsV says
You’re welcome, graven.

That murderous jihad truck bombing attack in Mogadishu further exposes the violent and deadly nature of Islam. Many times the jihadist members of different Islamic terror entities, as those of ISIS, have gathered together and chanted the words “We love death, they love life.” Likewise those jihadist/Muslims don’t stop with those awful words; they carry through with jihad suicide/homicide attacks. Any sane person would ask “Why do those jihad –minded Muslims have such a mindset of murderous madness?” The answer is that they obtain the way of thinking and believing from the “holy book” of Islam, the Koran. As some people call it the Qu ‘ran. For example the Koran in Sura 9:111 instructs “The believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain, they kill and are killed.” Therefore it may be conclude that Islam is actually a death cult. In great and wonderful contrast to the death cult which is Islam there is Christianity which is centered on Jesus and His teachings. For Jesus did not teach killing and death but taught and gave life, a good peaceful well lived life and more. For example Jesus declared “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” John 10:10. [K.J.V.]

Final report: October Mogadishu jihad truck bombing is third deadliest terror attack in modern history
……………..
And yet, there are virtually no Infidels in Somalia. This is what the “peace of Islam” looks like…
