Of course they prayed first, because they were about to embark upon a jihad. They believed that what they were about to do was a holy act, for which Allah would reward them. Yet the Western establishment media is still filled with nonsense such as this, which claims that jihad terrorists are not really motivated by religion — and people believe it, because they want to believe it, the implications of the alternative being too much for them to face.
An update on this story. “Mosque attackers ‘prayed first’ then attacked,” News24.com, May 14, 2018:
First they prayed, and then they wanted to kill…
That’s according to Ali Nchiyane, the imam of the Imam Hussain Mosque in Verulam, KwaZulu-Natal, who survived an attack on worshippers on Thursday afternoon.
One person died, while two others – including Nchiyane – were left seriously injured after three men targeted the mosque, setting it alight….

Religion of Peace – Business as usual.

I have been in the receiving end of their prayers in Iraq. They do not go to prayer and then think about slaughter of others. They go to prayer with the intent of begging allah to help them kill as many people as possible. I know of no religion where people request a supreme entity to help kill others and therefore, no one should refer to islam as anything other Muhammad’s cult as no one has referred to Jim Jones’ cult a religion.

Sunni Islam is the religion that formally expects it’s followers to hate more people than any other religion or sect. But whichever variety a Muslim follows all were born amidst the violence that quickly became the hallmark of Islam. The constant conquering, the Sunni-Shia split, the “apostasy” wars. When Muslims organize bad things follow. Even zakat is corrupted. It would all be a big “who cares” if so many Muslims didn’t feel obligated to stick their noses into everybody else’s life. But Islamists have forced everyone to not only pay attention but also to take a side.
The Sunni Muslims already have their shit list in place; from most shitty to least: Shia, Jews, atheists, polytheists (which includes Christianity since they pray to Jesus, Mary, the Holy Spirit, Saints, etc), everybody else not covered by the above including many Sunni Muslims with aberrant beliefs. The history of Islam is not tragic, it’s just a sickening burden that humanity has been forced to shoulder – or defend if you’re a blind, leftist moron.

Local news papers report that the mosque that was attacked was Shi’a and that one of the victims said that the attackers were Egyptians. The police refused to comment to the reporters. As I have said before, these people are well entrenched and organised in South Africa. They are gaining local political power in various centers and are already in strategic posts in the police. The unbridled corruption in the current government is playing into their hands. But most South Africans do not see this threat – hence the South African vote to send ‘war crime’ investigators to Gaza to probe imagined Israeli criminal acts as they defend themselves against invading hordes paid by Hamas and its blood thirsty financial backers.

……………………..
Of course these pious Muslims prayed before murdering their victims.
