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

Kenya: Muslims murder two non-Muslims for failing to recite the Qur’an

Sep 15, 2018 3:13 pm By Robert Spencer

“There were three non-locals who were ordered to recite the Shahada. One had lived with locals all his life so he was able to read and was freed.”

The Shahada is the first chapter and most common prayer of the Qur’an. This is reminiscent of other incidents, including when the Muslim in Minnesota who asked mall shoppers if they were Muslim and then stabbed non-Muslims. In Mali, Muslims screaming “Allahu akbar” took hostages, freeing those who could recite the Qur’an. In September 2013 at Nairobi’s Westgate Mall, Muslims murdered people who couldn’t answer questions about Islam. In June 2014, Muslims murdered people who could not pass an Islam quiz. In November 2014, Muslims murdered 28 non-Muslims who couldn’t recite Qur’an verses. In April 2015, Muslims screaming “Allahu akbar” stormed Garissa University College, and only shot those who couldn’t recite Qur’an. In a Bangladesh restaurant in July 2016, the jihadis spared those who could recite from the Qur’an. In July 2017 in Kenya, Muslims asked Christians to “recite Islamic dogmas” and murdered them when they couldn’t do so. In May 2018 in Belgium, a Muslim who murdered four people told a hostage that he wouldn’t harm her since she was Muslim and was observing the Ramadan fast.

“Al-Shabaab militia kill two non-Muslims in Garissa for failing to recite Quran,” by Asher Omondi, Tuko, September 14, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Security has been heightened in Garisa [sic] county after suspected eight al-Shabaab militants ambushed a bus in Garissa county on the morning of Friday, September 14, killing two non-Muslims on the spot.

The passenger bus owned by Kilas Company was heading from the border town of Hulugho when the attackers waylaid it between Ijara and Sangailu ordering its occupants to alight.

The Swahili speaking assailants who were armed with AK 47 rifles emerged from a thicket and ordered everyone to produce identity cards to enable them easily pick their targets, Daily Nation reported.

It is after the two victims failed to recite a Quran verse that they were shot dead.

The deceased were the bus mechanic and a passenger, a casual labourer on transit to Masalani town.

“There were three non-locals who were ordered to recite the Shahada. One had lived with locals all his life so he was able to read and was freed,” said one passenger.

Following the incident, Garissa Governor Ali Korane condemned the attack calling for religious unity and end to schism for the sake of peace among local residents.

“They want to wage war on grounds of faith and ethnicity. We will not allow this. Kenyans from other parts of the country will be part and parcel of our communities. No one will divide us,” said Korane….

    Don’t you mean al Fatiha????

      Must be an accidental error. The shahada is a one sentence declaration of belief in allah and muhammad.m

      True.

      Shahada is declaration of faith. By just reciting Shahada you become a Muslim.

    I guess we should all just be thankful that America’s public school 10th grade World History teachers (at this point) only offer students extra credit points to students who will recite the Quran’s Shahada prayer out loud from their desk in class. At some point the carrot will be replaced with the stick.

      Thank You to Old Fat Bald Socially Inept Ron. I was just thinking that our So-Called “Public, Unionized School System” is hard at work teaching the future Subjects of an Islamist America,
      to recite useful passages from the Koran.
      Since the Criteria for staying alive in the West, resides in one’s ability to recite the Bloody Koran, our “Educators” are determined to prove themselves worthy of the Muslims & Muslim Sympathizers, who appear to be the ones dictating our School Curriculum.
      I do believe the “STICK”will soon be approved for use in our Schools, just like the ones in usage at the Madrassas.
      The Old Koran appears to be the NEW FOCUS in our Re-Education Camps, aka Schools.

    A similar attack was carried out on 26 th November 2008 when Muslim terrorists stormed well known hotels in Mumbai India which were ivonic landmarks. 164 people were murdered in cold blood.

    The way the terroridt picked out their victims were by asking them to recite the Islsmic prayer , the shahada. Those who failed to recite it were shot on the spot. Once thr hostages were identified as muslims they were set free by the Islsmic terrorists.

    A UK Labour MP Khalid Mahmoid was at one of the hotels at the time. He was set free and unharmed by the muslim terrorists since he was able to prove he was muslim

      Yes–Jihadists also did this at the Westgate Mall attack in Kenya, and have also done it in Israel.

    This what they did to my cousin who is non-Muslim at Westgate Mall in Nairobi;; ay gun point they asked him to recite Islamic/Muslim Shahada, he failed to recite, and they killed him at point blank on the spot.

    Muslim are not human, and Islam is not the religion.

    • gravenimage says

      Sep 15, 2018 at 6:43 pm

      Pemba, I know you have cited that horror before. So sorry for your cousin.

      God, I hate Islam.

      • pemba says

        Sep 15, 2018 at 10:26 pm

        Thanks,
        believe me it hard to forget,
        in case a person pass away due old age, sickness, or auto accident, we take it as natural cause,
        but to die for stupid shahada is unacceptable.cause.

        • gravenimage says

          Sep 15, 2018 at 10:44 pm

          You and your cousin are in my prayers, Pemba. So horrible.

    “There were three non-locals who were ordered to recite the Shahada. One had lived with locals all his life so he was able to read and was freed.”

    One thing that I detest about this sort of statement is that it depicts the escape as something good. Now, wait… I don’t mean that it’s not good to escape these situations. But, at what cost? They always make it sound like “oh, he knew it, so that saved his life” or something to that effect. The problem with this is the following. Take me. Even if I knew it, I could never and would never and should never and WILL NEVER recite something like that, because that would be denying my faith as a Christian. Yes, it really is that simple. And that is what it all comes down to. Are you willing to confess Jesus before men publicly, or will you deny Him in order to ‘escape’ with your life? He never said it would be a comfortable situation and setting, obviously. So the choice comes down to: Confess Jesus before men if you are a Christian; no matter what, yes you may die but you will gain your soul….. or…. deny Jesus before men, gain your physical life, but lose your soul. So the one who ‘escaped’ did not do so with his soul intact, but only his earthly life. Very misleading to make that sound like something ‘good’. The one who died the martyr was the one who got ‘the better deal,’ and that by FAR. So to confess Jesus even if it means death, is the truly good thing, but to deny Jesus and survive with your earthly life is truly the bad thing in this situation! Yes, you can repent, but it better NEVER happen again! Peter denied the Lord and he had to be reinstated by the Lord after the resurrection and was not referred to as a disciple after the denial until he was reinstated. It’s not a game. I go by the words of the Lord and not the words of man. Matthew 10; 32-33, 38-39, 16; 25, Luke 9; 24-26

    “…Anyone who does not take up his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life FOR MY SAKE will find it.” Matthew 10; 38-39

    If you claim to be a Christian but have the wrong perspective on this (of the flesh but not the Spirit), this is the time to correct that. I’m just saying this for all believers in general and some may be eternally grateful.

      Exactly Sista. The Globalist are pushing to make Islam the Forced religion of their Satanic Beast’s NWO! It will not be long before you will be given a choice to recite the Shahada and Renounce Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and Take the Mark of da Beast or be beheaded. I pray I will have the strength to recite to G-d, the Apostles creed in their face when the time comes.

      Lydia, your comment is about as silly as reciting the passages demanded by the jihadists. Tell us again what cause are you prepared to die for. People who are prepared to die for a religious belief of any persuasion are all tarred with the same brush in my opinion. If I remember correctly isn’t it a christian teaching that all one has to do, even while drawing one’s last breath is “repent” to be “saved”.

    Kenya: Muslims murder two non-Muslims for failing to recite the Qur’an
    ……………………..

    These *poor people*.

    How many times have we seen Jihadists use such tests to weed out Infidels and lax Muslims to murder?

  7. FYI says

    Sep 15, 2018 at 6:18 pm

    Here’s a test for the muslim;-

    1.”Slay the unbeliever wherever you find them” koran 2:191

    OR
    2.”I am the Lord thy God…thou shalt NOT kill” Sixth commandment.

    what is the right moral choice?

    1 follow allah the deceiver god and commit murder{Do Evil}
    OR
    2 Obey God’s Commandments Exodus 20 and refrain from evil{Avoid Evil}

    Obviously, the moral choice is to OBEY the Commandment of God and ignore allah’s invitation to break it.

    Difficult choice for the muslim;impossible for the fanatic to even understand.

    moslems don’t understand that the immoral teachings of the koran are totally at odds with God’s moral teachings in the Bible{the Torah+Gospel}

    The moral imperative,as Jews and christians understand,and the WHOLE POINT of the Torah is to AVOID EVIL.That’s the WHOLE POINT of God’s commandments.

    Try explaining that to the muslim.

    BTW since allah claims to have written the Bible{koran 3;3} and since allah tells muhammed to READ the Bible{“the scripture that was before thee”} for reference if in doubt,in Koran 10:94……..muslims might make the effort to discover those essential laws of God enumerated in Exodus 20:1-17{not listed of course -unhelpfully- and conveniently missing in the koran!!}It would appear that muhammed didn’t know them but then….he couldn’t read{koran 7:157}…..as allah seems to have missed…

    “WE shall make thee read o muhammed so that shalt not forget”
    koran 87 v 6

    Ignorance of God’s Commandments is no excuse for the murderous muslims with their displays of false piety….and to the extent that,despite their religious devotions,they do NOT OBEY God’s official Laws they are worse than Godless barbarians.

    Those religious fascists are only doing what their leader Muhammed has told them to do.

    Quran 2:256
    there is no compulsion in religion.

    • Sobieski says

      Sep 16, 2018 at 8:29 am

      Too bad that such verse was abrogated after Muhammad moved from Mecca to Medina and gained military strength.

    At the end of the story there was, “No one will divide us”. Then Islam fails.

  11. Hari Singh says

    Reciting the shahada makes one a Muslim according to Muslim law, the Shariat. This was an attempt at forced conversion.

  12. Old Fat Bald Socially Inept Ron says

    Sep 16, 2018 at 2:45 pm

    Believe it or not, the Shahada prayer along with the other four pillars of Islam are and have been compulsory learning for many years nationwide in American public schools.
    When we complained to the superintendent of schools back in 2014 we were told that these Islamic tenets are mandated curriculum and to have them removed we would need to have the DOE’s “State standards and benchmarks” changed.
    Anyone who believes that prayer has long been removed and is absent from public schools, or thinks putting prayer back into public schools would be a step in the right direction, you need to understand that prayer, specifically the Islamic prayer of conversion called the Shahada, sometimes called the Islamic “profession of faith” has been a resident in classrooms, textbooks, and required curriculum since 2008.
    Although the religious tenets of Islam are forced public school learning, the horrific historical factual truth of Islam are not.
    I no longer blame Islam, I blame us.
