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

Kenya: Muslims storm school, murder Christian teachers

Oct 17, 2018 6:46 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Over 20 suspected Al Shabaab jihadis in Mandera County (on Kenya’s border with Somalia) stormed into a housing complex “where non-local teachers live” and detonated a bomb, which instantly killed two Christian teachers. Two other Christian teachers managed to escape.

Jihadists have routinely terrorized local churches and schools where Christian teachers are found.

The world has become habituated to the murder of Christians by jihadists. It is not a topic that grabs headlines; the media and even mainstream human rights organizations care more about “Islamophobia” charges than they do the blood of Christians and other minorities.

It has become the norm that while jihadists murder wantonly, criticism of Islamic doctrine, which sanctions the murder of infidels, apostates, and gays, must be opposed.

The non-local teachers were members of the Catholic Church and the East Africa Pentecostal Church….Kenya ranked 32nd on Christian support organization Open Doors’ 2018 World Watch List of the 50 countries where it is most difficult to be a Christian.

“Fear Grips Churches in Northeastern Kenya as Muslim Extremists Kill Two Christian Teachers,” Morning Star News, October 15, 2018:

NAIROBI, Kenya, October 15, 2018 (Morning Star News) – Islamic extremists suspected to be Al Shabaab militants on Wednesday at 1 a.m. (Oct. 10) killed two Christians in northern Kenya, sources said.

In Mandera East, in Mandera County on Kenya’s border with Somalia, more than 20 suspected Somali Al Shabaab rebels detonated an Improvised Explosive Device at the block housing where non-local teachers live, instantly killing two teachers. In an area with many Muslims of Somali descent, militants assume that Kenyans who come from the interior to work are Christians – which, in this case as in previous ones, was correct.

“The non-local teachers were members of the Catholic Church and the East Africa Pentecostal Church,” an area source told Morning Star News, requesting their names be withheld as relatives have yet to be notified. “The attackers knew who to attack; they had a specific mission of targeting non-locals as they went straight to the house quarters of the four non-local teachers.”

One of the two non-local teachers who were able to flee the living quarters before the explosion notified a Morning Star News contact of the attack on the teachers’ quarters of the Arabia Boys Secondary School, Lafey Sub-County, two kilometers from the Somali border.

“But thank God two of us managed to escape,” the surviving teacher said, requesting anonymity. “They razed the house down with the hope that none of the non-local teachers survived.”

Area churches and schools have been shaken by previous attacks, and an area church leader said he has decided to leave until security is tightened.

“I am concerned for my church members and the future of the church in Mandera,” he said. “I know our presence meant a lot for the kingdom of God, but our hearts have been gripped with great fear.”…

      chistianblood has said that Jihad terror attacks are not really a problem, but that gay parades are. Good God.

      Meanwhile, even three years ago US counterterrorism aid to Kenya was massively increasing:

    Christian groups and Christian nations need to wake up, defend against moslems, and repatriate moslems back to the desert en masse. Any non-moslems who expect to survive this era with no weapons are certainly living on borrowed time.

    I wonder if filthy Pakistan PM Imran Khan is at all concerned for the feelings of the families of Christians slaughtered by orthodox muslims here and for the last 1400 years?

    Didn’t think so.

    Islam in all its subgroups, sects and forms will always be attacked and destroyed by all civilized nations. That’s just obvious. Why islam is allowed to exist and even thrive is beyond me.

      Muslims are running as Democrats for elected offices in the midterms. Pay attention to who you are voting for. Keith Ellison, a Muslim and Democrat is running for Attorney General in
      Minnesota.
      Islam is not compatible with our Constitution.

    Wherever there is Islam there is violence and killing. Almost wherever there is violence and killing there is violence.
