Somalia: Muslims murder at least 73 with car bomb during rush hour in Mogadishu

Dec 28, 2019 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Another glimpse into the future of the West.

“Somalia car bomb attack: At least 73 dead in blast during rush hour in Mogadishu,” AAP, December 28, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

A car bomb has exploded at a busy security checkpoint in Somalia’s capital, killing at least 73 people.

It was one of the deadliest attacks in Mogadishu in recent memory, and witnesses said its force reminded them of the devastating 2017 bombing that killed hundreds of people.

The toll could rise as scores of people were rushed on Saturday to hospitals, government spokesman Ismail Mukhtar told The Associated Press….

Most of those killed were university and other students returning to class, Mayor Omar Mohamud Mohamed said at the scene. Police said two Turkish nationals were dead.

Captain Mohamed Hussein said the blast targeted a tax collection centre during the morning rush hour as Somalia returned to work after its weekend. A large black plume of smoke rose above the capital….

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the blast. The al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabab often carries out such attacks. The extremist group was pushed out of Mogadishu several years ago but continues to target high-profile areas such as checkpoints and hotels in the seaside city….

    I believe that if there governments of Kenya, Somalia and Ethiopia really had the courage to eliminate this scum, they have the military ability to do so. It would mean employing the methods used against the Nazis during WWII where the allies used air power to bomb the hell out of Dresden and other targets. In the north of Somalia the villagers provide assistance and certainly the satellite coverage is capable of identifying where these slugs exist. It is time that government in Mogadishu stands up to this plight.

    One other point is, where is the out cry from the likes of Omar and her merry band of communists?

      Oh, Ilhan Omar put out a boilerplate Tweet against “terrorism”, but that’s about it:

      “This is a horror! My heart aches for those who lost their lives, their families and the entire Somali community.

      The fight against terrorism is a collective one and we must all commit ourselves to it.

      We also must not let those who spread violence and terror defeat our spirit.”

      No mention of Islam, of course.

        No mention of Islam (or Moslems) in the BBC report, either.

    This slaughter of by-standers is what Djokhar Tsarnaev referred to as ‘collateral damage’ … even if the by-standers were the ones who were targeted specifically by the Muslim terrorists.

    Muslims should take a good look at the terror doctrine contained in the Koran, hadiths, Sira and Sharia law codes.

    Do Muslims want to remain in a cult that promotes such terrorism as this? Haven’t Muslims the courage to admit to themselves that Islam is not suitable for the global village?

    If you can’t support Islamic terrorism, dear Muslims, you cannot be a believing Muslim. You can’t pick and choose the type of benign Islam that you may prefer. It doesn’t exist.

      The Muslims are caught in a 7th century time warp.

    Why not send Ilhan there to negotiate a peace deal b/w the ‘government’ (to the extent it exists) and al Shabab?

      Is His Excellency the President of Somalia still referred to as, qyote, the Mayor of Mogadishu? Well at east the evil bastards will be easy to find there, wont they?

    Often I read here about such incidents happening in the Third World and I think we westerners have let these innocent humans down, giving them norminal independence and scuttling out, leaving them defenceless. In this particular sh*t hole, however, its not so. Remember,, we tried to feed them in their time of famine and they still hate us for it. Well, enjoy your Muslim utopia Somalis, and dont send us any more politicians either.

    We have the biggest Somali population in America in “Little Mogadishu” . I hope we never see this kind of terrorism as a result.

      You will, only it might be a bit. The mall stabbings in MOA and Crossroads only served to wake more people up to the threat, right now they don’t want that…

      As you know, the Islamists are winning. Minnesota is being won via stealth, infiltrators in the counter jihad movement and the willful blindness of the ‘minnesota nice’ population siding with the leftists.

      Attacks will happen. Minnesota, home to the largest population of Somalis, outside of Somalia, will continue to be fertile ground for Al Shabab and the like.

    ……………….

    The number is now almost 80.

    God, I hate Islam.

    O my goodness! We must let more of these people into our countries to protect them from this terrorism. Let’s take that guy with the AK-47 clip, and that guy with the unexploded suicide belt, and that guy with the cellphone, and those 200 guys shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’.

    more proof that we have no business being around the world as peacekeepers. Civil wars are bound to occur and someone will win. We don’t need to make a choice between them. And we need to be very wary about trying to fit the losers as refugees into our culture. Suppose the choice is between Indonesian jihadis and island cannibals???? Where does our guilt at living in a relatively stable part of the world end in favor of our own culture and the American ethos.
