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

Kenya: Muslims murder two Christians when they could not say the Shahada, the Islamic profession of faith

Feb 21, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

The Shahada is the first chapter and most common prayer of the Qur’an. This is reminiscent of other incidents, including when a Muslim in Minnesota in September 2016 asked mall shoppers if they were Muslim and then stabbed non-Muslims. In the Philippines in February 2019, Muslims murdered a man for failing to recite Qur’an verses, while releasing six others who could recite them. In Mali in November 2015, 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. In September 2018 in Kenya, Muslims murdered two non-Muslims for failing to recite the Qur’an. And also in Kenya in December 2019, Muslims murdered at least nine Christians for failing to recite the Islamic profession of faith.

“Two Christians Murdered in Kenya Bus Attack,” International Christian Concern, February 20, 2020:

02/20/2020 Washington, D.C. (International Christian Concern) – International Christian Concern (ICC) has learned that three people were killed yesterday and two others were injured when suspected al-Shabaab militants laid siege to a passenger bus traveling from Mandera to Nairobi, Kenya. During the attack, two Christians, Peter Kilonzo Musili and Kevin Onyango, were executed when they could not say the Shahada, the Islamic statement of faith. A Muslim man, Abdi Abinoor, was also killed while trying to protect the Christians from the attackers who were separating out non-Muslim passengers.

Confirming the incident, a security officer based in northeastern Kenya told ICC, “The incident happened on the morning of February 19 at Banisa, Mandera County, where a group of armed al-Shabaab members ambushed a bus ferrying 47 passengers to Nairobi. They sprayed it with bullets and deflated the tires in order to halt it and pick Christians from the bus. The efforts of the driver to escape from their trap did not bear fruit. He was also injured during the attack. Three people were killed and two others injured.”…

An evangelist based in Mandera said that the recent attack is a continuation of what has become normal in Mandera. “We are seeing a return of planned violent attacks against Christians in northeastern Kenya and the coastal region. Hostility against Christians has been escalating in Mandera at an alarming rate and is being carried out by al-Shabaab members. They target public service vehicles, where they separate Christians from Muslims and execute them. If not vehicles, they attack residential places and kill non-local Christian people,” he explained. “We are, however, proud of the few courageous Muslims who stand up and defend Christians. In this bus attack, one of them was killed for trying to stop the gunmen from shooting the Christians who were not able to say the Islamic prayer.”…

Nathan Johnson, ICC’s Regional Manager for Africa, said, “Buses in Kenya have become one of the main targets for al-Shabaab. There have already been at least four similar attacks this year alone. In each one, Christian passengers are separated from those who are Muslim. They are then slaughtered like animals. What is encouraging to see is that there have also been a number of brave Muslims who have continued to try and protect the Christians. Those who do this must be lifted up as heroes. I am sad that Mr. Abinoor was killed, but he is a hero for trying to save others’ lives, and he needs to be applauded as such.”

    It’s very obvious the Islam terribly lacks fact base augments based on logic and reason support it . So followers of Islam resort to brutal deadly force to proselytize Islam .

    Therefore the murder of those two Christians is still further proof of the truth of this above statement Such murdered Christians by Muslims is tragically not limited to Kenya but is repeated again and again in other countries in the “world of Islam.”

    . Nevertheless, those s murderous Muslims who kill Christians will not ,at all, get away with their deadly Islamic violence. All their vicious violent action will come back down on the min the end For as is the saying “what goes around comes around” The reason that we may be sure that this saying is true is because it’s upheld in the Bible . As explained in the below message.

    Those violent and vicious jihad –minded Muslims in their murderous persecution of Christians aren’t really going to get away with their destruction of Christians. As the apostle Paul had written each individual Christian is actually, in the View of God, a temple of God. For to Christians, it is written in the Bible “Don’t you know that that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? If anyone destroys God’s Temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.” First Corinthians 3:16,17. [N.I.V.] As in “A man reaps what he sows.” Galatians 6:7.

    that shahada..

    There is no god but allah..{“the greatest of deceivers” k3:54} and muhammed… {“I have fabricated things against God and attributed to him things he has not said” al tabari 6;111}…is his “prophet”

    allah admits to being a champion deceiver and muhammed admits to being a false prophet.

    If allah the Arab god of islam
    admits to being a champion at deceiving people {koran 3:54} and has as his enemy a MAN called Malik al Amlak,{“the king of kings”}(Sahih muslim vol 5 hadith 5611}
    and if allah teaches a Doctrine of HATE{al walaa wal baraa},allah is in opposition to Jesus Christ and represents evil.

    allah’s ‘holy’ book does not conform to the 2 chief commandments of God and gives freedom to break the exodus 20 laws.Instead of love you have hate.

    Revised shuhada{ver.2}

    “There is no god allah: that is just muhammed’s sock puppet”

    As for muhammed being a “prophet”:muhammed doesn’t come from the Children of Israel,a necessary requirement for being a prophet according to allah’s own criterion of koran 45:16.He also famously failed the Poison Test which means he was murdered.
    muhammed{pbuh,actual Prophecy be unknown to him} a mass murderer of Jews{Abu dawud 4390} was interestingly enough killed by …a Jewish woman.

    What did YHWH say happens to those who are FALSE prophets?

    Didn’t muhammed preach a FALSE god {al lah,an arab god,evolved out of hubaal the god of the kaaba}?

    “But if any prophet dares to speak a message in My name when I didn’t command
    him to do so,he must DIE FOR IT and so must any prophet who speaks in the name of OTHER gods”
    Deuteronomy 18 v 20

    So muhammed who admitted to being a FALSE prophet{al tabari 6:111} and who laughably does not even satisfy allah’s OWN criterion of entitlement to the Prophethood{koran 45:16]{i.e being from the Children of Israel:muhammed was not from the Children of Israel},a “prophet” who mass-murdered Jews,people from the Children of God{YHWH’s chosen people remember}

    Look at muhammed’s last days and the Poison Test fail:muhammed,knowing the food was poisoned thought allah would protect him so what did the genius do?He went ahead and ate it and subsequently DIED. thus proving himself to be a false prophet and a moron.

    It seems muhammed’s Arab god al Lah didn’t save him from YHWH the Real Deal.

    Checking Amazon for a sale on prayer rugs. Nope. But they do sell prayer rugs. Also, looking for ear plugs so I won’t have to hear the Adhan at 4 AM. Also, stocking up on food because Ramadan is coming, and you can be accused of a hate crime if you eat near a person who is fasting. Already got rid of all my Nike gear because of the “Arabic” words in their logo.

    Looking for a class in Arabic.

    Thus ends the preview of the future under our new overlords.

    Its Africa, just send more money. Have another song sung by all the latest singers. Done, fixed.

    Didn’t it work last time?
    From the picture, looks like quite the tourist trap. I bet the food is great.

    True Christians CANNOT recite the shahada, per Jesus’ instructions.
    (Whether they could or not by knowing what it says.)
    It would be denying your faith.
    Matthew 10; 32-33
    And no, you don’t get a free pass if your life is threatened.
    Matthew 16; 25
    Luke 17; 33

      I could easily recite the shahada simply because it has been absorbed into my memory through listening to so much teaching against Islam. I hope and pray that, faced with imminent death by a knife-or gun-wielding Muslim I would have the courage to declare my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, but none of us knows how we will react until faced with death and I would never ever be so blithe as to condemn or criticize a brother or sister who chose to save their life in such a moment. A great difference between our God and the satanic false deity of Islam is that our Lord is most wonderfully kind and forgiving of the weakness of His children.

    The jealousy by this group of inbred, pedo losers is a disease. Notice they only attack groups that are unarmed or when Christians are usually lone. When American security forces are present they do 000. they stick to raping children or donkeys.
    The day Christians decide to return the favor it will be devastating for them. Hence the True effect. not 1 major attack and the players are on the run as he targets few. Should Trump all the trigger North Frica ad Middle East will be a pilaf sand.
