Somalia: Muslims murder five, injure nearly 30 in jihad bombing at beachfront hotel

Aug 18, 2020 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

“Make ready for them whatever force and strings of horses you can, to strike terror into the enemy of Allah and your enemy, and others besides them that you know not; Allah knows them. And whatever you spend in the way of Allah shall be repaid you in full; you will not be wronged.” (Qur’an 8:60)

“Militants Attack Beachfront Hotel in Somali Capital,” by Harun Maruf, VOA News, August 16, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Militants have carried out an attack on a beachfront hotel in the Somali capital Mogadishu on Sunday, killing at least five people and injuring nearly 30 others, officials said.

Officials and witnesses told VOA Somali that a car bomb exploded outside Elite hotel at Mogadishu’s Lido Beach. Moments later armed gunmen stormed the hotel.

Security forces have arrived the scene and are battling the militates [sic] holed up inside.

Al-Shabab has claimed responsibility for the attack….

Abdirazak Aden Osman, a security guard at a nearby hotel, said he heard a huge explosion which rocked the area.

“It was a massive explosion,” he said. “Glass from broken windows fell on us.”…

    Any terrorist survivors should be strapped to the end of a cannon and be done away with. Enough of this carnage. Send them off this planet like they did their victims of Islam.

        The US has nothing to do with Somalia at this point–his pious coreligionists drove us out twenty-five years ago when we were trying to bring them aid.

        Does he actually have a problem with Jihad terror? Not so he says…

        Not just the US the world is funding terrorism via the U.N.

      “Terrorists”? You talk as if there’s only a few dozen of them. Try the entire islamic population. Are you going to strap all of them onto cannons? There aren’t that many cannons in the world.

    This must make one certain someone so proud. Will she have the gall to say so in public? Will she “tweet ” it or just grin her snake smirk all the way to Congress?

      The most depressing thing is that your ‘certain someone’ is there, in Congress, at all. That there are enough Somalis in the country to give her enough votes as a basis. That there are enough despicable white Christian Democrat voters who added to that basis to vote her into Congress despite her vicious, unacceptable, anti-Jewish, anti-American views. That she was ever allowed into the country and given citizenship in the first place.

        And on top of all of that, she gets paid to say what she “thinks” and the money to pay her salary comes from the pockets of all…even those who see what a vile liar she is, and disagree with all of her “opinions.”

        Remember that through her lies she convinced Jewish voters in her district to support her, as well. Hopefully, by this time around, they will have seen through her charade.

    Sounds like typical weekend casualty rates in Chicago and New York except it happens every weekend in the US and has no religious motivation. However the Quranic idea of “booty” seems to have been readily adopted. Could the adoption of Islam be far away? The Nation Of Islam version?

    Will Omar vacation in Samolia to show how living there is safe and peaceful for a righteous Muslima? It would be such a great opportunity to contrast why someone, considering Somalia and the US, would prefer one over the other.
