“Islamist group al Shabaab frequently carries out bombings in Somalia and elsewhere as part of its campaign to topple the African country’s central government and establish its own rule based on its interpretation of sharia law.”
The UK’s Daily Mail doesn’t even have any competition in being the absolute worst paper in the Western world. With the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Guardian, the Independent, etc., anyone with any sense knows they’re purveying leftist propaganda and whitewashing the global jihad, among other things. With the Mail, however, you get relatively accurate coverage of jihad activity, and so you might be fooled into thinking that the paper actually opposes such activity. You’d be wrong, as the coverage of jihad violence is combined with vicious smears of foes of jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women, and uncritical repetition, as here, of propaganda falsehoods about Islam, jihad, and Sharia. How is al-Shabaab’s “interpretation of sharia law” different from that of Sharia states such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan? It isn’t. Not in any way. But the clueless Daily Mail Useful Idiots believe, and want you to believe, that Al Shabaab represents a violent misinterpretation of Islam, a hijacking of the peaceful religion. In doing this, the Daily Mail continues to foster complacency regarding the jihad threat. This is a crime on their part, and will not, unfortunately, be a victimless crime.
Meanwhile, as for suicide bombing, which the Daily Mail will doubtless tell you is un-Islamic, consider this: “Allah has bought from the believers their selves and their possessions against the gift of Paradise; they fight in the way of Allah; they kill, and are killed; that is a promise binding upon Allah in the Torah, and the Gospel, and the Koran; and who fulfils his covenant truer than Allah? So rejoice in the bargain you have made with Him; that is the mighty triumph.” (Qur’an 9:111)
“At least 20 people killed and 30 wounded in Somalia as Islamist terrorists detonate rickshaw loaded with explosives outside a popular restaurant in the capital Mogadishu,” by Jack Wright, MailOnline, March 5, 2021:
At least 20 people were killed and 30 wounded in a suicide bombing outside a restaurant near the port in Somalia’s capital Mogadishu late on Friday, emergency services said.
Somalian police said a three-wheeler rickshaw, fitted to carry a load on the back, had been packed with explosives when it hit the popular Luul Yemeni restaurant at dinner time.
Witnesses and state-owned media said the blast sent plumes of smoke into the sky and triggered gunfire, while at least one building near the restaurant collapsed, with people feared to be trapped in the rubble. The blast occurred at dinner time when the restaurant was full.
The attack was claimed by the Al-Qaeda-linked Al-Shabaab terror group, which has been waging a long and violent insurgency seeking to unseat the internationally-backed government in Mogadishu.
Security in Mogadishu had been especially heavy, with thousands of government forces deployed in anticipation of a planned demonstration on Saturday by an alliance of opposition leaders over the country’s delayed national election. The demonstration was later postponed.
Dr Abdulkadir Aden, founder of AAMIN Ambulance services told Reuters: ‘So far we have carried 20 dead people and 30 injured from the blast scene.’…

Those deluded jihadist suicide/homicide Muslims terrorists, who was also called a mujahedeen, The are very dangerous and delusional because they are under the spell of Islamic deception, so much so, that those jihadists actually view their murderous attacks as “martyrdom operations.” This is because they firmly believe that they will have a paradise, for themselves, after they die in a jihad attack. This is how strong the influence of the deceptive power of the false religion of Islam can be.
This delusional madness which results in death and destruction is, somewhat, explained in the following quotation by a Christian author. “Muslims killed while waging jihad are often honored as martyrs. Also, the prophet Muhammad said that they would be guaranteed passage to paradise. Narrated Abu Huraira in Hadith 9:549:
‘Allah’s Apostle said “Allah guarantees to the person who carries out jihad or His Cause and nothing compelled him to go out but the jihad for His Cause and belief in His Words, that he will either admit him into paradise or return him with the reward or the bounty he has earned to his residence from where he came out.’ [1]
As for the first part of this above quote about a “guarantee’’ of entering into a paradise for a Muslim who dies fighting in the jihad is a falsehood and false doctrine of a “guarantee “. Which a both tragic and sad for many reasons as well as bogus way of God. For Jesus taught not the above but clearly did teach that He is the genuine and only way to heaven. For example, John 14:6 gives the very words of Jesus Which are “I am the way ,the truth, and the life: no one comes to the Father ,but by Me.”

What was predicted in the first century AD in the New Testament of the Bible had been fulfilled in the seventh century with Islam. Its false promise of a paradise with many virgins for the jihadist who dis fighting for the cause of Islam.
To put it more precisely this cleverly devised story of the virgins in a paradise taught by the imams was predicted in 2 Timothy 4: 3, 4. which reads “For the time is coming when [people] will not tolerate {endure} sound and wholesome instruction, but having ears itching [for something pleasing and gratifying], they will gather to themselves one teacher after another to a considerable number, chosen to satisfy their own liking and to foster the errors they hold, and will turn aside from hearing the truth and wander off into myths and man – made fictions.” Furthermore, the man who presented the book into the world that teaches the lie of the mansions with 72 virgins is in reality just one of the “many false prophets [that] have gone forth in the world.” 1 John 4:1. And also has its own false message, false angle and is accursed by God. – Galatians 1 : 6 – 9.

Another case of Muslim on Muslim racism.

The curious thing about “their interpretation” of Sharia is that it ends up as “exactly what this book says”.
