The bus hit an IED, and then the jihadis opened fire. If the perpetrators were any other group, this would be international news. As it is, you’ll likely only read about it here.
Why “Muslims” in the headline, rather than “insurgents” or “militants” or some such? Because they did this as a result of their adherence to Islamic texts and teachings. If they hadn’t been Muslims, they wouldn’t have done it.
“Thirteen Killed in Bus Bombing by Suspected Al-Shabaab Terrorists,” International Christian Concern, January 31, 2022:
01/31/2022 Washington D.C. (International Christian Concern) – Thirteen passengers were killed and others were severely injured on January 31 in northeastern Kenya after their public service vehicle ran over an improvised explosive device. According to a survivor, the attackers, suspected to be al-Shabaab militants, fired gunshots at the vehicle just before it drove over the bomb which had been planted on the road.
According to police, “The 7:00 a.m. attack happened about eight km from Mandera town when the passenger vehicle stepped on a concealed roadside bomb that detonated and blew the 18-seater coach apart. Then the group of around six terrorists followed up with gun attacks. Our patrol team responded immediately and [was] able to stop any further killings.”…
The Arabia-Mandera road, where the attack occurred, runs closely adjacent to the porous Kenya-Somalia border. This is often the site where al-Qaeda-allied al-Shabaab militants sneak into the country to carry out attacks on Christians and government officials. ICC’s partner in Mandera condemned the attack, calling on the government to reinstate passenger vehicle escorts in the county of Mandera.
He explained, “We are saddened to hear that the al-Shabaab fighters have hit us again. Since the new year, Mandera has been so peaceful until hearing the sound of a gunshot had almost been forgotten. We haven’t received the names of the victims, but whoever they are, we send our condolences. We are waiting for a detailed real report from the Mandera police commander.”
He added, “It is rare to have Christians traveling using the road where the terrorists attacked this morning due to security concerns, but still we condemn the heinous act, and ask the government to resume escorting vehicles plying risky roads in Mandera.”…

“Lay ambushes for them and go after them in every stratagem of war”.
Koran 9:5
Tariq Ramadan explains, “…the global message of Islam which is ‘Spread peace wherever you are’.”
Thus peace is spread.

Tariq Ramadan practising Taqiya and lying for Islam. Md. was pedophile warlord how can peace be a factor in his agenda?.’Kill the unbelievers were ever you find them’. Great message of peace.
Doomer says
Even in non-Muslim majority countries Muslims are arrogant to the point of killing. The jihadis want to scare them to accepting Islam. The good thing about Western civilization is its custom of self-evaluation.
I like PRAGER U videos,but sometimes Prager hasn’t seen all the details. He has a video titled “If You Live in Freedom, Thank the British Empire”
Several counter videos were produced BUT they didn’t get to the root.
1. Without a doubt, Britain’s great gift to the 13 colonies was DEMOCRACY and the 1689 BILL of RIGHTS.
2. However democracy there was like democracy in Athens,limited. In the 13 colonies the Bill of Rights and democracy were only for WHITES.
3. Prager doesn’t know that even the very religious PURITANS ( 20,000 settled Massachusetts between 1620-1641, after which emigration stopped, due to the English civil war, capital Boston ),
were guilty of it.Why?
Prager doesn’t say,but it was because they were CALVINISTS ( belief in PREDESTINATION: God decides ahead of time if you go to hell)
4. Truth is: the FIRST British colony to legalize slavery was BARBADOS in 1638.
Then it was the PURITANS who legalized slavery: yes, under governor JOHN WINTHROP ( a Puritan,governor of the Massachusetts colony 4 different times).
In 1641. Under him captured Indians were enslaved and exchanged for BLACK slaves from the Caribbean.
By 1675 Boston had 500 black slaves, by 1705 it was 2,000.
5. Winthrop is famous for a sermon where he says the Puritans of the colony were to be a CITY upon a HILL, meaning a LIGHT to the world. In the popular imagination people began thinking the settlers were PREDESTINED to bring a utopia, but more specifically the WHITE race was predestined to
occupy the new world of America. But a utopia that excluded NON-whites ( Indians,Blacks). That explains why the 1689 Bill of Rights and democratic participation was denied them then and later.
6. Later ,in 1845 the phrase MANIFEST DESTINY was invented,but the idea was already around: that the WHITE race was DIVINELY predestined to occupy the entire North American continent ( from coast to coast).
This idea is NOWHERE in the NT, not even predestination,as far as I can see.
7. Here we come back to Prager a bit,about thanking the British empire.It was WORSE. After a civil war in England, the PURITANS came to POWER and ruled the UK and colonies from 1649-1660 ( 11 years).
The king was executed, and it became a REPUBLIC called the COMMONWEALTH.
8. From 1653-1659 the Commonwealth republic was destroyed by the PURITAN military leader OLIVER CROMWELL
( who had created an army made up mostly of PURITANS, called the “New Model Army”, a very religious army of men that prayed ,didn’t swear,didn’t gamble),
who became a DICTATOR under the title of Lord Protector. His son Richard succeeded him,a Puritan also,who restored the republic.
9. Cromwell was undeniably SINCERE in his Puritan-calvinist beliefs,when in power,he:
1. Forbade CHRISTMAS ( a Popish invention,to the Puritans)
2.Forbade Maypole dancing and Morris dancing
3.Forbade women to wear MAKEUP ( soldiers who saw women with makeup had to rub it off ).
4.Forbade women to wear Pretty Dresses: all women had to weak black dresses and the neck had to be covered.
4.Forbade women to wear loose long hair: either wear it in a bun,or have it short.
5.Forbade men to wear long hear.
6.Forbade GAMBLING and the THEATER.
But in the 6 YEARS the Puritan Cromwell(very religious calvinist) was dictator and could REVOKE ANY law: he forgot to OUTLAW slavery in the colonies.
Worse: according to the slavery law, the slave was PROPERTY,chattel,he had No Rights At All.
7. RESULT: Under Cromwell JAMAICA was taken from the Spaniards in a war that lasted from 1655-1660 and 2.3 MILLION Africans arrived into the British Caribbean colonies from 1650 to 1807.
Plus 400,000 to the 13 colonies,
There, the AVERAGE life span of an African slave after arrival in the CARIBBEAN was 5 YEARS,due to overwork in the sugarcane plantations.
IF, again,IF, when the Puritans had power in the UK, they had OUTLAWED slavery, then history would have been different.

IF is fun game to play …. if the Puritans had been black Muslims there would probably be fewer white people in the U.S. today … probably not even a U.S. at all. I dare to say there would most likely be fewer Christians on the continent – maybe even less than 2% as is the case in Turkey today. Also, IF black Africans were sent to Turkey as slaves why is there no large population of their descendants living in Turkey today as in the Americas? I think maybe it’s because black male slaves were castrated and black women slaves who became pregnant by their masters had their babies aborted – either before or after birth. Also, don’t Muslims believe in predestination in that Allah is all knowing and all powerful and nothing is done without the will of Allah (Inshallah)?
CogitoErgoSum says
By the way, IF Muslims had dominated the colonization of the Americas I think most of the slaves would have come from Europe instead of from Africa.

Actually, the 1689 Bill of Rights does not say that rights are only for whites–you are mistaken.

………….
There is almost no coverage of these Muslim atrocities in the West. Shameful.
