They were apparently hoping to replicate the jihad massacre at Nairobi’s Westgate Mall in 2013, in which jihadists murdered 67 people after quizzing their captives and setting free those who could answer questions about Islam. “Kenyan men arrested with ‘mall IED’ in Nairobi,” BBC, September 8, 2015 (thanks to TheReligionofPeace.com): Three men have been arrested […]
“Let Muslims avoid going to the hotels where men and women misbehave”
Or else. For Al Shabaab is very concerned about “immoral culture,” but doesn’t consider murdering those who engage in this “immoral culture” to be an immoral act at all. “Somali Islamists warn against ‘immoral culture’ at hotels, beaches,” by Feisal Omar, Reuters, September 2, 2015: NAIROBI (Reuters) – Islamist militants al Shabaab issued a warning […]
Kenya panel: Defeat al-Shabaab with correct interpretation of Islam
Hey, what a great idea! How come nobody thought of this before? The blandly offered recommendation here raises one simple question: if all that has to be done to stop jihad terror groups is offer Muslims the correct interpretation of Islam, why isn’t it being done? Why is there no mosque or Islamic school anywhere […]
Miami: Muslim gets 15 years for conspiring to support jihad mass murderers
Al-Shabaab was behind the Westgate Mall massacre in Nairobi several years ago. “Kenyan sentenced to 15 years in prison in US terror case,” by Curt Anderson, Associated Press, August 28, 2015 (thanks to Lookmann): MIAMI (AP) — A Kenyan man described by U.S. prosecutors as a fundraiser and recruiter for terrorist groups in Africa and […]
Somali jihad-martyrdom bomber held German citizenship
“The official, who wished to remain anonymous, said that the bomber held German and Somali citizenship. Spiegel reports that the man lived in Bonn in North Rhine-Westphalia before returning to Somalia.” He was probably let into Germany as a refugee, and even if he was an adult at the time, no attempt whatsoever was made […]
Somalia: Islamic jihadists murder 12 with bomb outside Mogadishu hotel that housed Qatar, Egypt, and China embassies
Why is the New York Times calling this group “The Shabab” instead of the usual “Al-Shabab”? If they’re going to translate the definite article, why not translate the whole name, and call the group “The Youth”? Or would that bring them too close to the group’s full name, Harakat al-Shabaab al-Mujahideen, that is, Mujahideen Youth […]
Somali jihad group Al Shabaab could pledge allegiance to the Islamic State
The concept of the caliphate is at the core of the Islamic State’s appeal. Western analysts are too busy constructing fantasies about how the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam to take much notice, but if Al Shabaab does pledge allegiance to the Islamic State, it will have groups in West Africa (Boko […]
Kenya: Islamic jihadists murder 14 in village near Somali border
Kenya officials announced plans several months ago to build a wall along the border with Somalia to keep the Islamic jihadists out. It has clearly not been built yet. “Militants from Somalia kill 14 in northern Kenya,” The Associated Press, July 7, 2015: NAIROBI, Kenya – A Kenyan official says at least 14 people have […]
UK: Imam accused of recruiting for jihad group doesn’t have to wear electronic tag — it breaches his human rights
What about the human rights of his intended victims? They don’t count, of course. This imam has obviously hoodwinked the easily-hoodwinked British authorities into thinking he is mentally ill and thinks the electronic tag is a bomb, such that they are removing the exact restrictions that were designed to prevent him from doing what he […]
Mother of UK convert to Islam slain in jihad says he had “warped ideas of Islam”
Sally Evans, like all good non-Muslims who aren’t greasy Islamophobes, knows that the view of Islam held by jihad terror groups such as al-Shabaab, al-Qaeda and the Islamic State has nothing whatsoever to do with Islam. The only people not convinced of this, aside from those wicked Islamophobes, are the Muslims who convinced young Thomas […]
Jihadis storm Kenya border village, target military vehicle with IED
“Suspected al-Shabab militants stormed a village in Kenya’s Garissa County, the same county where the al Qaeda-affiliated group killed nearly 150 people in April.” So apparently al-Shabaab can still move into Kenya with impunity. But no one is particularly concerned — after all, no “Islamophobia” is being committed. “Al-Shabab Garissa Raid: Militants Storm Kenya Border […]
“We are planning to give Kenyan non-believers a true taste of Jihad”
“We are planning to give Kenyan non-believers a true taste of Jihad in the next few days and weeks.” Nor do they mean, contrary to the nonsense peddled by the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), that they’re going to take Kenyan non-Muslims to the gym, or drop them off at school. It is also […]
Al Shabaab expands in Kenya, demands jizya from locals
In April, al-Shabaab brutally murdered 147 Christian students at Garissa College. In 2013, al-Shabaab stormed the Westgate Mall in Nairobi, killing 67. ISIS has been reaching out to al-Shabaab to convince them to join their growing network of terror groups. ISIS “affiliates” now established in at least a dozen countries, from Algeria in the West to Indonesia in the East. “Al Shabaab […]
Miami: Muslim pleads guilty to aiding jihad terror groups
“The case evolved from FBI monitoring of Internet chat rooms frequented by Muslim extremists…” Watch for the jihad-enabling groups in the U.S. to start calling for restrictions on FBI monitoring of Muslim chat rooms. “Kenyan man pleads guilty in US terrorism support case based on chat room intercepts,” by Curt Anderson, Associated Press, May 28, […]
Since converting to Islam, UK woman has murdered 400 people
How many did she murder before converting to Islam? Zero, right? And she ascribes her activities now to Islam. Yet no one thinks the phenomenon of converts to Islam becoming jihadis is worthy of study. The mainstream analysts just wave it away with a mumble or two about being “radicalized on the Internet.” “White Widow […]
Brooklyn: Muslims plead guilty to aiding jihad terror group al-Shabaab
This is the group that carried out the Westgate Mall jihad massacre and the recent jihad massacre at Garissa University College in Kenya. How many more supporters does this group have in the U.S.? Is anyone trying to find out the answer to that question, or would that be “Islamophobic”? “Somali natives plead guilty to […]
Al-Shabaab mulling switching allegiance from al-Qaeda to Islamic State
Thinking about backing the strong horse. “Why is it a surprise to hear that Shabaab may join the Islamic State? All Muslims have to unite against their enemy,” said a Shabaab commander. This statement, however, will be completely ignored by most analysts, secure as they are in their delusion that all this has nothing to […]
Somalia: Islamic jihadists murder man for “insulting Muhammad”
We are much more enlightened in the West. We believe in the freedom of speech. Those who insult Muhammad aren’t murdered. They’re just smeared as racist, bigoted Islamophobes, and shunned by all decent people. “Somalia’s al-Shabab kills man for ‘insulting prophet,’” BBC via Middle East Post, April 24, 2015: The Somali Islamist movement al-Shabab has […]
Somalia: Islamic jihad suicide bomber murders at least ten at Mogadishu restaurant
Reuters, like all of the mainstream media, can’t bring itself to say that Islamic jihadists did this, and so their headline has the car bomb killing ten people, as if the car decided on its own to sow murder and mayhem. “At least 10 killed by car bomb at Mogadishu restaurant: police,” Reuters, April 21, […]
Kenya: Imam charged with recruiting youths to jihad mass murder group
An imam? How did he miss all the Qur’an’s peaceful passages? How did he so spectacularly misunderstand the Religion of Peace he has given his life to understanding and teaching properly? “Kenya: Imam in Court for Allegedly Recruiting Youths to Al Shabaab,” The Star via AllAfrica.com, April 11, 2015 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): […]
