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

Somalia: Muslims murder 23 in jihad-martyrdom car bombings

Aug 21, 2016 8:22 pm By Robert Spencer

“Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties, for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed.” (Qur’an 9:111) “Somali bombings leave 23 dead; Al-Shabaab claims responsibility,” CNN, August 21, 2016: MOGADISHU, Somalia — A pair of suicide car bombings struck […]

Somalia: Muslims murder at least 13 people with jihad car bomb attack near Mogadishu airport

Jul 27, 2016 7:07 am By Robert Spencer

The jihad is truly global, and more aggressive than ever. The jihad group al-Shabaab has claimed this one: “The two explosions were carried out by two courageous Mujahideen suicide bombers who targeted two places where the alleged peacekeeping troops are based.” Authorities will no doubt be searching for motive. “Somalia: Double car bomb attack near […]

Ramadan in Somalia: Huge blast, heavy gunfire inside Mogadishu hotel

Jun 25, 2016 12:02 pm By Robert Spencer

“Saturday’s attack came just three weeks after another assault quickly claimed by the Al-Qaeda-linked Shabaab group on the city’s Ambassador hotel left 10 dead including two lawmakers when a huge car bomb ripped the front off the six-storey building.” Soon there will be no more hotels for the throngs of tourists in lovely Mogadishu. “The […]

Somalia: Islamic group murders four in jihad attack on presidential palace

Feb 26, 2016 10:33 am By Robert Spencer

“We pounded mortar shells on the so-called presidential palace,” said Sheikh Abdiasis Abu Musab, al Shabaab’s military spokesman. Why? “The al Qaeda-linked al Shabaab frequently targets government buildings, hotels and security forces in Mogadishu in its bid to overthrow the Western-backed government.” What kind of government do they want to install? Reuters doesn’t think that […]

Somalia: Muslims set off car bombs at restaurant, many casualties

Jan 21, 2016 10:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“There are reports a second eatery, the Liido Seafood restaurant, was also attacked. It is popular with Mogadishu’s elite and government officials.” That is almost certainly why it was targeted. “Gunmen Attack Beach Restaurant In Somalia,” Sky News, January 21, 2016: Gunmen have attacked a beachside restaurant in the Somali capital, setting off two car […]

Somalia: Muslim group storms hotel, shoots guests and hotel workers, murdering at least 14

Nov 3, 2015 4:52 am By Robert Spencer

“The Shabab have vowed to turn Somalia into a pure Islamic state” — and this is how they clearly believe one should go about establishing such an entity: with mass murder. “Popular Hotel in Somalia Is Bombed by Militants,” by Mohammed Ibrahim and Jeffrey Gettleman, New York Times, November 1, 2015: MOGADISHU, Somalia — Islamist […]

“Let Muslims avoid going to the hotels where men and women misbehave”

Sep 3, 2015 7:59 pm By Robert Spencer

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 […]

Somali jihad-martyrdom bomber held German citizenship

Jul 28, 2015 1:31 pm By Robert Spencer

“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

Jul 27, 2015 6:39 am By Robert Spencer

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 […]

Somalia: Islamic jihad suicide bomber murders at least ten at Mogadishu restaurant

Apr 21, 2015 12:53 pm By Robert Spencer

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, […]

Somalia: Islamic jihadists storm Mogadishu hotel, murder at least nine people

Mar 28, 2015 10:06 am By Robert Spencer

NBC News has the casualty figure at nine now. Islamic jihadists appear to be operating more brazenly and brutally than ever — time to deflect the public’s attention with a new series of reports on “Islamophobia.” “Militants Take Hostages in Deadly Attack on Mogadishu Hotel,” by Mohammed Ibrahim, New York Times, March 27, 2015: MOGADISHU, […]

Somalia: Islamic jihadists attack hotel where government officials were meeting, murdering at least 10 people

Feb 21, 2015 12:49 pm By Robert Spencer

“We shall continue the anti-terrorism war, this attack makes clear that terrorists don’t have any respect for the peaceful religion of Islam by killing innocent Muslims,” said Somalia’s president Hassan Sheikh Mohamud. Indeed, the Qur’an says: “And never is it for a believer to kill a believer except by mistake” (4:92), although these jihadists were, […]

Somalia: Islamic jihadists target UN convoy, murder four

Dec 3, 2014 8:14 am By Robert Spencer

After all the UN has done to demonize Israel and aid the global jihad, you’d think jihadis would show more gratitude. “Somalia car bomb targets UN convoy near airport,” BBC, December 3, 2014 (thanks to Twostellas): At least four people have been killed in a car bomb blast next to a UN convoy in Somalia’s […]
