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

Eritrea sanctioned at U.N. for support of Somali jihad

Dec 24, 2009 12:05 am By Marisol Seibold

Interestingly, Libya was the lone “no” vote. “Eritrea Sanctioned Over Somalia Terrorism Concern (Update1),” by Bill Varner for Bloomberg, December 23: Dec. 23 (Bloomberg) — Eritrean government and military leaders accused of being allied with al-Qaeda-linked terrorists in a bid to topple Somalia’s transitional government became the target of United Nations sanctions today. The UN […]

Somali jihadists enforcing “Taliban-style” dress code

Dec 23, 2009 1:12 pm By Marisol Seibold

However, the Taliban didn’t invent it. Prominent elements of this “dress code” far predate their movement. “Somali militants enforce Taliban-style dress code,” from the Associated Press, December 23: MOGADISHU, Somalia — Residents of a southern Somali town say Islamists are enforcing a Taliban-style dress code. And the sign says, long-haired freaky people need not apply: […]

Villagers forced to watch stoning in Somalia

Dec 14, 2009 2:29 pm By Robert Spencer

A hadith regarding stoning: “‘Umar said, ‘I am afraid that after a long time has passed, people may say, “We do not find the Verses of the Rajam (stoning to death) in the Holy Book,” and consequently they may go astray by leaving an obligation that Allah has revealed. Lo! I confirm that the penalty […]

Somalia: Suicide bomber in attack on gov’t ministers had been living in Denmark

Dec 11, 2009 1:02 am By Marisol Seibold

Not all who travel to join the jihad in Somalia will become suicide bombers. Some will return to their prior country of residence, trained, experienced, and looking to apply what they have learned. More on this story. “Somalia suicide bomber ‘was from Denmark’,” from BBC News, December 10: A suicide bomber who killed at least […]

Somalia: Islamophobes kill people inside mosque — no, wait…

Dec 8, 2009 8:38 am By Robert Spencer

“Sheikh Abdirahman Hassan Hussein, an Al-Shabaab official in Lower Shabelle confirmed the attack at the mosque, claiming that the people were ‘apostates’ who gathered to do un-Islamic ritual.” That makes it ok, you see. Obviously Sheikh Abdirahman Hassan Hussein is yet another Misunderstander of Islam. “Somalia: Al-Shabaab Kills People Inside Mosque,” from Garowe Online, December […]

Feds charge 20 “young Americans” with joining Al-Qaeda-linked Somali jihad group

Nov 24, 2009 7:12 am By Robert Spencer

Minnesota: Sixth Muslim charged with recruiting Somali residents for jihad

Nov 20, 2009 12:33 pm By Marisol Seibold

Still another “misunderstander” of Islam. Funny how that keep happening. “Sixth area Somali man is indicted in probe,” by James Walsh, Richard Meryhew and Allie Shah for the Star Tribune, November 20: A 24-year-old local Somali man has been indicted in U.S. District Court in Minneapolis on charges of conspiring to provide support to terrorists.

20-year-old woman stoned to death for adultery in Somalia

Nov 18, 2009 10:55 am By Marisol Seibold

Sharia Alert. This woman was killed after giving birth, following Muhammad’s example: There came to him (the Holy Prophet) a woman from Ghamid and said: Allah’s Messenger, I have committed adultery, so purify me. He (the Holy Prophet) turned her away. On the following day she said: Allah’s Messenger, Why do you turn me away? […]

Muslims in Canada going to Somalia to join jihad

Nov 17, 2009 12:46 pm By Robert Spencer

Canada welcomes in immigrants and ends up becoming a center for jihad recruitment, eh? “Officials worried group in Canada went to join Islamic radicals in Somalia,” by Stewart Bell for the National Post, November 16 (thanks to Kim): TORONTO — Counterterrorism officials are investigating a group of youths who allegedly left Canada for East Africa […]

“Somali man from Minneapolis” arrested in Netherlands for jihad recruitment

Nov 11, 2009 5:48 am By Robert Spencer

This article actually identifies the “terrorists” as “Islamic extremists,” but only does so in the seventh paragraph. Now, why does this matter? Why should it be mentioned at all? Because the more we remain in denial about the source and nature of the problem, the harder it will be to solve. “Alleged Somali recruiter arrested, […]

Somalia: Adulterer stoned to death; pregnant girlfriend faces execution after she gives birth

This, too, follows the example of Muhammad: There came to him (the Holy Prophet) a woman from Ghamid and said: Allah’s Messenger, I have committed adultery, so purify me. He (the Holy Prophet) turned her away. On the following day she said: Allah’s Messenger, Why do you turn me away? Perhaps, you turn me away […]

Somali jihadists threaten Israel

Nov 1, 2009 10:39 am By Marisol Seibold

An update on the expanding aspirations of al-Shabaab. The story below notes how al-Shabaab has somehow “mutated” from a “nationalist” movement to an international jihadist organization, with rhetoric indistinguishable from that of al-Qaeda. This is easier to explain than CNN may think, or want to believe. First, the fundamental goal of jihad is the imposition […]

Somali women flogged for not wearing socks

Oct 30, 2009 5:02 am By Marisol Seibold

Sharia Alert: A system such as Sharia, with insufficient (or mostly absent) limitations on power, lends itself to even more imaginative abuses than are explicitly stated in the letter of the law. “Somali women beaten for violating Islamic law, officials say,” by Mohammed Amiin Adow for CNN, October 29: (CNN) — Militants who control parts […]

Somalia: Islamic supremacists murder Christian woman for refusing to wear veil

Oct 29, 2009 9:44 am By Robert Spencer

“Moreover, freedom in America is indivisible from the freedom to practice one’s religion. That is why there is a mosque in every state in our union, and over 1,200 mosques within our borders. That’s why the United States government has gone to court to protect the right of women and girls to wear the hijab […]

Oct 26, 2009 12:03 am By Marisol Seibold

Movies and television? No way. Executions? Bring the whole family — or else! “Somalis ‘made to view executions’,” by Mary Harper for BBC News, October 25: Hundreds of people in Somalia have been forced to watch Islamist militants executing two people accused of spying.

Somali jihad group threatens journalists

Oct 25, 2009 3:47 pm By Robert Spencer

If these Somali jihadists ultimately join the Somali immigrants who are coming in large numbers into the United States, they will find that “journalists” like Michael Kruse, Phil Keating, Meredith Heagney, Manya Brachear, and S. I. Rosenbaum are their best friends. “Hizbul Islam threaten Somalia journalists,” from Garowe Online, October 24 (thanks to James): MOGADISHU, […]

Somali jihadists threaten to strike Uganda and Burundi

Oct 24, 2009 4:50 pm By Robert Spencer

Why are we importing large numbers of Somalis into the U.S.? Why are no efforts being made — none whatsoever — to determine the attachment to the jihad and Islamic supremacism of the Somalis we are bringing into the country? “Uganda, Burundi Condemn Threats By Somali Insurgents,” by Douglas Mpuga for VOA News, October 24 […]

Somalia: Ramadan quiz winners get prizes of guns and grenades

Oct 17, 2009 9:20 am By Robert Spencer

“The reason the young men were rewarded with weapons is to encourage them to participate in the ongoing holy war against the enemies of Allah in Somalia,” said Sheikh Abdullahi Alhaq. Monty Hall he ain’t. I’d rather have the latest from Speidel. They were being quizzed on, among other things, the Koran. Then the winners […]
