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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
