Kenya: Muslims murder five people, injure dozens as bus drives over roadside IED
Al-Shabaab does this in order to strike terror in the enemies of Allah, which is meant to lead to their submission to the Muslims and Sharia. “Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah and your […]
Somalia: Muslim group murders journalist who criticized them for ‘reign of terror’
Al-Shabaab would be much happier in Europe or North America, where “journalists” would bend over backwards to whitewash their crimes and portray them as victims of an unaccountable and inexcusable “Islamophobia.” “Al-Shabaab Claims Responsibility For Execution Of Journalist,” by Lisa Conklin, Taiwan Times, March 4, 2021 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): Galka’yo (PP News […]

Kenya: County governor warns that jihad terror group ‘has taken control of over 50 per cent of Northern Kenya’

Kenya: Muslims flag down bus looking for Christians, find none, ransack the bus and let it go
The jihadis apparently planned to execute the Christians on the bus, only there weren’t any.
