Jihadist indoctrination in Nairobi’s Somali enclave: “They tell us that al-Shabab hates Western countries like America … and that it is all right to cut the throats of every citizen of these countries.”
How many in Somalia, and in this Somali neighborhood, never thought it would get this bad? How many more deluded themselves that Sharia, once implemented, wouldn’t include any of the nastier practices?

Push continues for expanded Sharia courts in Kenyan constitution: “It is clear that the Muslim community is basically carving for itself an Islamic state within a state”
“Christian leaders point out that the ‘Harmonized Draft’ of the constitution discriminates against non-Muslims and contradicts its own Article 10 (1-3), which states that there shall be no state religion, that the state shall treat all religions equally and that state and religion shall be separate.” An update on this story. “Push for Islamic Courts […]
Report: Somalia’s al-Shabaab declares jihad on Kenya
That was bound to happen sooner or later, just as soon as al-Shabaab got strong enough to expand its horizons. The newly minted alliance with al-Qaeda is also significant, as al-Shabaab has access to al-Qaeda’s assets in the region to make good on its threats. “Somalia: Al-Shabaab declares jihad on Kenya,” from Garowe Online, February […]
