“Al-Qaeda-linked Shebab rebels claimed responsibility for the bombing, the latest in a surge of attacks in Mogadishu during Islam’s holy month of Ramadan.” There has been a surge of attacks because Ramadan is a time for Muslims to renew and strengthen their commitment to Allah — and the Islamic jihadists of al Shabaab believe that […]
Somalia: Islamic jihadists attack hotel, murder three people
Islamic jihadists are more assertive and aggressive than ever, all over the globe. It’s a good thing that this has “nothing to do with Islam.” Imagine how much worse it would be if it did. “3 dead in Somalia after militants attack hotel,” Associated Press, June 26, 2014: MOGADISHU, Somalia — A suicide bomber and […]
Texas: Two Muslims arrested on jihad terror charges

Somali jihadists urge Muslims in West to carry out jihad suicide attacks
The message from this jihadist is full of references to Allah.

Somalia: Islamic jihadists murder five with bomb planted in government vehicle
Islamic jihadists have made Somalia a chaos of anarchy.

Minneapolis: Somali Muslims protest against Kenya counter-terror efforts
