The ignorance of statements like this is genuinely staggering.

Its basically just another example of what Islamists have been saying since 1979 - Westerners are bigots who have contempt for the religious beliefs, practice, and morals of everybody else.

That said, I still can't get over this Ukranian woman declaring that everybody in the world from Ulster Prods to Croats to Salafis are ''evil'' because they follow their faith and its moral demands - because of course, Russian and Ukranian atheists brought such marvelous and peaceful things to the world in the 20th century.

You really have to wonder how this kind of total disengagement from reality is possible among adults of normal intelligence.

A world with nothing worth fighting over is a world with nothing worth living for. I am not surprised that a woman can't tell the difference between life and survival.

I find it lol that the NY Times would call this eliminated unit 'highly regarded'. There's a hidden message for someone here.

MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — The death toll rose Monday to at least 35 killed in the most serious Islamic extremist attack in years on Mogadishu, a government official said.

Islamic radicals from al-Shabab launched a multi-pronged attack against the country's Supreme Court complex on Sunday. The interior minister said nine militants launched the attack, and that six exploded their suicide vests. A car bomb later exploded near the airport.

Dahir Amin Jesow, a Somali legislator who heads a security committee in parliament, said Monday that the toll from the attacks could rise even further because of the number of seriously wounded. Dozens were hurt, he said.

Al-Shabab once controlled almost all of Mogadishu. African Union and Somali forces pushed the Islamic militants out of the city in 2011, but the fighters have continued to carry out bomb attacks. The violence Sunday was the largest and most coordinated attack since al-Shabab was forced out of the city.

Abdirashid Hashi, the deputy director of the Mogadishu-based Heritage Institute for Policy Studies, said the attack shows that al-Shabab can strike the government at will and that the group could come quite close to "decapitating" a vital government arm. The Supreme Court was in session when the attack occurred.

"What happened ... in downtown Mogadishu will force the government to revisit its priorities," Hashi said by email. "Because if it fails to provide security to the citizens in the capital, it will have difficulties justifying its demands in extending its writ to other parts of the country."

Hashi noted that Somalia's intelligence agency and foreign governments had predicted a major al-Shabab attack. Britain's Foreign Office released a statement on Friday saying it believed a terror attack was imminent.

The top U.N. official for Somalia, Augustine P. Mahiga, said he was shocked and outraged by the attack. Mahiga said the total number of dead wasn't clear, but that reports indicated that "many innocent civilians were killed including women and at least one child."

The attack on the Supreme Court complex began at around 12:30 p.m. Sunday, sparking running battles with police and army forces. One car bomb detonated outside the court, and gunmen were seen on the roof of a court building firing shots.

On a Twitter feed believed to belong to the militants, al-Shabab appeared to take credit for the attack. A posting said five militants from the "Martyrdom Brigade" took part in the "daring" attack.

Somali security forces have moved outside of the city to confront al-Shabab militants on Mogadishu's outskirts, but that deployment has left somewhat of a security vacuum in the city itself, a vacuum that the militants exploited on Sunday, a Western official who demanded anonymity because he wasn't authorized to be quoted said on Sunday.

Despite intermittent attacks from al-Shabab, Mogadishu is generally considered more peaceful today than most of the previous seven years.

The forum talk around Islamism and Jihad is focused ~90% on Syria and the Boston deal.

Syria has become the standard daily cry for Sunni Arab victimhood and is Salafizing/Islamizing/Radicalizing the Sunni street much harder and thoroughly than Iraq or Afghanistan did. It's become a bigger cause than Palestine. The longer it lasts the more magnified in effect it will be. There is going to be a flood of Syria veterans returning home and when they do it's not going to be the Arab Spring, it's going to be a pan-Arab Salafi seizure of the capitals by absolute bloody force, plowing over Secularists, Leftists and non-Muslim minorities unapologetically, and Ikhwan is going to be run over like an old lady trying to cross a Beijing intersection. Give it one decade.

Sunnis not glued to the Syria conflict and still holding some interest in the War on America and Western Faggotry are taking little lessons from what's happened in Boston. First, that Muslims at war with the Red Camp (Russia, China, Iran, Myanmar, Damascus, Baghdad, Khartoum, etc) are also pursuing the war with the Blue Camp (NATO and friends). To explain, there are Jihadi fronts around the world, some against Red Camp states and others against the Blue Camp. The North Caucasus and East Turkistan Jihads are against the Red Camp. The Jihads in Somalia, Mali, Afghanistan, Bangsamoro, South Thailand, etc are against the Blue Camp. When Jihadis from fronts against the Red Camp engage against the Blue Camp, such as Chechens killing Americans... it solidifies pan-Jihadi unity. A divisive action would be like JEM Jihadis in Darfur flirting with the Mossad and CIA against a Chinese proxy regime, as happened. This was Fur Jihadis ignoring the Palestinians, Lebanese, Iraqis, Afghans, Somalis and so on who were/are in a critical struggle against the US and Israel. Or another divisive action would be Kashmiri Jihadis flirting with China against India, ignoring the East Turkistanis (Uighur, Hui, and Kazakh) ignoring the Fur and Sudanese Arab Islamists, ignoring all the Muslims and Islamists China is crushing. For the total internationalization of Sunni Jihad, it is important that Chechnya's enemies are all the Sunni's enemies and vice versa. Now if Iraqis would kill Russians, the love would be confirmed as mutual and we'll be upon OBL's dream of a global Jihad that transcends geopolitical alignments in the Kaffirsphere.

Also, the fact that two bombs and a police shooting resulting in a mere 4 deaths could lock down a whole American city has obvious implications for future Jihadi actions against the US. If all a Jihadi has to do to shut down an American city is kill a handful of people in a public event and lead the police on a chase, then what can 19 Jihadis do? America has become paralyzed with fear because it profits the security industry to overreact. Some countries need a severe pounding in the face before they'll back off a particular policy. America can be flicked in the ear and fall over in lock-legged paralysis like a fainting goat?

If America's next reaction to a real AQ attack is to lock itself down police-state and invade the country the plotters were last seen, then it gives great incentive to AQ to conduct such an attack. On the otherhand, AQ is pandering to Sunni Arabs and Pakis, so Zawahiri's last video was most noteworthy for shit-talking Iran (which has recently stopped Sunni fighters from Pakistan crossing through to join the Jihad in Syria). With the US military out of Iraq, Afghanistan, and the American proxy in Egypt fallen to Ikhwan.. it's almost as if the US isn't much of a concern to Sunni Jihadis aside from drone strikes, CIA cells, and special forces raids. The guns are turning away from Zionists and Crusaders, and they're pointing more and more at the Rafidah. If you are the Shia entity you are watching the waters come in at you on both sides like Pharoah's army on Moses's heals.
