The jihadis apparently planned to execute the Christians on the bus, only there weren’t any. This is reminiscent of other incidents, including when the Muslim in Minnesota who asked mall shoppers if they were Muslim and then stabbed non-Muslims. In the Philippines in February 2019, Muslims murdered a man for failing to recite Qur’an verses, while releasing six others who could recite them. In Mali, Muslims screaming “Allahu akbar” took hostages, freeing those who could recite the Qur’an. In September 2013 at Nairobi’s Westgate Mall, Muslims murdered people who couldn’t answer questions about Islam. In June 2014, Muslims murdered people who could not pass an Islam quiz. In November 2014, Muslims murdered 28 non-Muslims who couldn’t recite Qur’an verses. In April 2015, Muslims screaming “Allahu akbar” stormed Garissa University College, and only shot those who couldn’t recite Qur’an. In a Bangladesh restaurant in July 2016, the jihadis spared those who could recite from the Qur’an. In July 2017 in Kenya, Muslims asked Christians to “recite Islamic dogmas” and murdered them when they couldn’t do so. In May 2018 in Belgium, a Muslim who murdered four people told a hostage that he wouldn’t harm her since she was Muslim and was observing the Ramadan fast. In September 2018 in Kenya, Muslims murdered two non-Muslims for failing to recite the Qur’an.
“Al-Shabaab Attacks Bus Traveling in Kenya Looking for Christians,” International Christian Concern, January 13, 2021:
01/13/2021 Kenya (International Christian Concern) – International Christian Concern (ICC) has learned that yesterday, January 12, 2020, gunmen believed to be part of the Somali-based al-Shabaab terrorist group flagged down a passenger bus at Tarbaj, Wajir State. During the attack the gunmen separated men from women, interrogating them to identify non-local travelers.
Reporting on the incident, the conductor of the bus plying Mandera Nairobi route said, “We were approaching a place called Darkut when six fully armed men stopped the bus. They fired in the air and ordered all our passengers from Mandera to alight. They separated men and women and started asking if there were people who were not Somalis. They also wanted to know if we carried any civil servants. Fortunately, they were not able to identify any.”
Al-Shabaab has long posed a security threat in the Northeastern region along Kenya’s border with Somalia, regularly targeting Christians. In recent years, the militants have killed hundreds of non-local passengers by separating them from Muslims and shooting them dead. Yesterday, when they failed to identify any Christians, they ransacked the bus and stole foodstuffs and other items belonging to the travelers. They also robbed the conductor.
“They demanded the money that the passengers had paid for fare, and I handed it over, all of it, 40,000Ksh. That’s when they left.” He said.
Speaking during a security meeting on January 11, Captain Ali Roba, the Governor of Mandera, admitted that insecurity has reached unprecedented levels over the last three months because “al-Shabaab [has] taken control of half of the Northeastern region and occupied strategic locations due to their undeterred movement across the border and within the area.” He also stated that members of the al-Shabaab are “collecting livestock by force from helpless pastoralists in the name of Zakat.”…

Islam is not benign. Such an incident of a bus being searched for Christians to stab would shake up and trouble most Leftards who still insist Islam is benign.
Leftards don’t realize that their lives are even more in jeopardy as godless communists. Godlessness is even more offensive to jihadists than Christianity.

Just wondering when Pope Francis will weigh in on this…

Pope left mary for mohammed years ago but the pope did take mary with him to the kaaba in Saudi Arabia on the last hajj he attended. The Pope still carries a statue of the deceased Jewish woman in his camel bag to this day.

Kenya: Muslims flag down bus looking for Christians, find none, ransack the bus and let it go
……………….
Yes–Jiahdists looking for Infidels to murder is hideously common. I believe Muslims did the same with a bus in Israel.
Next time there will be Christians on the bus–and we know what happens then.
God, I hate Islam.

To gravenimage- I just looked up information on the internet about gun laws in Kenya. The Chief Licensing Officer has the power to
grant gun licenses to citizens of Kenya and this person can also rescind or revoke a gun license. The people of Kenya do not have a Constitutional right to carry a gun as the Kenyan Constitution does not stipulate this right. Therefore, citizens are at the mercy of the bureaucrat responsible for gun licenses or not.
So how do “devout” Muslims in Kenya like those in this article ? get their hands on guns to kill innocent people? I want to know.

Assuming he was Muslim, and therefore not a target, the gunman told him to go and join his colleagues on the other side of the restaurant.
“I crawled on my hands and knees over dead bodies and blood. Then suddenly I heard two shots. The Japanese man with me in the chiller was dead.”

“Turkish architect, Seyfi Müezzinoglu is the son Ziya Müezzinoglu, the Turkish Minister of Finance in the late 1970s. Meltem Müezzinoglu was the CEO of a pharmaceuticals company. The couple were making their first visit to Mumbai, India to attend an international pharmaceuticals conference. They were half way through dinner at the Oberoi Hotel when the Mumbai terrorist attack in 2008 began. They were taken hostage by the gunmen for several hours. They are among the few people to have had close contact with the terrorists and survived.”
This Muslim couple from Turkey knew the Islamic prayers.

Just plain criminal, these thugs ransack their own people. Yes they didn’t behead them, I guess that shows their love and peace to others. The only answer to these thugs is to isolate them in their countries through tuff border control and restrictions on islamic migrants entering our countries. Diversity through open borders is a disastrous idea as you are inviting your enemy into your country.
