“Make ready for them all that you can of force and of warhorses, so that by them you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy, and others beside them whom you do not know.” (Qur’an 8:60)
“Terrorist bomb attack on Somali club bus kills 3 and wounds 6,” by Paul Nicholson, Inside World Football, August 1, 2021:
August 1 – Barely two weeks after the celebration of a full Mogadishu Stadium for a top of the table league clash, Somali football was struck by tragedy on Friday after a terrorist attack on a team bus killed two players, the bus driver and wounded five others.
The bomb blast happened on the JCCI football club bus in the southern city of Kismayo. The JCCI players were on their way to the Waamo Stadium which was being relaunched after being redeveloped under the FIFA Forward project.
Player Abdi Fitah Hassan Abdulllahi, and the team’s bus driver died on the spot, while Hanad Hassan Yusuf, later died of his wounds sustained in a blast
Local police said the explosive device had been planted inside the team’s bus.
The JCCI club founder Shafi Raabi Kaahin, was killed in a suicide attack in September last year. Al Shabaab claimed responsibility for his killing. No terrorist group has as yet claimed responsibility for Friday’s atrocity.
Two players, Mohamed Amin Abdi Mohamed and Osman Hassan Osman, who were seriously wounded in the blast, have been flown to Mogadishu where they were admitted to Erdogan hospital in the capital on Saturday….
Erdogan Hospital.

“Somali football was struck by tragedy…” No. Struck by atrocity.

Exactly, Michael. It’s not as though these people died in a tragic bus accident or flood or something.

Speaking of soccer, Megan Rapinoe’s squad has been eliminated from the gold & silver medals at the Olympics. Here’s hoping that they go down for the bronze as well ?◯◯◯◯◯⚽?????

Sweden and Canada are not less “woke” than the US, Infidel.
Infidel says
Do their sportsmen hate their countries like our’s do?

Maybe not…quite.
Swedish players “took the knee”, but not during the national anthem.

God, I hate Islam.
Savvyone says
Aren’t we just sick of all this behavior? Watching Dr. Jay Smith and Robert Stevenson on YouTube today, proved to me what I always believed. Islam is a fabricated religion. I did not come to that conclusion without proof. I have read a gazilion books and material over 20 years;i I have known Muslims and ex Muslims and I am an activist against Sha’ria. I do what I can, but it is not enough. We all need to step it up: that is how change comes about.
Savvyone says
Robert Spencer….apologies!
OLD GUY says
Whats really sad about this story is that it happens everyday as islamic jihadist continue their attacks on innocent people.
America is pushing its luck with their open borders policy to migration. And when it does happen the political’s will form a commission and investigate why it happened so that it won’t ever happen again. How about being proactive and closing our borders to anyone from these hate America countries.
