Father refuses to give al Shabaab extremists information about house church pastor.
Islamic extremists have beheaded two young boys in Somalia because their Christian father refused to divulge information about a church leader, and the killers are searching Kenya’s refugee camps to do the same to the boys’ father.
Before taking his Somali family to a Kenyan refugee camp in April, 55-year-old Musa Mohammed Yusuf himself was the leader of an underground church in Yonday village, 30 kilometers (19 miles) from Kismayo in Somalia. He had received instruction in the Christian faith from Salat Mberwa.
Militants from the Islamic extremist group al Shabaab entered Yonday village on Feb. 20, went to Yusuf’s house and interrogated him on his relationship with Mberwa, leader of a fellowship of 66 Somali Christians who meet at his home at an undisclosed city. Yusuf told them he knew nothing of Mberwa and had no connection with him. The Islamic extremists left but said they would return the next day.
“I watched my three boys dragged away helplessly as my youngest boy was crying,” Arbow said. “I knew they were going to be slaughtered. Just after some few minutes I heard a wailing cry from Abdulahi running towards the house. I could not hold my breath. I only woke up with all my clothes wet. I knew I had fainted due to the shock.”
With the help of neighbors, Arbow said, she buried the bodies of her two children the following day.

9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, do you not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? 11 And white robes were given to every one of them; and it was said to them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also and their brothers, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. Revelation 6:9-11
I’m reading a book called How The Catholic Church Built Western Civilization. A bit strong on the Catholic stuff but says that about 13th century, there were some of Aristotle’s writings which were rescued and translated into Arabic and made their way into Europe. They did influence Western thought and Christian Europe did much more with them than the Muslims. Good book. Sort of Western Civ for Dummies with a RC twist.
Ah, the RoP strikes again. God’s loving comfort to the surviving family members, His welcoming arms to these young martyrs, and His mighty wrath to the vicious, evil lunatics who are responsible for these atrocities.
Another excellent example of Islamic tolerence and compassion. Prayers to the children and their family.
Muslims have been behaving like this for their entire 1500-year existence. They will never change. Damn them and damn the liberals who brought them here.

Revelation 14:The Harvest of the Earth
14I looked, and there before me was a white cloud, and seated on the cloud was one “like a son of man”[a] with a crown of gold on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand. 15Then another angel came out of the temple and called in a loud voice to him who was sitting on the cloud, “Take your sickle and reap, because the time to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is ripe.” 16So he who was seated on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested.
17Another angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle. 18Still another angel, who had charge of the fire, came from the altar and called in a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, “Take your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of grapes from the earth’s vine, because its grapes are ripe.” 19The angel swung his sickle on the earth, gathered its grapes and threw them into the great winepress of God’s wrath. 20They were trampled in the winepress outside the city, and blood flowed out of the press, rising as high as the horses’ bridles for a distance of 1,600 stadia.[b]

Why, did one of his beloved Mohammedans hurt himself murdering those children?
I don’t understand why the father didn’t take his family with him when he left. Not blaming him, but I’m wondering if this horrendous murder of two innocent children could’ve been avoided.
Well that ought to earn some of their kinfolk a sweet rent subsized pad in Minneapolis.
Well, I read the whole article. The two boys beheaded were 11 and 12. The 7-year-old was able to run back to his mother.
That is so sad. Why can’t we help these people!
Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

Oh, dear God.
Ask the townies in Lewiston, Maine. They got to pay for the 60% on welfare for their "guest", but are called racist by the Bates College crowd and MSM.
Yep, and they’ve been behaving like this toward US for all of our existence too - remember Jefferson, the Leathernecks and the Barbary Pirates. Jefferson was told way back in 1784 by an ambassador from Tripoli that the Koran tells them to plunder and enslave non-Muslims.
But this is a religion of peace hijacked by extremists.
