Somali Islamist insurgents behead 7 people

Somali Islamist fighters on Friday beheaded seven prisoners accused of abandoning the Muslim faith and spying for the government in the largest mass execution since the Islamists were pushed from power two and a half years ago.

The public killings in the southwestern town of Baidoa followed weeks of fierce fighting as the Islamists try to seize Somalia's capital, Mogadishu, amid mounting concerns about the influx of hundreds of foreign fighters to the failed state.

The beheadings may be linked to the Islamists' failure to take Mogadishu after a 2-month-old offensive, said a senior analyst at global intelligence company Stratfor.

"Al-Shabab is reacting to a setback,"

What a toilet that country is. Seems only fitting that Muslims exist there.

To use the word “insurgents” in the same article as the reporting of 7 beheadings is nothing short of comically absurd.

When does Obama visit Somalia? He could lay hands on the people and heal them.

“...accused of abandoning the Muslim faith.” Nice spin, AP. In fact, they were accused of being “Christians”, a word the AP will go to any lengths to avoid using in the opening paragraph of this story.

The Religion of Pieces. They cut through all the political crap and get right down to the grisly business of dealing with apostates and infidels.

Barbarians. Pure and simple...barbarians.

Islam is a cancer on humanity.

Not only a cancer to society, but as we bring more of these heathens into this country they are going to push for our cities and then country to adopt their sharia laws.

Somalis are Islamists and want to live by Sharia law, and have used our courts to impose it on us in the USA.

Somali Refugees admitted to USA.

1983-93: 4413

1994: 3508

1995: 2524

1996: 6440

1997: 4948

1998: 2952

1999: 4321

2000: 6002

2001: 4940

2002: 242 (Guesses why this is so low? 9/11 freaked everyone out!)

2003: 1708

O.K. so in 2003 we had admitted a total of 42,017 Somalis to the US. In those 20 years each Somali family was having on average 6 children.

Continuing (are you sitting down?):

2004: 12,814

2005: 10,101

2006: 10,220

2007: 6958

2008 to the end of August: 1761

We have reported to you before that the number is so low (relatively low!) for 2008 because DNA testing in Africa showed that the refugee program was corrupt through and through and those thousands coming in as ”family” were lying.

We have admitted 83,991 Somali Shariah-supporting immigrants to the US in 25 years. More then half, 43,682, came since September 11th!
