SNIPPET: "NAIROBI, Kenya, May 5 (CDN) -- Islamic militants yesterday killed another leader of the underground church movement in Somalia, sources said.
Before he was fatally shot on Tuesday (May 4) in Xarardheere, about 60 kilometers (37 miles) from Jowhar, 57-year-old Yusuf Ali Nur had been on a list of people the Islamic extremist al Shabaab suspected of being Christian, sources who spoke on condition of anonymity told Compass. Al Shabaab, said to have links with al Qaeda, has vowed to rid Somalia of Christianity."
SNIPPET: "Nur is survived by his wife, whose name was withheld for security reasons, and three children, ages 11, 9 and 7.
This latest death comes after several execution-style murders of Somalis suspected of being members of a suppressed yet resilient underground faith movement in Somalia. A number of Christians have been beheaded by the radical Islamists out to topple the fledgling TFG and introduce a strict version of sharia (Islamic law). [...]"
SNIPPET: "Nur, who had worked on a farm while in Jowhar, had long being monitored by al Shabaab, the sources said. After settling in Xarardheere, he became the head teacher of Ganane Primary School and also taught English.

CHRISTIANS should speak out on the different international stages and organizations since Ohblablabama and european libtard politicians like him don’t care and want to look like islam “friends”.
Meanwhile the Catholic church today is not vocal enough for different reasons and appears to be shied and weakened...
Those kind of agressions and killings should make the headlines and be publicly denounced for the shame of islam and muslims since muslim leaders don’t denounce clear and loud those actions
The religion of peace and love strikes again!
Yes, they really do want to kill us. Oh excuse me, Christian ‘leaders’ are too busy demanding ‘human rights’ for terrorists and putting demands on Israel to surrender to speak up about this kind of thing.
There’s so much tolerance in the ROP.
It seems you know nothing about Christians.
Don’t ping me again.
Have a good day.
A martyr? Praise God.
They will be going after the wife and children next. Obama is happy.
Prayers for his family. God, help us all...
Somali Christians are the only Somalis we ought to let set foot in this country.
This is a recent posting on Facebook from one of my daughter’s friends in Uganda.
“Kyomulinzi Gordon Survived a moslem mob with britone yesterday... For teaching a girl how to grow in Christ.. Our church is being threatened. Pray for us please.”
Islam is evil.
I think not. What fools we are to remove Rev. Graham from the Pentagon National Day of Prayer because some Muslims are offended.
Meanwhile, at nearly every airport, well intentioned somali’s are driving taxis for infidels in dry runs on our nations transportation infrastructure.
Nothing to be concerned about at all.
Off to chew some khat...
I didn’t ping you, I responded to your post. Why are you getting snippy? We are on the same side on this.
