Sixty-eight dead. At least 175 injured. About 30 hostages still inside, as well as perhaps a dozen gunmen.

Those are the grim numbers, more than a day after Islamist attackers stormed an upscale Nairobi mall on Saturday, spraying bullets and holding shoppers captive.

The tense standoff continued into Sunday night, with sporadic gunfire heard through the day and at least one explosion.

Gunmen shot anyone who could not recite an Islamic prayer in the #Westgate shopping mall attack

In one of today's DailyMail articles, an eyewitness said they lined up around 40 people and asked them Islam questions. The question he witnessed was what was the name of Mohammed's mother. The male witness was hiding with two wounded women under a car.

I learned about the Dutch resistance fighters during WWII; to determine if German captives were pretending to be Dutch because the languages are similar, they would point to a map of Holland and ask the suspected Germans to read aloud the name of a particular towns such as Schevenigen, because their pronunciation is so unique to the Dutch language.

Just like our soldiers would ask “Who won the 1938 World Series?” during WWII.

I have been wracking my brain trying to understand Drudge on this story. Yesterday morning he had the story up briefly- then he took it down. Not a word since then. Bizarre.

I’ve been following it on rt.com, they seem to be the most informative, plus they don’t have to worry about offending Muslims.

“the entire world is going to have to tell these Islamicists to knock off the krap or get same beat the hell out of them once and for all”

End times being fulfilled...

REVELATION 20:4
I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Revelation

Obama’s cousin, Odinga has some potential connections here:

http://archive.org/details/BarackObamasCousinRailaOdinga-AgreementForIslamicShariaLaw

This is the infamous agreement (”Memorandum of Understanding”)that Barack Obama’s cousin made with Islamic Supremacists in Kenya, promising to suppress Christianity, and to establish Sharia (Islamic) law, if elected. Barack Obama assisted his cousin Odinga in this attempt to get elected, evidently knowing about this relationship with Kenyan Muslims. After Odinga lost the elections, and violence broke out against Kenyan Christians, Obama continued to assist Odinga, this time, in attempts to circumvent the election results.

More Muslim Connection in Kenya.

"Why Is Drudge NOT Covering Kenya Slaughter?"

He's covering "Odors Used During Sleep Quell Fears," but nothing NOTHING on Kenya. I'd have to say it's obvious. He received a phone call. Meanwhile, back at the ranch...

That is strange. I wonder why Drudge doesn’t have it on his site?
