If Al-Qaeda can recruit American terrorists to operate in a far away Nairobi mall, it can certainly do the same for domestic malls.
But never lose sight of the fact that Islam is a religion of peace.
Three Attackers in Kenya Mall Siege Lived in US — CNN
Three of the attackers at the Westgate Mall siege in Nairobi, Kenya, are from the United States, sources within the terror group that orchestrated the attack told CNN on Sunday.
CNN reported that the American-linked militants from the terrorist group al-Shabab are among nine people listed on a since-shuttered Twitter account linked to the group.
Two of the Americans are from Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota, and the other is from Kansas City, Missouri. Minneapolis has a large Somali community that in the past has been linked to recruitment efforts by al-Shabab as well as al-Qaida.

The Evil of Global Jihad
This past weekend makes clear the jihadi path.
By Tom Rogan
“There will be no negotiations whatsoever.” — Al-Shabab spokesman”
Let’s be clear. Westgate was attacked for two reasons. First, in its public character, the mall offered al-Shabab an opportunity to spread terror across all of Kenyan society. Second, packed with families, Westgate offered the terrorists hundreds of strategic pawns. In its killing sprees, al-Shabab seeks a new regional understanding: that its resolve is supreme above all others. That unless its adversaries yield, more Westgates will follow.
