Gunmen shoot dead a foreign nun in Mogadishu’s SOS hospital

Mogadishu 17, Sep. 06 ( Sh.M.Network) - Unidentified gunmen are reported to have raided Mogadishu’s SOS hospital and gunned down one of the foreign nuns in the hospital.

Reliable sources say the nun, thought to be an Italian, is confirmed dead. A bodyguard of the nun instantly died after he was fatally shot by two men reportedly armed with handguns.

Reports also indicate that the two assailants have been nabbed by armed guards within SOS hospital.

Six other suspects have also arrested as one of the Islamic Courts leaders Sheik Yusuf Indho-adde told reporters.

The motive of the attack remains unknown.

There has been a call for a demonstration against Pope Benedict XVI comment’s on Islam that sparked anger in all Muslim world by some Somali educated clerics. However, it is clearly not known if this fatal attack has anything to do with that.

This is the first time an Italian in SOS Somalia has been shot dead. The report over SOS attack is still sketchy as no reporters are allowed entry to SOS compound.

I take that back. The Vatican website finally came up. It's probably getting slammed with traffic.

I didn't see anything about a cyber attack on that site. Actually, I don't really know what the hell it was that was on that site. It is obviously an islamofacist discussion board, but I could not figure out what the hell they were talking about. After looking at the site for about 10 minutes I was barely able to find one coherrent sentence. It was like reading the nonsensical ramblings of psychopaths.
But, President Bush says that it's a great religion.

"MOGADISHU, Somalia - Two gunmen killed an Italian nun and her bodyguard at a hospital Sunday, and a security official for an Islamic militia controlling the capital speculated the attack was linked to worldwide Muslim anger over a speech by Pope Benedict XVI."

They said it aloud.

Sister Leonella Sgorbati of the Missionaries of the Consolation order, based in Nepi, Italy, near Rome, died in an operating room after being hit with three or four bullets in the chest, stomach and back, doctors said.

(A post worth repeating)

"The word “phobia” means an irrational fear. And there is no irrational fear of Islam. In fact, there has never been a more rational fear in the history of mankind. So the next time Americans are accused of being Islamophobes (it happens about every six seconds, so be ready), we can respond that the Islamophobe is a mythical creature. "

Tolerating Intolerance: How Political Correctness Protects Islam

Over half of all convicted rapists in Denmark are Muslims even though Muslim immigrants constitute hardly five percent of the Danish population. The situation is similar in other Scandinavian countries, too.[1, 2] France [3, 4, 5], Britain [6, 7], the Netherlands [8], and practically all European countries with large Muslim populations suffer at the hands of a small minority [9]. A significant portion of the immigrants has not only failed [10], but consciously refused [11], to assimilate to the western culture. Some of them are even plotting its destruction, calling for jihad against the alleged transgressors against Islam [12, 13, 14, 15, 16]. Many more are aching to impose Sharia on their new home countries. ..........................Read More Click Here (Warning graphic Images)
