From Memri (hat tip: Atlas Shrugs):
“Islamic rule from Alaska and Chile to South Africa, and from Japan to Russia. Beware, we are coming.”
Regular readers will remember that Al Shabab is the Islamist group thought to be recruiting in the US and responsible for luring Somali refugees from their American homes and mosques to terrorist training in Somalia—-you know those young fellows we gave an opportunity to make better lives for themselves. The bright young men that we now fear might be coming back!
Other choice morsels from Memri ( TV reports on the Somali terror organization Shabab Al-Mujahideen, which aired on Al-Jazeera TV and Al-ArabiyaTV in November and December 2008 ):
“One of the main principles of the Shabab Al-Mujahideen is to view all Muslims as Somalis, and so, many foreign fighters have joined their ranks.”
[….]
“We are a people chosen by Allah to spread the Islamic shari’a throughout Somalia.”
[….]
“… while the name of the Prophet Muhammad is being dragged down, and the face of the [Islamic] nation is being dragged down, and the face of Islam is being dragged down, and so on. But me, I’ll tell you one thing. I’ll put a bullet in the head of the infidels, and I’m ready to do it. Allah willing, the ‘saved sect’ will lie in wait for each and every dog the infidels bring, and the infidels who bring cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad. We will put bullets in their heads. Allah willing, we will bomb ourselves. Each and every place you find them. Allah Akbar.”
[….]
“Shabab Al-Mujahideen is an Islamist-Salafi movement that wants to implement shari’a completely – every single element of it. That’s what the movement stands for.”
[….]
“Our objectives, by the grace of God, are to see the return of the Islamic Caliphate, the last of which was the Ottoman empire that collapsed in the 1920s. We want to bring that system back and govern the world with God’s law.
I’m taking them at their word—they want to throw the West into hell. That’s why I said here, Obama and Hillary can go to Somalia to reason with the heathens, but let’s keep all of our military men and women out of there. And, let’s just make very sure they don’t come here!
Postscript: Al Shabab is also responsible for the barbaric stoning of a young girl a few months ago.
