The terrorists that attacked Kenya's Westgate mall are not of Islam !

I begin this post by first sending my deepest condolences to those who lost their loved ones in this tragedy and I pray to God that he may give you strength. For the injured I pray for you a quick recovery. For those with loved ones still under the terrorist hands, take heart for God is with them. I commend those who have waited in the long lines to donate blood in order to save lives, those that have contributed in the fundraising to aid the affected ( 40 M plus by the time this post was written) , those that have donated food to the law enforcement officers and those that have been praying for the affected. It is now the third day now since the Westgate mall was attacked by gang men, killing about 70 innocent civilians and injuring close to 200. Al Shabaab has of course confirmed responsibility for the attack. By the time of writing this article the defense forces are close to bringing the situation to a close. Al Shabaab aim for unleashing this attack is to force Kenya to withdraw troops from Somalia that were sent to liberate the country from this evil terror group. There was an attempt to start religious hatred, division , indifferences and war in the country, which has of course failed countless times. Kenya is a land of tolerant, peaceful, generous, caring, warm, loving and united people. Religion is never and will ever be an issue in Kenya! Wakajaribu kwengine!! We will never be separate or discriminate along religious or racial lines in this great country. I would like also to emphasis and insist that Islam (modern Islam) does not support terrorist or Jihadist activities and those that do so are opportunists that have twisted and doctored the Qur'an and Islamic doctrine to suit their evil and satanic ways. These are not true Muslims! Their religion is not Islam for Islam is a religion of peace,love and goodwill, it is a religion of Brotherhood, it is a religion that fights for the oppressed, it is a religion of tolerance, a religion of equality, a religion that stands for good and a religion that values human life for all life comes from God. These terrorists are of another religion , not Islam ! Their doctrine is not of Islam. Theirs is a past, primitive, doctored and evil doctrine and religion that is nowhere near Islam. As we continue to mourn for the departed and hope for the best, let us unite more than ever before. Let us show our solidarity as a people that can't be shaken. As people that don't fear. As a people that isn't intimated by cowards. As a people united under one God that created us. A people that will always stand and fight for the righteous. This evil invaded our borders and we pursued it. It has done so again and this time there have stepped on the wrong. We won't stop until Somali is liberated. We won't stop until East Africa is liberated. We won't stop until the whole world is liberated from terrorism. This unfortunate tragedy is the second worst terrorist attack since the 1998 bombing of the American Embassy that left about 200 dead and hundreds injured. But lest we forget, our country is neither divided by religious lines nor racial.. It is divided and in fact deeply divided on tribal lines. We insult each other on social media everyday. The amount of hate speech on social media is so much it leaks. We can point an accusing finger at these terrorists for the 70 deaths they have caused and call them savages, barbarians,animals, heartless!! .. but unfortunately and sadly, we are no different. We managed to kill more than a thousand of our own! No amount of terrorism even in Iraq can ever achieve that! May God have mercy on us and change our ways. Tafakari hayo..
