NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) Dozens of extremists attacked a Kenyan coastal town for hours, killing those who couldn't answer questions about Islam and those who didn't know the Somali language, officials and witnesses said Monday. At least 48 people were killed and two hotels were set on fire.
The assault in Mpeketoni began Sunday night as residents watched World Cup matches on TV and lasted until early Monday, with little resistance put up by Kenya's security forces. Cars and buildings still smoldered at daybreak.
Authorities blamed al-Shabab, Somalia's al-Qaida-linked terror group, who have vowed to carry out terror attacks to avenge the Kenyan military presence in Somali. Along with its Somali fighters, the group also has many Kenyan adherents.
Like the gunmen who attacked Nairobi's Westgate Mall last year, the Mpeketoni attackers gave life-or-death religious tests, a witness said, killing those who were not Muslim.
"They came to our house at around 8 p.m. and asked us in Swahili whether we were Muslims. My husband told them we were Christians and they shot him in the head and chest," said Anne Gathigi.
Another resident, John Waweru, said his two brothers were killed because the attackers did not like that the brothers did not speak Somali.

That's a sure-fire way to gain willing converts.
I don't understand how, between ISIS in Iraq and Al-Shahab in Kenya, locals aren't getting more involved in annihilating these animals.

Well..that's at least three American posters in this thread who have shown racism and hated of another religion
Happens every day though, don't it
Been waiting for 9 years to see an example of this coming from a Muslim poster
It's masked by taqiyya. They won't tell you their intentions until their scimitar is at your throat.
At least I'm straight forward enough to tell you I hate you.

How many Jihadists post here? They're busy in tribal regions doing tribal things like in the OP's news article.
The country in the world most faithful to the values of the Koran is Ireland according to an Iranian-born academic at George Washingon University in the US. Next are Denmark, Sweden and the UK.
Not a single majority Muslim country made the top 25 and no Arab country is in the top 50.

don`t be gay about it........sheese,,...If that's not acceptable to you, then fuck you.
Where does racism come into this? I hate the values within Islam that result in abominations like al-Shabaab and ISIS, and make no secret of it.
If that's not acceptable to you, then fuck you.
The values within Islam? Yet they usually target other Muslims?

They also hate multiculturalism, just like you
