The United States has exported Al Shabaab terrorist from our major cities to fight in Somalia. For sometime we have discussed helping our borthers and sisters in other countries. Now is the perfect time. Lets find a way as American christians to share our wealth and resources with people undergoing a sever trial. Radical Islam exports terror and we as believers can export peace and support.
"On August 4, a junior [al Shabaab] militant notified all the families of the victims that the four Christians had been beheaded for apostasy. He described the Christians as promoters of 'fitna,' a Muslim term for religious discord. The militant, who called himself 'Seiful Islam' ('the Sword of Islam'), told the families that the bodies will not be given to them 'as Somalia does not have cemeteries for infidels.'"
One eyewitness account said, 'All the four apostates were given an opportunity to return to Islam to be released but they all declined the generous offer.'"Earlier this year, seven other Somalis were beheaded, along with two sons of a village church leader. According to Compass Direct News, a California-based organization that also reports on incidents of persecution:-- The seven Somalis were publicly beheaded July 10 in the town of Bladoa for being deemed "Christians" and "spies" by al Shabaab (which means "the Youth" in Arabic).-- The two sons of a church leader were beheaded Feb. 21. Their father, Musa Mohammed Yusuf, 55, formerly led an underground church in the village of Yonday. He and his wife and a third son subsequently took refuge in Kenya.Somalia's Christians comprise less than 1 percent of the African nation's 9.8 million people. After the seven beheadings, the Associated Press noted, "Punishments such as stoning, amputations and beheadings are historically rare in Somalia, which traditionally practices moderate Sufi Islam. But a more extremist form of jihadi Salafist Islam with its roots in Saudi Arabia has taken root during the chaotic warfare of recent years, strengthened by a recent influx of hundreds of foreign fighters."
