From Momma's Front Porch: Al Shabaab vies with the Taliban in service to Iblis by murdering believers at Mogadishu hotel

Al Shabaab wants Somalia to be ruled by strict Sharia law. In other words, some perverted thralls to Iblis interpretation of Sharia. So these cowardly rogue street dogs murder in defiance of the Quran. They send a suicide bomber to kill himself at the entrance to the Nasahablod Two hotel. Gunman stormed the hotel. The car bomb damaged a hotel close by. The Banooda 1 restaurant was also wasdamaged.

Three militants have been reported to be captured. Two cowards blew themselves up when captured
The number of dead and injured will rise because the areas bombed have not been cleared. 29 have been killed. Twelve of the dead so far were police officers. The absolute most damning evidence was the fact they beheaded a Mrs. Nunow and shot her three children. That can not be explained away.

This gang of cowardly street dogs convinces weak willed individuals to help in doing profane acts in defiance of the Quran. Having a weak will does not mean they do not know right from wrong. They allowed the decision to be made for them. A weak will does not excuse any suicide bomber from the severe judgment of their Quran.

Al Shabaab should have read the Quran verses below. They are specific on the punishment that does apply to them. They should have also read the links below to understand how they lied to themselves and others

But let there be amongst you Traffic and trade by mutual good-will: Nor kill (or destroy) yourselves: for verily God hath been to you Most Merciful! If any do that in rancour and injustice, - soon shall we cast them into the Fire: And easy it is for God.
(Holy Quran, Chapter 4:29 - 4:30)

"Whoever kills a believer intentionally, their reward will be Hell, to abide therein forever, and the wrath and the curse of Allah are upon them, and a dreadful penalty is prepared for them." (Holy Quran, Chapter 4, Verse 93)

"Surely those who believe, and those who are Jews, and the Christians, and the Sabians -- whoever believes in God and the Last Day and does good, they shall have their reward from their Lord. And there will be no fear for them, nor shall they grieve" (2:62, 5:69, and many other verses).

Truth is unchanging. It is the same from the beginning of time. It will be the same at the end of time. At no time has Allah / God asked anyone to murder for him. That is the work of demons in human skin. Man does not need an intermediary to know the word of Allah / God. Doing what a false leader of a faith practice tells you will still land a person in hell. There will be no 72 virgins of any sex for any murderer or false leader. They will likely spend eternity as a sex toy for demons. Their view of their hellish paradise comes after their first bite of the fruit of zaqqum
