I ask you by God, is this Islam?!!! I swear they are not Muslims or Christians but they are animal-like humans. I seek God’s forgiveness. If you asked any one of them to mention the first three names of the title of the Prophet, peace be upon him, he will not know and let this be a challenge.

It is not good for rebels to have such a bad law. It must be known that what is said now is being fulfilled.

This is good news to those of us who love Swahili and those learning this language. Continue with the same spirit and God bless you for educating us here in East Africa and the rest of the work.

vicious killings like the one stated above, is exactly why the whole african community needs to join effort and rid Somalia of this insurgents.They paint a very horrid picture of Somalia and their using religion as the motivating factor behind their brutality is absurd.Islam is a peaceful religion and such bandits as al-shabaab should be dealt with in the same way a jigger is dug from the foot and maybe their pacification will bring about stability to the Horn of Africa.

condolences to the affected, but it is clear that scripture is being fulfilled

Al-Shabaab are Jews. They are disbelievers holding misguided ideologies. They are defectors.

Al-Shabaab are defectors and they were said by the prophet. They have been in existence since the reign of the companion of the prophet and they hold misguided ideology.

Those who committed murder are not Al-Shabaab, that is just wanting to sully the religion of Islam. It is possible that it is just a ploy. The wise always say. "If you want to kill a dog first give him a bad name and thus justify the killing." We have already discovered those monkey tricks!

What are the problems they face in fleeing?

May God help them.

Al-Shabaab will be punished for the barbaric act they did. The cursed Al-Shabaab is ruthless even on women who anyone is expected to have mercy on them.

I PRAY TO GOD TO ELIMINATE AL-SHABAAB AS THEY WILL LAG US BEHIND OF OTHER PEOPLE OF GOD.

Peace be upon you! Are you sure that the ones killing people carelessly in Somalia and elsewhere are Al-Shabaab or Al-Qaeda? Because both groups are associated with the killing of innocent people. Let it not be that there are others using them without their knowledge! What I know is that if women hold their own celebration and it is a celebration that is not displeasing to Allah (the consumption of alcohol and other transgressions) then they have every right to celebrate. How is it then that they are killed? I am concerned that those are not Al-Shabaab and they are not even Muslims. There is nowhere in the Quran where it is allowed to kill someone without any right!

stop your fabrications you puppets of america. you infidels we are tired of your stupid news let them kill you you think if you say that we will support you. big hypocrites

Yes. I agree with them.

they are doing a good job according to the law established by Al-Shabaab members

This newsletter is good because it gives us fresh information regarding events in Africa and the World in general

Those of you who are not Muslims should not spread bad news about Islam. Leave it to the Muslims. They are there to clearly state the truth for everyone to understand. Doing more than that is dangerous as you incite a breach of peace. With respect and honor, I welcome you to Islam. I am telling you Islam is not the religion of Satan, supernatural beings or a bad religion as many of you are told or heard. Try and see it for yourself.

We thank you for keeping us updated. We clearly know how much your medium is used to send false information and formulated events to show bad image about Islam in the world. We are not surprised with Al-Shabaab more than we are surprised with any other bad news against Islam in this medium of yours.

The act is inhuman may Allah 4give dhem 4 they don know what they r doin.

This millitant group has become useless and all the efforts should be made to eradicate them

Nobody is ever forced to go anywhere nor is religion chosen for anyone. God will forever judge those animal humans. God save Somalia and her people amen

Somalia fears Al-Shabaab forces and there is fear in Mogadishu because the murderers were yet eliminated. Those people living in fear of Al-Shabaab and there is still some feelings of insecurity.

I think dix iz due islamic culture,religion n ideological differece

God never needs to be defended he defends himself. Now those who are using the sword to force people dah!!! They are making us ask ourselves questions for which nobody can get answers.

What they did is un Islamic and I hope they burn in suffer in this world and burn in Hell. Allah can never be so cruel as is being protrayed by these Fanatics.

joe mine just to say that act was inhuman and may jah forgive them.

put in more effort in looking for news so that people understand how the world is going

Even if it is forcing Somalis to follow the principles of the Islamic religion it shouldn't be like that by shedding innocent people's blood, if you are a murderer even if you pray until you have a mark on your face god will still refuse your prayer because you are going against his will.

I request the United Nations to intervene in the problem of Somalia

if it is true then it is god who knows everything but if it is false then it is also god who knows even more. May god save us all, but there are serious doubts with information like that because if you communicate through facebook and friends are saying something entirely different about that may god save you from that for perpetuating those things

The situation is frightening in Somalia, it should get to a point where we who support religion think what if that was being done to us (personally) what would the situation be like? We really need to change the way we think!! How can you be happy about the killing of human beings like you? Is there any religion that allows such things? May God have mercy on Somalis who are perishing even though they are innocent

It appears that your newspaper is of hypocrites

May God protect the people, country and the religion from Al-Shabaab because they are people hiding under the blanket of religion.

i belive that, one day the somali people will get peace like any other state in the all worlds where they can enjoy themself like any other humakind on earth. through the good job which was sarted by the armysom while being surpoted by their countrys, let the al-shabaab who are remaining in somalia land knows that their days are numberd. sorry; for those familys and their friends who were affected.

What Al-Shabaab are doing is good by obeying the law of God which he brought down through the religion of Islam which is a guide found in the Quran and the Hadith of the prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Insha’Allah God will continue to give them power so that Islam reigns over Somalia and throughout the world and God will exterminate those who don’t like Islam. AMEN.

IN MY OPINION THIS IS A GOOD ARTICLE BUT GETTING SAVED IS THE BEST RELIGION BECAUSE IT IS NOT AT ALL EASY TO GET A PERSON WHO IS BORN AGAIN WHO IS A TERRORIST, MIGRATE TO JESUS

what kind of religion of peace are we seeing. Is stupid foolish human that follows this inhuman religion. And the people are still folowing their diety.

I do not see any problem if those militia follow the law that is the Quran and Hadith because that is the guide for all Muslims

That was the problem of being under dictatorial rule like that of Al-Shabaab. These problems can on one side be caused by religious extremism especially Islam. Truly, those who have done the attacks are not Muslims because Islam does not support the killing of citizens who have done nothing.

Thus says the Lord God "This is the day of which I have spoken. No one shall strengthen himself who lives in his iniquity. The soul that sins shall die." These evil al-shabaab men shall die gruesome deaths, their guns shall explode in their arms and their bombs in their arms and they shall be driven mad by their evil thoughts. Thus says the Lord God "I will pour even into their bosoms and into the bosoms of their children their thoughts and their evil deeds and they shall be left neither root nor branch."
