Absolutely horrific news:
The Somali Muslim extremist group Al Shabaab, which is linked to Al Qaeda, has decapitated seven people accused of being Christians and “spies” in the city of Baidoa, Somalia.
According to the AGI news agency, the extremists said they were applying Sharia law in murdering the seven people. Baidoa had been a stronghold for the transitional government that re-gained control of Somalia in 2006 with the help of Ethiopian troops.
Now the government is losing increasingly greater swaths of territory to fundamentalist groups that are beginning to appear in the country. Al Shabaab, which means “youth” in Arabic, had already decapitated three other people in the region last month.
I ask God to take up the souls of those poor, martyred people; to forgive the wicked fools who killed them; to strengthen our resolve that we shall fight this evil wherever it exists for as long as it takes to destroy it utterly. And I pray that I shall not let my anger get the better of me – that I will continue to believe that Moslems can live in peace and equity with non-Moslems.
But it is getting harder, all the time.
