Two Minnesota women, Amina Farah Ali and Hawo Mohamed Hassan, accused of funneling money to a terror group in Somalia, talked about collecting money for al-Shabab, supporting fighters instead of other charities and the possibility that FBI was listening in on their conversations, according to hours of recorded phone calls played for jurors. The calls include recordings […]
Amina Farah Ali and Hawo Mohamed Hassan (pictured) were not even subtle about raising money for Jihad in Somalia. Evidently, they went door to door asking for donations for the Al Qaeda-affiliated Jihadist terror group Al Shabaab. Al Shabaab is the group that recently set off a car bomb in Somalia that killed 100 or more […]
Al-Shabaab has become a top-tier terrorist organization from its extensive revenues. Their wealth is largely based on Islamic taxes that al-Shabaab imposes in accordance with the Koran. It is following the same broad-based sharia revenue model that launched the Taliban from being an obscure students’ movement into an multinational financial hegemon. http://moneyjihad.wordpress.com/2011/08/16/al-shabaab-economic-powerhouse/
Kenyan Tourism Minister Accused of Funding Jihad
Najib Balala is the Minister of Tourism in Kenya and, by all accounts, a gregarious, ambitious public official. He was educated in a US university in Africa and he professes to be a devout Muslim. Recently, he has come under fire for possible financial arrangements in which donations to a controversial mosque may be finding […]
Al-Qaeda linked Al-Shabaab Jihadists in Somalia have ordered school teachers in the Middle Shabelle region to register their students within 10 days in a bid that militants want to push their fund raising program forward. Sheik Mohamed Abu Yahya, an Al-Shabaab commander in charge of finance, told school teachers in the region’s provincial capital Jowhar […]
14 Indicted by Justice Department for Supporting Al Qaeda-affiliated Al Shabaab
“The two Jihadists arrested this week—females who were naturalized U.S. citizens and residents of Minnesota—have been charged with raising money to support al Shabaab through door-to-door solicitations and teleconferences in Somali Muslim communities in Minnesota and other locations in the U.S. and Canada. The Justice Department claims that in some cases, funds were raised under […]
The Global Threat of Shariah
Ever so often it’s useful to remind ourselves of the fact that Shariah isn’t just some abstract, remote system isolated to a few Middle Eastern nations. It’s a global threat. We’ve recently seen numerous reports of Shariah courts operating in Britain. We’ve recently witnessed a Jihadi organization hold a conference in Chicago to support the […]
Recently, the parliament of the failed state of Somalia voted in favor of Shariah law in that hapless country. Some in the West have actually welcomed the move in the name of “stability.” Ironically, this was the exact same reaction that some in the West–including the US State Department– had when the Taliban took over […]
In the wake of the brilliant rescue by US Navy SEALs of a US hostage held by Somali pirates over the weekend, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates has sounded a decidedly defeatist tone unbecoming his high office, but rather typical, unfortunately, of his own philosophy. Gates says that there is basically no solution to the […]
Recently in Somalia, that beleaguered country’s newest leader attempted to appease Jihadists there by agreeing to impose Shariah. What did he get for his troubles? A threat from Osama Bin Laden (or a voice claiming to be that of Osama Bin Laden) urging his overthrow because he delayed the imposition of Shariah and is thus […]
Despite efforts to alert the world to the perils of Shariah, this barbaric doctrine is actually continuing to spread. Two weeks ago, Pakistan appeased the Taliban by allowing them to impose Shariah in the Swat Valley of northwest Pakistan. In Chechnya the region is now basically ruled by Shariah. And just over a week ago, […]
Evidently Saudi Arabia doesn’t understand Islam
While reading the morning news on the internet about an hour ago, we came across an article in The Denver Post entitled Trying to Understand More About Islam’s Teachings, by Gail Schoettler, a former Lt. Governor of Colorado and U.S. ambassador. http://www.denverpost.com/opinion/ci_11682250 Ms. Schoettler recalls the horrific case in which the Islamic Courts in Somalia executed […]
The true nature of Shariah
Though this blog is dedicated to Shariah-Compliant Finance, no discussion of Shariah-Compliant Finance can be complete without constant reminders of the brutal, primitive doctrine which underlies Shariah-Compliant Finance. Shariah is an all-encompassing code of life that covers and applies to all aspects of Islamic individuals, culture, society, finance and law. The nations that apply Shariah […]
Posted: 28 Nov 2008 03:51 PM CST The Indian navy just got done sinking a pirated fishing vessel that still had the captured crew tied up below deck. Definitely an awkward move on the IN’s part – but more or less inevitable given how they’ve been straining against the least of Western legal niceties: Are […]
Pirate Victims Finance More Attacks With $100 Million in Ransom By Robin Stringer, Gregory Viscusi and Alaric Nightingale Nov. 24 (Bloomberg) — A few years ago, Somali pirates menacing Africa’s east coast sometimes demanded tens of thousands of dollars for the safe return of a hijacked vessel and crew. Now they often seek $1 […]

Somalis grow fearful of Islamists By Mohamed Mohamed BBC Somali Service Public anger at the recent stoning of a 13-year-old girl in Somalia shows the growing resentment towards radical Islamists who have gained control of much of the south and centre of the country. Insurgents from the militant group al-Shabab are seen as authoritarian and […]
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7694397.stm Once again, we have a stark example of sharia in actual practice. We should all realize that sharia is a doctrine that is meant to be followed by all faithful Muslims. Sharia is not meant to be adhered to in some instances, such as finance, and ignored in others, like law. Allowing this barbaric […]
This is sharia at work. Apostasy is punishable by death under sharia and the Al Qaeda-affiliated Islamic Courts in Somalia, who are behind most of the violence there, are adherents to sharia… continue reading at http://compassdirect.org/en/display.php?page=news&lang=en&length=long&idelement=5661&backpage=summaries&critere=&countryname=&rowcur
