Decentralized Islamic terror


The contours of African nations have been shaped by ethnic and tribal factors, as well as historical influences and geographical and climatic boundaries. The countries of Africa have also been influenced by the colonial and religious heritage, which molded their collective identities in the modern age.

A part of this heritage is buried in the remnants of Christian missions, which bequeathed their legacy to the Christian communities spread across the continent that live alongside Muslim populations. These latter communities, most of which are poor, are undergoing a process of radicalization, fostered by the penetration of and exhortations to religiosity by Islamic proselytizers. These imams belong mainly to al-Qaida-affiliated terrorist organizations, which aspire to seal their occupation of Africa and cement the Islamization of its inhabitants.


This inter-religious struggle -- fanned by the Muslim Brotherhood-indoctrinated incitement of religious sheikhs -- puts these communities, residing in divided nations and comprising millions of Christians, on the defensive. The events at the shopping center in Nairobi, Kenya are part of a longer chain of terrorist attacks, carried out within the framework of a religious war being waged by al-Qaida-affiliates against Christians to eradicate their communities while simultaneously expanding their control across the African "puzzle." In the Kenyan case, Somali, Islamist terrorists penetrated deep into the heart of Kenya, which has a majority Christian community living alongside a largely impoverished and embittered Muslim minority.
The murderous fingerprints of the Muslim Brotherhood's terrorist doctrine -- grown on the Egyptian petri dish (and squashed recently by Col. Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi and his people) -- pave the way for an advance. Such headway is the ultimate ambition of jihadist organizations, progenies of the Brotherhood, namely to spread across the globe, especially in Asia and Africa. These areas are defined by the Brothers as the "close enemy;" they are a priority for Islamic terror.
Jihadist movements derived from the Muslim Brotherhood are oriented from the beaches of Morocco and North Africa -- Libya, Tunisia and Algeria -- to Egypt, Jordan, Syria and eventually Turkey; from Sudan and Somalia by way of Yemen and Iraq, all the way to Pakistan and Afghanistan. Each zone is bled once it is decided that it will become an Islamic emirate, ultimately joining the global, Islamic caliphate.
The Muslim Brotherhood doctrine does not need international, centralized leadership to implement its campaign of terror. Like the story of Goethe or creation in the Paul Dukas musical "The Sorcerer's Apprentice": each Islamic terrorist is a fragment of the same fractured broom, each operates off the same violent code, all with the same goal: imposing Islam on the world by force.
The African continent is easy prey. Resource-rich states are predisposed to attempts at overthrow by political and economic factors across the globe -- by the wealthy and the powerful. Such elements do not shy away from employing corruption and bribery to co-opt Africa's riches.
Alongside Western governments and massive corporations, remnants of Chinese and Iranian meddling are evident. These countries' motives -- creating chaos -- is more hidden than visible.
Everyone is digging rapaciously into the tortured soils of Africa, sweeping them clean of uranium and other damaging materials. They strip the lands of their valuable minerals with the assistance of corrupted ministers from the continent's poverty-stricken nations. Everyone is celebrating; the Africans are hungry and sick.
Bold mobility in the name of jihad is one of the main characteristics of Islamic terror's activities. Within the framework of such portability (such as in Syria), al-Shabab, the Somali Islamic terrorist group that launched the attack in Nairobi, struck the Westgate shopping center -- which is partly owned by Jews. The Somali president's evasive statements failed to cover up the terrible aspect of the attack, which is a process of "selection."
Somali terrorists demand "selection." They call on their fellow Muslims to pursue and kill Christians and other infidels (Jews). This brings to mind the selection of Jews by former Ugandan President Idi Amin Dada and Palestinians on the eve of Operation Entebbe, or the selection of Jews by Nazis in the extermination camps.
Burning churches in the Middle East -- especially in Egypt -- underlines this trend of selection. Islamic terror is not content selecting Jews alone. The message to U.S. President Barack Obama is clear: If you flee terrorism, it will follow you home
