Abu Ayman,
We know its a day packed with emotions, sorrow and grieving. We have Kenyan friends too, but Islam is very clear on children, women and innocents in war. And whoever does contrary is clearly not following it. Islam DOESN’T teach such, its a religion of peace NO one can tolerate such acts in d name of Islam, we are meant to live together as one Moslems and Christians o n this globe peaceful, my sis we all condemn such acts.
Take for eg PKK in American history. Were they employees of the xtians? What of the killings in iraq libya Afghanistan? Who perpetrated that? The xtianised Americans, the British, the french to mention but a few.
If we think along religion lines then we are thinking emotionally. These guys act mostly out of their bad nature as humans before they act as Muslims. No one is born into a religion, we can choose whatever religion to belong to hence you hear of conversions. So if we analyse the individual from a moral and humanitarian point of view, the we better understand the situation. Religious talk will further subdivide you and cloud your understanding.
what happened in Kenya is happening to Muslims in Myanmar or Burma and it happened in Kashmir not long years ago. the terrorists in Nairobi might have used Islam as a criteria but not the core cause. we need to look at the underlying factors other than the method of elimination.Judge those guys as individuals not from a religious point of view. If you knew the basics of criminal psychology, then you would understand me more than clear. Always in crime complexities we look deeper than on surface. aka you need to enter the criminal mind and think from that angle. these guys want Kenya to withdraw from Mogadishu
what is the real interest of Kenya in the somali conflict? what has Kenya to gain running a conflict with somalis (alshabab or not)? i hope by kenya pushing for a full scale military intervention in the Somali conflict was the right move. what is the future like for Kenya?

Press Release by THE SUPREME COUNCIL OF KENYA MUSLIMS…
Ladies and Gentlemen, today is indeed another dark day in the history of Kenya. Suspected terrorist took over Westgate Mall killing innocent people including women and children.
The Supreme Council of Kenya Muslims will tomorrow (Today) hold a crisis meeting on this issue.
We call upon Muslim leaders all over the Country to join the rest of Kenyans as the country mourns and pray for the injured.
On behave of SUPKEM’s leadership, we send our condolences to families and friends of those who were killed and pray for a quick recovery for the injured.‘It is Allah’s that takes and it is He that gives, and He prescribes a certain destiny for every matter.’
Islam greatly encourages Muslims to console one another in times of grief to reduce the pain of sorrow. The Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) promised a great reward for it. He said:
“Whosoever consoles a person afflicted with grief receives his selfsame reward” [Al-Tirmidhi and ibn Majah] and, “Whosoever consoles someone going through a difficult time, Allah will clothe him with the robes of honor on the day of Judgment” [Reported by Ibn Majah].
