Light and Shadow in fight against al-Shabaab

[mcnoch]

African forces have driven militants of al-Shabaab, an Islamist group linked to al-Qaida, out of their last urban stronghold in the port of Kismayo but there are signs the militants are already retaliating.

There were fears that al-Shabaab would unleash a wave of terror against Somalia's Western-backed neighbors in East Africa who have hammered the Islamists over the last year.

That's good news.

Our peace loving muslim brothers do NOT stop fighting until they are DEAD!

Which is just about the only way to win a war, kill them! "Love thy neighbour" does NOT work. Forcing them to surrender, or die, does.

PS,

America took Iwo Jima and a dozen other Pacific Islands by killing the japanese WHOLESALE. In order to win those battles, they had to keep on killing until one of 2 things happened, they surrendered or they died fighting

It cost 6000 US dead at Iwo Jima and 12,000 at Okinawa.

It will be the same when the Islam-Infidel War really gets going. It started about 1400 years ago.
