Kenyan Muslim Who Shielded Christians From Terrorists Attack Dies by OKDnigeria: 8:39pm On Jan 29, 2016 |
"We are brothers" That's what Salah Farah told Al-Shabaab gunmen who ambushed a bus he was riding in the Kenyan county of northeast Mandera in late December. The gunmen said they were going to kill Christian passengers. "They told us if you are a Muslim, we are safe," he then recalled to the BBC . But Farah and other Muslims on the bus stood up to the terrorists and risked their lives by shielding the Christians. Farah was shot. Over the past several weeks, he has seemed in good spirits, talking to reporters and his family. But on Monday, during surgery, he died. The school teacher's words of peace and brotherhood are being praised this week in international news coverage. "People should live peacefully together," he told Voice of America earlier this month. "We are brothers. It's only the religion that is the difference, so I ask my brother Muslims to take care of the Christians so that the Christians also take care of us. ... And let us help one another and let us live together peacefully." Farah's body was flown on a police helicopter to his home where he was buried. Many gathered at his graveside, wept and prayed. His wife, Dunia Mohamed, is nine months pregnant. They have four children. Farah was his family's primary breadwinner. The couple also lived other family members including his elderly parents. His mother, Amina Sabdow, was unable to speak when she heard her son had died. The Kenya teachers commission sent condolences and vowed to help the family financially. Mandera County Gov. Ali Ibrahim Roba also promised to help Dunia and provide an education for the children. Farah was a role model, they said. Al-Shabaab emerged largely because of weak government and law enforcement in Somalia. Most recently a small faction of the group pledged allegiance to ISIS . Al-Shabaab is largely a militant Somali jihadi insurgency that the United States designated as a foreign terrorist organization in March 2008. Their stated goal is to turn Somalia into a fundamentalist Islamic state, according to the Council on Foreign Relations edition.cnn.com/2016/01/20/world/kenyan-shielded-christians-dies-al-shabaab/index.html |

arewafederation:Ameen. Indeed he is a true definition of a hero, not some corrupt-filled drunkard being bandied around as a hero. The word, hero, is sacred, and shouldn't be abused. |

This thread is empty and isolated as expected. But let the title be changed to "A Kenya Muslim who killed many Christians dies", you'll see the multitude of people that will gather here to pour expletives on him, his religion and his God. Sometimes I wonder how the heart of man could be so small but could harbour such humongous bitterness and antagonism. Hmmmmn. 3 Likes |
