Condolences to the people of Kenta!

Our condolences to the people of Kenya for a tragic terrorist shooting spree at Westgate Mall 21th September 2013, We (Somali) people as a whole strongly condemn in the strongest terms acts of cold blooded murder committed by people claiming to do so in the name of Allah, we are not only condemning as Somalis, Muslim, or Africans but as a human beings. Terrorism has no religion/color or race and to let you know this is not Islam. Islam is not responsible for this violence.
Don't call them Islamist terrorists & don't try to stereotype Muslims.
Allah's mercy be on all those who suffered.
Islam is for peace, equality, brotherhood, respect and tolerance.

Let me give a good example a funeral of a Jew passed before Prophet Muhammad [peace and blessings be upon him], as a sign of respect he stood up. In doing this, he showed respect and shared in the feeling of sorrow with Jewish family and community. "Why did you stand up for a Jewish funeral?" he was asked. The Prophet replied: "Is it not a human soul?".

The Prophet was the best of all the people in character

The Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) taught love, kindness and compassion to his people, and was seen to be the most loving, kind, and compassionate of all of them.

Whoever said Al-Shabaab will only kill non-Muslims is a racist.
Because Turkey is trying to help Somalia, Al-Shabaab is trying to kill Turks. Aren't Turks Muslims as well? 

If you hate someone because they are different to you by race/religion, then your life will end like these racists (Hitler, Milosevic).

AlShabab don't represent 1 billion Muslims. They don't even represent Somalis. For assuming they do, you represent ignorance.

Quran taught us the Value of Human life " Killing one human is equal to killing the entire human race: EVERY human, whatever its age, gender, nationality, race, social status, history, worldview or religion, isn't just equal to mankind (al-Nāss), but is equal to the ENTIRE human race together (al-Nāss jamiy'ān), from the first human that has lived untill the last'. 

I wish AlShabab/Al-Qaeda had read the Quran! 

All Somalia people are not Alshabab.
Alshabab are not Muslims neither Somalis, neither have Somali Culture, they don't know anything about Islam. Somalia terrorists have no religion, no country either. 

Alshabab is global terror organization, not merely Somalis. Their ranks and file include all east African region and beyond. 
Generalising/blaming an entire community is not progress. Alshaabab doesn't represent us (Somalia) nor even our views. 

Somali people have already been through tough times I hope this doesnt effect the Somalis in Kenya

My message to Kenyans Alshabab showed you how much they hate Kenyans but we Somalis love each and everyone of you and always will.

Al-Shabaab losing territory and revenue in Somalia: a headline-grabbing foreign attack perhaps a sign of weakness rather than strength.

As we all know the largest number of people that have been affected in terms of Alshabab's violent attacks are Somalis. 

I personally believe that the main reason#Alshabab was stablished is to eliminate the name, dignity and existence of Somali the face of the earth.

People who use religion or previous grievances justify a twisted and self-serving ideology do so of their own choosing.

Our hearts are with the victims and their loved ones. We stand with the people of Kenya. We call on all of the world to put Kenya in their prayers. We (Somali People) stand with you firm and bravely against terrorism.
