Barbaric, why kill civilians?

MOGADISHU, Feb 6 (Reuters) - Several blasts at a popular open-air market in Somalia's capital Mogadishu killed at least 10 people and left many others injured on Tuesday, local residents told Reuters.

"I have counted 10 dead people and 15 others injured. My shop is completely destroyed. The blasts took place in four places in the centre of the market," Hassan Ali, a trader at the Bakara market told Reuters.
It was not immediately clear who was responsible for the blasts but Islamist group al Shabaab frequently carries out bombings in Somalia and elsewhere.

The government was not immediately available for comment.

Bakara, Mogadishu's largest market, teems with traders and is where most residents buy their food, clothes, medicine, electronics and other items daily.
Residents told Reuters several blasts went off, destroying many shops. Three nurses at Erdogan Hospital in Mogadishu told Reuters over 20 injured people had been brought to the facility.

Al Shabaab has been battling Somalia's federal government and an African Union (AU)-mandated peace keeping force for years seeking to establish a new government based on its own interpretation of sharia law.

It's Israel's fault. It's because of what's happening in Gaza.

For once, I agree with you. This has nothing to do with Israel.

But notice how nobody gives a shit? You know why? Because it has nothing to do with Israel.

More people are starving in the horn of Africa than is Gaza, but that's page 3 or 4...

Starvation is listed in categories with phase 5 being labelled the worst and closest to death.
80% of those in phase 5 across the planet live in Gaza, this stat was posted a month a go and food is still not getting in.

Gaza now the world’s worst hunger crisis and on the verge of famine - occupied Palestinian territory

I agree, but some people would like to try to make it about Israel.

You got that right and not only the horn. So many countries in Africa people are starving, brutal dictatorships, slavery. Its very sad.

If Muslims kill each other its not a problem, look at Syria. I think at least 400 thousand people died in Syria. If the Jews do the killing then they have a big problem.

That's because somebody is arming the Zionists for free, to the tune of billions of taxpayer dollars every year.
Stop arming them, stop funding them, stop vetoing every UN resolution against them, and I promise, I'll stop giving a shit.

That's not the reason, the reason is because Muslims hate the Jews that's why. When other Muslims do the killing, they don't give a shit.

True, wouldn't be nearly as deadly a conflict if they didn't have so damned many bombs...

Amen brother. Why do we have to deal with this Allah vs. Yahweh crap? Both tribes are more trouble than they're worth.

Yeah, we need conversion camps to turn them all into buddhists or something.
