'You’re a very bad man' how 4yr old confronted Kenyan mall gunman who gave him chocolate & begged for forgiveness

A four-year-old British boy caught up in the Kenya mall massacre showed astonishing bravery by confronting a marauding gunman who ended up begging for his forgiveness, UK Daily Mail reports.
Elliot Prior, from Windsor, Berkshire, told one of the terrorists that he was a 'very bad man' as he protected his mother, Amber, who had been shot in the leg, and six-year-old sister Amelie. Incredibly, the attacker took pity on the family and bizarrely handed the children Mars bars before telling them: 'Please forgive me, we are not monsters.'
His story emerged as sporadic gunfire continued to ring out from inside the mall early today as Kenyan security forces battled Al Qaeda-linked terrorists into a fourth day.
Despite Kenyan police assurances that they had taken control of the building, a security expert with contacts inside the mall said at least 10 hostages were still being held by a band of attackers, possibly as many as 13.
(Picture above) 4 year old Elliot and his sister Amelie hold Mars bars next to a dead body outside the Westgate mall after being given the chocolate by a gunman who spared their lives. Continue..



Kenya's foreign minister Amina Mohamed said 'two or three' Americans and one British woman were among those who attacked the Westgate shopping mall in Nairobi.
His mother, Amber, told of her family’s terrifying escape from Al Shabaab terrorists who butchered 62 people in the Nairobi shopping centre.
The film producer had been queuing to buy milk in Nairobi's Westgate Shopping Centre when the militants struck.
She hid under a cold meat counter in the Nakumatt supermarket for an hour-and-a-half with her children beneath her before terrorists finally found them and shot her in the thigh.


Elliot's uncle, Alex Coutts, told The Sun: 'They had a lucky escape. The terrorists said if any of the kids were alive in the supermarket they could leave. 'Amber made the decision to stand up and say "yes".'
'Then Elliot started arguing with them and called them bad men. He was very brave.'

A
fter discovering the advertising producer was of French origin, the men began to plead with her and claimed that the Muslim faith ‘was not a bad one’.‘He told me I had to change my religion to Islam and said “do you forgive us? Do you forgive us?’, the mother told The Independent.
‘Naturally, I was going to say whatever they wanted and they let us go’. 

Bizarrely, the terrorists handed the children Mars bars before they fled with two other children, including a 12-year-old boy who had at first refused to leave his dead mother. 

The fate of 20 others who had taken refuge under the meat counter is unknown.
The family’s escape is particularly astonishing in light of the indiscriminate slaughter of men, women and children throughout the mall after Al Shabaab launched their assault on Saturday.

    5. Islam doesn't support the killing of innocent souls. The act at the mall is wrong and barbaric. Islam is against it and a lot of islamic organizations have condemned it. So it is a similitude of good and bad in any category. Hope you all can think and understand. Stop generalizing. If you still can't discern this, then you are exercising a bad heart. #FacT

      We all need to join hands and fight against such bad acts and imminent ones.

  24. Of course they will give the terrorist a human face or human side after all they have disclosed that Americans and British citizens as well as others were involved. Do not be surprised to hear more sobbing stories like these. If they were all Somalian or Arabs it would have been reported differently just typical western media propaganda and we are already falling for it. I do not support the actions of these terrorists but we as Africans must recognize the bigger terrorist who is America. If you like do not publish this but the truth will come out someday.

  45. So sad to see episodes like this as a kid. It's bad enough watching it as a movie but this was real -- his (Elliot) young mind could see that.

    I had a similar experience when I was smaller in 1999. The federal government have declared war on Ijaw youths. One could get shot at for simply speaking the language. There was tension everywhere.

    Then my parents and I lived in Yenagoa close to a place known as 'Black Market'. It was an area known for it's contraband goods, cultist activities and weapon sale. You could buy guns cheaply if you knew the right source. But I knew, at that time, it was run by mostly the Urhobos, Isokos, and Igbos -- there was hardly any Ijaw traders around.

    When the soldiers descended on Black market. They burnt all the shops including the genuine ones, raped women, and any Ijaw person seen around the area was beaten with an inch of his life hanging on the balance.

    Then I was just 9. A soldier was dragging what seemed to be a soon-to-be-corpse around the corner of our compound. As kids we ran outside to have a glimpse of the action. Blood gushed out from every part of the abused's body. He only repeated mono-syllables that to us kids sounded incoherent.

    Suddenly, the soldier looked up and pointed his AK-47 at us. Terrified, my friends ran into the compound, but I froze. At gazed at the man with the big gun pointed in my direction. For a split second, my entire life flashed before my eyes. So I wasn't going to have sex before I died after all.

    The soldier lowered his gun and went about his business. I ran into my compound, used a block to hold the gate cause the lock had issues, the went into the room and hid myself under the bed.

    Well, that was the story of the cowardly boy. This report just brought those memories back.

    And P.S. I've had sex, but I still have enough excuses on why I shouldn't die if I'm at all pointed at again.

If u hear of a suicide bombing...its definitely done by a muslim. Stop talking shit and instead condemn what ur muslim brothers are doing in the name of ur god. I'm yet to hear of an imam publicly condemning islamic terrorists. And stop preaching anti american crap...nobody cares! The world has enough problems. Your islamic terrorists brothers carry themselves to america, train themselves in american colleges and then blow up american citizens and call it jihad. These guys are either deluded or cursed. What war are they fighting? If u hate the non-muslim world so much why not school and live in saudi arabia and leave the rest of us alone? Why can't we have peace??

  53. So so touching. The muslims amazed me. Why would u force people to join your religion? If the god they serve is a true God they don't need force. I thank God for being xtian. A religion that says love your neighbour as yourself. If you do u will never want to kill. Muslims should go and read the bible and quran very well. They will be able to know the difference between Jesus and Mohammed and that Jesus Christ is a peaceful God that does not want anyone to shed blood and does not need any human to fight for him. He can fight for himself and judgement is his not ours.

    I see some people have come here to argue that islam is the best religion and that christianity is the bad one. To those people all I can say is nobody cares about that. As a christian I understand it is your divine right to worship your god in peace as it is my right to go shopping or to the movies or to church without fear that one fanatic will come and kill me in the name of islam. You feel because I'm not muslim that I have no right to live in peace? Don't be silly abeg. You say it was a retaliation attack? Congratulations to u! They killed children and unarmed men....very brave indeed. To point a gun at an unarmed man is easy na. Go and feed the poor and look after the sick. Go out and be kind to people and leave vengeance alone. The mere fact u support senseless killing shows how brainwashed you are. I sincerely pray that you one day find yourself and your entire family in a situation such as this one. So that you can experience first hand the terror you expect others to endure at the hands of your terrorist brothers. And I pray u survive it so that u can learn to have empathy and compassion for other human beings.
    When you talk like you have no heart you disrespect your own faith. I don't need to insult islam...terrorists are doing a fine job of that themselves and any muslim who thinks senseless killing is okay is a disgrace to humanity cos you have no right to keep others in fear. God help all who use religion to cover up their blood thirsty nature!

  81. Idiots.
    Keep the hatred going.
    Until y'all realize RELIGION is an illusion.
    Eyi werey yii. No be idols una dae worship before the white man came to brainwash y'all.
    Aye yin o wun mi rara.
    Xtians be forming innocent.
    Nigerian has the highest number of churches yes peace eludes us.
    Pastors making money, fighting over parcels of land.
    Them be seeking powers from evil sources to extort the congregation.
    Them alfas be doing rituals for people under the guise of 'aajo'.
    Them be invoking spirits in the name of being powerful.
    Tell me the difference between y'all and atheists.
    Judge not my annoited but y'all are so quick to judge your fellow human beings.
    Especially the xtians.
    The muslims ain't innocent either.
    But to be factual, i have never seen muslims condemning the xtians bitterly on this blog.
    Show me a post where they did and i'd swallow back my words.
    Woh, i'm tired.
    The earlier y'all wake up from your slumber, the better.
    Remember on the day of judgement, HE would not ask you which religion you practised.
    Curse me if you like.

  82. This is no time for blame games! (2chron7:13-14) “When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain(harsh economy), or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people(terrorists), 14 if my people, who are called by my name (christians), will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

    Let us therefore repent of all evil as sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from our lips (col3:5&8)

    Until then can God truly look down and heal our Lands. May He strenghten us as we begin today to seek His face..Amen.

  83. Heart wrenching. The case of this Westgate mall is absolutely ridiclous. I am short of words and I can just imagine what this means with the people tropping in and out of a mall on a saturday like The Palms. What could innocent citizens have done to these callous men who claim to be doing the right thing... Absolutely dishearting! Read maore @ chitastruth.wordpress.com

  84. I've been reading comments on the Kenya attack posts and all I see is everybody cursing Muslims..Nobody is praying for the family of the dead.Too bad
    Terrorists aren't Muslims as far as I am concerned because if you are a real muslim, you wouldn't even try to do this. Islam is a religion of PEACE and I stand by my faith and these heartless terrorists won't take that from me and all other true Muslims
    And this is for the Christians, Learn to follow ur scriptures and stop JUDGING other people.
    SALAM

  86. What Jihad IS NOT!
    If you open a modern Oxford
    English dictionary, you would
    probably
    find the definition of Jihad as
    “a holy war undertaken by
    Muslims against
    non-believers”. This is a very
    poor definition. Before trying to
    define what
    Jihad is, we should first define
    what it is NOT.
    Jihad is NOT Holy War
    Jihad is NOT blowing up one's
    self (Suicide is a sin in Islam)
    Jihad is NOT killing innocent
    people
    Jihad is NOT flying a plane into a
    building packed with civilians
    Jihad is NOT fighting out of
    anger and hatred
    Jihad is NOT killing others just
    because they don't agree with
    you
    Jihad is NOT killing others just
    because they are not Muslims
    The real meaning of
    Jihad
    Jihad is an Arabic word from the
    root Jee Ha Da. It literally means
    to
    struggle or strive. Jihad is
    struggling or striving in the way
    or sake of
    Allah. Jihad takes a very
    important status in the doctrine
    of Islam and is
    one of the basic duties for every
    Muslim.
    Though, it has nothing
    whatsoever to do with the term
    Holy War. Such
    a term, or its equivalent
    doesn't exist in the Islamic
    doctrine. The Christian
    Crusaders in the mid-ages
    invented this ideology of Holy
    War.
    There is nothing"Holy"
    about wars. Wars only involve
    killings and disasters!
    Jihad has many forms,
    Jihad of the Heart/Soul
    Jihad of the heart/soul; in
    Arabic: jihad bin nafs/qalb. It is
    referred as
    “the greater Jihad” (al-jihad
    al-akbar).
    It is one's inner struggle of
    good against evil; refraining
    oneself from the
    whispers of Shaitan (Satan).
    This process involves allowing
    Islam to transform one's soul
    to achieving
    internal peace; and forgoing the
    hatred and anger.
    “Jihad is ordained for you
    (Muslims) though you dislike it,
    and it may
    be that you dislike a thing which
    is good for you and that you like
    a
    thing which is bad for you. Allah
    knows but you do not know.”
    {Quran, Surah 2: Al-Baqarah, Verse 216; Mohsin
    Translation}
    Jihad by the tongue
    Jihad by the tongue; in Arabic:
    jihad bil lisan.
    It is defending Islam and
    spreading Islam by scholarly
    lectures, speeches
    and debates. It often overlaps
    with Da'awah (invitation to
    Islam, or
    spreading the message of
    Islam).
    In The Last Sermon, Prophet
    Mohammed (peace be upon
    him) asked the
    listeners whether he has passed
    on the message to them; and
    they
    confirmed affirmatively.
    Then the Messenger of Allah
    ordered all those present today
    to pass on
    the same message to those who
    are not here today; and the last
    person to
    hear the message should
    understand it better than the
    people here.
    Jihad by the pen/
    knowledge
    Jihad by the pen/knowledge; in
    Arabic: jihad bil qalam/ilm.
    This form of Jihad involves
    scholarly research of Islam in
    aiding the
    spread and defence of Islam;
    and publishing written articles
    in clearing
    misconceptions and correction
    lies against Islam.
    Examples of such Jihad include
    the research and discovery of
    scientific
    evidences, literature miracles
    and mathematical miracles from
    the Quran.
    Messenger of Allah once stated
    that the ink of a scholar is holier
    than the
    blood of a martyr; and one who
    is reading looks handsome in
    front of
    Allah.
    Jihad by the hand
    Jihad by the hand; in Arabic:
    jihad bil yad.
    This is a Jihad of action rather
    than words. At certain areas, it
    overlaps
    with Zakart (charity) and Hajj
    (pilgrimage).
    Some of its examples include
    giving charity to the poor and
    needy,
    performing Hajj or Ummrah,
    helping those who need help,
    saving
    people's lives, etc. These are
    more of physical deeds instead
    of words.
    “A person whose feet become
    dust ridden because of [striving]
    in
    the way of Allah will never be
    touched by the flames of Hell”
    { Sahih Bukhari 2811}
    The most beautiful of all Jihad is
    a perfect Hajj. It involves testing
    of
    one's patience and piety to
    the apex. The whole period of
    Hajj, with just
    one intention and aim,
    worshiping Allah!

  87. Many of the Quranic verses are
    being quoted out of context to
    wrongly justify terrorist actions.
    Yet, most of those verses are
    only
    referring to a particular
    situation; such as Battle of Badr
    or Battle of
    Uhud.
    Intention and war against Satan:
    “Those who believe, fight in
    the Cause of Allah, and those
    who
    disbelieve, fight in the cause of
    Satan. So fight against the
    friends
    of Satan. Ever feeble indeed is
    the plot of Satan.”
    {Quran, Surah 4: An-Nisa, Verse 76; Mohsin
    Translation}
    Now the second question is,
    what is wrong in fighting
    against evil and
    liberating people from
    sufferings ?
    “Once a person came to the
    Prophet (sws) and said that
    some people
    fight for the spoils of war, some
    for fame and some to show off
    their valour; he then asked the
    Prophet (sws): “Which one of
    them
    fights in the way of Allah”. The
    Prophet (sws) replied: “Only
    that
    person fights in the way of Allah
    who sets foot in the battlefield
    to
    raise high the name of Allah”.
    { Sahih Bukhari 2810}
    Who is a Holy Warrior?
    According to the Quran, a
    martyr who died in the way of
    Jihad is
    promised Paradise. But what are
    the criteria of martyr, or in
    other words,
    what are the criteria of a Holy
    Warrior undertaking the True
    Jihad?
    The most famous of all Hadith is
    the one regarding everything
    we do are
    judged by our intensions; so as
    it is mentioned in the previous
    chapter.
    So who is an example of a Holy
    Warrior?
    Ali bin Abu Talib, cousin of
    Prophet Mohammed (s.a.w) and
    the fourth
    Caliph of the Islamic Ummah is a
    good example.
    During one of the battles, Ali
    was about to give a deathblow
    to an enemy
    soldier. Just then, that enemy
    soldier spat at Ali. Ali then
    suddenly
    stopped, threw down his sword
    and refused to kill that enemy
    soldier.
    After the battle, Ali's soldiers
    asked Ali why he suddenly
    stopped
    and refused to kill that enemy
    soldier on the battlefield.
    Ali explained that he got angry
    when that enemy soldier spat at
    him. So
    if he had killed that enemy
    soldier right then, he would be
    killing out of
    his own anger and no longer
    fighting for Justice. In the sight
    of Allah, he
    would then be no different from
    a murderer.
    Brothers and Sisters that is how
    we should see jihad and not other way round.
