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.
(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..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.
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.'
After 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.

ReplyDeleteMr or Mrs Anonymous point of correction, not all terrorists are Muslims... Well its not a new thing to me how xtians derive pleasure in insulting Islam and Muslims, before u talk about people pls go read and ask about dem... And as for d Jihad it means fighting BACK, and in Islam d best of Jihad is fighting d devil within one's self... Tank God for ur Anonymity, u don't just open ur mouth to say anything to people... Dat remind me: in Islam War is d last option, and in a well prescribed way... Muslim war doesn't permit ambush, u are to notify ur enemy den u pick were to meet, no killing of d old, infancts and infact unarmed men and women... Go check ur self St. Anonymous

D govt. Abi are young ones they've killed d kenyan govt, are british , america , canada citizens they've killed d enemy..well not 2 judge or anyfin, I beliv dey hv committed a great sin, and evn dos muslims or islamist wu knws d truth and hv failed 2 cum out n stop dis wicked act, 2 condemn dis jihad killing u guys blive in will also share in dia sins no matter ow pure u tink u re..wuld hv called on d youths wu re educated nd knws d truth 2 speak up and save dia religion, but dey're d ones wif d stupid belief....ow can I accept ur religion.wuld rather die as a sinner in christianity dan accept ur religion dt believes in revenge nd war...#sad#
DeleteIslam 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
DeleteWe all need to join hands and fight against such bad acts and imminent ones.
Linda post this.
If more than half a people act a particular way it is said that every body would act this....re u suppose to kill ur fellow human ?

ReplyDeleteI do feel for those hiding, can't even picture what they going through
ReplyDeleteOf 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.
ReplyDeleteI wish there's a like button for your comment. You have said it all!
DeleteBrave kid. I believe those Muslim terrorists will be duly rewarded for shedding innocent blood.

ReplyDeleteI think these guys were cajoled to do this, I read in ynaija that a woman called Samantha Lewthwaite AKA "white widow" is behind all this
ReplyDeleteSo 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
Ajibola "dumb' quadrey and Mr foolish dayo, please shut that hell-hole of a mouth if you dont know how it feels to lose a loved one to blood-sucking demons who hide under a stupid religion to do just evil. Taking lives they cannot create. mscheeeeeew
ReplyDeleteI keep saying that Allah is just a fancy name for Lucifer..
ReplyDeleteNo man is an island,every man is part of the whole,the death of a man deminish me because I am part of man kind. When you raise up your hand and kill and un armed human how do you feel?who gave you the right to take the life of another? Islamic leaders most give us reason not to comdenm islam as a barbaric religion.can u image the fools,if you are islam go out and those that are not are condenm by their religion.what is the way forward?how do will please them?what is it that they seek.to me islamic is a religion with an extreme character and unhappy people.
ReplyDeleteAnd everyday I hear that islam doesn't support terrorism. Then put it to a halt preach it in the mosque or something. Curb the extremist and the religious fanatics. This is a serious issue I just hope these guys are not given our very own bokoharam ideas. The boys bravery reminds me of the lil girl in white house down. This things should be left in the movies. Not in real life.
ReplyDeleteCorrect @oduneja
ReplyDeleteAdolf hitler and stalin were bad men not terrorists.....nobody said all bad men were muslims. But u'd have to be really blind not to realize that all terrorists claim islam as their faith. 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??
ReplyDelete@ Dayo 2:03pm!, dude dont defend what you dont know! the issue is not if clinton said it or not, look at the incident that took place and justify it. any one killing in the name of religion is just insane and that religion is not worth having fate for..dame dude! and 2:03pm
ReplyDeleteSo 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.
ReplyDeleteodun.eja "fish festival* may Allah forgive ur generation
ReplyDeleteQuite a pity! God 'll judge em all.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sad tragedy. The prophecy must be fulfilled so that the Bible must be accpted and Jesus Christ believed in. Islams, follow the Bible. There is no other way.

ReplyDelete@anon 6:48
ReplyDeleteI 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!
@Anon 7:50. U re a retard. May thunder fire ur mouth. See hw u pple re terrorisind d entire world. Can't blame u tho. If u can destroy urslves(Iraq nd Iran) hw is it diff. 4 u to destroy odas. Bastards

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.

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.
ReplyDeleteLet 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.
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
ReplyDeleteI'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
ReplyDeleteTerrorists 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

ReplyDeleteWhat Jihad IS NOT!
ReplyDeleteIf 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!
May Allah reward u for dis
DeleteMany of the Quranic verses are
ReplyDeletebeing 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.
Islam does not support killing, we all knw d way evrytin was before dis killing started, we are ☺f peace
