\"Aboud<\/p>\n

As often happens in African nations where Muslims and Christians are neighbors, the mutual love of Children of Abraham\u00a0broke to the surface<\/a> today in Mombasa, Kenya, after the assassination of a Muslim cleric named Aboud Rogo Mohammad. (Above, from the BBC). Subsequently, mobs took to the streets, burning cars and vandalizing churches.<\/p>\n

\"Burning<\/p>\n

So who was the good cleric whose death sparked such rage?<\/p>\n

The UN Security Council imposed a travel ban and asset freeze on him in July, saying he had provided “financial, material, logistical or technical support to al-Shabab”.<\/p>\n

It accused him of being the “main ideological leader” of Kenya’s al-Hijra group, also known as the Muslim Youth Centre, which is viewed as a close ally of al-Shabab.<\/p>\n

He had “used the extremist group as a pathway for radicalisation and recruitment of principally Swahili-speaking Africans for carrying out violent militant activity in Somalia,” the UN added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But apparently all this was just a warm-up<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to police, Rogo was arrested with firearms, ammunitions and detonators in his house. He was accused of planning acts of terrorism.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So the guy the rioters were seeking to avenge himself knew a thing or two about killing. Nice.<\/p>\n
