Where is the media coverage? This is Obama’s native land — where is his condemnation of the vicious sharia? His silence is sanction and support.

Of course, the problem is those of us who speak against this savagery. Not the savages. Have Muslim groups held an emergency press conference to denounce jihad and the Islamic texts and teachings that command these monstrous mass slaughters?

‘All Muslims leave… we only want to kill non-Muslims’: Gunmen massacre at least 22 in Kenyan shopping mall after releasing anyone who could prove they were Islamic by reciting a prayer Daily Mail, September 21, 2013

• Security guards wheel out bodies in shopping trolleys from Westlands Shopping Centre
• Hostages are being held by at least five attackers still in building
  
• Upmarket mall is a favourite shopping spot for expats and wealthy Kenyans
• Police opened fire after gunmen launched attack at midday today
• Armed gang believed to have been terrorists, police say
  
• Kenya Red Cross says at least 22 dead though police not given exact toll
• Witness says attackers told shoppers non-Muslims were the targets
• Somali militant group al-Shabaab threatened to attack mall but no one yet claimed responsibility

Gunmen who opened fire at a shopping centre killing at least 25 and injuring dozens more today let muslims go free if they could prove they were Islamic.

Witnesses caught up in the attack at Westlands Shopping Centre, in the Kenyan capital Nairobi, said anyone who could recite a muslim prayer to their captors was allowed to leave unscathed.

But the attackers turned their guns on anyone who could not prove their Islamic credentials.

Sir Simon Fraser, the Foreign Office’s chief civil servant and head of the Diplomatic Service, said on Twitter that Britons had been caught up in the incident.

He posted: ‘@foreignoffice (The Foreign Office) and @UKinKenya (British High Commission) working hard on Nairobi shooting and hostage crisis to help all involved esp Brits.’

Sky News is reporting that the US State Department has confirmed US citizens are among the casualties.

Downing Street confirmed Prime Minister David Cameron had spoken President of
Kenya, Uhuru Kenyatta, this afternoon about the attack.’

Kenyan police and soldiers have pinned
down the remaining gunmen who opened fire at a shopping centre earlier
today, killing 25 and leaving at least 50 others injured.

A security source at the scene in the capital Nairobi confirmed the attackers had been isolated.

The source said: ‘The attackers have been isolated and
are pinned down in an area on one of the floors – the rest of the mall
seems to be secure.’

No-one
has claimed responsibility for the attack, but it is looking
increasingly likely the Somalia terrorist group al-Shabaab may be
responsible.

A statement released through its Twitter account said it warned Kenya to pull its troops out of Somalia.

However, the group has did not take responsibility for the attack.

One witness who was embroiled in the situation claimed that
the gunmen told Muslims to stand up and leave and that only non-Muslims
would be targeted when they opened fire at the upmarket mall of the
Westlands district around midday.

At least two dozen people, wounded
and dead, were wheeled
out on stretchers and in shopping trolleys by security guards, while
others were seen walking out of the building, clutching bloodied
clothing around their injuries.

Locals and tourists who were out
shopping on the sunny Saturday in Kenya ran screaming from the building
and cars were left abandoned as attackers threw grenades and fired
AK47s.

Over the course of an
hour people streamed from the building, at least half a dozen covered
in blood and clutching small children to them.

The Kenya Red Cross Society now says that 25 have been reported dead and at least 50 wounded.

At
least nine people were carried out of the building bleeding from wounds
to their limbs and two others were wheeled unconscious from the scene
in shopping trolleys.

A young boy is believed to have been among those killed.

At a news conference, Internal Security Principal Secretary Mutea Iringo said ‘terrorists and threats have been present in Kenya for quite some time now’.

The army, including special forces, have now been drafted in to help police flush out the gunmen.

Kenya Red Cross Society Secretary General Abbas Guled said: ‘The casualties are many, and that’s only what we have on the outside. Inside there are even more casualties and shooting is still going on.’

There were unconfirmed reports of two large explosions, with several smaller explosions. Two people were reportedly injured on the road.

‘We have officers at the scene trying to get out the group shooting inside. They have not been located,’ a senior police official said.

‘Officers are approaching the situation with caution because there are innocent civilians inside,’ he said.

‘The gunmen tried to fire at my head but missed. There are definitely many casualties,’ Sudjar Singh, who works at the shopping centre, told AFP.
‘I saw three of the attackers dressed in black and with covered faces and they were carrying heavy rifles,’ said another witness.
Errol Fernandes, a Kenyan businessman said: ‘There were two guys – they came in from the car park on the roof. One had dreadlocks, he had an AK47 and was firing randomly.
‘I just ran into the café kitchen and then we all hid in the refrigerator, until we were told to run out of the fire escape.
‘I’m sure there must be many dead and injured.’

Kenyan soldiers were also deployed to take part in the operation to bring the shopping complex back under control.
Police helicopters circled over the building as sporadic gunfire could be heard more than two hours after the attack was launched.
Police cordoned off the roads surrounding the mall in central Nairobi’s Westlands neighborhood.
Kenya’s interior minister said the mall shooting may be “an attack by terrorists.”
“It is a possibility that it is an attack by terrorists, so we are treating the matter very seriously,” Mutea Iringo, the principal secretary in the Ministry of Interior told Reuters.
Asked if foreign security services were involved in the operation to flush out the attackers, he said, ‘At this stage it has not become necessary yet.’

The picture above prompted a woman to contact MailOnline, saying the woman with the two children is her sister-in-law.
‘These aren’t all nameless individuals, these are real people and don’t me and my family know it today,’ she said.
‘What the picture doesn’t show is the gun shot wound she has just come out of surgery for.
‘Brave woman who I am so proud to call my family.’
