Hero of mall massacre revealed: Selfless Muslim civilian who saved life of US girl and her family

'A Somali Muslim has been hailed a hero after rescuing a mother and her three daughters from the Nairobi shopping mall as gunmen threw grenades and sprayed bullets yards away.

Katherine Walton feared she and her children would not get out alive after becoming trapped under a table outside a supermarket in the Westgate complex.

But they were saved by Abdul Haji, the son of a former Kenyan security minister, who bravely ushered them to safety as he fired back at the terrorists with a handgun.

His identity has now been revealed after his story was immortalised in an iconic photograph which shows him reaching out to Mrs Walton's four-year-old daughter Portia as she runs away with fear etched on her face.'

Free Republic is becoming a Johnny One-Note of hatred towards Muslims, Hispanic people, and Black people.

The truth about any "protected" class is always considered hatred by the left. Don't let them inside your head. I don't hate Muslims, and regularly pray for those mired in the evil of Islam. But keeping them away or killing them when need be is merely self-defense. The individual referred to will be considered an apostate and a pariah to the Islamists. They'll kill him as quickly as they'd kill Infidels like you or me.

It took them four days to find something, anything, to take the stink of what was the best example yet that Islam isn’t interested in the least about anything other than slaughtering people who aren’t muslim.

The silence of the CAIR crowd has been DEAFENING here. Nobody - no one - has stepped up to denounce ‘the more dangerous, reprehensible elements of our religion, who by their actions have demonstrated that they are not true muslims.’

Nobody has uttered words even approximating that, which by itself gives the rest of the ‘free world’ all the justification it needs to hunt down and kill every last muslim on the planet. The silence of the rest of their fake religion is applause.

All of them, together, means that the bloody game must be put to an end.

Believe it or not, some muzzies are people too.

My younger son rented a couple of rooms for a year or so from a young Muslim friend in D.C., and we were overnight guests there a couple of times. I never felt unsafe, due to the fact that this young Muslim would be a target of the Islamists for befriending Infidels.

It was the Christian thing to do.

I can’t help but feel dirty reading your comment.
Sounds an awful lot like what McCain, Reid and all the little children are tossing out there.

Don’t presume to know what’s in anybody’s heart and mind.

I hold no hatred for any of the groups you listed. I do hold a certain disdain for those who keep calling me names.

You were asleep before, like so many of us. You’re awake now.

You overlook the glaring difference. Being Black or Hispanic is an accident of birth. Being Muslim is a choice. Since Islam is a hateful, supremacist ideology/religion that posits a muderous liar as the model human, yeah I have a problem with its adherents.

And realize that just because someone says they’re a “muslim” doesn’t necessarily mean they are a true believer, just as you have cultural Christians and cultural Jews, you have cultural Muslims.
