it squares up with the article in the op ..
"A casual morning at the mall today turned into a siege of terror for unsuspecting shoppers in Nairobi, Kenya, when attackers dressed in black and wearing facemasks and vests loaded with grenades sprayed the unsuspecting crowds with bullets from AK-47s.
"They just came in and threw a grenade. We were running and they opened fire. They were shouting and firing," said Jay Patel who was on an upper floor of the mall when the shooting began.
Frightened shoppers fled the mall crying and clutching their small children. At one point mall guards used shopping carts to wheel out wounded children.
The gunmen were still holed up in the mall late this evening, along with an unknown number of hostages"
had they been hunting Christians exclusively, they wouldn't have killed the first people in sight.

You keep pointing to their inability to safeguard every Muslim as proof that they weren't targeting Christians. That's bullshit. I'm sure that Al-Shabaab is willing to put up with a small number of Muslim casualties, so long as they can kill large numbers of Christians and other non-Muslims.
It's a religious war. Why do you keep denying it?
