Somali comedian who poked fun at Islamists shot dead
Gunmen shot dead a well-known comedian known for poking fun at Al-Qaeda linked Shebab insurgents in the Somali capital Mogadishu, officials and colleagues said Wednesday.
Abdi Jeylani Malaq Marshale, in his late thirties or early forties, was killed late Tuesday, minutes after leaving Kulmiye radio station, where he worked as drama producer and performer.
“Two men shot and seriously injured Marshale… the comedian was later pronounced dead,” said police lieutenant Mohamed Gaal, adding that “unfortunately the assailants escaped.”
The shooting of Marshale, who also worked for the London-based Universal TV station and who reported having received death threats on several occasions, is the latest in a string of apparently targeted killings against media workers.

Islam truly is a Cult….. This is the religion all the liberals want to embrace…
It does mirror the liberals talk of tolerance and free speech…. As long as you agree with them.

The biggest sin in islam is to make fun of the pedophile who made the sick shit up. There’s not an insane asylum big enough to house all the sick muslims who believe it is their duty to murder anybody who might cause them to question their volatile belief system.

You stupid infidels! This only balances out all the poor people who have been killed for telling Jesus jokes.
Everyone knows that comedians in America are killed every day for telling anti-Christian jokes and saying Jesus was a liar.
Like that guy who wrote the book about Jesus being married, Dan Brown. They made it into a movie. Dan Brown was killed as was Tom Hanks for starring in it. The people posing as Dan Brown and Tom Hanks are not them, they are imposters.
Christians are evil…Islam is the religion of peace….
