Al-Shabaab - A Ruthless Campaign of Terror
Al-Qaeda’s proxy in Africa stationed in Somalia, Al-Shabaab, has suffered a big blow as one of its top-ranking commanders has been reportedly executed by another rebel group in the fight for control of the central regions of Somalia. Ahlu Sunna Waljamaca a pro-government militia, claimed that it had captured many Al-Shabaab rebels during fighting around Dusamareb, a central Somali town and has executed a top Al-Shabaab commander. Sheikh Abdullahi Sheikh Abu Yusuf a spokesman for the group told reporters “We don’t normally kill al Shabaab members. We arrest them and make them understand that Islam means peace. We have detained and then released many of them,”
The Spokesman went on to say “This commander insisted that all people were infidels except his group, We will execute Al-Shabaab members who insist that it can be right to kill the innocent. What else are we supposed to do to those who believe they will go to paradise for killing us and the whole human race?” This was the first known execution by the Ahlu Sunna Waljamaca which is aligned with Somalia’s pro-west government.
Hizbul Islam, another terror group, together with Al-Shabaab, want to impose Sharia law in the country – a move that a huge percentage of the Somali people are against, as most of them view Sharia law as anti-Islamic, as it is a distorted version of the peaceful teachings of the Quran. The terror groups administration of Sharia law takes the form of executions, stoning and amputations. A brutal concept of a religion that is meant to be one of peace.

How ignorant the writer and how ignorant the story. Correct al-shabab is a terrorist al qaeda proxy but most Somalis are NOT against sharia and know it is part of Islam but the implementation of it and understanding of it from al-shabab is what most somalis are against. its hard to say stats when there can be non taken. We should learn about Islam before we speak about it.
To the commenter above – I am sorry but you are the one that is ignorant. The writer is correct, we in Somalia don’t want Sharia law as it is un-islamic. Muslims around the world don’t want Sharia only extremists like you will support this jihadist nonesense.
LIBAN AND ALI.

I’M I BRAINWASHED?
I strogly commend Ali`s feedback as correct. But Musa Shafiq, you are not in a position to judge us, simply because you are not a Somali in the first place. So leave us choose judicial system.
Liban, I am a Somali – I just don’t want to reveal my identity because of the madness of people like you. Sharia law has no place in Somali society. We the educated Somali’s will reject it totally. Even if you kill us in the thousands.You are wicked men
