Somali Islamists urge Muslims worldwide to join jihad
A call to Keith Ellison's crowd...Somali go guri:
MOGADISHU (Reuters) - Somali Islamists urged foreign Muslim fighters on Saturday to join their "holy war" against Ethiopia after days of heavy fighting between Islamist and pro-government troops.
The Islamists and pro-Somali government fighters have been firing artillery and rockets at each other across frontlines since Tuesday, killing dozens and wounding hundreds. Though residents reported a lull in fighting early on Saturday.
"Our country is open to Muslims worldwide. Let them fight in Somalia and wage jihad, and God willing, attack Addis Ababa," said Islamisti defense chief Yusuf Mohamed Siad "Inda'ade", a hard-liner known for his belligerent rhetoric.
"We told the world to stop this problem. We told them to do something before it becomes a blazing fire that would engulf the region," he told reporters in the Islamist stronghold of Mogadishu.
The most sustained fighting to date between the two sides has heightened fears of a major regional war that would suck in Horn of Africa rivals Ethiopia and Eritrea.
Diplomats fear the Somali conflict could also trigger suicide bombings in east Africa.
"... a major regional war that would suck..."
Yes it would! But the Somali Islamists seem to thrive on declaring war for Allah. What makes this interesting is that there are a large number of Somali Muslims in the US. I know first hand of the ones in Minneapolis, as does Keith Ellison. They elected him.
This might be good for Minneapolis if the herd of Somalis suddenly booked flights. I wouldn't want to be on one of them but can you imagine?! Then our friend John will be, in a small way, vindicated.
