Parliament Speaker Denounces Al-Shabab
The speaker of the Somali parliament sheik Adan
Mohamed Nor (Madobe) denounced strongly Wednesday the
Islamist faction of al-Shabab.
The speaker who held a press conference in the
capital Mogadishu accused al-Shabab that they are
working for foreigners after they opposed the decision
of the parliament.
Somalia's legislature endorsed the Islamic Sharia
to be implemented in Somalia on Saturday and many
people welcomed, but al-Shabab rejected the decision
of the parliament.
"I believe that al-Shabab are mostly expatriates,
they brought in this country many white and black
expatriates from different parts in the world and I
also believe that they are deceiving the Islamic
religion and sending negative images from Islam," said
speaker Madobe.
He added that the Shabab are working with
philosophy against the Islamic religion to divert
those who want to adopt the Islamic religion. |
