Muslim Leaders Want Imam Arrested Over Al-Shabaab Link

Unfortunately this is not in the U.S., and Muslims aren’t turning in jihad-preaching imams in the U.S. or demanding that terror-linked Muslim groups like CAIR be put out of business. Don’t hold your breathe either, but a rare and good sign in Kenya where sharia is encroaching rapidly. via allAfrica.com: Kenya: Muslim Leaders Want Imam Arrested Over Al-Shabaab Link.

Islamic religious leaders have made fresh calls for the immediate arrest and detainment of an Imam accused of recruiting youth into al-Shabaab. Masjid Musa’s Imam Aboud Rogo is out on bond.

The clerics have accused the Judiciary of contributing to the recruitment of Kenyan youths to Al-Shabaab by giving bonds to ‘criminals’. “We know who has been recruiting youths into the militia, but we see him on the streets everyday. We fear that more youths will be killed in Somalia if no action is taken,” said Sheikh Hassan Omar of the Council of Imams and Preachers of Kenya. Late last year, chaos erupted after anti-Rogo youths threatened to forcibly oust him from the mosque.
