Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).
Over 160 Somali religious scholars have declared a fatwa against the al-Qaeda related terrorist group al-Shabab. The group said that al-Shabab has no place as a part of Islam.
Al-Shabab is in control of most of the rural areas of Somalia although government and African Union forces have driven the terror group out of the cities.
The terror group responded to the declaration by bombing a restaurant of innocent civilians. The attack killed at least 15 people and wounded dozens.
The conference of scholars was aimed at bringing an official Islamic opinion on the group and whether it had any legitimacy.
“It’s like a gang that comes together to kill Somalis… without any legitimate reason or justification,” Sheikh Hassan Jaamai told the BBC.
