From Voice of America

A senior commander of radical Islamist militant group al-Shabab in Somalia has issued a public call for foreign fighters from around the world to come to Somalia and join its fight against the Western-backed Mogadishu government.

The leader of al-Shabab forces in the Bay and Bakol regions, Sheikh Mahad Abdikarim, is asking for foreign Islamic militants to join al-Shabab in Somalia.

He says that all Muslim religious warriors should come and participate in their war.

Wait a minute...I thought that islam is a peaceful religion.
