Muslims 'recruiting' Australian Somalis
MUSLIM extremists are recruiting young Somali refugees in Melbourne and Sydney for what a Somali community leader fears could be a terrorist attack in Australia.
Herse Hilole, a Sydney Somali community leader and Islamic scholar, said the Somali refugees were being influenced by radical Lebanese from a hardline Wahhabi group, The Age reported today.
Dr Hilole will speak to the Melbourne Somali community tonight to mark the birthday of the prophet Muhammad.
In his speech, Dr Hilole will say some Sydney and Melbourne Somalis have returned to Somalia to join Islamic jihad, and some have been killed.
“We know that some people left Australia to join the jihad of the Islamic Courts (a faction in the Somalian civil war) and have even been killed,” Dr Hilole told The Age.
“We know there are supporters in Australia who want to recruit young Somalis to go back or support financially the Islamic Courts.
“The community must be made aware of this and we must put a stop to it.”
...
For years we have been told that JIHAD means INNER STRUGGLE, how were these Somalis struggling internally while fighting in Somalia?!?
