This is the bravest step taken by the culamaa againist al shabaab, like they said; the first step is the bravest...breaking the taboo is the bravest action one could do...al shabaab will do every thing to assasinate them...like they did with shaykh abdulqadir gacameey allah yarhamah one of the salafist al ictisaam scholars now its time for these useless elders to meet and denounce the criminals instead of placing them above the law!!
If they do so, it will significantly change the face of mogadisho-mind you some districts of xamar are basically brain washed by what they call imarat al islamiya- otherwise they are all implicitily supporting the criminals though some of them have already protected them!!
