Al Qaeda in Somalia Seeks Input; Light Snow With a 50% Chance of Fatwa!

[Right: A frame from a Shabaab video showing Somali fighters loyal to Osama bin Laden posing with an aid worker shortly before he is beheaded for the "crime" of converting to Christianity]

Al Qaeda's Somali affiliate, the Shabaab Mujahideen Youth Movement, is offering a once in a lifetime opportunity to directly ask them questions via their official website:

The Media Department of the Al-Shabaab Al-Mujahideen Movement is pleased to announce to the entire Muslim nation a golden opportunity over the next 9 days. Ask your question and it will be answered InshaAllah by the

Amir of Al-Shabaab Al-Mujahideen, Shaikh Mukhtar Abdul Rahman Abu Zubayr, may Allah protect him.

This opportunity starts today, Wednesday 29/2/1430 Hijra corresponding with February 25, 2009, and goes on for approximately 9 days ending next Friday, 8/3/1430 Hijra corresponding with March 6, 2009.

If you are from a Media Outlet of any type (website, radio, tv station, etc.) please inform us of which one in the box below:

Please keep your question(s) direct and to the point.

Finally!

So, which important and pressing question should you ask the Shabaab first? Might I suggest:

Which is a better lay: a goat or a sheep?

Does beheading infidels really give you wood?

Does Shabaab condone sex with young boys, or is it merely a widespread practice among their fighters?

Skies the limit!

One of us already asked them, "Why do you lay down with men?" Alas, no answer yet.

Please help me get that elusive fatwa by leaving a message. Make sure to let them know The Jawa Report sent you. Expect fatwas. Really.
