What's the big deal? So a few imams are exhorting young Muslims to go join gyms in Mali and Syria. Why should anyone be concerned?

"Tunisia: Local Professor Accuses Imams of Promoting Jihad," from [1] Magharebia, January 21 (thanks to Twostellas):

A top Tunisian academic is accusing religious leaders of supporting extremism, Tunisie Numerique reported on Monday (January 21st).

Alaya Alani, a professor of contemporary history at Manouba University, told Radio Tataouine that imams in mosques were encouraging Tunisian youths to participate in jihad in Mali and Syria.

He urged the government to put an end to this "indoctrination".

Good luck with that.
