Photographs of 'Eid al-Adha ["Holiday of the Sacrifice"] congregational prayers in the region of Banaadir in Somalia. The 'Eid sermon was delivered and the prayers lead by Shaykh 'Ali Muhammad Rage (above), a leader in the Somali jihadi-insurgent group Harakat al-Shabab al-Mujahideen ["Movement of Warrior-Youth"].

Alhamdulillah. It's not different from us in Indonesia
I would think that the actual 'Eid prayer ritual would be very similar, though I would imagine in Indonesia and most other places in the Muslim world, they're not led by militants.
