  1. Peace Action , well said bro, especially the last pragraph
  2. You see, good Gabal, when one is at my age one appreciates wit when he senses one. And I’ve appreciated the humor. That on a one hand Keligii Muslim Kashafa sees me as a qabiilist who supports PL on the expense of Somalia, AND on the other hand the bitter Duke, a man who is heart broken by Yey’s political exile, sees me a man who blindly supports Sharif on the expense of PL, that incongruous assessment of my political stance only ensures me that I occupy the middle summit between the two extreme polarities indeed. That is the true nugget of wisdom in this mad exchange
  3. Interesting article about alshabaab recruitments in America

  8. Originally posted by Adam-Zayla: Duke Ba'aaaa Actually this should be my last word as far as Duke is concern. As for Kashafa, adeer Keligii Muslim baad adigu tahay marka Puntland wax baa lagaa weydiin mayyo.
  9. ^^So now we are talking about trinity Waryee salaadaan aadayaaye bal markaan soo noqdo wixii eedo Axado kuu sheegtay bal i dhowr aad iga sheekeyside
  10. Duke, Faroole ha is mar marin awoowe, you are bitter man who is confused and does not know what he supports. I know what Faroole supportes, he rightly insists federalism as a future political arrengement given where we are today, still though he supports tfg and Sharif. You on the other hand is an orphan man, politically. I support somali government, Sharif happens to be a very reasonable man who says and tries to do what i believe to be the right things. Midnimo Qaran is a phrase used by some that has no meaning. If you are honest man you would go what the charter espouses to be the foundation of somali goverment.
  11. Zahra Bilan as Ducaysane calls her waa qof jirta. She is the easiest way Obama can win again. As for the governer waa nin qaldamay. I usually read anything Fish writes
  12. lool@the change of thread heading Juje, Sharif is Duke's president. Duke can be bitter as he seemingly is, but the fact remains Sharif is the head of the tfg. Faroole supports tfg, and that makes Duke a lonely man. As for Aweys i think we can all fairly say that he is not indepedent of alshabaab. alshabaab opposes any dailogue with tfg. At best Aweys will do what Indhacadde did, or he will just remain where he is today. as i siad before Aweys coming to the tfg side is a good thing politically but in reality it wont change much as far alshabaab is concern
  13. Fu-FU walaalow ilaga dhexe goor muu kuu soo baxaa
  14. ^^He is irrelevant. This is a face saving exercise for him. For the tfg having him in as opposed out wont harm. But in the final analysis there are two sides to this conflict, tfg and alshabaab, and peace will only come when these two reach agreement.

  17. Originally posted by Nur: The Thriller Ride. Suurat Al Caadiyaat This Work was inspired by a request of Brother Thunder, a fellow Nomad of Somaliaonline Islam Discussion boards, who asked me to shed some light on this Surah. I first read the Surah quickly to grasp the gist of it, for more insight, I reviewed it again, However no matter how many passages I read, a critical link was missing between the first part of the Surah and the conclusion, a real challenge for ulul albaab. In my search for clues, I referred to three different Tafaaseer, Al Tabari for the different narrations and their weights, , Ibnul Katheer for his smooth explanation, and for a deeper inspiration, I delved into the eloquence of the Dhilaal al Quraan ( Shades of The Quraan ) Unfortunately, I was unable to find the connection of the thrilling opening verses with the sobering last verse. After I gave up, Allah SWT opened up a gate of knowledge to enter, in order to see the connection of the first and the last, I could not help but hit the floor to thank Allah SWT in joy for showing me the subtle but critical link of the verses Subhaanallah, Alhamdulillaah and Allahu akbar what a hidden treasure did I find today, A Friday, a day in which Muslims flock to the mosques all over the word to hear words of admonition so they can stay on the siraatul mustaqeem course. Allahumma Salli calaa Sayyiddinaa Muxammad wa calaa Alihi wa saxbih wa sallim. Surah Al Caadiyaat, The Translation of the Text: 1. By the (steeds) that run, with panting (breath), 2. Striking sparks of fire (by their hooves), 3. And scouring to the raid at dawn 4. And raise the dust in clouds the while, 5. Penetrating forthwith as one into the midst (of the foe); 6. Verily! Man (disbeliever) is ungrateful to his Lord; 7. And to that fact he bears witness (by his deeds); 8. And verily, he is violent in the love of wealth. 9. Knows he not that when the contents of the graves are brought out and poured forth (all mankind is resurrected). 10. And that which is in the breasts (of men) shall be made known. 11. Verily, that Day (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) their Lord will be Well-Acquainted with them (as to their deeds), (and will reward them for their deeds). Bismillahi Arraxmaani Arraxiim The Thriller Ride. . For those Nomads who can relate to our baadiye setting ( duullaan, ama weerar dagaal colaad ah), or for those westernized Nomads who had the fun visiting Medieval Times theme parks in California, enjoying a nice meal of chicken served on copper dishes, while two horsemen fight like the Romans. Imagine sleeping in your tents early morning when at at dusk, you wake up amid dreadful sounds and sights of an enemy. The sounds of fast breathing and approaching horses, raising clouds of dust behind them while at the same time, sparking static fire with their hoofs as they hit the dry terrain at high speeds sending shockwaves of fear all around your body, and suddenly, you are butt naked and face to face with the enemy horsemen. But suddenly, when you as a frightened person see the enemy horses standing right above your mattress ( Fa wasatna bihi jamcan), and stare at these horsemen brandishing shining swords, you realize that your end is near, and now you begin to seriously think about your past intentions and motives of all your deeds. ( End of Primo Scenario) And here we find the secret connection. MOTIVES BEHIND OUR DEEDS The above scenario " Wal caadiyaati dhabxan, fal muuriyaati qadxan, fal mughiiraati subxan, fa atharna bihi naqcan, fa wasatna bihi jamcan............" this swift description of sound, motion and action is a Allah's way throughout the Quraan to get our attention, or " Dhaar" as we say in Somali, in which Allah SWT swears by his creatures or their actions as in this case, similar to " Falaa uqsimu bi mawaaqicin nujuum, wa innahu la qasamun low taclamuuna cadhiim " , however what startled me was that this " Weerarka arooryeed" was done in the way of Allah SWT in Jihad, a form of struggle that was triggered by a motive , because once the motives were set, the horses were set in motion , followed by the sound of fast breathing Arabian horses, their hoofs raising sparks of fire and a dust behind their tails behind the background of the twilight of dusk, all for a purpose. Now many earthly years pass by in a state of oblivion, and all in a sudden, you find yourself once more standing naked in front of your maker in the day of judgment, you show up again just like how you were created in the first place, naked, scared, helpless, and humbled. Now imagine yourself hearing these words of wisdom: " Man is indeed unthankful to his lord" (Kanood) , meaning, ungrateful person ( Calooshii la cayaar) who only counts misfortunes, but never appreciates goodness granted, nor thanks his Maker for it. Being ungrateful all your life, you have never felt that you owe Allah anything that you have, because in arrogance you've felt that you did it all alone without Allah's help, and as a result, all of what you came to believe that all that you have earned was rightfully yours alone, never recognizing that all along Allah was making all your successes possible, by prodding you to succeed and providing you with an intricate health maintenance system, a calculating mind, sheer " coincidences or are they?" and guardian angels to look after your safety up until the moment of truth fast approached, enemy horsemen keen to take away your unworthy life with a swift piercing sword right through your heart, ouch!. Your nature of ungratefulness over the years had triggered many actions that worked contrary to Allah's commandments, because the underlying motives behind your actions were an insatiable love for wealth, power and prestige, contempt for those less fortunate than you are. After close examination of your life, you also recognize that you are a key witness over yourself of how precious you've over valued your material possessions that blinded you from your eventual confrontation with your Lord. Oh NO! Enter the opening ceremonies of the day of judgment when graves will split open, releasing their subdued captives and their accompanying manifests of their past deeds , stern angles examine you files to prepare for your hearing in front of an impartial judge, no matter how many evil deeds that you have concealed, your Lord , that day, ( Like any other day) is well aware of your motives and deeds for a just verdict that will rest your case forever, in happiness or in agony. Luckily, that is all in the future, and the present is in your hands, so take my advice, change your ways, before you are chained!.

  19. In Defense of Palin and Sanford NY Times, Stanley Fish I did not vote for Sarah Palin in the November election, and had I been a resident of South Carolina, I wouldn’t have supported Mark Sanford. But I find their failings and, in the case of Sanford, sins more palatable than the behavior of the pundits who are having so much fun at their expense. Both Republican governors made rambling and sometimes halting statements of about 18 minutes (is that the canonical length for this kind of thing?), and in response the commentators speculated endlessly about why they had said what they said. The one explanation they didn’t seem capable of coming up with was that they meant it, that their words were coming from the heart, from an interior that may have been fissured and rocky, but was nonetheless (dare I use the word) genuine. Palin had barely finished speaking when MSNBC paraded analysts from both sides of the aisle (Matt Lewis and Chris Kofinis) who agreed that (1) it was a disastrous performance and (2) they couldn’t for the life of them figure out why she had delivered it. Kofinis: “It’s hard to understand why she’s resigning.” Lewis: “What she’s essentially done is guarantee that no pundit could make any intellectual defense of her.” Later, Joe Scarborough pronounced in the same vein: “It’s hard to find a compelling reason.” The former majority leader of her own party, Ralph Samuels, chimed in, “I’ve had a million calls today from friends, all political junkies, and everyone is asking the same questions. Is it national ambition, or does she want time to write the book, or is she just tired of it. Don’t have a clue.” Maybe he should look at the video and pay attention this time to the reasons she gives. It is true that her statement was not constructed in a straightforward, logical manner, but the main theme was sounded often and plainly: This is not what I signed up for. I’m spending all my time and the state’s money responding to attack after attack and they aren’t going to let up because, “It doesn’t cost the people who make these silly accusations a dime.” The accusations had been coming from all sides, from investigators of her ethics, from Alaska Democrats and fellow Republicans, from officials in the McCain campaign, from scathing magazine articles, from what she termed the mockery and humiliation directed at her son Trig, from late-night comedians taking potshots at her daughters. She dated the beginning of her trials and tribulations from the moment in August, 2008, when “political operatives descended on Alaska digging for dirt.” She complained that “millions of dollars go down the drain in this new political environment.” She signaled repeatedly her weariness with the “superficial political blood–sport” politics has become. She returned to her own sport, basketball, to explain that because she had become a distraction she was going to do what a good point guard always does, pass the ball to someone (her lieutenant governor) in a better position to make the shot. And in the end she earned the declaration that “I have given my reasons plainly and candidly.” But the pundits didn’t want to hear them or, rather, they were committed to believing that the real reasons lay elsewhere, and were strategic. They couldn’t fathom the possibility that she was just giving voice to her feelings. It must, they assumed, be a calculation, and having decided that, they happily went on to describe how bad a calculation it was. They did this even when reporting on something that might have given them pause. It was generally agreed that because the statement was structurally chaotic, even formless, Palin had written it herself. No self-respecting political operative would have produced something so badly crafted. One would have thought that this would be seen as evidence of the absence of calculation, but instead it was received as evidence of her Alaska-limited understanding of politics. (Doesn’t she know, they asked, that resigning is no way to run for president?) Rather than reasoning from what they took to be the political ineptitude of her performance to the possibility that it wasn’t political, they just continued on their merry, muckraking way. They did the same thing when Mark Sanford followed his disjointed confession with other confessions and with lyrical, over-the-top statements about the love of his life and crying in Argentina. (All this against the backdrop of the e-mails that were giving media would-be comedians a field day.) Why doesn’t he stop talking?, the pundits asked. Why doesn’t he shut up? Doesn’t he see the damage he’s doing to his career and his party? Maybe he did, and maybe he didn’t, but it didn’t matter because he wasn’t doing politics; he was doing cri de coeur, serial meanderings about sin, weakness, mistakes, duty, responsibility, irresponsibility and, above all, passion. The ineptness of his remarks on every level was staggering; politically he was busy digging his own grave; personally, in terms of his family life, he was digging another. He declared in one breath that he was trying to fall back in love with his wife, and in the next he told the world that this was a love story, “a forbidden one, a tragic one, but a love story at the end of the day.” The commentators thought they were covering the latest chapter in the male-politician-who- can’t-keep-his-pants -zipped saga. What they were really covering (although they just couldn’t see it) was the latest chapter in the “all for love” saga, with earlier chapters featuring Antony and Cleopatra, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor and Anna Karenina and Count Vronsky. (O.K., so his stage is not as large as theirs, but it displays the same drama.) Sanford’s actions were without doubt foolish, reprehensible and incredibly maladroit, but they were also real. So what’s the bottom line story? Simple. Sanford is in love. Palin is in pain. Sometimes what it seems to be is what it is.
  20. July 11, 2009 China Bans Mosque Meetings in Strife-Torn Region By EDWARD WONG and ANDREW JACOBS URUMQI, China — Chinese authorities banned prayer gatherings at mosques here on Friday, the principal day of prayer for Muslims, as security officials tried to prevent further ethnic violence in the Xinjiang region. But local officials appeared to partly relax the ban on Friday afternoon, allowing shortened prayer services after hundreds of Uighur worshipers gathered outside at least two of Urumqi’s main mosques and pressed to be allowed inside, news agencies reported. The security clampdown that followed Sunday’s deadly riots remained tight. A small group of about 40 Uighur men and women began a protest march after prayers ended Friday, but they were quickly blocked by police forces, The Associated Press reported. Officials later announced a curfew would be reimposed on the city Friday evening. The city’s main bus station was filled with people trying to flee the unrest, news services said. Meanwhile, in another large Xinjiang city, the ancient Silk Road oasis town of Kashgar, foreign journalists and other visitors were instructed to leave. Strictly enforced security was clearly high on the government’s agenda, and The People’s Daily, the Communist Party’s official newspaper, said in an editorial Friday that “to maintain social stability, we need to isolate and crack down hard on a handful of people.” The paper said those who “masterminded, organized and committed serious violence during the riot” should be targets. At least 156 people were killed in three days of rioting and unrest that began Sunday in Urumqi, the region’s capital. More than 1,000 were reported injured. The People’s Daily editorial echoed the remarks of President Hu Jintao, who cut short a visit to the Group of 8 summit meeting in Italy. In a statement issued along with the Communist Party’s senior leaders, Mr. Hu called on the authorities to “isolate and deal a blow to the small group” who had a hand in the bloodshed. “Preserving and maintaining the overall stability of Xinjiang is currently the most urgent task,” said Mr. Hu, according to a statement published by the official Chinese news agency. The party chief of Urumqi, Li Zhi, offered even tougher words: “To those who have committed crimes with cruel means, we will execute them.” The turmoil began at a southern Chinese shoe factory last month after Chinese workers, spurred by false accusations of rape, attacked Uighur co-workers, killing at least two. The government’s failure to aggressively prosecute those involved in the brawl became a rallying cry for Uighur students in Urumqi, who organized the protest last Sunday that turned violent. Uighurs, who are Turkic-speaking Muslims, form a minority in Urumqi, a city of 2.3 million that has been heavily settled by ethnic Han Chinese from other parts of China. The influx of so many outsiders and what many describe as Beijing’s heavy-handed rule have helped foment resentment among Uighurs. Urumqi appeared to be settling into an uneasy calm, and the ban on Friday Prayers apparently was aimed at preventing large gatherings of Uighurs at the city’s mosques. It was not clear if similar prayer bans were in force elsewhere in Xinjiang on Friday. As many as 20,000 troops from nearby regions had poured into Urumqi after the rioting began, forming cordons between ethnic Uighur neighborhoods and those dominated by Han Chinese, who had earlier gone on a revenge spree against Uighur residents. Both Uighur and Han claim to be the predominant victims of the violence, but the government has declined to release a breakdown of the dead. A nighttime curfew was in place in Urumqi, but shops began to reopen for the first time Thursday as thousands of anxious residents clogged the city’s bus and train stations seeking to escape the city. As helicopters hovered overhead, military vans roamed the streets with loudspeakers blaring slogans like “Maintain stability” and “Protect the people.” Since the turmoil began on Sunday, China has accused Rebiya Kadeer, an exiled Uighur leader, of fomenting the strife. Ms. Kadeer, who lives in Washington, has denied the charge. But on Wednesday the government for the first time shifted some of the blame to the United States, which it accused of financing Ms. Kadeer’s organization, the World Uighur Congress, and other groups that advocate human rights and democracy for ethnic Uighurs in China. The accusation appeared in an article in the People’s Daily. In recent days Turkey, which has cultural and linguistic ties to China’s Uighurs, has stepped into the fray. On Thursday the minister for trade and industry called for a boycott of Chinese goods to protest the crackdown in Xinjiang. “If the country where we consume the goods does not respect human values, we should reconsider our values,” said the minister, Nihat Ergun, according to the Anatolia news agency. Edward Wong reported from Urumqi, Andrew Jacobs reported from Beijing. Mark McDonald contributed reporting from Hong Kong.
