<cite> @Khayr said:</cite> اِتقِ الله Lazie G., you remind me of the anti- islam bigots that make comments on news sites and other nonmuslim forums. The difference is that you still claim some sort of affliation with Islam. That part baffles me! I am also of the opinion that not only the father of those girls should be in the radar of MI5 and the other security agencies but also all the mentally enslaved Arab wannabee Somali akhis in the UK. All the congregations of all the mosques in the country should also have secret agents present. I think the Brits are very lineant with the terrorits and their supporters. I still don't understand why every bloody Arab tribal or political issue seen as a Muslim issue which must be solved or supported by all the Muslims of the world; where as no one even thinks about the genocides and oppression of other non-Arab Muslim communities elsewhere in the world. Has anyone heard of Arabs taking about the ban of Ramadan in China, or the Burmese Muslims, or the Central African Muslims, or the Kenyan Muslims?

<cite> @cubano said:</cite> I would like to know why Somalia was defeated in 1977 war? You actually think your country's ragtag militia who were being exploited by the clever Soviets as foot soldiers defeated the Somali army? Our defeat was due to our dictator not taking advice from anyone and our generals all vying for power and plotting military coup. In short it was us the Somalis who caused the defeat of our army and not your country hapless mercenaries. Now do us a favour and go back to your crumpling time-forsaken shithole of a country. Goodbye :-D

The Germans deserve to win this tournament as they play consistently well. The German players are as reliable as their country's consumer goods :-D Which other team is guaranteed to reach the final stages of any major tournament?

You haven't answered my question. Why are those who opposed Dahabshiil's investment initiative in Berbera not taking the responsibility to rebuild the old cement factory?
-
<cite> @Saalax said:</cite> The mountains where the cement is from including the scrap metal ruins of the old factory is in the side of the locals. They have allowed Dahabshiil to invest in it with a 50-50% share with local businessmen, however Dahabshiil backed by the Siilaanyo government got greedy and tried to take 100% stake, hence why it backfired. Siilaanyo needs to learn to respect locals, his nepotism and clannism will not be accepted. I am not defending Siilaanyo or any other politician as they all sing from the same hymn sheet but what I object to is the constant disruption to national development and economic growth coming from all corners of our society. The people of Saaxil region stopped Dahabshiil from investing in Berbera because of clannish envy. As a result the rusting ruins of the erstwhile cement factory is still an eyesore spoiling our beautiful landscape while Somaliland imports 100% of its costly cement from abroad thus hampering our national development. Why don't the protesting masses now invest in this factory and own 100% of the shares? Who is stopping them?
-
<cite> @Saalax said:</cite> What I meant is the starting up of the old cement factory. He tried to give 100% /majority shares to Dahabshiil. The locals had a right to refuse it since Dahabshiil refused to share fairly. It is not the fault of the locals for looking out for their god given right but the government that tried to practise nepotism and tribalism in Somaliland which has backfired in certain areas because Kulmiye has no support base there."Development" at the expense of the locals while trying to enrich Siilaanyo's close circles will not work. It has to be based on justice. There is no "old cement factory" in Berbera. There is just this ruin not worth fighting over. What the rioting locals were telling the nation and the world is that they "own" Berbera and the site and so want royalties from anyone who starts business there.

Retired teachers need a pension but they are not a priority when distributing the meagre resources in the government's coffers. The government's priority list should look like this: 1. Street children and orphans with no immediate relatives to look after them/ orphans and widows of soldiers killed in combat/ wounded or disabled soldiers. 2. The mentally ill people with no relatives to care for them. 3. Old people and disabled people with no relatives to look after them. 4. Aid for the poorest families in the country 5. Healthcare/ public health and waste management and recycling 6. Rural, farming, and fishing communities/ water collection and the preservation of the environment. 7. Education 8. Road infrastructure 9. National institutional reforms 10. Pension for the poorest people in the country 11. 12. . . . . Somewhere down the list: Pension for the civil servants including teachers :-D Of course all this spending should be done after the security forces and the law enforcement agencies get their cut.

<cite> @Saalax said:</cite> As this important piece of information highlights. 1. He tried to give away the Berbera cement factory to his immediate community however after tensions with the Berbera locals he backed down. There is no cement factory in Berbera but just the rusting scrap metal left behind by the looters. It was indeed a wasted opportunity when clannish minded people objected to a respectable Somaliland citizen investing in our country and creating much needed jobs. <cite> @Saalax said:</cite> 2. Xirsi who is his reprensentative filled the Genel Energy local workers with solely with his immediate community hence in return the local communities refused Genel to operate in their territory nearly developing into open clashes. Genel Energy left for that reason. Here again clannish minded people blocked a foreign firm from investing in our country and helping build our economy!!

<cite> @DoctorKenney said:</cite> There's no question that you should have some form of loyalty towards your countrymen regardless of their religion. So obviously an Egyptian Muslim would (and should) have affinity towards Egyptian Christians. But anyone would agree that principles are far more important than sharing the same nationality. Umar bin Khattab and Ali (who were Arabs) had far more in common with, and more loyalty to, to Bilal (the Ethiopian) and Salman (The Persian) than they did to men such as Abu Jahl and Umayya bin Khalaf (even though they were Arab). That is true. Some of the companions of the holy prophet (scw) fought their own relatives in the battlefield for the sake of Islam. The brotherhood in Islam is more important than clan or ethnicity but I respect Imaan for her charitable work.

<cite> @Dalmar1 said:</cite> Sxb What Somalia needs is a central Reconciled Somalia, not this federal bu**sh**, beesha sahal waa fuley, they always talk big while hiding behind kenya and ethipia, they ARE instigating this federal cr*p, walee it will be a matter of time (soon) before the cancer in Somalia (snm-boys and beesha sahal) gets removed. We are seeing alot of progress in the SFG government, so brother be patient insha'allah criminals like (Xaad,Diriye,Ahmed Madobe,faroole,aweys, and Godane) get arrested, prosecuted and executed. wasiir faarax, is now working hard to remove the Chair and title of PM, Somalia will be republic headed by President and Vice president, chosen by its people,(hint, majority of people are HAG and our brothers D&M, xamar alone is 3.8Million) Forget about the "SNM boys" for Sahal alone will make sure your uncle continues to be the mayor of Mogadishu.

<cite> @Alpha Blondy said:</cite> it's no wonder they have awarded her. they will never reward alternative viewpoints. she's written a denigrating book about our culture. it's an aptly titled book as it probably suggests. although, i've yet to read this book, i'm quite sure, it'll conform to all the stereotypes about being a Black, Muslim, Woman in the west. she'd be a lot hotter, if she wore a hijab. YOU SHOULD READ THE BOOK FIRST BEFORE PASSING JUDGMENTS, DON'T YOU THINK? -
<cite> @Alpha Blondy said:</cite> The global fear over the rise of the Khilafah! World leaders, superpowers and religious minorities are trembling at the thought of an emerging Khilafah in the Middle East, writes Reverend Frank Julian Gelli. Who is afraid of a rising Khilafah in the Middle East? Lots. Muslims like Shia, Kurds, most Sufis, sundry Arab secularist, and Arab Christians of course. All fearing their lives, women, sacred buildings and properties being treated as war loot. Western leaders too are shaking in their boots – good! A nemesis is unfolding. A sort of retributive justice, maybe of divine origins. A paying back for the 2003 illegal, unjustified aggression on Iraq. Engineered by the two scoundrels, Bush and Blair. But the roots of evil reach far back. To WWI, the catastrophic, suicidal, mad all-European conflict so many fools are enthusiastically celebrating in Britain. Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) ISIS is the Jihadist organisation that fights for a Caliphate in the Levant – actually al-Sham, a term covering Iraq, Syria, Palestine, Jordan and other swathes of Arab land. The last Caliph, the Ottoman Sultan, ruled over them till 1917. The victorious Allies artificially invented the current Middle East borders – Iraq being at the time three different Ottoman provinces or “wilayat”. Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham France and Britain arbitrarily created the countries they carved out from their conquests (the Kurds later were ferociously bombed into submission by the British – chief artificer Bomber Harries, eventually of Dresden reputation.). Britain was also responsible for the creation of Israel, the “Jewish home” in Palestine, which came out of the Balfour Declaration infamy. The Allies shared the booty. Now ISIS and other Islamists are hitting back – a resurgent Khilafah in the making. Do you dig the nemesis? Retribution, yes. It may well take the form of martyred Iraq breaking up into three parts, as my friend Dr Tim Furnish suggests. A Kurdish US-friendly north, a Sunni Caliphate in the middle and a Shia state in the south. Well, they were originally three wilayat, weren’t they? Khilafah “The Caliphate is a valid Islamic concept”, a mufti of Bosnia once declared. Historically, he was right. Politically too, perhaps. Nonetheless there were at times two or three Khilafah reigning in different areas of the Muslim world. True, many Caliphs were incompetent or worse but that cannot invalidate the idea, any more than Caligula or Nero could negate the Roman Empire. And if it is OK for former, pseudo-Christian nations to unite in something like the EU, why is it wrong for Muslim nations to merge into a Caliphate? What is sauce for the goose? The EU was established consensually, while ISIS wants to force the Caliphate violently on unwilling folks. Alas, Europe too after WWII was violently taken over by the apostles of democracy and human rights. Call it “liberation” but it was by force of arms and national borders were adjusted accordingly. No one ever took a poll in Germany, Italy, Hungary, Slovakia, Croatia and other countries asking the people whether they wanted to be “liberated”. The Axis had plenty of supporters. So the Jihadi guys, I suppose, could claim that they represent the true will, the soul of the Muslim Ummah, the community of believers. If only they weren’t so fond of slaughtering their prisoners. The West Yet, those most truly terrified of ISIS is the West and its degenerate representatives. Wholly natural. There a priori dogmas demand a strict or effective emasculation of religion. It’s real exclusion from public life, the economy, the market, the law and all the things that matter. With the Christian churches they have succeeded pretty well. Sunday morning religion or “thought for the day” threaten no one. Islam is the harder nut to crack. That religion also has its happy, well-remunerated quislings, eager to pick up the crumbs of parliamentary power and ministerial posts, jobs in the media and the like. It is crusty chaps like the Jihadis who refuse to play the democratic, establishment game. They frighten to death Cameron, Hollande, Merkel, Obumble, all that depressing gang. Indeed, they should. An extraordinary anonymous piece posted on Facebook illustrates the gap between Zeitgeist thinking and at least some Islamists. The writer lists a number of putative Shariah legal notions, like jihad, polygamy, child marriages, hudud punishments and so on. He then points out how a Muslim who was to engage in such practices is ipso facto made a criminal in the West. And he is right. Jihad, often considered like the fifth pillar of Islam, is a duty for a pious believer. But now Prime Minister David Cameron is prepared to pursue British Jihadis who are heading back home from the Levant. Pity they did not fight for a US approved and dollar-powered jihad. Osama Bin Laden and his ilk were kosher, sorry, halal heroes when they combated the evil Soviets in Afghanistan. Hypocrisy? Yes, as well as old, cynical realpolitik. Polygamy and child marriages are definitely Western untouchables. To many, as inconceivable and as loathsome as slavery. To be fair, there are Muslim jurists who hold diverse opinions on them. The anonymous fellow claims that amongst the Prophet’s companions polygamy was the rule, rather than the exception. True or not, the Qur’an has only one or at most two verses in which plural marriage is mentioned and it is more by way of permission than anything else. But Shariah law is more than the Qur’an and “Salafists” prioritise various hadiths from the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad and customs as normative. Still, important not to tar all Muslims over with the same brush. There is a range of scholarly opinions amongst the ulama. The Caliphate boys are only one strand. Horror of the rising Khilafah engenders odd bedfellows. Iran, formerly part of an “axis of evil”, appears now, wonder of all wonders, as a potential ally in stopping ISIS & co. Of course, that will only embitter and inflame the sectarian strife running through the Middle East and the vast world of Islam: part of a plan? Will the Caliphate be reborn from its ashes, like the phoenix? ---- http://www.5pillarz.com/2014/06/23/the-global-fear-over-the-rise-of-the-khilafah/ --- interesting..... It is an interesting article indeed but I would not want to live under these blood-thirsty barbarians under any circumstances. They can take their Khalifah with them to hell.

They are too late to protest now. Somalis do not understand what protesting means. These intoxicated drug addicts think that making unnecessary noise and traffic jam in the streets in the very last hour would alter the decision taken by the government!! Why did they not protest when the deliberations about the ban were being made in parliament months ago? Why did they not support their Kenyan drug dealers when they came to the UK to lobby parliament? Somalis lived in this great democratic country for decades now but unfortunately will never learn anything.

<cite> @galbeedi said:</cite> Kheyr, the intension my thread wasn't about ballot box or democracy, but the moral foundation of backward people , which is jealousy and unhealthy competing interests. Failed people and nations always blame someone else for their conditions. The thread showed how far Somalis would take small disagreements. The Afghans you are talking about have been killing one another for thirty years. Now atleast they have a chance to move forward regardless of the conflict. "Allah doesn't change the condition of the people unless they change what is in their Hearts". Wuxuu yidhi " ninkii dhalaalayaba ninbaa dhoobada ugu jira". Everyone of us want to shine without lifting the heavy load and dirtying our hands. By the way elections and selecting leaders by ballot box is a an Islamic tradition, which neither the Saudis nor other Islamic scholars of history would address. Just before Umar Binul Khataab(RA), passed away, he convened the most important "asaxaaba", of his time, especially those the Jannah has been promised by Allah " the Ashara Mubashireen", to discuss his successor. He selected six men, among them, Xudayfa binu Yamaan, Cisman Binu cafaan, Ali Binu Abi Tali, and C/rahman Binu cowf. He said the leader of the Ummah must be selected among these six. He told his son Abdurahman, " if they become tie, you must break the tie, and you must vote which ever way Abdurahman binu Cowf votes". " They must be sequestrated ( just like the way juries are sequestrated here in the west), and within certain time they must choose the leader". " after the verdict is announced, who ever opposes must be prosecuted and condemned". That was how Cismaan Binu Cafaan was selected. During the American election of 2000, there was a huge debate and disagreement in the state of Florida. After long protracted legal and political maneuvering, the decision and the case was put in front of the UNited State Supreme Court. After deliberations, they declared George Bush, the winner. Al Gore, the vice president of USA and the other contestant, held a press conference after the verdict. He said " I disagree with verdict of the supreme court judges, but I accept". At that moment , if he said I reject the verdict, he would have been arrested and charged with contempt of court. That was the tradition of Umar Binu Khattab. Also , when somebody is condemned to death penalty in America, before he is executed, members of the media, victims of the murderer, his family, the state prosecutors, the government and selected members of the public must be present. Then, they will put him the lethal injection in his veins. THe Islamic tradition says when you kill people or even animals , you must use a swift and humane way in order for them not to feel less pain as possible. also the public must know. by doing these the American justice system is following that tradition. Now, THe Taliban and others bring the condemned to the soccer stadium, force people to fill up the stands and then shoot him/her with AK47. Most of those brought to be executed in public are poor helpless people or women accused of adultery. Which one is the Sunnah. Rather than bite the hand that feeds you or put down the land you are calling home at the moment , learn and copy it's strengths , and avoid their weaknesses. What I have seen in our culture, Somalis do not like people giving compliments or even praising someone. I bet if someone talks about the goodness of the societies that we live, you will immediately called self hating or worse. Homunculus, I may have been harsh to them, but when I look the logic of Somalia been divided by useless reasons, it will reflect in the bigger world. That is why I will never accept small family of Somalia divide in two or more quarreling tribal states , infiltrated by masked Saudi inspired nihilistic movements. Finally , by working hard and producing like the Germans, the small petty quarrels and the scarcity of the small meagre resources that we are fighting to gain may became abundant. That was the moral of the story. A good lesson for Khayr. The guy believes that if something is associated with the west, then it is un-Islamic and must be opposed.

We dont take over other peoples lands We r obviously different people but we look so alike.

<cite> @Homunculus said:</cite> I'm curious what made you think that I wanted them to be coached by a white guy? Anyway, based on their game they lack discipline and they don't play like a team, lacking resources is a fact of life for an African team I even read somewhere that the Ghanian team were angry that their FIFA money didn't get to them. Alpha is right, Africa needs not only white football managers but in fact is desperate for white masters :-D
