And it is starting to rain again as I type! The death toll in Somaliland is quite low compared to other Somali areas - just heavy rain which if it continues for few days can cause damage and floods. Subxanallah may allah aid all those affected- particularly the homeless and those who live in shacks/ nomads. Its been windy and cold. Disaster has no religion, politics or division - therefore the response should have no distinction. What other "Somali areas" might that be?

I'm of the opinion that we shouldn't be paying much attention to them, these issues don't contribute nothing to advancement of mankind, extremely weak focus. I totally agree with you. As for Safferz, this is my last reply to you directly. I shouldn't have went out of my way to entertain your ideas/opinions.

Safferz;985710 wrote: Asking the wrong questions, as usual. The point is that there's nothing simple about colonialism or neocolonial interventions in Africa, the Middle East or elsewhere, so the simple reasoning that it's because of religion just doesn't cut it. However culture/religion does become the language to mask what are political and economic aims. Magicbird posted that verse after I said most US interventions were in the Caribbean and Latin America, not the Muslim world, so clearly this verse has no relevance to American imperialism and its ambitions. Again, you're deflecting my question pertaining to your arrogant way in tossing away the verse as "devoid of context" [in your own words]. Let's put aside this whole "Cultural Colonialism and "Neocolonial Interventions in Africa" you're trying to use as a deflection to avoid my simple question in regards to a simple verse from the Quran by the member magicbird. magicbird quoted this verse: "And never will the Jews or the Christians approve of you until you follow their religion".(Baqarah:120) You replied with, "Ukhti, and no, it's not as simple as quoting verses of Quran devoid of context and rejecting analysis." I'm asking you, what is the context of this verse, you think? Does one need to analysis to really understand what Allah meant by when he said this verse?

Safferz;985675 wrote: Ukhti, and no, it's not as simple as quoting verses of Quran devoid of context and rejecting analysis. How simpler can this verse be? :confused: But, I'll do the courtesy of asking before coming to a conclusion, using your "scholarly" approach, what do you think the context of this verse is? Apophis, I said this before and I'll say it again. These "Muslim" women will only get a book deal, a grant of some sort, exclusively given, if they're to go back to their country of origin, to shot a small documentary, incriminating their culture and religion and of course a little air-time on a National news, talking about their ordeal, before ending it with their own emancipation proclamation to free the women from the "chains of Islam".

Galkacyo, Somaliland. Kismaayo, Somaliland. Boorama, Somaliland. Las Anod, Somaliland. Baidoba, Somaliland. Beled Xawo, Somaliiland.
