Hmmm... I've been scratching my head. But I couldn't find answers First it was Indha Cadde. Now, Sheikh Shariif. Talk about classical espionage. :confused:

^^ Viva Chinese, sorry, Somali Poetry. Whatever the hell it means. LOL

^^ Some faarax tried to get into your pants? It's all about hitting that shidh. Don't date.

Bovvered? Trust the Brits to make up weird words. One more reason to hate those borish Brits.

My conclusion: there was a disagreement between the scholars as to the islamic legality of this so-called Jihad. Anyone who denies is being dishonest. Whose Ijtihad was right is a different question. If I could only read arabic fiqh books on Jihad.

MKA Yoonis: I am really ignorant when it comes to Somali Scholars. Can someone enlighten me? I'd like a brief biographical sketch of those scholars Rahima considers to be incomparable (Shariif Cabdi Nuur,Umal or Mustafa or Cukaasha) and those that you consider to be "patron saints" (Gacamey). I don't know any of them. Are there any websites dedicated to them? Please don't tell me that Somalis evaluate scholars in terms of where they're from. That's pure madness.

^^ I guess PMS can take it's toll. If you turn blue, you'll never need pills again. Try it.

xiinfaniin, duqa, don't be toothless horse now. Dude, let me repeat it. Publising the capture of these men will hinder the arleady fragile peace. That's why I don't think it should be publicized. Comprende? Besides, if you have problems with anything I said in other threads, then post it there. Tell me why it's wrong. Don't save up all your criticism and then write a one liner insult. Gimme a break!

Even if they are captured, it shouldn't be publicized. God knows his little minions will start burning their own houses in a fit of rage.

All this talk about hairy balls suggests recent matrimony. LOL Congrats are in order, no?

I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying that I approved of it. Mark Twain Abu Paragon has died from the politics forum. Long live Abu Paragon. I wonder which new nick he will go by now. Abu Butcher? LOL

Yoonis, keep up the good work, dude. Thanks for the summary.

^^ When did it start to become juvenile? Anyhow, it's just easier to throw insults and epithets. Hardly any thought process involved. It's tempting.

Yes. This demonstration is not against the TFG. It's not against Ethiopians. It's a demonstration of a tribe that wants to secede. Hilarious.

NGONGE, sometimes I wonder if SOL and other internet outlets are indicative of what's on the ground. If expatriate Somalis support things purely for clannish purposes, it would make sense that Somalis in Somalia are equally, if not more, clannish. Strangely enough, I still don't think this is the case. I think most residents of Mogadishu support any government irrespective of who runs it. Hordes of people welcomed the Prime Minister and President. I think most people are more war weary than they are clannish. Obviously, there are some residents of Mogadishu who oppose anything and everything this government stands for, but they are a minority. If they weren't a minority, the government would suffer more than small skirmishes in the capital. Lastly, Ali Mahdi, Abdi Qasim Salad and other giant politicians (former) have met with the President and supported the government, although I'm sure with some caveats. Even the former warlords agreed to disarm. This is a national effort. Puntlanders alone don't have the wherewithal to bring all of this together. It's a collective Somali effort. I hope for the best.

^^ Abu Paragon's reasoning: the government belongs to the tribe of the president (the puntlanders). Dude, is this how cultivated a liberal arts or humanities education makes you? I always knew all those Somalis who studied Political Science and other arts programs were not so bright. Look no further than Paragon. LOL. Anyhow, the government is run by a group of men who hail from different parts of Somalia. These group of men have powerful political advisers (Ethiopia, US). That's all. I've seen some people who support the TFG because they think it belongs to their sub-sub clans. There are others who don't support it because they think it belongs to certain sub-clans. Both groups are, as NGNONGE would say, obtuse and duplicitous. The government "belongs" to all Somalis regardless of what some deluded proponents and opponents say.

Castro, I think the satire/sarcasm in my post went over your head. Read it again. This time slowly. By the way, Prokarayotes are simplex little creatures. But I think a thing has to satisfy the condition of being a eukarayote before I even consider its testimony. Dude, take the dunce hat off. Keep your emotions in check.

^^ Ereterian logistics and support for the ICU was just a rumor. Besides, even if there was any, those that helped were all muslims. Whoever disagrees with this is a clan worshiper. Bal waxaas dhagaysta. And people wonder why ICU was swiftly defeated.

Duke, duqa, how come AllPuntland wasn't shut down? What's the reasoning behind shutting down these particular out-lets. I know they're anti-government stations. But so what?

^^ LOL. People, people, it's called hadith science 101. Someone gives you a testimony about what someone else said, or about an event that happened. Believe it or not, before you accept their testimony, they have to exhibit intellectual competence (along with piety and other factors). So, I don't accept what full time goat-herders and shoe-makers say. Oh yes, this also includes animals and plants. Ayyoub, is that the secessionist flag I see in your avatar. What did the SNS, spy-turned-president, Daahir Riyaale, say when he went to Ethiopian capital. I hear, he took a bouqet of flowers with him. LOL.

^^ Castro, I bet "shopper" here is just some sort of euphemism for a butcher, ama habar hilibka iibisa. I don't think the testimony of butchers, night watchmen, and goat-herders are credible. What do the intellectuals of the cities say? The Doctors, Professors, and literate folks? Dude, you should be a little more discriminating in your sources. Taking the statements of shoppers and wikepedia as gospel truth, eh? Priceless

^^ Abu Paragon, sheekhow, the window of "Jihad" is still open. Go to Xamar ASAP, and starting shooting at the TFG forces and thier allies. If you're lucky, you will die the same day. LOL.

These are the true Somalis. Not the warmongering Abu Abus on this forum. Hats off to these Patriots.
