Yo, i just read the thing and i didn't understand the story probably.Something about someone wanting to go back to their homeland(somalia) or something?

They financed the whole thing like they have done throughout their history, nothing new there.....

Kii Muslimka u dhashay ayaa qamriga caadi la ah, kii soo Islaamay ayaa diidaayo. Adduunka maanta si si kale ayuu u shaqeynoyaa, walaahi. Allah has promised those of you who believe and do right actions that He will make them successors in the land, as He made those before them successors, and will firmly establish for them their religion with which He is pleased and give them, in place of their fear, security. They worship Me, not associating anything with Me. Any who do not believe after that, such people are deviators. (Surat an-Nur, 55)

Did you know sikhs are allowed to carry small swords in heathrow, for "religious reasons"?

Zawahiri can close his mouth and take his anarchist,suicide bombing ideology elsewhere. Once upon a time there was a man, who was commanding an army of 10 000 men, the largest army ever seen in arabia. The man suddenly stopped, when he saw two small puppies in the way and asked a group to guard them in case they they get trampled on. This man was Muhammad may peace be upon him.

The thread about the access to the sea in the politics section........

Here is another from today: "Ethiopians will have to continue to go to war for their rightful access to sea because their continued existence depends on it". Mekonnen Kassa

Good article, the prophet saw predicted that islam will reach every corner of the world and that it's light will reach the West. ps, who bows down 33 times? Lühr bends over, stands up again, takes another bow — up and down, 33 times.

When did argentina join the african union?

I remember some people where silent when the somali nomads where bombed.Even today somalia was bombed who know how many civilians killed.As for i.c.u they need to only target ethiopian soldiers and avoid civilians.

The US has conducted a second air strike in Somalia, US officials said, as the top US envoy in East Africa met an ousted Islamist leader to press for reconciliation with the government.

Khalaf, we do not know whether the sheikh took part in some of the ferocious fighting near ras kamboni.I suspect the west and their allies did not want to kill him anway for political purposes and to not turn him into a martyr.This would further complicate things for the t.f.g. The people who where with him and where fighting in the jungle, know why he left.Most of us are truly speculating, we will never know the true story, in reality.

Maslaxad is not demonising one side and making the other side into saints.This is called self promotion.

Perhaps your right......

The yemeni president chews khat, so he should have some lively discussions with somali politicians..........

Djibouti is about as strategic as they get............

Yonis why don't write his biography......?

If he died he would be a somali hero but know he will remebered as the leader of the "mujahideen" who gave himself up at a refugee camp.

why don't you tell us?

Originally posted by Caamir: Geeljire, Don't you believe that we are very intolerant society? Quote:My point, when Islam is the most widely practiced religion in Ethiopoia, how can we label them as Kufaars? The ruling elites of ethiopia are the tigray and have always being the Christians.Besides i couldn't care how widely practiced islam is in ethiopia.This doesn't legitimaze anything.Ethiopia on paper is a so called federal state but in reality it is dictatorship ruled by Meles Zenawi. Quote;Yes there are Kufaar elements but to label all as Kufaars is disingeneous and misleading. Besides, Ethiopia came to assist us and it is ready to pull its troops anytime. No,ethiopia illegally invaded somalia according to international law.According to the u.n resolution no neighbouring country could send it's military troops to somalia. If ethiopia came to "assist us", then why they did back different warlords against each other for the last sixteen years?The helpers of somalia(c.i.a/ethiopia) where the same ones that supported the brutal warlords. Other somalis may buy the propoganda of times changing and ethiopia being our dear friend. However i have seen with my own eyes the innoncent somalis who fled from zone 5 and live amongst the nomads in northern somalia. The somali inhabited region of ethiopia is the most militarised, human rights abused, poorly developed and hunger prone part of ethiopia. The same ethiopia you are calling our friend has agreements with somaliland, puntland and know the t.f.g, to detain any innoncent person suspected of being of o.n.l.f.This includes clerics and clan elders who can be detained at any time.If this is assitance then god help me.Yesterday i heard ethiopian troops, came to take a "businessman" from his home and this was in muqdisho.............

Saxib djibouti is under the watchful eyes of the Yanks.Geel is sorted.....
