If Sharif is pinning his hopes on tired recycled characters, then God help him.

Johnny...Apart from your obsession with anything Islam, why are you against them? On lighter note,If there's anything Al-Shabaab achieved, it would be making Johnny embracing the Islamic government of Somalia..Who knows if they keep it up, they might even make you wear Surwaal Khamiis.

By JEFFREY GETTLEMAN Monday, June 01, 2009 NAIROBI, Kenya — Somalia is once again a raging battle zone, with jihadists pouring in from overseas, preparing for a final push to topple the transitional government. The government is begging for help, saying that more peacekeepers, more money and more guns could turn the tide against the Islamist radicals. But the reality may be uglier than either side is willing to admit: Somalia has become the war that nobody can win, at least not right now. None of the factions — the moderate Islamist government, the radical Shabab militants, the Sufi clerics who control some parts of central Somalia, the clan militias who control others, the autonomous government of Somaliland in the northwest and the semiautonomous government of Puntland in the northeast — seem powerful enough, organized enough or popular enough to overpower the other contenders and end the violence that has killed thousands over the past two years. Somalia analysts say the main event, the government versus the Shabab, will drag on for months, fueled by outside support on both sides. The United Nations and Western countries see the transitional government, however feeble, as their best bulwark against piracy and Islamist extremism in Somalia, and are pumping in hundreds of millions of dollars for the government’s security. At the same time, the Shabab are kept afloat by an influx of weapons and fighters, much of it reported to be flowing through neighboring Eritrea. The Shabab, more than anyone else, have succeeded in internationalizing Somalia’s conflict and using their jihadist dreams to draw in foreign fighters from across the globe, including the United States. The Shabab, which means youth in Arabic, are a mostly under-40 militia who espouse the strict Wahhabi version of Islam and are guided, according to American diplomats, by another, better-known Wahhabi group: Al Qaeda. web page

^Who are the "civilized" people?

Malika...Koleey waxbaa soo guuxaya,I'm not sure if A&T is key though.

Amman, Jordan; and Jerusalem - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and senior members of his cabinet have pushed back hard against a renewed US demand to end settlement activity in the occupied Palestinian territories. Interior Minister Eli Yishai said Sunday that it amounted to "expulsion." But 53 Israeli parliamentarians have moved to explore another kind of expulsion: Under a proposal to be reviewed this week, Jordan would become the official homeland for Palestinians now living in the West Bank. Among the challenges facing the proposal is this: nobody asked Jordan if it would support such a plan. Not surprisingly, it doesn't. Nearly half of the Knesset's 120 members moved last Wednesday to pass the "two states for two peoples on the two banks of the River Jordan" proposal on to the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee for further discussion. Israeli officials say the Knesset's vote does not represent the government's position and is unlikely to become official policy, while analysts dismiss it as a bid from the far right to undermine Mr. Netanyahu. But for many in Jordan, the bill personifies concerns about Israel's new, conservative government and its lack of commitment to the peace process. "It has done big damage," says Mamdouh Abbadi, a member of the Jordanian parliament who has been among the most vocal in calling for government action against the proposal. "Even if it's not passed, when 53 members of the parliament [Knesset] accept this law in the first reading, this is very important. We can't think it's just for show; it's the real thinking of the Israeli parliament and they represent the people." Last week, Jordan's foreign minister summoned the Israeli ambassador to deliver an official letter rejecting the idea and calling for the Israelis to stop the bill last week. In parliament, a group of at least 36 lawmakers are working to encourage their government to take strong action against Israel. web page

The theme of virginity, forced marriage and sexual repression which populated in Ayaan Hirsi stories feeds western male sexual fantasies for anybody with a computer and an access to the internet can attest that ads for ‘penis enlargement’ techniques, ‘Viagra’ and pornographic promise of ‘virgin sluts’ often aim at meeting the sexual fantasies of white western male consumers. Hence, from the standpoint of western collective unconscious, false praises which are bestowed on Ayaan Hirsi Ali often mask the fact that she voices deeply held white male fantasies which cannot be uttered openly by the commentators of both left and right Eurocentric ideological camps. Maybe someone else in here who prescribes to and wholly believes in the idea that the West have reached Nirvana which all humanity should bow to also gets off Ayan's message.

^There isn't much to address-one who insults the faith of billion with no deference to views and worse no end goal shouldn't be given platform to spew her nuisance. I rather listened to this brilliant Somali. Part II

^Hadaad kalkooliney faa,iidadaa ugu fadhidid maxaa waaye. Duke...Waxaa la yiri, fuleey baa qabiil ku daba ganbada. I'm sure Fuad could personally b*cht slap you here, there, and everywhere. I guess you could always Alla tol aheey. Fuad rooms freely in Xamar, while Yeey was cooped up in holde.

Wacdaraha...Looooooo ooooooooL@my towns....Keep them duqa oo kalkooli oo laabta kuhey. Duke....Sharif needs support. If you believe he's the last hope, then why not support him? Emperor...The stakes are high in Xamar. I don't think one could afford to sit on the fence, or half-heartedly support the government. What happens has consequences for all!

Lazy...Al-Shabaab without Aweys...The man looks like another Yeey. Wacadaraha....Stop being little girl.Edab yeelo. Adeerkaa Duke haduu sheekeenayo haka daba hadlin. For the love of God Duke, it's simple question, who would support Sharif vs Shabaab. And before you go off tangent, yes Pland is this, that and alot. Even dear Lazy is singing your praises, but do you support in Xamar

Now, forget my wet dreams and answer the questions. What Puntland thinks matters little in Xamar, but the fight is between Sharif and Shabaab, who do you support?

I was under the impression we were talking about minor bad behaviors but not a criminal act or qowm lut and its borderline. This is sickness. Najjeynaa. Actions are action no matter how minor or major. Would you still judge that person. And it is funny you said criminal and hence described the man's penal terms. Now imagine if the said woman in this story flashed her boobs, or a man exposed his himself-we wouldn't be having this discussion. Everybody would have been send her to jail!

^Just for argument's sake, could you seperate pedophile from actions?

^ What one does is indeed between them and their Creator, but the behavior or actions of any couple "snogging" in public place is clearly Islamically wrong. There are no any ambiguities there unless religion is relative thing. Pointing out something Islamically wrong is not judging! I think that's what Blessed is trying get at. Geeljire -Sheekadaas, do as I say, not as I did waaye Goodir ..I try to remember what's good about a person instead what's bad, but the actions of the person does determine how you react to him/her wether we wanna admit or not. I try my best to hold their actions against him/her, but there are indeed times one won't able to reconcile or seperate the person from the action.

^Understood, but don't you have opinion of that person solely based on their actions?
