This is what you claimed: Originally posted by Violet: The Beja,Afar,Somali,Oromo etc. look A LOT alike. They look different from non-Cushitics like the Habasha(who are 'Semitic') and the Kikuyu( who are 'Bantu'). Summary of what you claimed: The Beja, Afar, Somali, Oromo, etc are Cushitic and look a lot alike. The Habesha do not look like the Cushitic, therefore they are non-Cushitic, hence Semitic. Your above link is about Cushitic languages, not about Habesha being Semitic. A modicum of professionalism on your part is in order. Please don't waste our time with nonsenses.

Originally posted by Violet: The Habasha are Semitic..google it. The term Habesha refers to Ethiopians and Eritreans, and more specifically and historically to the Semitic-speaking peoples of Ethiopia and Eritrea. Within this more specific definition, it is usually used to refer to just the two politically dominant Semitic-speaking Amhara and Tigray-Tigrinya ethnic groups of Ethiopia and Eritrea who are predominantly Coptic Christians. The Amhara and Tigray ethnicities combined make up about 36% of Ethiopia's population (ca. 23 million Amhara, 4.5 million Tigray) while Tigrinyas make up about half of Eritrea's population (ca. 2.25 of 4.5 million). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habesha Your logic: Semitic-speaking = non-Cushitic Are the Amhara and Tigray non-Cushitic? :confused:

Originally posted by Crystal_Clear: is it haram? Good question. Before I answer your question, answer mine; if it's haram, is it safe to say you will shun it?

Originally posted by UK_ROSE: If you were in my position would you actually tell the person about their dress sense or colour of cloths? If I were in your position, I would first tell the person not to buy from Pizza Hut. At Pizza Hut, they offer bacon, ham, pork, sausage, beef or chicken as toppings. There's a minimal chance a tiny part of those toppings could make its way on the pizza you buy. And then, I would advise him to dress conservatively.

Originally posted by Dhubad: So what is your take in this? Since the clan president issued an executive order allowing the occupiers to erect their flag in the occupied land, Violet is probably OK with it.

GD and a few others support the TFG, while many support the ICU. You don't support either, but support Hargeiysa?

Originally posted by STOIC: First, we all need to understand that this is a movie and not a true-life story of Idi Amin. Well, movies play a critical role in people's lives (at least those in the West). Movies raise people from children, young adults to grownups. Much of what those people learn from life, beliefs, human relationships, history, iwm comes from movies. Movies are facts and realities to them. To those people, movie stars are role models to emulate, eventhough the lives of those stars are marked by drug & alcohol abuse, family dysfunctions & breakups, immorality, weird behaviors, sexual perversion, iwm.

Originally posted by Jacaylbaro: Any evidence ???? ,,,,,,,,, The clan president issued an executive order allowing the business, trade and circulation of the illegal drug known as khaat. Taxes from the illegal drug go into the clan president's bank account. In case if you didn't know, the drug was banned by the ICU. ,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,

Originally posted by SYL: No wonder why Kenya happily joined the Ethio-American invasion of Somalia. Indeed; the invasion has an economic dimension. Let's also not forget, Ethiopia annually exports +$60 millions worth of khaad to Somalia. In addition to being the top warlord and war criminal, the clan president is also in the business of trading and profiteering from illegal drugs.

Jacaylbaro was born in the early 70's.

Originally posted by General Duke: However those who have occupied looted properties and lived on illegal emans for so long, just hate change. What about the Ethiopian occupiers? Wait! They are guests of the clan president? Right?

Originally posted by Violet: No, he meant the USC which was later renamed the ICU. Yours is a logical fallacy. If I go along with what you have stated, then it would mean Caydiid and Qaybdiid are part of the ICU instead of the TFG. Try to make some sense.

Originally posted by Violet: How bout you answer my questions? You can't abolish clan, you can reduce it's influence, but you can not abolish it. Did I say you can abolish clan? No. I said the ICU encouraged Somalis to abolish the mistreatment of Somalis considered low caste or inferior. Nonetheless, the Somali clanism (not clan which is about ancestry, identity, diversity, iwm) as we know can be abolished or reduced to irrelevancy. Somalis are part of humanity. Among the wider societies of humanity, clanism is almost nonexistent or irrelevant. Somalis aren't a different breed of humanity; what can work for others can work for Somalis. Since Somalis are Muslims, this can only work through Sharia'.

Originally posted by General Duke: They [warlords] started a war which they lost badly. You meant the ICU? I think you're exhausted.

Originally posted by Taako Man: So 'Sheik' Indhacadde was really a Qari, Imam, Sheik, Mufti all in one? WOW. You're implying he was all those in one?

Originally posted by General Duke: Ok there have been fake Mahdi's right? So why not fake religious movements? Because fake Mahdis do not harm the West; they harm Muslims by misleading them. Islamic movements, however, are dangerous to the West.

Originally posted by General Duke: Take the guns away from the few districts of Mogadishu and what do you have? Victory for the clan president?

Originally posted by Violet: So we're meant to ignore the fact that the leaders of this movement were from one clan because they claimed to be Islamic? You're misinformed; the ICU isn't based on a clan system, let alone one clan. The other thing, in modern history, no movement can claim to be Islamic without being a genuine Islamic movement. It simply cannot be a fake Islamic movement. Why? Because the West would ensure to destroy such movements, even if they claim to be Islamic for fun. If you think otherwise, I challenge you to cite two examples of fake Islamic movements.

So, the unmasking is supposed to defeat them? Or are they already defeated?
