Originally posted by David_Letterman: the borana's and others living in Kenya during a referendum also rather joined Somalia than Kenya or Ethiopia Speaking of the Borana in Kenya, I have seen (years ago) some documentary about them, and they didn't appear to me as Muslims (rather animists). As a result of an influx of Somalis to Kenya during the past few decades, have they embraced Islam?

Originally posted by mantra: The reason Somalis don't already have such an organization, not for lack of want, is because quite simply we don't want to do anything, we're lazy and apathetic, what could be more worse? I think you're a bit harsh. How does it help blaming or overgeneralizing? It doesn't. Instead, if you think you know how to fix the problem(s), I am sure there are at least a few hundreds (out of tens thousands) who are active and enthusiastic about doing something to fix the problem(s), and who are willing to lend their efforts. You lead and organize the efforts and see where it leads. It's worth to study, review and learn from the mistakes of many organizations who have failed to deliver results, so to avoid mistakes. Yes, there have been many failed organizations that disintegrated, of which one of the primary reasons of failure is; the organization become a family enterprise to enrich a few closely-related individuals. It's also worth to study, review and learn from non-Somali organizations; what it takes to be as successful. My thinking is, in order for a Somali organization to have a modicum of success, it should be based on volunteerism (i.e., 2hrs a week).

Originally posted by raadamiir: Why are you defending these killers are they related to you? They aren't the killers; they are being wrongly accused in order to alienate the people. I am defending them, bacause I share with them Islamic ideology.

Originally posted by Abu_Geeljire: I also disapprove of Ayman Al Zawahiri's propoganda, which states western civilians are legitimate targets because they apparently support and elect the governments. Western civilians elect their governments and give it a mandate or license to invade, occupy Muslim countries and target its civilians; so what's wrong with Zawahiri's logic? Doesn't Islam say attack your attackers with how they attack you? It's not like Iraqis went to the US or UK to target its civilians; it's the US and UK that undertook thousands of miles to invade, occupy Iraq and target its civilians.

Originally posted by Ahmed_Guree: Red sea i could say the most racist Qabil in Somalia is from Woqoyi. Their Culama failed to teach them about the evil of Nazism What you could say is nonsensical and irrelevant. Did you conduct a psychological research to conclude there's such an absurd thing as "the most racist Qabil in Somalia"? And what has "the evil of Nazism" got to do with the Culama from Waqooyi? What's the connection between the two? You make ridiculous and absurd allegations.

It's claimed Somalis are homogeneous; of one ethnic group who share the same culture and language. How valid is that claim? And how important is being homogeneous? Discuss.

Originally posted by Abu_Geeljire: Somalis don't need the advice of "Dr Al Zawahiri".This the same guy that encouraged Somalis to use suicide attacks.......... You disapprove of suicide attacks?

Originally posted by Mujaahid: Red Sea: What are you thoughts and concerns of this, and if this has any chance of happening? Will the U.S invade Iran? The answer is no; the US is incapable of invading Iran. It lacks enough manpower and resources to mount such a monumental invasion. However, there's a possibility the US would mount limited attacks (especially aerial) against Iran; Iran's response would be devastating and painful. In any case, I encourage a US attack against Iran, because it would benefit the global Islamic insurgency.

Originally posted by Khalaf: even the arabs/s.asia who call themselves muslims will discriminate other muslims who are black.... Incorrect. It's seculars (regardless of color) who discriminate other Muslims. For instance, secular Somalis discriminate those Somalis they consider inferior, low caste, iwm like the Midgaan, Somali Bantus, Tumaal, iwm. Islamists do not discriminate other Muslims.

Originally posted by Abdi2005: I think personaly that an american defeat in iraq and Afganistan will also pave a victory for islamic courts in Somalia. Many are disappointed at the courts for retreating and abandoning their fronts, but what the islamic courts did was the right thing because they would not be able to hold this fronts for ever, americans would never let ethiopians to be defeated. So they had two options total defeat without possibility to recover or change the tactic. And we have all seen what the Americans did afterwards they ware involved in it 100%. Good analysis.

Originally posted by Dabshid: But Ill-trained ICU soldiers with morter can create this, the mortars,old weapon,pre-WWII, which is not smart, and was killing somalis, specially residents of MOgadishu, for the last 16 years! Incorrect. The ICU soldiers aren't ill-trained, and they possess fairly modern weapons and arms, not pre-WWII. These are the same soldiers who defeated the secular warlords and easily overrun most of Somalia, winning battle after battle. It took the firepower of the sole superpower and allies (Ethiopia, Kenya, iwm) to push them back.

Originally posted by Abu_Geeljire: I didn't bother read the article.Because the question of the thread is actually very ignorant. The question was asked by Elias Biryabarema. What is ignorant about it?

Originally posted by Sky: LOL @ UIC will be back. Some people just don't get it. So, you think it's impossible the ICU can come back to rule Somalia?

Originally posted by Alle-ubaahne: I salute the great men in the Islamic Courts of Somalia who presented a remarkable public work to their people, with a lasting and an immaculate cause for the people of Somalia! I second that salute. Somalis will never forget what they have tasted (justice, peace, equality, transparency, iwm) under the rule of the ICU. Jihad and resistance all the way until Sharia' is restored back to Somalia, insha'Allah. Allahu Akbar!

Originally posted by raadamiir: Who cares about that loser!!! The majority of Somalis minus the collaborators care about him.

Originally posted by Dabshid: Iraqi style! The occupiers and collaborators do it and then blame it on the insurgency. It didn't work in Iraq, and won't work in Somalia.

Originally posted by Bokero: Somalis kill more somalis Incorrect. It's Ethiopia that kills more Somalis by way of outsourcing the killing through Somali warlords and collaborators. Ethiopia has been arming, financing and supporting those warlords and collaborators since the start of the civil war.

Originally posted by abu ansaar17: why is it black people associate themselves based on race? look at the world, people are aligned based on beliefs and ideologies not based on color. Good point.

Originally posted by mystic: did you hear, America said it will open a base in Africa, to stop AQ from taking root. They haven't mentioned which country they are going to have their base at. But i am willing to bet that it is non other than Somalia. They have already a base in Djibouti. If the news is about a new base, there are a number of regions (Waqooyi Galbeed, Bari, iwm) whose secular leaders are more than willing to welcome America and its bases. However, this news is merely a PR stunt, as opening bases means very little. They have many bases in Iraq and Afghanistan; what effect does it has on the insurgencies of those countries? Negligible effect. America is losing in both countries, and it's a matter of time (not if) before it's forced to withdraw out of there.
