WAS THIS REALLY JUSTIFIED?

[NGONGE]

^^ I have not seen an issue worth commenting on really. The poster is a Christian/Christian sympathiser and he's highlighting an area that concerns him in Somali current events. He's asking you if what happened is justified.

 

Do you think it is? Answer him.

 

(I, frankly, don't care much for the topic itself).

[Abtigiis]

I don't care is evasive. Don't seek my answer. I have said it. Say yours? hadii kale kolba qolad yar ku dhuumo!

[NGONGE]

Heh. Find me a worthy topic, saaxib. This one is not worth my time.

What is hypocritical about my comment?

[True2truth]

It’s incredible to see (in action) when both sides missing the point

[Fabregas]

These Christian websites claim a Christian is killed almost every month. Waa beentood!

[Legend of Zu]

Just from another angle -

What would we do if any muslim revert in the west was killed?

 

Cheers

Oh, I forgot this part - Warsame's question whether the act was justified or not is not relevant to my comment above!

IS THIS JUSTIFIED:

 

A US air strike killed 47 civilians, including 39 women and children, as they were travelling to a wedding in Afghanistan, an official inquiry found today. The bride was among the dead.

 

Another nine people were wounded in Sunday's attack, the head of the Afghan government investigation, Burhanullah Shinwari, said.

 

Fighter aircraft attacked a group of militants near the village of Kacu in the eastern Nuristan province, but one missile went off course and hit the wedding party, said the provincial police chief spokesman, Ghafor Khan.

 

The US military initially denied any civilians had been killed.

 

Lieutenant Rumi Nielson-Green, a spokeswoman for the US-led coalition, told AFP today the military regretted the loss of any civilian life and was investigating the incident.

 

The US is facing similar charges over strikes two days earlier in another border area of Afghanistan.

 

The nine-member inquiry team appointed by the Afghan president, Hamid Karzai, to look into the wedding party incident found only civilians had been killed in the attack.

 

"We found that 47 civilians, mostly women and children, were killed in the air strikes and another nine were wounded," said Shinwari, who is also the deputy speaker of Afghanistan's senate.

 

"They were all civilians and had no links with the Taliban or al-Qaida."

 

Around 10 people were missing and believed to be still under rubble, he said. The inquiry team were shown the bloodied clothes of women and children in a visit to the scene.

 

The Red Cross said 250 people had been killed or wounded in five days of military action and militant attacks in the past week.

 

The toll included the US-led air strikes and a suicide blast outside the Indian embassy in Kabul on Monday that killed more than 40 people, including two Indian envoys.

 

The UN said last month that nearly 700 Afghan civilians had lost their lives this year - about two-thirds in militant attacks and about 255 in military operations.

 

Karzai has pleaded repeatedly for western troops to take care not to harm civilians, and in December wept during a speech lamenting civilian deaths at the hands of foreign forces.

Bravo Jacaylbaro. U sheeg tuugtan morality ka dhex raadinaysa meel aan jirin. In a way, they are supporting the christianization of our society. Waa inaan la dagaalanaa ciddii diinteena fara-gelin ku haysa. Qofkii iskii gaal u noqon isagay u taalaa, but when there is a whole campaign by strong establishments to change our ways of lives and beliefs, we need to fight back. If that earns me intolerant and extremist, so be it.

AND I WONDER HOW THIS WAS JUSTIFIED IN YOUR CHRISTIAN WORLD:

 

 

Villages deserted, burned in Ethiopia's Og*aden-MSF

 

 

NAIROBI, Sept 4 (Reuters) - Villages are burned and deserted, locals are fleeing to the bush, and basic health needs are going unmet during conflict in Ethiopia's ****** region, an international aid agency said on Tuesday.

 

"We found a very precarious situation in a very harsh environment," Medecins Sans Frontieres' (MSF) Ethiopia coordinator Loris De Filippi said of the group's recent assessment missions to the remote region of east Ethiopia.

 

He was speaking at a news conference called by MSF to protest against what it said was Ethiopia's blocking of further access for MSF to provide humanitarian aid to an estimated 400,000 people in three of the worst-affected areas.

 

Prime Minister Meles Zenawi's government has denied blocking MSF, saying it does not maintain any no-go zones in Ethiopia.

 

It has been waging a campaign against ****** National Liberation Front (ONLF) rebels in the zone for several months.

 

De Filippi said three attempts by MSF staff to enter ******'s critical zones in recent days failed, while repeated appeals to Ethiopian authorities had fallen on deaf ears.

 

Two prior assessment missions to the region at the end of June and start of July had been deeply worrying, MSF staff said.

 

"I saw burned out villages. I remember passing a number of villages that were empty other than the elderly and sick," Eileen Skinnider, assistant coordinator for Ethiopia, told the news conference via an Internet link from Canada.

 

"We didn't pass one commercial vehicle ... I saw women and children chased away (by soldiers) trying to collect water from wells ... I saw small groups of men living in the bush."

 

MSF's departure from ****** came after the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said last month it had pulled out of the region following a government order.

 

With journalists effectively blocked from the region, it is hard to verify the humanitarian situation, or the frequent claims and counter-claims of mass casualties and human rights abuses between the government and ONLF.

He was probably a Christian and the wrong clan and preaching.

lol i guess that is some lethal combinations in Somalia!!,

 

yes it is justified if he was a muslim, living in a muslim country, preaching christianity in the same muslim community and was trying to deviate and persuade people from their faith. As a christian from other countries or a somali born christian then that would not be justfied becouse there is no complusion in religion.

my sentiments exactly.

 

 

I always thought that the Somali ethnic group and any religions (like christianity & judaism) other than Islam were incompatible . though i heard about undercover atheists preaching the socialist doctrines.

Man, it must be a bug in this thread or something. Why are people refusing to answer the question and equating one thing with another?

 

Double-X, how about a just and religious society that is tolerant of minority religions?

If freak show is not insult, the reference to Ayan Hirsi is not.

two Muslim men approached Mr. Hussein and asked him if he faces Mecca when he prays (Mohammed instructed his followers to face the city of Mecca when they pray). Hussein told them that as a Christian, he does not have to face a specific direction to pray because God is omnipresent.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL...Stup!d!ty at its best!!!Hakaa saarto dhehee..."don't have to face a specific direction" kuyeh, how about the direction of six feet under? LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL, wey kusugeen walee...
