caydarus Posted May 12, 2011 I don't understand what Al-Shabab really want! Do they want to have the suffering of our people continue forever or they are up to a solution. I think they are missing the latter and they just want to have Somalis suffer everywhere on this earth. They don't have any mission of establishing a system of governance other than the rhetoric of rulin by Sharia. First of all, Sharia forbids sheding the blood of innocent people and urges you to reconcile with your Muslim brother first (if Alshabab believe every Somali who disagrees with them is not Muslim) then they are taking in the position of being Judge than being a system of Nation. Because a system of Nation does more than having each of it's member becoming Judges. It has more sophisticated system of governence like the judicial branch which handles the accountability of its members and holds them into known standards. For example those standards are very much defined in Islam and every Muslim government that rulled Muslims adared to those standards, but Al is missing that element and it has all its members handle any case regardless of its merrits. Simple fact is, this group should seize its claim onto Islam as over all and go to its roots of tribalism which has less damage and has a system that can deal with its memebers and external tribes. Branding guns and yelling a religious words won't make them Islamic, because their actions and intent is based on pure clanish motives period. Read the history of Al-itihad, Al-ictisam and now Al-shabab! We as Somalis deserve better than warlordism, and religion portrayed in pure personal interests. We need to stand up and say enough is enough! Our people suffered long enough and we should end this now and never let it happen again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
caydarus Posted May 12, 2011 Al Shabaab basically wants to gain CONTROL and RULE Somalia. We have seen tribe being used as a method to gain control in the country, now we see these group clinging onto Islam as a means to dominate the people. Using religion as a means to rule people, without having the proper knowledge of it, is very deadly things. And, we see that with the weird "sharia" imposed laws by Al Shabaab. No wonder, the first thing Allah Ta'aal has commanded Muslims to do is "READ" Iqra. And ironically, the first thing he created was the Pen. People always need a reason to justify their acts, to normalize their violence acts...Thus, Al Shabaab is using Islam as scapegoat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
