No cimaamad, not an ICU soldier. Easy!

"If for nothing else, ICU should be punished for making Islam as mcdonalds and cocacola comercial with actors fashioned in arab and pakistani garb. We did not become moslems and kept being moslems through the millenia by allowing imposters and fly by night "Mahdis" to play with our religion" Ya xabashi, what is the shiekh refering to? You cant just post a quote without telling us what he talking of now. Give us an insight into what he is talking about.

At least one person was reported injured but a plane carrying leaders of the Islamic group that holds the city landed on the runway afterwards. The two senior leaders of the UIC, Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys and Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, flew into Mogadishu airport shortly after the Ethiopian air strike. bbc.co.uk poor Ethio, that raw meat must have been waiting for him back at the base.

I have a clear mind and heart mate. Expose all you like to compensate for your lack of Somalinimo.

^^Saxib, POWs should not be kept until the whole land is captured and secured. They should be glad they are alive period!

Duke, I think that is evidence that you lost this particular argument/debate. Go back to changing diapers mate!

Takbir!

Duke, nice try but that wasnt me.

What do you want me to do Duke? I have already denied it. If you wish to believe thats me so be it! I have no time for Somali iskusheegs

Sorry to burst your bubble Duke, but Allah as my witness that was not posted by me. As you are well aware we have many silent readers here. Its not my fault many Somalis feel they need to express their support for the ICU and not become 'Somali iskusheegs' like you and others on here, whether on this site or others. The scecesionist is more 'Somali' than you today! ps funny thing is Duke, most Planders oppose the xabashis bombing Somalis. What happened to you?

source?

Xabashi aka Somali who supports a gaal killing his people. How sad!

Ninka bariis siya!

HA, give up saxib, the majority of SOL'ers know your thinking. It doesnt need a four page thread!

Today you use warplanes, tomorrow you will have Bob Gledof organise a concert. What a country!

^^Amiin A very sad day(s), cant even concentrate at work ya akhi. Testing times indeed but stand up and be counted. Support in any which way possible.

"Here, we were Muslims before the Mecca people, before the Medina people," he said. "We have the original books, and we are sharing the original Islam. They cannot tell us what Islam is." Elias Redman, vice president of the Ethiopian Islamic Affairs Supreme Council (EIASC) Is this chap saying it is OK to bomb fellow muslims? Is he saying evicting invading forces from Muslim lands is NOT jihad? Is this your justification for your anti ICU stance xabashiyo?

This guy is probably in the best position to expose Ethiopia and its ways towards Somalia. But he is another lost soul! I hope Mr. Raageh does a piece of his own this week.

I wonder how many of those who question the rightiousness of the ICU members wake up for fajer every morning? Today you are either a Somali or you are not regardless of your political 'orientation'. Are you Somali?

Ethiopia PM admits Somalia action Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi has admitted for the first time that his troops are fighting in Somalia. Mr Meles said his country was forced to go to war to defend its sovereignty against what he called terrorists and anti-Ethiopian elements. His troops have been attacking fighters from the Union of Islamic Courts (UIC) in four areas of southern Somalia. The BBC's Amber Henshaw in Addis Ababa says there has been a significant escalation in the conflict. The UIC, which has seized control of much of southern and central Somalia, says Ethiopian troops have been fighting alongside government forces for months. 'Air strikes' Fighting between the transitional government and forces loyal to the UIC now stretches over 400km (250 miles), our correspondent says. "As of today our defence forces have launched a counter-offensive, which is completely legal and proportional, on these anti-peace forces [the UIC]," Mr Zenawi said. "We are not trying to set up a government for Somalia, nor do we have an intention to meddle in Somalian internal affairs. We have only been forced by the circumstances. "We want to end this war urgently and we hope that Ethiopian people stand by the defence forces." Speaking in Addis Ababa, the Somali ambassador, Abdikarin Farah, who represents the transitional government, said it was still ready to negotiate with the UIC. "We are not the people who are pushing the war; we are not the people who are advancing. We are only defending ourselves - that's it. But still the negotiation, it's open and we are ready to have some kind of ceasefire." Ethiopia says its forces have killed hundreds of Islamists, but Ibrahim Hassan Addow, foreign secretary for the UIC, told the BBC the Ethiopians were lying and that his forces were holding their own. Air strikes and shelling have been reported in border areas. Eyewitnesses said Ethiopian fighters were bombarding the UIC-held town of Beledweyne near the border, on the fifth day of renewed fighting. "The enemy of Allah has started bombing our civilians," Sheikh Hassan Derrow told AFP news agency. A resident told AFP: "We see planes striking us and heavy fighting on the ground intensifying." Ethiopia, however, denies that its jets have dropped bombs. The Islamist group - which controls most of the south, including the capital, Mogadishu - on Saturday appealed for foreign fighters to join its troops in a "holy war" against Ethiopia. The UN estimates that at least 8,000 Ethiopian troops may be in the country, while rival Eritrea is said to have deployed some 2,000 troops in support of the Islamic group. However, Eritrean President Isaias Afewerki denied his country had troops deployed in Somalia. bbc.co.uk
