Despite their preposterous believes and distortion of the sacred Islamic truth, the Shias are nevertheless our misguided brothers and do not deserve our hostility. The support Iran gives to Hizbullah, Bashar Al Asad, and Nouri Al Maliki of Iraq is just a response to the long standing Sunni Arab aggression against the Shia Muslims. When the Iranian people revolted against the Zionist led American imperialists, Saudi Arabia and all the other Sunni Arab tyrannical regimes sided with the Americans and their Zionists masters and financed Saddam's Western sponsored efforts to destroy the Infant Islamic Republic. With the help of Allah, the Iranian people prevailed and were victorious. Since their Islamic revolution, the Iranian people sacrificed everything in order to support the Palestinian cause. Whenever, Israel attacks the Palestinian people, the Lebanese Shias are the only Arabs joining in the fight in support of the Palestinian Sunnis. Lebanon was invaded numerous times by Israel because of the Hizbullah Mujahidiin. It is only the Shia Muslims who are paying a heavy prize to support Sunni Palestine. If Iran did not care about the plight of the Sunni Palestinian people, they would have forged ties with the West and prospered more than any other Middle Eastern country. During the Shah rule in Iran, even the Israelis were so willing to provide sensitive nuclear technology to Iran. But the principled Iranian people chose principle over their economy and prosperity. They endured over thirty years of harsh sanctions and constant aggression from the alliance of the Sunnis, Westerners, and the Zionists. But again with the help of Allah, they overcame this open aggression and betrayal of their Sunni brothers and got stronger. Today it is only Iran which sends shivers down the spine of the Zionists. May Allah help our Shia brothers and guide them to the true path of Islam.

Lately you have been obsessed with the Jews. Whether the modern day Israelis originated from Europe or Mars does not make any difference. They are here, in control of what was Palestine, and are basically bullying the whole world.

<cite> @Allyourbase said:</cite> So was the use of 'blackening' of some face and whitening of others poetic Tallaabo? Its fine if you can not see the glaring black/white preference of the dear almighty Lord in the Quran, I am here to make such observations for you What is the symbolism behind this miraculous colour changing yaa Tallaabo, if it will include both whits and blacks on either ends of the equation? The colours referred to could might not even be the same dark brown (black) of the Africans or the pale of the Europeans. It could be milky white and charcoal black. The ultimate knowledge is nevertheless with the creator of the colours.

<cite> @xabad said:</cite> why are these Turkics following an arab religion anyway ? Why are you following a western ideology?

<cite> @Holac said:</cite> What are their names? Daryeel is the biggest one I think. Its logo is all over Hargeisa.

<cite> @smartlander said:</cite> Gabiley people hate Mogadishu for some reason. They hate the name. They always say Mogadishu people killed them. But they like Bosaso and Kismayo people. They should hate all or hate none. Gabiley people are also very emotional. They never did SNM fighting. They were in London hiding. Gabiley people cant name even one of their own SNM heroes Us Salaxley and Burco people don't hate anyone though and we still produced SNM heroes. I dont like the mentality Gabiley people Gabiley people are kind of like poison.they are not good as leaders. Only good for administration and civil servants. We need Salaxley or Burco people as leaders Silanyo I support. We dont need that guy muse bixi. Gabiley people always have to embarass Somalilanders on tv and in public being so extreme. Stop it please. They are the biggest british lovers. Please stop embarassing us. You can be pro somaliland and nationalist without exhibiting such behavior Mr "smart"lander, let me tell you it is not the Gabiley people who are embarrassing you, the embarrassment is coming from you. So stop embarrassing yourself in front of the world.

^ Thanks for the link. It is very enlightening and so have added it to my favourites. I didn't know the twelver sect were so preposterous in their beliefs!!

<cite> @xabad said:</cite> i am not an atheist i follow waaq, the religion of our forefathers. :-D that is surely a big improvement.

I suspect you are a shareholder.

<cite> @Miyir said:</cite> For the clan? every time are hear this, means one thing only fake nationalism, when the clans interest is not going well as planned, people either become nationalist or porn again Islamist? what has gone wrong with the clans's project? Lool "Porn again Islamist" :-D Pan-Somali nationalism ran its misguided course and ended up in the gutter. Today there are new realities, new nationalities, new ideas, and new energy which must be utilised for building a brighter future. Pan-Somali nationalism should be included in the history curriculum.

<cite> @xabad said:</cite> LMAO How backward is this fella, being bamboozled by kitschy glass cubes in the desert. glass will fry you in that hot environment esp without electricity & AC. its yesterdays architectural element and its slowly being replaced throughout the world by more eco friendly materials. If there is no electicity then what is powering all those lights in the mall? :-D

The pervert wished to see the "shape" of the bodies of our women but thankfully he was disappointed :-D There are countless women out there who advertise their body shape to the world but our God-fearing sisters keep disappointing the naked body worshippers. The whole world knows about the beauty of the Somali female and so many hate the fact that our sisters keep their beauty hidden from view. The very very few who decided to make a living out of it took the world by storm.

<cite> @DoctorKenney said:</cite> Do you also support North Korea because they're not the "slaves" of the Zionist controlled Western nations? What about the Socialist Prick Hugo Chavez? What about the racist Ku Klux Klan Leader David Duke, who is also opposed to the Zionist controlled Western nations? Why would you support these dogs simply because of their opposition to the Zionists? What kind of logic is that? The people and regimes you have mentioned are non-Muslim but the Shias are fellow Muslims. There is no any illogic there.

<cite> @CidanSultan said:</cite> Hahahahah talabo your always on the wrong side of everything. You support Hezbollah and Iran that butchers the sisters, children and babies in Syria do you. May God help you. Shia was created by a Jew. Israel and Iran have the same goal anti Muslim. They are almost identical in their belief structures. The 12 imams. Taqia and the 30 min marriages are the same as the Talmud. Hahahahah. You are wrong. The Shias just like you believe in Allah, His messenger, the Holy Quran, the Hereafter, pray, fast, pay Zakkah, and perform Hajj. So how could you guys compare them with the Jews and Catholics- the non-believers who rejected our prophet and the Devine message?

As I pointed out I don't support their believes which is outragious, but their courage and sense of self-respect. I also hate the way they are mistreated by all the Sunnis. They hate us because the Sunnis not only hate them but persecute them as well. I think we should stop this alienation of the shias and reason with them instead.

I support Iran and Hisbullah :-D They are truely courageous and not slaves of the Zionist controlled western nations like the fat ugly Arab dictators. May Allah help our shia brothers.

<cite> @Mooge said:</cite> talaabo, didn't your own clans massacre one another in Burco in the 90's??? wasn't there big genocide in borama against the peaceful awdalites by your habro? if i am wrong, Galbeedi will correct me niyoow. I have no knowledge of the "genocide" you are talking about!! Can you support your wild claims with some evidence?

<cite> @gooni said:</cite> Galbeedi jumco wanaagsan awoowe riyaale 8 sano buu xukun hayay haku gadmin. ukuntu qolofka kore waa isaga egtahay ilaa aad jabiso afka reer magaalkana waxaa lagu yidhaahdaa suuq geyn. snm xaqiiqdii makala jecla reer awdal iyo reer muqdisho somaali waa u somaali, ratigaa caatada ah un baa lagu istaajinayaa. Prof'ku haduu koonfurta ka tegey waxay ahayd inuu isaga uumuso oo xoogga saaro 18'ka may,ama wax ka qoro halgankii mujaahidiinta haduu garanayo meeluu ka bilaabo. It does not matter whether we like the Awdalites or not, but the unavoidable truth is the "SNM" folks are civilised enough to live with their neighnours in peace and harmony. We are wise enough to cooperate with our neighbours for the benefit of everyone. Can we find such attitude in Koofuria and Puntland? I don't think so.

<cite> @Dalmar1 said:</cite> It's clear that he is trying hard to convince himself that Beesha snm love him, when they snm just less then a decade ago slaughtered his people and still continue to do so. Snm will love you until recognition comes, then you will see their real face they even released in the 90's a plan of how they after gaining recognition will wipe out the other tribes that aren't from habar snm's from somaliland. Sorry Mr Dalmar, we do not share your clan's genocidal culture. We also believe in Allah and His Day of Judgment.

<cite> @ElPunto said:</cite> Moronic drivel from a failed wannabe politician aka Political Prostitute of 2013. Little in the way of unbiased analysis or solutions offered. Ultimately, whatever happens in Mogadishu and most of it is bad - this appointment is another building block to the reconstitution of the Republic of Somalia whose territorial integrity and international borders are not in dispute. Sending a failed politician to Washington will not reconstitute the failed and abandoned erstwhile republic for you. What makes a nation is its people, and the bitter reality for you is half the people of the failed former republic want that entity to remain in the dustbin of history.

This is Koonfuria for you Mr Galbeedi. The Koonfuria you want your Awdal to be part of. The Koonfuria you would love to see take control of the affairs and future of your people and children. You can give them Awdal on a silver plate if you want but we are not going with you.

Before manufacturing industries are built or land is commercially farmed Somaliland must generate enough electricity and collect enough water from seasonal rains.

I had the same dilemma before and still have no concrete answers to my questions.

Hargeisa needs power generation and not more retail space.
