    Her family has every right to disown her.

     

    Anyhow, this article or this womans decision to speak publicly has nothing to do with choice. Articles such as these are designed to heighten the Islamaphobia that already exists. People like this woman often have an ulterior agenda, we shall see in years to come if hers are aligned with those of the other Somali atheist who was a proud native informant- Ayan Hirsi. Live and let live assumes that her actions do not cause any harm- I think we can all agree that she is causing harm.

     

    Broadly agree with you on the 'right' of the family to disown her and the 'ulterior' motives of the article as well as the woman - but know this; the family of Ayan Hersi (who without doubt has done more harm) have never cut communication with her even though they fervently disagreed with her.

    "Do not cut the ties of kinship" & "No compulsion in religion" - Edicts of Islam.

     

    Reading the article, the one thing I noticed is the prominence given to the noun Somali from the title to the main body of the article - which is more than the times Islam is mentioned. This is not surprising, knowing that 'Somali' is defined in the english dictionary as 'a member of a mainly Muslim people of Somalia'.

     

    Now, knowing my people laba waxba oo aan la isla qaadi karin bay gabdhaanu isugu gaysay reerkii; gaalnimo iyo yahuudnimo - No wonder the reerka buckled! :P

    To me the way forward out of this quandary is for Madobe and his deputy to go Mogadishu even if they are not invited and ask to seat with SFG leadership and parliament. They should propose that they be named the interim administration of the Juba and be tasked with to organise new conference in a year or six months time.

    I hate to see folks here celebrating IGAD ayaa sidan tiri and IGAD ayaa waxan soo saartey, who is IGAD, sovereignty is lost, the Somali government doesn't see its Sovereignty is being undermined, but sees only one region as an obstacle to its very existance.

     

     

    That is the sad part as one Soler puts it.

    indeed, though that is not the only sad thing.

    Rumor has it that the British government is pushing an idea of Somaliland having a devolved government that deals with everything internal affairs with complete independence from Somalia apart from foreign affairs whilst having a stake in Somalia's affairs too - Similar to Scotland and future referendum on independence with agreement with the Somali government. This idea is being championed by William Hague secretary of the British foreign and commonwealth department.

     

    This is supposedly a step up from federal state.
