Nice pictures, thanks sky! On the note of the 'unifaction' of the divided city of Galkacyo, I for once really welcome it. That is 'if' the other side accepts certain conditions and 'also' pays the taxes the rest of the city is paying. We have to bring them to the 'mainstream' of the city because 'baraxley' is where the most feared criminals of the whole of Somalia seek refuge too after committing 'gross' crimes in Moqadishu. This people are fearless and 'if' we can bring police and the army to take care of them instead of chasing them to the greenline and they escaping to 'baraxley' we could actually arrest them and bring them to 'justice'. I was for once advocating for a 'separation' wall to be build in order to protect 'ourselves' from the criminals inside 'baraxley' but if things change for better as they seem now, I have nothing against the proposal as long as they accept police presence in their part of the city and pay the 'taxes', it's only good for us anyway!

Who are 'we'? P.S. I'm sure you meant 'lose' as in be dispossessed of while 'loose' means not too rigid/fastened...a wee bit of enlightenment . Islaan yahey iga daba har! Waxa la iga kaa siiyeey baan garan la'yahaye? lost? No need for silly comments, this is not for the 'handicapped' folks with a bag of 'loose' money attached to their 'wheelchair', which they've 'begged' from righteous people and you ain't getting 'charity' from me certainly! if 'we'ever need a 'retarded' one like you, ill kindly let you know but 'before' that you're not needed and are certainly misplaced. Go somewhere else if you have the 'urge' (need) to 'beg'. p.s. learn 'how' to quote you inadequate extremly stuupid person! This 'stuppid' little 'pathetic' and 'ignorant' people need to be 'whipped' because 'they' can't stop asking silly questions. The prophets had to the deal with such kind of sillyness and actually people can do themselves considerable 'harm' if they ask too many silly questions. 'Who is 'we'? kulaha inadequate, stupiid, ignorant little 'naive thing'. 'We' is we! Is that enough for a answer you 'bloody' ignorant member of the handicapped and 'retarded' group of shameless beggers!

A very homogeneous lot indeed Which means what? That it is 'virtually' impossible for them to 'unite' behind one agenda. Yes they're homogeneous in the 'sense', that they believe that 'there is no other deity to Worship except Allaah the glorified and that Muhammed is the prophet and messenger of Allaah'! They speak in different languages, accents, dialects, have different physical feature's but are homogenous and united in Al-ilsaam! 'We' as the muslim ummah collectively need to come back to the lost 'way of life', that we cherished and miss so much! Regardless of race, language or colour 'we' the muslim nation are brothers and one. One god, one religion and one people! God bless Islaam and muslims.

Islaanku wuxuu tibaaxay in ay lagama maarmaan tahay in dhamaan Bulshada reer Puntland ay dhawraan kala dambaynta iyo Nimcada Maamul ee ilaahay ina siiyey wuxuuna u soo jeediyey dhamaan Bulshada Reer Puntland in ay la shaqeeyaan Madaxda Maamulka ayna dhawraan kala dambaynta.

What 'strikes' me most is that it is 'always' the same 'people', who object to a universal fact, which is that there can't be two different set of ideas and ideologies co-existing with each other peacefully and harmonouesly! It's always the 'shia loving, hijab bashing and valetine day celebrating 'fools', who for some strange reason see 'fit' to talk about something they don't know off, very absurd indeed! I am not even advocating for 'civil' unrest and chaos and I believe as long as the so-called 'muslim' leaders follow the path of Islam, we simply can't 'turn' against them. This would be 'unislamic' but if the citizens feel unhappy and they come out in their masses to protest 'peacefully' for regime change like in the "orchastred" revolutions that took place in the former soviet republics, I would actually welocme it. It has to come from the street and the 'local' muslim clerics have to take the 'country' in their own hand and rule it with the Quran, the divine book of Allaah the glorified and the sunnah of the prophet of islaam peace be upon him! Only then surely can muslims be freed from the humiliation they're suffering from now. We are intellectually, economically and socially deprived because we left our way of 'life' and we need to return to it. The 'infidels' have perfected their way of life according to their pace of evolution and simply we cannot compete with them in their 'ideologies' and way of lifes. In fact we have a better and a more sophisticated 'way' of life then they have and ever will have. Simply they can't be room for both ways of life one has to 'give', and surely it's not islaam that will 'give'. We have our own lifestyle, traditions, culture and way of life and 'if' we were to try and compete with the 'europeans' in their culture, traditions and lifestyle we would simply 'loose' out because we cannot compete with them on what they have mastered and worked for so long! This would be 'disastorours' for muslims and we already can see the results right now in front of our eyes!

Sayyid: Are you itching to cut heads off? Do you want to self-explode and kill those infidels? Show us what you're really made of. Don't be an arm-chair terrorist. Go to Iraq, Afghanistan, Kashmeer. Otherwise, shut your mouth. No, shut your mouth yourself! Unlike you I 'fight' against a perception that you often like to portray, which is that 'muslims' can co-exist with kaafirs in their countries, which is ignorance and ludacrious! Atleast i acknowledge the fact that without the 'sword' we will be humiliated and doomed! Muslims have to know this, no more playing around and let's have 'peace'! There cannot be peace until Islaam rules the 'world'. You either dominate or you will be dominated! Don't act like a 'juhalaa', who do not see the 'bigger' picture. Do you think everything in this world is 'happy' and lovely? If you think that you're surely retarded. Now go and 'hug' your teddybear! In this world 'forces' are competing for dominance, and you talk like some naive inadequate, little 'kindergarden', teddybear 'hugging' dumba$$! I resent your description of terrorist and I don't believe in the murder and killing of innocent people or bystanders for that matter. Blowing onself up is totally unislamic and what I am talking about is a 'revolution' within, so that we can 'take' on our enemies with 'pride' and inshallah islaam will dominate this world and god's word will be made supreme, regardless of 'your' dislikening!

^Only in your 'eyes' and disillusioned mind! "Without the sword, says a 'deep' voice inside me, there cannot be 'any' victory for the islamic ummah! Bring back the sword and the muslim dignity will return inshallah. God willingly we will be 'victorious' against the 'infidels'!

Posted by Zu: Shall we kill all the infidels, huh? what do you reckon? Yes,very much so! Especially the 'jews', who are the worst amongst the 'infidels' and who corrupt this world with their 'money' and wealth. The christians are generally 'mislead' by them and because of the 'arrogance' of the jews, they too will be soon doomed inshallaah! You can also find your answer in this short clip, called the 'sword sermon', by some frightened folks! Nothing milicious or violent and it's perfectly 'safe' for all to view even the smallest of children!

Originally by the Legend of Zu: Oshwald College Rules!!! he he he... Where is that located! Some where in the wilderness......who were your close friends and class mates? Donkeys and Monkeys. Ah, reminiscing the good old days living in the bushes as a.....!

I've never been to that place, but I can 'feel' you. I am sure there are a lot of 'nomads' here, who went there to school. Me personally have never been to Kenya, Nairobi! But 'reminiscing' about the past sometimes is 'really' good. Gone days seem, so happy and I don't know why? Anyway, here are some pictures of Aga Khan Junior Academy:

yeah, great memories. I am almost in tears because out of 'nostalgia'!

Great story! Here is another about an italian guy, who worked for the 'benadir' company and who became a muslim aswell. Story is in soomaali language! Congratulations to all of these people, who accepted Islaam and the call of 'rationale', like C/llahi already said "islaam is a merciful religion", how accurate of a description is that! Nin Talyaani ah oo Muqdisho ku Islaamay!!! Asmo Atmore oo 72 jir ah dhalashadiisuna tahay Austria balse asal ahaan ka soo jeeda dalka Talyaaniga ayaa shalay ku qaatay diinta Islaamka markii towxiidka loogu qiray masjidka Sheekh Cali Suufi salaadii Jimcada. Ninka Islaamay ayaa loo bixiyey C/llaahi, wuxuuna shalay ku tukaday kursi salaada Jimcaha isagoo sheegay in uu yahay nin waayeel ah oo xanuunsanaya oo aysan u fududeyn in uu istaag ku tukado, wuxuuna sheegay markii uu qaatay diinta Islaamka in diinta Islaamku ay tahay diin naxariiseed, uuna saaxiibadii ka dhaadhicinayo nasteexada diinta si ay u qaataan. Ninkan shalay soo islaamay ayaa ka mid ah shirkadda ganacsiga Banaadir, waxaana ashahaadada u qabtay Sheekh Max’uud Sheekh Ibraahim Suuleey. Sanadihii u dambeeyey ayaa waxaa dunidda daafaheeda ku soo badanayey dadka qaadanaya diinta Islaamka, kadib markii ay si dhab ah u fahmeen xaqiiqada dhabta ah ee ay xambaarsan tahay diinta Islaamka.

^I agree with your assumptions hundred percent, sheherazade!

Saaxib, for that kinda money, I'd kill the editor, the cartoonist, the janitor, innocent bystanders, you and your entire family. Oo waayo, familkayaga muxuu kuu dhimay. Tan kale anigana maxaa la iga kaa siiyaa ninyahow! Caku iyo cuqdada beerka ku kala gooysay, ninyahow bal iga ciil bax, ahlu jannah baad noqone!

Inna lillaahi wa inna illeyhi raajicuun, ma maanta buu Cabdullahi Xerti iyo timaweyntii reer heemo u tagay. Awalba wuxuu ahaa xerow odayga, kulaha wey uducayeen ha ha ha! Kuwaa duca maba yaqaniin, ileyn waa xer iyo timoweyn. Odaygii sheekh baardheere weli muu noolaa, alla qosol badanaa. Odayga awalba abtirsay oo wuxuu yiri waxaan ahay kowda mar muslim, kabacdi shaafici, ka bacdi ahla sunnah wal jamaaca ka bacdina qadariyyah, astaqfirullah. War xerta iyo jinniyaha meesha ku jira nala qariya wadaadna ma ahanee! -------------------- yeniceri, confused as ever I see! Inadeer continue inshallah. -------------------- Shariif Hassan was our 'enemey' before the Aden accord, that was because he wasn't doing his job properly. He is the speaker and as the speaker his responsibilities lie with the parliament and parliamentarians and not the 'removal' of roadblocks or 'establishment' of the benadirland! There are two reasons why the Shariif had a change of heart, first thing was the uselessness of 'his' friends in Moqadisho, who were never serious about doing the business they said they were going to do, which was the pacification of the capital. The other was the betrayal of "Qanyare" by his fellow warlords and the disgrace in which the speaker of parliament was treated in the meeting of the parliament speakers of the Arab league in Cairo. He didn't had any invitations but nevertheles proceeded with going along and ultimately being disgraced. This has disheartened him and when he was supposed to return to Moqadisho, Qanyare told him to go straight back to Aden and meet the President there, and the rest is history. On the other hand after the 'Aden Agreement', the US foreign department send out letters of warning to the Moqadisho warlords such as Abdiqaasim, Yalaxow, Qanyare and Caato warning them if they were to oppose this agreement they would be pay a heavy price such as total sanctions and possible arrest and charges of war crimes and genocide! That's why they backed down otherwise they face total alienation, humiliation and hostility from the rest of the world! -------------------- Xarago, Gheedi's premiership is safe for right now, so don't worry sister!

By far the 'biggest' sh!t is when you go to the Accidents&Emergency Departments of the many 'crap' hospitals in here. We once 'took' a friend of us to the hospital, who had injured his head and he was quite heavily bleeding. It was my first experience in the UK, visiting their hospitals and what I saw really 'shocked' me to the core! In other countries you're treated swiftly but when we arrived at the hospital the people at the 'recption' told us to take a 'ticket' and sit down! Like we wanted to 'watch' some soccer game in a stadium or booking flights out of the country. I really couldn't believe it. Next we waited and waited and the guy was still bleeding from his head 'wound', we had to take 'tissue's' from the toilets to stop the bleeding because they said that they could not give us anything to stop the blood. After some waiting of three hours, we were seen by a nurse, who asked us some question and she did nothing, she just said okay go back and the doctors will see and call you! My friend replied 'how' long it'll probably take and she replied 'maybe' another three to four hours! Anyway after some four hours finally we saw the doctors and they didn't do much either, they simply washed the wound with some 'distilled' water and said simply to my friend 'first thing tommorrow, go to you GP (general practicionar)! It was hilliarious! I saw a man sleeping on the 'dirty' ground of the waiting room of the A&E and rolling back and forth out of pain, whilst holding his stomach. I also head a horrible experience, when I went with a 'relative', who had a dislocated shoulder and after some 'six' hours wait, some guy with a Indian accent, who was said to be a doctor saw us, he suggested 'pain killers'. My relative suggest that he 'scanns' the shoulder first before giving 'painkillers' in order to see what's wrong with it. Afterwards he said everything was 'fine' and only 'painkillers' were needed! We simply went away without taking his 'painkillers'. This country is really weird. Nothing seems to work properly, I just wonder why I bother in the first place coming to 'this' third world country. Many people have said that it reminds them of 'Nairobi', despite the fact that I've never been to Nairobi, I accepted and trust the analogy of the good people, who seem to 'know' what they're talking about! This country 'sucks', down with the UK! Say(y)id Qutb!

British Government - Does it work for you? Just how much do you trust our government? Politicians lie to you and make false promises. Government departments squander huge amounts of your taxes in supporting the welfare state, education, police, armed forces and the NHS, all of which require massive funding but is it all being wisely spent? We think not. Our Forum Message Board gives you the chance to voice your opinion. Let people know what you think of current politics, politicians, government departments, the education system or public services in general. Let us know what you dislike most about the British Government. Do our MP's really have much of a clue about what ordinary Brits think about them or their policies? Are they out of touch with reality? Cutting Taxes v Social Services All this crap about cutting taxes has ended up just making governments more devious in their ways of raising revenue. Instead of raising the rate of income tax they make a big thing about how they are committed to keeping taxes low and then sting you with VAT or changes in National Insurance or increases in tax on the goods that you buy. In the end we are seldom better off and ministers can sit snoozing on the wooden benches at Westminster confident in the knowledge that they have yet again managed to shaft the UK taxpayer without a fight. What are your views on taxation? Should you be paying all this money to support single mums, the long term unemployed and immigrants? Transport and Britains roads With the price of rail travel and the unreliable services of buses and public transport, the government now wants us to abandon our cars and take to public transport. Hmmmm. Perhaps Londoners would like to cram more people in their sardine canned underground system or people travelling from Wolverhampton to Birmingham might stick with the hugely expensive, unpopular and troubled metro system. Governments have always been good at telling us what we should do and then lacking in the support and infrastructure to enable us to make their aspirations come to fruition. Government Projects & Benefits Agencies If anyone can come up with a multitude of ridiculous and inefficient ways in which to squander money then it has to be the British Government. We are always hearing stories about this initiative or that initiative to help this wishy washy subject or that wishy washy subject. Post offices to have separate queues to help our troubled asylum seekers or extreme cases of political correctness going beserk and causing more problems than they solve. Massive amounts of government money is spent on surveys and hordes of consultants are employed to dream up yet more ways of spending money on areas that would probably be strongly resented by 95 per cent of the population. Where will all this madness end? The Education System and the Establishment Take a look at the state of some of our schools today. Teenagers roam the streets instead of going to school and despite government talks of a clampdown any citizen of our inner cities will tell you that government policy is not working. The private schools flourish yet should we have to consider private education which is restricted to only those that can afford it or should it not be a right for every child to have the best education facilities available. The establishments attempts to meet some of the public concerns are under constant ridicule and whilst all the right things are being said there is very little evidence of any changes taking place.

Wankers or Bankers of Great Britain? Poor Service Our Forum Message Board gives you the chance to comment on poor service or bad experiences you have had with UK banking institutions. Trying to open a new bank account in the UK can be time consuming, frustrating and sometimes downright impossible. Banks will send you mail shots and spend millions of pounds on advertising and trying to convince you how good they are, but when it comes to basic efficiency and the processing of applications and common sense we find that many of them are sadly lacking. What bad experiences have you had? Credit Cards They pester you to fill in a credit card application, they keep raising your credit limit, send you endless mail shots asking if you want a loan to pay off the debt that you run up on it and then chastise you if something goes wrong. Got an interesting story you would like to share with us? When things go wrong Banks are very good at producing literature to try and improve their tarnished images but seldom proficient and competent to deal with a problem efficiently when things go wrong. It's easy to hate the banks and despise their methods. This seems to have become a national pastime. Are we being unfair? Financial Advisors Well lets face it, if these guys were any good then they wouldn't have to work for a living would they. Financial advice or sometimes lack of, is a major cause of complaint in the UK. Banks are sometimes no better at providing financial advice than other institutions. In some cases they are much worse. So what has your bank done for you today? Your friendly Bank Manager The bad news is - you don't have one anymore. The banks sacked them all. If you are an important customer with a healthy account balance you might get an account manager. Trying to get hold of them on the phone or get them to actually do something for you could be interesting. Business Banking This is not for the faint hearted. We can't blame the banking institutions for the number of businesses that fail in the UK each year but we can certainly have a go at them for some of the carefully guarded secrets and the things they don't tell you down at the branch ! The buzz word these days is e commerce. Get online they say and take credit card payments over the internet. When things go wrong and they hit you for a few thousand on dodgy credit card payments you will wish you had read the small print. Health Warning: Accepting credit card payments online or over the phone can seriously damage your wealth !

Is there a British Culture? What is it like to be British? What is Britishness and what defines our national identity? Do we actually have a national identity anymore?. Such a diverse nation with a wide variety of different opinions and cultures should be a good thing but what have we lost along the way? Our Forum Message Board gives you the chance to voice your opinion. Let people know what you think of our cultural heritage, the advantages or disadvantages of being British and what it means to you. Have you recently arrived in Great Britain or have you emigrated and come back? Are you considering leaving the UK for a better life elsewhere? TV addicts and couch potatoes We are not exactly a very fit nation. Our favourite passtime seems to be watching the telly or going for a drive at the weekends. Just what is wrong with the health of the people of this nation? Is it the weather that makes us this way? Should we get out more? Have we become isolated from social interaction and do you actually know who your neighbour is? Beware of foreigners Mass immigration and a variety of cultures have eased public fears and distrust of everything foreign but with global terrorism and gains by the National Front in key areas around the UK we could be in for troubled times ahead. We live in a society that has created segregation with whole communities living in isolation within the boundries of our cities. Do people actually want to integrate? How much of a problem has religion been in the UK? Many British born whites are or have already lost their faith in religion whilst other communities have clung desperately to their roots and religion. Just how big a part does religion play in our society and what problems does it cause? Racism and racial intolerance is illegal in the UK but ask a Pakistani or a Vietnamese of his or her experiences in Great Britain. Racism is not all one sided either. Many whites have been on the receiving end of racist behaviour from non whites and asians are often treated badly by other asians from different castes or cultures. Just how big a problem is racist behaviour in the UK? Why as a nation are we so bad at learning foreign languages? Other countries put us to shame. Is this an attitude problem in that we have become so accustomed to expecting people to speak English or is it just that the British have no ability or interest in foreign language or culture unless it involves a sun drenched holiday on a sandy beach and good beer?. British Restaurant When was the last time you saw a sign for a British Restaurant? Is British cuisine limited to everything with chips, and a roast on Sundays? Your average Brit is more likely to order a pizza or pop down the local Indian or Chinese take away these days. The fast food outlets contribute to our poor health and national obesity problems and fish and chips seems to be the staple diet for those that prefer truly British Food. What are your thoughts on British Cuisine? British Mentality What is is about the stuck up Brits with their superior and snobbish outlook? Many foreign nationals see us this way and still imagine us in bowler hats or in tweeds tending to our gardens at the weekends. Are we a cold and aloof people? Do we have an inferiority complex or a hankering for the good old days? Have we become complacent and accepting of 'the way things are' and has general public apathy now become the accepted norm? Add your comments We want to know what you think about what defines the essence and meaning of being British. Add your comments to the Message Forum and voice your opinions now!

Britain in the grip of a crime wave? Crime in the UK Has the crime wave finally started to slow down or are things actually getting worse?. The politicians will tell you that things are improving but of course they don't live in down town slum city or experience the worst of crime in the UK. Just what should be done about it?. Have we become too soft?. Even if the police are able to make an arrest the prisons are overcrowded and some old fart of a judge will probably decide to send the offender on a holiday abroad instead of a prison cell. The Police There are more police in the UK now right? Well....where are they? They are certainly not on the beat. Your house has just been burgled or your car stolen and yet trying to get a police officer to do something about it is becoming increasingly more difficult. What can be done to help the police more and ensure that we get value for money from our police force? The Judicial System Ask any member of the public what they think about judges and magistrates, barristers and solicitors and the majority will soon tell you that the law is a mess. Shouldn't we have some national guidelines on sentencing and less emphasis on the whims of local judges who depending on their mood on the day can dish out sentences that often seem entirely innapropriate? Drop it nigger! Drop' it like it's hot! Daylight Robbery So many people in the UK have been at the receiving end of some form of theft or violence that if unreported crimes were taken into account the statistics would be horrendous. Why do crimes not get reported? Well if you have ever reported a crime you will find out why. See what some of our contributors have to say on this subject. Is it about time that we got tough on antisocial behaviour and violent crime. In fact, isn't it about time we got tough on all forms of crime. Do the so called 'do gooders' piss you off? What would you do about crime and the law in the UK? It is more likely that if you take defensive action or act in a violent manner to protect your home and family that you will be the person ending up in court. Has the world gone mad? What rights do we have when the odds are stacked in favour of the criminal? Hooligans and the Yob Culture One of our most well known exports seems to be football hooligans and the behaviour and moronic attitude of some of these people defies belief. As a nation we should be ashamed of ourselves. Just what is being done about this? Should be adopt a zero tolerance policy? Mindless Vandalism Smashed up phone kiosks, graffiti on walls, damaged vehicles and outright senseless behaviour on the part of street yobs or gangs of youths around Britain's towns and cities has reduced some areas to almost dereliction. Should we be sorry for poor little Johnny who comes from a broken home and a poor family? Is this an excuse? How come many third world countries where poverty is the norm the attitude of the local people is so different. Is this attitude so entrenched in our society now that we have come to accept this type of behaviour? No wonder so many Brits emigrate.

This is the UK, even the 'gaalo' are fed up. Wallahi it's 100% true what they wrote and saying. They're not 'frustrated' but telling the truth! Welcome to Bad *** Attitude in Great Britain Dudes with attitude Our Forum Message Board gives you the chance to comment on bad attitude and poor standards of companies and institutions of the United Kingdom. Are the police what they used to be or does your local bobby look like a street yob in a uniform? What are your thoughts on your local Telecommunications company? Have you experienced long delays on the telephone whilst calling a company in the UK? Have you been on the receiving end of bad attitude from an organisation or individual that you would have expected better treatment from? It happens to us all. We ring up to make a complaint and the service operator at the other end is having a bad hair day. Suddenly the moron thinks it is our fault and that we are the enemy. Why do we have to put up with this? As customers are we just a bloody nuisance? No wonder British Business sucks! General apathy and the lack of will to complain used to be what the British were very good at. Thankfully that is no longer the case in the latter and complaining can definately bring better results. We actually spoke to one call centre operator who said that the nice and polite callers were the ones that could be kept waiting or who would go to the end of the list! The difficult and abnoxious callers got the best service. What a weird world we live in. Got an interesting story you would like to share with us? Litter Louts I've seen some fat cow in the West Midlands actually stand at a Bus Stop gorging her face with chocolate bars and dropping the wrappers on the floor one after the other as she waited for a bus. The daft thing is that no one waiting in the queue uttered a word. Does this kind of behaviour piss you off? Chewing gum dropped around local newsagents and busy walkways cost the country thousands of pounds to clear up each year. In some areas they don't clean it up and it almost carpets the pavements entirely. Maybe Singapore has the right idea. Chewing gum is banned. I will ring you back This one makes you cringe. You just know that the person who says that isn't going to ring you back. Three cheers for Telewest, British Telecom and the Banking World as the top three winners in this league. Post your interesting topic here or just comment on items of interest and current affairs. Road Rage Road rage seems to be getting worse. Normal and sane people, office workers and bank tellers or customer service representatives can be as nice as pie one minute but stick them behind the wheel of a car and they become monsters. Why is this? Have you got any experiences you would like to tell us about?. What do you think about dog owners that let their animals crap all over your lawn or pavement outside of your home?

I've just 'heard', that the taliban are stocking up 100 kg of 'diamond' or 'gold', to give to anyone who 'kills' the cartoonists who has depicted our prophet peace be upon him. They are 'dead' serious about the matter, so if you want to go to 'paradise' and leave something for your family and your 'retirement' it's a life-time one off chance to get rich, consider it! Yes, you'll probable spent some time in prison but atleast they don't have the 'death penalty in Danemark! Get rich, or die whilst trying getting rich, I say!

Egyyyyyyyyyyyyypt Won! I am sooooooooooooo happy that the host nation Won! Great, super, unbelievable and fantastic! It was a fantastic 'final', a little bit controversial when the 'referee' rewarded a 'crazy' decision of a non-existent 'penalty', that was saved. Nevertheless it went to 'penalties' and egypt won 4:2 to the delight of their hysterical home-fans!

This is a valid question, that our brother Orgilaqe made and it needs an answer. I am not worried by our brother in the North-West for their are not like the jawhar based administratin, which 'forbade', muslims even to demostrate! Mohammed Dheere is anti-islaam and muslim for sure because it's the same guy, who forbade the 'niqaab' for women to wear. There were protests in the whole of Somalia and I hope it will 'compensate' for the cities that not hold demostrations against the insults made by the danish infidels. Demonstrations were held in Puntland across towns and cities including the capital Garoowe, Bosaso, Gaalkacyo, Badhan and Ceerigaabo I believe! Also in Hiiraan particularily in Beledweyne and other places like Moqadishu, Kismaayo, Parts of Gedo, Qoryooley, Bay, Shabeele Hoose and parts of Galguduud!
