According to the leader of Jowhar, it was an accident that happened, when a unit set out to capture bandits incidently fired upon their brethren. So his word against yours.

Adeer diinta islaamka iyo ummada soomaaliyeed hadii aad qalbiga ku haysid axmaar maadan taageertan ee sheekda raqiiska ah nagala tag. Nnin ********** u sacab tuma waa laga filan karaa calaacal iyo walbahaar, saa wuu arka dharbaaxooyinka ku socota maafiyada uu taageero.

He is must be really high to think the TFG has any manpower left. This will be the eventual result of Djbouti agreement. http://www.calanka.com/wareysidahirmarka.mp3

You are dreaming my friend, if anything this signing up of tribal militia will do, is cause more battles to occur in somalia. But rest assure they too will turn their tails between their legs like their brethren.

Ciidamo katirsan Xoogaga Al-shabaab ayaa goor dhaw waxa ay la wareegeen Gacan ku haynta Magaalada Marka ee xarunta Gobolka Sh/hoose. Xoogagani oo ku hubeysan Hubka nuucyadiisa kala duwan ayaa si nabad galyo ah waxa ay ula wareegeen magaalada marka ee xarunta Gobolka Sh/hoose. Maamulkii degmada Marka ayaa isaga cararay intii xoogaga Al-shabaab aysan soo gaarin Magaalada marka ee xarunta Gobolka Sh/hoose,waxaana degmada saakay iyo xalay ay aheyd mid haawaneysay oo aysan ka jirin wax maamul ah. . Goor dhaw waxaa degmada Marka soo gaaray dhaq dhaqaaqa hubeysan ee Al-shabaab,waxaana Magaalada ku soo dhaweeyay shacabka ku dhaqan magaalada marka ee xaruntaasi. Jawiga Magaalada marka ayaa iminka ah mid kacsan,waxaana Shacabka magalaada ay hadal haayaan qaabka ay ku yimaadeen xoogaga Al-shabaab magaalada marka. Imaanshiyaha xoogaga al-shabaab waxaa soo dhaweeyay shacabka ku dhaqan magaalada marka oo ay sheegeen in ay heleen maamul islaami ah oo ka madax banaan Dowlada KMG. Waxaa adag in la ogaado xaqiiqda dhabta ah ee ka jirta magaalada Marka ee xarunta Gobolka Sh/hoose mar hadii xoogaga Al-shabaab ay gaareen magaalada marka ee xarunta Gobolka sh/Hoose. Maamulkii Dowlada KMG iyo maleeshiyaadkii gobolka ayaa xalay isaga cararay magaalada marka isagoo aan la garan halka uu jaan iyo Cirib ay dhigeen. Maxaabiistii ku jirtay Xabsiga Magaalada marka ayaa xalay la sii daayay markii maamulkii magalaada uu isaga baxay. Lama oga in xoogaga Al-shabaab ay sii joogayaan Magaalada marka ee xarunta Gobolka Sh/hoose,waxaana la filiyaa in magaalada ay ka hirgaliyaan maamul islaami ah. Imaanshiyaha xoogaga al-shabaab ayaa waxa ay ku soo aadeysaa xili shalay degmada qoryooleey iyo deegaanka Buula Mareer ay la wareegeen dagaalyahanada Al-shabaab kuwaasi oo xalay magaalada galiyay bandaw.

So this is the "peace caravan", to fight those who fought the ethiopian occupation.

Xagge lagu arkey, nabad ku sheeg dagaalo hor leh hurrisa. Is there anyone out there who still think these oppertunists are sincere about the so-called peace effort. The sooner their ugly plans become clear, the better.

Cumar Xaashi Aadan ayaa sheegay in ay jiraan kooxo nabaddiid ah oo aan marna ogolayn in ay Xabaddu istaagto kuwaas oo uu kala jeedo Xoogagga Dagaalka kula jira Ciidamada gumaysiga itoobiya iyo xulufadooda marka laga reebo inta taabacsan Isbahaysiga jabuuti wuxuuna ku sifeeyay in ay yihiin kuwa ka soo horjeeda dhaqan gelinta Heshiiska Jabuuti. Col. Cumar Xaashi ayaa afka ku ballaariyay in ay Dagaal la gali doonaan cid ka sta oo ka hor imaata Heshiiska uu garabkoodu dalka jabuuti kula gaaray DKMG ah isla markaana wuxuu ku tilmaamay in kooxahaasu ay caqabad ku yihiin bixitaanka Ciidamada Itoobiya ee gudaha Soomaaliya.

JIHAADKA S/GALBEED HALKEE KU EGYAHAY? Su'aasha sare ku xusan dad badan ayay Maskaxdooda ku wareegaysanaysaa, dad badan ayaa jeclaan lahaa in mar kaliya lagu dhawaaqo Taariikhda iyo Amminta uu soo Gaba-gaboobayo Jihaadka S/galbeed. Waxaase is waydiin mudan, yaa haya Jawaabta? Shaki ma laha, in hawl walba ay leedahay qorshe iyo qaab degan oo lagu Maamulo, si loo ogaado wakhtiga uu Ebyoomayo. Jihaadka S/galbeed, waa in aan is waydiinno,maxaa sababay Jihaadkan inuu socda?. Taariikhda dhaw, Jihaadka S/galbeed wuxuu socdaa muddo 7 sano ku dhaw. Laakiin Taariikhda sooyaalka ah, waxay na baraysaa in ku dhawaad 5 qarni uu Jihaadkaasi soo jiray, laba marxalo oo kale geddisan ayaa loo qaybin karaa wakhtigii uu soo maray, Tan hore waa wakhtigii ay jirtay Boqortooyadii AKSUM ee Tigreegu ay Maamulaysay, waagaasi waxay ahayd wakhtigii ugu kululaa ama ugu kharaaraa Dagaalladii dhex maray Muslimiinta Itoobiya ku dhaqan iyo Kaniisadda ORTHODOX-ka. Jihaadka Taariikhda galay ee Misaajidka iyo Kaniisadda dhex maray waxaa lagu Tilmaami karaa kii uu Hoggaamiyaha ka ahaa Imaam AX'ED GUREY, waana Jihaadkii sababay dhiciddii Boqortooyadii Tigreega. Jihaadka kaa xiga ee Taariikhda dhaxal galka ah gali doona haddii uu Alle idmo waa midka maanta socda. Tigreegu la mid ma aha Bulshada reer Itoobiya, waana dad aad u xifdiya Uur ku taallada iyo Utunta soo marta, 1991-kii markii gacanta loo galiyay Maamulkii Itoobiya, Tigreegu waxay xasuusatay oo ku soo duxay Sababtii ay u Bur-burtay Boqortooyadoodii, waxay rumaysnaayeen waa sida dhabta ahe inay Muslimiintu rideen Maamulkoodii hore, waxayna ku qanceen, xukunka ay maanta haystaan haddii aysan goor hore Aarsan Ama aysan cagta marannin Muslimiinta Tabar-darridu ka muuqato suurto galla u ahayn inay sii hayaan Maamulka loo gacan galiyay. Xaqiiqdii sababta Aasaastay Jihaadka ka socda S/galbeed waa Arrintaas, waa Aarsi,Aabi iyo Awood muujin. waxaa fudud, jawaabta Su'aasha ah: Jihaadka S/galbeed halkee ku Egyahay? Jihaadkaasi wuxuu ku Egyahay oo Gaba-gaboobo doona, marka laga dhaqo maskaxda Mujtamaca Tigreega dhaawicii ka soo gaaray Jabkii 5-ta qarni ka hor ku dhacay, marka ay u Caddaato Kaniisadda Orthodox-ka inay Muslimiintu yihiin Dadkii Alle u doortay inay Maamulaan Dunida. Sidaas daraadeed, cidda raadinaysa wakhtiga la soo Afjari doona Jihaadka S/galbeed, Sow kuma habboona inay Tiigsadaan yoolka ay hiigsanayaan, Sow kuma habboona inay Maskaxdooda Xasuusato dhaawacii ka soo gaadhay, Fool-xumooyinkii loo gaystay waalidkood iyo walaalahood, Sow kuma Habboona inay ka dhiidhiyaan waxa lagu hayo kuwa maanta Nool. Fool xumo iyo Danbi weeye aan ka galayno Jiilka soo socda, Haddii aan hilmaanno waxay ay Tigreegu dadkayaga kula kacayso, sidoo kale waa Danbi inaan Garan wayno waxa uu Cadawgayagu Xasuustay oo nagu laynayo. Yoolkeenna Dhabta ahi waa [sharaf Adduun Ama Janno Aakhiro]. --- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkI3gZGezGQ

You are right that muslims sometimes are treated far worst in their own countries than the west, but couldn't it be said that the people who are causing the muslims to be treated this way, are despotic regimes brought to power by the colonials of the west? If you look at Libya for example, the country was liberated by a teacher of quranic school, his name (if i remember correctly) was umar, also known as the LION OF THE DESSERT. Umar was hanged when he was caught by the italians. Europeans knowing that they could no longer openly control the country of Libya, power was handed over to military men trained in italy. The same thing is observed in several Muslim nations. But nevertheless this shouldn't be an excuse for the lack of action on the part of the Muslims, to remove this oppression, and gain FULL independence from western interferences.

Walaal wa inaan diinta sideeda u qaadano. Nabiga (saw) qureysh ayaa mar talo ula timid. waxay ku dhaheen billo illaahaga aan caabudno, adiguna sanamyaalkeena mar caabud, markaas buu illaah soo dajiyay suurada loo yaqaano qulyaa ayahul kaafiruun. Marka sheekadu weey iska cadahay, in intii wax la isku qaso, diina lagu sheego xal ma ahan. Runtii dadka waxyaalahan oo kale aaminsan, fikirkoodu asal ahaan wuxuu ku daba wareega sidee gaalada caalamka u raali galina oo diinta ugu qurxiina, runtiina in uu qof muslim ah saa u fakaro ma ahan, waayo waxaa laguu abuurey in aad Allehii ku khalqay in aad raali galiso.

Alislah waxaan ahayn dullinimo iyo in gaalo la isu dhiibo ma hayaan. Wali lama arag saxwooyinkan ikhwaanka loo yaqaano oo wax miro dhal ah keena.

It seems to me Imaam anwar's article was spot on, and sometimes you need "bitter" experiences to know the truth.

http://www.anwar-alawlaki.com/2008/1...ions-are-over/ Quote: One of the characteristics of a humiliated and oppressed community is their submission to their oppressor and their tolerance of oppression. On the other hand they are arrogant and intolerant among themselves. This is how it was with Banu Israel when living under the Pharaoh. I am sorry to state this but unfortunately this attitude is been reflected by many American Muslims who humiliated themselves by voting for candidates who have no serious concern for their issues. I mentioned in my previous post: The perception the American Muslims are giving is that by giving them nothing substantial and by giving them just a little bit of recognition you can get their support, vote and loyalty even if you carry on your war against their brothers and sisters. Just like a dog owner abusing his dog but as long as the bone is thrown out the dog will still give his owner all his loyalty. It is sad but true. The American Muslims who decided to vote have made a fool out of themselves and the whole world knows it. Under the heading:”America’s outcast Muslims: Once Bush backers, Muslims today are staunch Democrats. But both Obama and McCain shun them.” The UK’s The Guardian states: “American Muslims have been called the “outcasts” of this presidential election. Muslims themselves have told the media that Islam is being treated as “political leprosy”, a “scarlet letter”, or the “kiss of death”". Why not just call them house Negros? The Australian newspaper The Age says: “Neither campaign courts America’s Muslim vote.” they go on to state that: “Neither presidential candidate has made a single visit to a mosque.” If they didn’t even bother to visit a mosque, which is no more than a ceremonial thing anyway but does make the house Negros happy, how can one expect from them any support on our issues? Nevertheless the proud American Muslims have been running around in service of both candidates. Many American Muslims still insisted on voting. Chasing a mirage that somehow the new president will improve their lot. First it was Bush now Obama. There is a striking similarity between the American Muslim community and the Muslims of al Andalus who chose to stay behind after Muslim Spain fell into the hands of the Catholic monarchs. There are some writings that reveal that after all the oppression they suffered they still had hope that their situation would improve, even after the Catholic monarchs showed them the worst treatment. Since there were no elections back then and no Barak Obama they were clinging their hopes on a Mahdi that would appear and deliver them to safety. A few decades later no Mahdi appeared and their children and grandchildren slowly but surely were loosing their identity until Islam ceased to exist all together in the Iberian peninsula. I do not believe that America would do the same because they have grown wiser and more sophisticated than their Spanish predecessors. Muslims will be allowed to pray, fast, and practice Islam as long as it is contained within the spiritual compartment. But they will not be allowed to be Muslim in the full sense of the word. The issues of Sharia law, Jihad, wala and bara, hudud, khilafah, the Quranic teachings concerning the Jews and Christians, and support of Muslim resistance fighters around the world will not be tolerated. Now the spiritual aspect will also be under attack, probably not by the government but by the society at large. The American culture will destroy their families. It will deprive their children and grandchildren of their identity. Time will be the witness. Muslims have given their vote for free. Back in the nineties we were told that we should not expect anything back because we are not seen as a voting block (back then the prominent view among the Muslims was against participation in the elections.) Well now there is definitely a voting block and it is quite large as some reports say that the Muslim registered voters are around two million! So what are the Muslims getting in exchange for their vote? Nothing. Brothers and sisters you can vote, you can run around supporting the campaigns, you can stay silent about the aspects of your religion that do not appeal to your fellow citizens, you can speak out against your Muslim brothers and sisters who support the Muslim causes around the world, you can try your best to fit in and be accepted and the end result will be that you will always be seen as the enemy and you will never be accepted unless you do one thing: give up your religion. “And never will the Jews and Christians approve of you until you follow their religion” [2:120] With all of this activism and increased participation the situation of the American Muslims did not improve but in fact it regressed. The Bush campaign of 2000 has outreached to the Muslims more than both candidates of 2008. Giving a fatwa calling on people to vote in democratic elections is not an easy thing. One would expect solid evidence from Quran and sunnah when inviting people to take such a step. However what I have seen is the opposite. I would ask you to read such fatawa and judge them not based on the names or numbers of scholars who are behind them but on the evidence. There was a moment in time when the majority of the scholars of the Muslim world were towing the official line of the Mu’tazila and that didnt make it right. Then look at the fatawa of scholars such as al Albani, the Lanjna da’ima, Abu Muhammad al Maqdisi, al Gabashy and many of the scholars of the salafi orientation around the world who are against participation in democratic election. That is the position of large Islamic movements and individuals such Sayed Qutb, Dr. Israr Ahmad, Hizb-ut-Tahrir, and the Salafi Jihadi movement. In Yemen prominent scholars from the Muslim Brotherhood have finally come to the conclusion that the democratic process is no more than a game that wastes the efforts of Muslims with very little gain. In addition to that I found out that many people are asking the ones who are telling the people not to vote to bring their evidence! The burden of proof is on the ones who call others to participate in a disbelieving system, in a disbelieving country not the other way around. Anyway the evidence for not voting are all the verses of Quran that refer to governance as a right of Allah in surat al Nisa and al Bakarah, the verses talking about disavowal of the disbelievers in surat al Bakara, al Nisa and al Mumtahina, and the hadiths of Rasulullah that instruct us to be separate from the disbelievers. There are scholars who wrote detailed papers on the subject and you may find the links to them on the comments made by some brothers and sisters on my last two posts. For those who did send me evidence for the position on voting I did respond to some of them and there remains the issue of the Muslims in Abyssinia and Yusuf (as). The response to this is very straightforward: Both the king of Abyssinia and the King of Egypt were not at war with the believers and were both very supportive of the Muslims. In addition to that, there are authentic narrations that al Najashi was Muslim and weaker ones that state that the king in the time of Yusuf became Muslim. But lets assume that this is not the case. Anyone with a rudimentary understanding of Fiqh should realize that there are stark differences on how Islam calls us to deal with those who are at war with us and those who are not. Allah says: Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous towards them and acting justly towards them. Indeed Allah loves those who act justly. [60:8] Now that Obama is in office we will see how these four years will unfold. I personally think that since what Obama stands for is falsehood, the justifications of the Muslims in choosing him were false and the process in which the Muslims chose him were also false we cannot expect any good to come out of falsehood. “Indeed Allah does not amend the work of the corrupters” [10;81] Assalamu alaykum Your Brother Anwar Al Awlaki

If you knew the crime the people who are being flogged committed. They buried alive a member of a bantu family living in one of the neighberhoods in mogadishu, they were arrested and brought to justice. It is seemingly a small sentence, to be flogged for taking part in a gruesome murder.

If he does, it won't change much. the TFG will still be paralyzed and confined to where it is today, and will still be attacked by other groups not observing the "truce".

Culimadu, ma s/land bey gaar u yihiin mise umadey ka wada dhaxeeyaan. Kuwa bosaso joogana intooday ka hadli, kuwa s/land wixii ka dhacay hargeysa un bey soo hadal qaadi, kumanaanka la wada barakiciyey wax hadal ama fatwa ka sheegayana maqli maysid. Culimad markasta xaqqa ha racdo, Yeeysan hadlin un markey dadkooda un wax soo gaaraan.

Asc-Wr-Wb Maxaa kugu kalifay in aad qabiil dhan ku tilmaanto daqsi iyo wax gadaran? Intaan la ghaadin sharciga u dhigan SOL, qof muslim ah baad tahay ee dhib isu noqo, illaahayna ka cabso.

They have already proven they can govern and have brought much needed justice to areas under their control. Examples are too many to cite, but they have removed hundreds of roadblocks, and have tamed road bandits. They have also stoped many tribal infighting, and made several tribes sign peace accords amongst each other. The evidence is there for all to see, and only a person who opposes them based upon their ideology and beliefs, would question their ability to govern. That said, humans are bound to make mistakes, but as muslims, it's the intention of the person that counts. Bringing up cheap propaganda often cited by ant-muslim fanatics shows your kind of character.

Let us be honest with our selves. The men who took up arms to fight the ethiopians are not communist, socialist, or capitalist. infact they are not even what most of us called "moderates" If the islamist are the only ones we see today taking up arms against the ethiopians, sacrificing their lives and wealth, then it's only fitting they decide the kind of government they will form.

The video they are referring to was an attack against AU forces in mogadishu that happened several months ago.
