    lol, I'm sorry to break it to you but "in the real world" they exist, regardless of your need to erase the existence, histories and lives of people and families who are both Somali and Christian by claiming their statistical insignificance. I don't really care that this seems to personally offend you, your butthurt doesn't change history and fact. No use in continuing this discussion, circular logic is exhausting and pointless to reason with.

    ina-adeer you mistook my comments. I wasn't suggesting your distance ayeeyo or her relatives were marginal or insignificant in society. We're merely discussing the numbers, not the actual people. I'm sure Somalis have good and bad people with all kinds of religious beliefs. That was not the point I was making.

     

    When you look at the numbers, you find the people you speak of to be representing statistically speaking, a very tiny tiny number that would be classified as a marginal error compared to the larger population of the country. In all fairness, Somalia had a much larger number of people that were traditionalists with indigenous beliefs and languages. There were others that follow the Shia sect of Islam, actual Somalis. These groups were more than just few dozen families with Christian sounding names who trace their Christianity back to a British missionary schools in Barbara or Cadan. We are talking about people with indigenous beliefs and languages. Yet none of them makes the list of religions. The Bantu, Bajun and Barawe are the minority. The supposed historical Christians in the north remained and still remain to be the insignificant of the insignificant. Nothing personal dee. Just pointing out the numbers.

    lol you know the guy behind it all? Is he responsible for the Christianity of historical Somalis like Michael Mariano, Anthony James, Peter Raymond, etc too? We've had Somali Christians for at least two centuries, a minority certainly but you cannot say they don't exist.

    I don't call three people out of a population of over ten million a minority. In terms of numbers, they don't exist. Three pennies out of ten million, people stop gambling.

    muslims should be the last people to complain about religious intolerance

    You do realize Muslims ain't a country name. The people that follow the religion of Islam call themselves Muslims, not in a particular land or region.


  4. Haatu: no joke man. That thing was coming on my desktop too. To be sure, I tried it again to make sure, it does show up only when you google SOL and click on the link to the community page. I thought the link was somehow hijacked to an infected page.

     

    Admin: I'm glad you are on top of it, there were few bugs here and there but nothing major.

    I have no frigging idea to be honest somalis or should i say Zoomalis are backward primitive people. I was once naive and thought a national reconcilliation process could heal the people and end the distrust between the brotherly clans however i dont think that would've changed anything. Maybe balkanization of somalia is the right thing afterall?

    Man stop it with your dreams. Somalia has never had or seen any reconcilliations nor a process of starting or having a true national reconcilliations. We tried to have political reconciliaiton and that failed miserably because it wasn't incluvise and never intended to solve the root cause of the war. No convesation whatsoever of what took place the last two decades. And no brotherly clans exist in that part of the world. Interest speaks louder than clan linage.

     

    But to the topic, what has the PM accomplished in his time in office other than visiting middle schools to hand out soccer trophies? Seriously speaking, I can't name one thing this PM has done for the country. I don't see what the country will be missing if he gets replaced.
