Fault Lines - Horn of Africa Crisis: Somalia's Famine

[MenengaiCrater]

Somalia will one day soon find its footing and will demonstrate to the whole world that they are very very enterprising people. Viva la Africa!

[SideyyediS]

So sick of ignorance, when are we going to realise that humanity is evil, life is survival of the fittest, let go of the ideology of god, it was only used in ancient times to maintain order before rational scientific thinking enlightened us!

[SideyyediS]

I'm sorry but so many people on these forums chat so much shit i can smell it from my bedroom, that shit about America being the most evil nation in the world, bear in mind that you just watched a video where people in the name of religion (Al-Shabaab) stop aid from reaching those who need it the most!

[U01623AA]

[jrock1000000]

god will place his judgment upon america,it is the most wicked nation that this earth has seen.nothin but lying,stealing and killing...for all u devils with your heartless comments and lack of a soul to speak the way u do about misfortunate people and dying babies regardless of color i hope god gives u hell on earth.because u deserve it,not these babies or these men or women who has never had a chance for a better life from the womb...

[esqui19]

help them if you want to but don't expect or depend totally to US 'coz it not their problem.

[insanic1]

omg look at all the fucking kids, fucking close your legs

[TheGrizzlyReaper78]

LMFAO and the western world is still sending money there and cant control the situation there?

of course..its filled with bunch of niggers that shove the money up their ass

niggers and their primitive mind can never be more intillegent than a white man

[ishinealone2]

@TheGrizzlyReaper78 you are so dumb.

[SpraxIAKS]

@TheGrizzlyReaper78 Tough words coming from a manchild.

[Chubbylilfunsta]

Im worried if i ever have the chance to go to my country nothing will be left except bones and dust..........

[drunkengringo]

Somalia is Somali problem, then an African problem, then a Eastern Hemisphere problem, then a world problem. Apparently, the other countries of Africa do not care. There are only 10 million people in Somalia. Even if as many as half were starving, the world could absorb them easily. Heck, Memphis, TN could always use more negros.

[CrabbWalker]

...and Im being serious, not funny.

[CrabbWalker]

Meanwhile, in America...

[drunkengringo]

@CrabbWalker "What about America? The world's problems are not America's problems. Besides, look South, pal. Lot's of poor, hungry homeless, Latinos under your feet. Many do not have water to drink, and drink out of sewers.

[CrabbWalker]

@drunkengringo

Regarding my last comment, I was commenting on the solipsistic nature we Americans tend to have, and how good we have it compared to most of the world. My message was tended towards Americans (since they populate most of youtube) but I am sorry, for I forgot how diverse the commenting section can be in certain videos.

[CrabbWalker]

oh and my bad--- we don't populate most of youtube.... 

[Ivarinjs]

I want to help! How can I help?

I can easily buy crap I don't need, but I do not know how can I give some money that would help. If everyone gave only a little...

What do I have to do to help?

[DELTYM]

Nice hood !!! 

[GouledXD]

I will tell you this: actually having been to Somalia I know there are a lot of people there born intelligent (just like here), they just never get the chance to grow because so little people go to school (because it costs money). I'm certain if I grew up where my parents did (in Hargeysa) today I'd be a very different person. I would have never made it past elementary, and seeing how dangerous the place is I probably would've died young. I could have been one of the victims of this famine.

[GouledXD]

Some people here are just terrible. I can't believe this. I am of Somali decent, I was born in Canada. My parents where born and raised in Somalia then they came to Canada as adults. I went to Somalia for two months this Summer break, and I saw how people in Africa lived, and how the monetary divide really effects people. No human deserves this kind of suffering, maybe it's because I sometimes feel like if my parents never came to Canada I would be there with them. More people should see that.

[7Poeticsoul]

@GouledXD People don't care until it happens to them

[GouledXD]

@7Poeticsoul So true. Some people are just extremely closed minded, and it really does get annoying.

[7Poeticsoul]

@GouledXD i know me i love my african brothers and sisters that i meet in america im a african american who's ancestors were brought here for slavery so when i meet africans i get a connection

[drunkengringo]

@7Poeticsoul  Good. Good. Send them your paycheck. Go there and live with them.

[emoryelisabethdean]

@whiteboygotswagg Using the F word won't emphasize your point, so it's not necessary. And there's no need to get so offended. I wasn't even speaking directly towards you.

[neon1ce1]

I wish i could open a butcher shop to kill americans these bastards r devils

[ALANLEEY]

@neon1ce1 dont bite the hand that feeds you

[neon1ce1]

America is devil and should be wiped off with nukes every american should be killed so there can be peace on this planet earth

[ImGonnaKillYou2nd]

@neon1ce1 this is not americas problem

[MrRossT1]

Ahhhhhh!!! What the report missed was that the US Delta Force blew up a gathering of elders who met to end the internal conflicts, and that triggered hostility to the American presence. The actions of killing respected elders who wielded power and influence over even those with guns was what triggered the madness. The equivalent would be assassinating Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King, and John F Kennedy all in one day.

[DanSFSD]

When people are starving to death 18 dead U.S. soldiers is too many, when there's oil at stake over 5,000 dead U.S. soldier is an acceptable toll.

[77naan]

So much for "refrain from offensive and off-topic remarks as well as personal attacks"

[BuckleyCoons]

NIGGERS

[ValkiryeMax]

@BuckleyCoons LOL Fucking Horn of Africa savage muslim niggers, trying to destroy the west, I hope the Horn Of Africa burns in a lake of fiery negro shit.

[emoryelisabethdean]

I can't believe the heartlessness of some of these comments! It is only by the grace of God that you weren't born into that situation! Instead of criticizing others, be thankful for your lot in life and do what you can to help other people!

[whiteboygotswagg]

@emoryelisabethdean Shut the fuck up about god god hasnt nothing to do with this

[Swotoful]

@emoryelisabethdean

Out "God" has nothing to do with this you fucking moron.

@emoryelisabethdean There is no god.

[Abbadon380]

this is just sad

[Abbadon380]

fuck fuck fuck STUPID AL SHABAB STUPID MUSLIM FUNDAMENTALISM STUPID TRIBAL CRAP THEY ARE THE ONES CAUSING ALL THIS SHIT THE US SHOULDVE INVADED SOMALIA AGAIN AND DESTROYED AL SHABAB AND THE RICH FUCKING ARAB COUNTRIES DO NOTHING THEY ARE RACIST AND DONT GIVE A FUCK HUMANITY HAS REACED A NEW FUCKING LOW

[Misterphooey]

the last few comments include the following words to describe starving Somalis: cockroaches, birth control, muzzies, niggers, 3rd world mongrels.

FUCK HUMANITY.

[howie1962]

Somalians breed like cockroaches.

These people don't need food they need BIRTH CONTROL

Inshallah they will find a more effieciant way to kill each other and that will solve the problem

FREE PALESTINE

[Abbadon380]

@howie1962 screw palestine THIS IS ABOUT Somalia

[howie1962]

@Abbadon380

screw Somalia Somalians are worthless DOGSHIT

The PALESTINIANS ARE SUFFERING help them!

[Abbadon380]

@howie1962 O PLEASE GO FUCK YOURSELF THE SOMALIAN SUFFERING IS GREATER THE PALESTINIAN SUFFERING IS SELF INFLICTED HUMAN BEINGS ARE HUMAN BEINGS

[northwestblazinfire]

@howie1962 WHOAAA that was ridiculous man, i dont know who taught you to be so dark, but im sorry you feel that way. honestly.

[Valakian3590]

Why aren't the muslim countries and their organisations taking care of their "brothers"? We in the west should wash our hands from this mess and let the muzzies candle this!!

[thedisbatcher]

maybe if niggers weren't so fucking stupid they could figure out how to grow some food...

[ScoundrelzNTwK]

Fuck that country and those people, 3rd world mongrels that can't even feed themselves and at the same time have the nerve to pop out an average of 5 children per woman and burden the rest of the world with even more beggars.

Nuke the place and do these "people" a favor.

[mahdi0123456789]

@ScoundrelzNTwK why are you watching it then. you are a low life scum. if you were in their place you probaly want help too. your sick weasel.

[newdawnfades100]

@bv141a you must be an idiot :)

[newdawnfades100]

@MrWutangkilla1 why do I have the feeling you are going to die a slow miserable death for saying that

[MrWutangkilla1]

The dead children they keep poppin out. why dont they eat them and drink there blood? Problem solved

[northwestblazinfire]

@invisibleisolation Yet you still enjoy a higher standard of living then even the most diligent and hardworking Somali male. You lack the most basic noble trait, compassion, I am one for saying the quote, You make the bed you lay in. However this is not the case with Somlia, do independent research into the history and tell me we have not orchestrated this entire civil war and famine. Do not trust international banksters propaganda mills either, corporate news is a cruel trick.

[gshooting]

@invisibleisolation lol, so YOU thought you had a right to other people's money?

[MrWutangkilla1]

Why do you 3rd world countries blame the Us For everything? sort your own shit out

[northwestblazinfire]

@MrWutangkilla1 When you take such a hardline stance of such a complicated issue without any actual knowledge of the history or cultural situations in Somlia you show your cards. Please take the time to read if your interested, the Empire is at work with very dark forces in Africa. Having a deeper understanind of history gives us wisdom to draw upon and makes it easier to express love and compassion. Please look for the truth, do not allow your self to be shoveled that line of shit.

[pryncessable]

Birth control would be a start. Why these people wicked to their own kind. Whata Shame!

[northwestblazinfire]

@pryncessable The same way we can be tricked into our civil war. The same way we had the bloods and the crips. Its divid and conquer plain and simple. Please look hard for the truth and use your head.

[pryncessable]

@northwestblazinfire

Tricked what are you talking about? We dont have to be tricked we have been killing our own kind ever since. Whethter we like it or not some blacks dont like their own kind dat's da truth, I dont know what you talking about use your head, I dont have time for this debate, you have your opinion I have mind base on what I have encountered over the years personally. Their is good and bad in every race!

[northwestblazinfire]

@pryncessable Very true, however once you realise that people have tendacies based on the stimulus they receive. Seminole Indians for example were rasied with those values, like wise with any society. When media consumes your everyday routine you are inevitably influenced by that media. You may think your opinion is your own, but you'd be surpirsed.

[pryncessable]

@northwestblazinfire

That the thing I dont live or based my life on what the media says. I mostly rely on the media for the weather and traffic. I am an historic addict, I found out alot of things through history that was thought in school by error. I base my facts on evidence for instant to go to an historic place even a museum where it happen to see actual documents that has been proven as fact. Am not into international issues but I dont like injustice for anybody .

[northwestblazinfire]

@pryncessable Good for you, much can be learned by looking to the past. If you havnt read People's History by Howard Zinn i would highly suggest it for real history.

This Malthusian genocide orchrastrated by the State Department is a fourth reich level War. It makes me sick the comments on this page about how they breed like coachroaches and just need to die. Thats the type of disgusting influence the media has over our inate ability of compassion and love. Its really sad actually.

[pryncessable]

@northwestblazinfire

Very well. Have a great day!

[bv141a]

no rain,nothing left to steal,neighbors hate them,whats the world to do with Somalia?

[MrWutangkilla1]

@bv141a A new Disneyland Complex hopefully :)

[bv141a]

@MrWutangkilla1 Mickey mouse would get kidnapped,Pluto eaten,Minnie have to wear a burka.

[MrWutangkilla1]

@bv141a The crazy thing is that would be what actually happened :) If these hungry broke mofukaz stopped poppin out babies they cant support theyd be ok. Them people are al qaieda fools. I aint helpin them 4 shit. Oh yeh What will happen to Snow White? I fucked the 1 at Disneyland Paris + ive had a ting 4 miss White ever since :)

[bv141a]

@MrWutangkilla1 I'm not proud of myself but I agree with youi

[gshooting]

@invisibleisolation lol, so YOU have a right to other people's money? LOL.

[zfasakr]

Arab shikh has allote of money to spend on fucking bullshit ,but not to pay and save some ones life

[thesafewordisbanana]

The US may have to concede their policy towards the Al Shabab. What is important is that aid reaches everybody, even if this empowers the barbarians. What choice do we have? An outrageous travesty is what this is!

[northwestblazinfire]

@thesafewordisbanana Or they themselves could just call the entire operation off, The CIA is behind Al-Shabbab, just like Al-quada. Its more of a travesty then the compassionate human mind wants to comprehend.

[jcb570]

thay dont have to sit and wate for a handout there is to maney in just that first camp not to help themselves.just look at the workforce just siting there wating for what?(death)

[micahgee]

@jcb570

There is no arable land on which to grow food on raise cattle!!!!

How are these people just going to "help themselves"?!?

[jcb570]

@micahgee i guss your right thay will all die no reason to try to live.there is 4million people thay can save there selves.but some people will let other people worry about them instead of helping themselves.4million people can build somthing from nothing.

[northwestblazinfire]

@invisibleisolation In essense i agree with you, however you sensitivity on the issue is rather brash. In reality this can all be taken care of with private charity, however we must understand what we have done to this country via international trade policies. I suggest you read about the reality of the civil war in Somalia and do what any good journalists or detective does, fallow the money. I am afraid you will be shocked at the results of your research.

[Hightechmoneytalks]

Good documentary.

[lionsare]

you people should be ashamed of your self's. i'm sure if these were white christian faces you would care more.

[atemlos2585]

Make more children! She had 7 child in those condition? For fuck sake, is there even a glimpse of common sense?

[blackdreamhunk2]

WHERE IS YOUR ARAB GOD SOMALIA AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

where are those those Arabs that say they are your fiend? oh wait they don't give a dam! Allah does not give dam!

[blackdreamhunk2]

I say let them die they were dumb enough to believe in Arab Allah myths any way! They were dumb enough to let war enter the own country. ALLAH NEEDS MORE AFRICAN BLOOD TO DRINK!

[Magenta408]

I was in Mogadishu several times in the 80s and it was a pearl at the time. Look at it now!!

[blackdreamhunk2]

I am sure the white Europeans, Arabs and """Allah"""" is laughing at you.

[blackdreamhunk2]

so much for Arab god helping! what's his name again Allah!!

[AlJazeeraEnglish]

Hello from the Fault Lines team - let's keep the comments here pertinent to what is shown in the episode itself. Let's refrain from offensive and off-topic remarks as well as personal attacks.

[Mathenaut]

@AlJazeeraEnglish

Good luck with that. Unfortunately, there is a good chance that you'll find more racists than people who legitimately care.  That is a sad thing. :(

[venivettivici]

What kills me the most is those who supposed to be educated, elders, religious people and leaders either sides are aware of all these and none of them feel the pain of the people they want to lead... Further more the very guy who used to oppress people and even kill for that matter has the guts to work with AU and TFG... Now tell me USA, EU, UN and ICC cares about Somali people.. I mean what we did to the world,  yeah we don't have natural resources so what! you either help us or leave us please

[wakiil2010]

feelin srry my nation...fuck... SHABAAB, USA , TFG and AMISOM. they ar behind every thing that happend to us .

[malikazhar100]

Such a painful wordings ......" They came and take pictures,do Nothing "..Still u should be thankful that u r not in afghanistan and Iraq..Atleast u r safe from NATO air rads on innocent People on the name of war on terror....

[Kingzofbrum]

@malikazhar100 iraq is fiine and afghanistan cities r run by american but not the villages but in somaliia the villages r even in risk

[malikazhar100]

@Kingzofbrum Iraq is fine????waow..Lancet and Iraq body counts Survey concludes that 0.7 million People died within 8 years and still u believe that Iraq is fine??...waow...I appreciate ur knowledge..Salutes U man...Thats the westren Democracy imposed on innocent Iraqis by US and NATO..Should I update u about afghan situation as well or is it enough???

[lproth]

@malikazhar100 most of the dead are Iraqi on Iraqi dead....they are still killing each other....I spent 16 months in country. Also you have no clue whats going on in Afganistan unless you get a high level briefing or are currently in country. I have buddies thier now....

[malikazhar100]

@lproth U got buddies but em living in the neighboring country of Afghanistan..We had 7 million afghan refugees in our country So em well aware of whats going on in Afghanistan...By eating burgers and drinking kavod u can not understand whats happening over there...will suggest u to take a trip...

[northwestblazinfire]

@malikazhar100 actually my friend, these people face a much darker fate. Do not forget that most of Somalia is a war zone and we have been using drones there as well.

[malikazhar100]

The Death of a country on the name of War on Terror...

[morninggloryseed]

Stay out of it US/UN this is all your fault, and where are the US and UN in all of this, and how could they allow this to happen.

[brunobeiber]

when the United Nations will take action to help the people of Somalia.

although not on my continent, America, is in my world is on my mind. It is people like us. We just have to give hope to them

[shipshipdhe]

WFP is terrorist organization who has links to the internationally recognized terrorist organizations' like CIA NATO UN…….This organizations' what they do is instigating interventions forcefully displacement of entire populations' endless wars then they claim people are starving....This is how they do a business.Just look around what happening in Somalia middle of Mogadishu there is foreign forces who are estimated around 18 thousand protecting few punch of criminals who they call government

[mohalishaf]

The Prophet Muhammad(pbuh) abolished enslavement, promote human & women's rights 1400yrs ago.. if you still prefers to be enslaved & live in ignorance that your preference but don't blame everything else on Islam.. arabs has no superiority over non-arabs, nor whites over blacks.. all are equals in Islam.. to kill a man is to kill the whole of humanity.. there's no compulsion in Islam.. you worship what you will and we worship what we believe. God guides, forgive and punish whom He wills.. Ameen!

[craysichic]

why should you enforce your way of living (democracy) on a nation ....now that is oppression these people are chatting poop ...they want to act like hereos after dumping radioactive waste in our sea . Bullshitters its the Amisom forces who want to fuck up Somalia even more ,Kenya along with Ethiopia and Uganda by the aid of america. But on the other hand I also blame my people for killing one another because of clan disputes.

[mohalishaf]

You can call a $15trillions stricken debts.. enslavement or freedom of choice.. you can call a special interest.. hypocrisy or democracy that's your choices.. you can buy over loyalty or ignorance that's your preference.. but you can never buy over Islam and the will of the people.. not another 1400yrs you can't.. God Willing.. Ameen!

[wideopenthrottl]

We should be shipping millions of condoms to Somalia and employing sex education.

[Misterphooey]

Look at this man's eyes at 20:03. You look at him and you just KNOW he's killed alot of people. there's not a shred of warmth in his face.

[jber8103]

We need to start helping our own country out where we have thousands of families and children in need!!!!

[yourtreat2]

Interesting. The Shish-Kebab Islamist Spokesman looked well fed. I'd say he is rather plump. Hefty helpings of ham and eggs for breakfast, eh?

[chefchaney1012]

what is that white slop their eating

[HerroHerrar]

professor Abdi Samatar and his brother should be in government of Somalia

[liltaydarock]

I Aint Sayin Its Wrong But They Should Slow Down On Havin All Them Damn Kids

[rorylol]

@magaleecirpili89 Seeing as I am an atheist that religious crap falls flat on it's ass.

I never said anything about race being the cause, but I guess you just had to find a label for me because you are too stupid to come up with a real argument.

Have fun with your sub 50 IQ and imaginary friend.

[masluxx]

i know what does not work, living in a desart and having 7.2 children per female.

[lamrof]

It all started when the Americans and British installed the Jews in Palestine. I always say America and Britain together with the west sewn their demise when they did that some 60 years ago. The existence of Israel as a country of the Jews will be disrupting peace of this world for a 1000 years in the future. They west cannot withstand the onslaught of Islam for that long.

[ritchloui]

@lamrof LOL. Listen to yourself. You think 'it all started 60 years ago' but somehow the 'west cannot withstand the onslaught of Islam'. So when did it really start? Let's just say it started 1,400 years ago when an Arabian bandit slaver got the bright idea that if he pretended he was best mates with an all-powerful God, he could make people afraid of him, and he and his gangster friends could rob and enslave anyone they wanted.

[lamrof]

@ritchloui So the native Americans should rise 1500 years later and disloge Europeans from the Americans? Should the Nubians disloge current day Egyptians? If you bring an issue 1400 years ago, what stops the world from brining all kind of historical shit to start wars? Listen to yourself.

[ritchloui]

@lamrof No, that's not at all what I'm suggesting. What I do think is essential is that the peoples of Africa and the Middle East dispense with theocratic governance. Religious tyranny is unlike any other. The people of Iran could hardly have anticipated that their 'revolution' would send them straight down the fast track to 7th century barbarism. Public executions by hanging, public stoning, shooting bloodthirsty crowds baying Allahu Akbar. This is very likely to the Middle East.

[ritchloui]

@lamrof Let's see, if the Islamic world was a football field and there was a shoebox in the middle, that'd be Israel, then if only that shoebox would just go away all the problems in the Islamic world would go away too. Right? The fact is that the Muslims can't live with anyone, not even other Muslims, because their vile death cult insists that they keep apart, they are taught to distrust, disrespect and dominate others. Then there's the multiple wives, child marriage and bandit lifestyle.

[mohalishaf]

May the rains of Mercy befall upon drought stricken Somalia.. and may it's thunderous lightnings strike the very heart of the evil perpetrators of peace, justice, truth and freedom of humanity.. Ameen!

[Gorillaland]

@rorylol If you think jihadism on the Horn of Africa has nothing to do with you and your security, you're in for ANOTHER big surprise. Wake up! Get real! Africa's plight is your nightmare...

[rorylol]

@Gorillaland Religion has something to do with it, I will grant that much but the main problem is cultural.

I am fairly sure that this will not befall the western world seeing as our culture is much different.

Large parts of the continent of Africa has been subject to all kinds of maladies since as far back as I can remember, it hasn't spread, nor has it gotten any better.

[Gorillaland]

@rorylol You've obviously been distracted. Many of Africa's long-running civil wars have (more or less) ended: Sudan, Congo, Angola and examples of the old Africa (destitute, violent and isolated) are becoming rare. The last decade has seen three times as many democratic elections as in the previous 10 years, and Africa the only continent in the world where there is real economic growth right now: 5% across the board. 150 million African are electronics consumers... The list goes on.

[mohalishaf]

Yeah right.. blame it on the Muslims.. blame it on the Islamist.. or whatever.. bottom line is you're afraid of a UNITED Muslims.. sound and smell like a zionist agenda.. did we ever invade your zionist controlled country.. STOP playing GOD.. STOP meddling in Muslim affairs.. get your troops out of Muslim lands.. we don't ever CARE if the zionist own every part of the western world. if you prefer to sell your own soul that's up to you. the way of PEACE is to be peaceful. May Peace be upon you..

[SL4yb]

somalies must take their destiny in their hands, by force.

[rorylol]

Lets face it, if they aren't starving to death or succumbing to disease they will start killing each other in order to determine who owns the pile of dirt they are standing on and who's interpretation of the Quran is the right one.

It is sad that it has come to this but I simply cannot bring myself to care about Africas plight any more.

[tuobniklat]

Islamists ruined Somalia and then they blame the west. They could have recovered from imperialism and slavery were it not for islamic tyrants.

[r213ify]

@tuobniklat had there been not any other foreigner forces there would not have been much of a chois!!!

[ritchloui]

@tuobniklat You seem to imply that Islam was not involved in slavery. Islam was BUILT on slavery. The entire presence of Islam in Africa is the extent of the Arab slave trade. The Islamist slavers have always ensured that their slave pool are destitute and just hanging on. The Koran was written by and for slave traders, warlords and bandits. That is how its 'prophet' made his living, racketeering, conquest, robbery and slaves.

[Gorillaland]

You cannot deliver justice through murder

[northwestblazinfire]

@Gorillaland an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.

[isgbful]

What have AlQaida and al Shaba done for humanity, what have they done for Islam? wherever they go, death, injustices, oppression , destruction follow, they have nothing to offer but ignorance, cruelty, poverty, death and destruction, is this what Allah made the world for?

[ritchloui]

@isgbful Ah yes, the 'religion of peace' doing its worst once again. Al Shebab do what they do shouting 'Alluha Akbar'. Muslims have shown themselves utterly incapable of opposing the tyrannical Islamists. Instead, it falls to non-Muslims to try and oppose them and try and pick up the pieces. The Muslims stand by wringing their hands or going on the rampage because of their offense at cartoons, satirical novels and teddy bears.

[isgbful]

@ritchloui you sir, are an ignorant islamophobe, you don't have a clue as to what Islam really is, Islam has much to offer humanity.

[tuobniklat]

@isgbful Not really, it's a violent cult. You can call me an islamophobe if you like but I'm not, a phobia would imply my fear is unreasonable.

[ritchloui]

@isgbful Islam is the only religion that openly and repeatedly advocates the violent elimination of all other religions, the extermination of polytheists and the enslavement of non-Muslims. The Koran is FULL of incitements to violence and the Jihadi bandits are all well-versed in Koranic teachings to justify their murder of non-combatants. It has NOTHING to offer the modern world and those under its jackboot are on the fast track to the 7th century.

[isgbful]

@ritchloui if it really was as you say, I would have never followed it, the truth of the matter is you are just as mistaken as Al-Qaida and Al Shabab,I have never read anything more powerful, compelling, beautiful as the Glorious Quran Allah Wak bar, now submit your booty,lol

[ritchloui]

@isgbful I hope you are being satirical about the Koran being 'powerful, compelling, beautiful'. LOL. I really think you are missing out if you don't extend your reading materials. There are SO many marvelous, beautiful books to read. I too have read the Koran and I found it a dull, repetitive, rather unpleasant diatribe of threats, absurd promises and vague, meaningless nonsense. There is nothing beautiful in constantly threatening people and making them fear and mistrust others.

[isgbful]

Al Shabab is a criminal organization, they are commiting crimes against humanity in the name of Islam, these gangsters need to be brought to justice.

[northwestblazinfire]

@isgbful I agree, we must be diligent in fallowing the money trail and understanding who it is that funds these monsters. Their seems to be a very disturbing agenda behind the curtain here.

[isgbful]

@northwestblazinfire Cut the money trail and those Al Shabab characters will starve to death, good idea:)

[northwestblazinfire]

@isgbful You must have not read my comment, we have to be diligent is researching who it is that funds the Al-shabbab terror cell. When you take such a hard stance on such complicated issues with out any real knowledge to draw from you show your cards. Do your self a favor and in turn help all of humanity by actually taking the time to find truth. It does wonders for the ability to express love and higher understanding. Do not reduce yourself to being a barbarian.

Al-Jewzeera, instead of representing the interests of Muslims around the World &telling the Truth, you have repeat Western Kaafir Propaganda. Why dont you say that Ethiopia invaded on July 2 2006 which was a War of Aggression (aka an offensive act of war to prop up a corrupt, unpopular &foreign backed puppet Gov't. And Al-Shabaab was declared a "Terrorist group" before they ever did any international "terrorist" act, and the only reason they did so in Uganda in 2010 is because their soldiers..
