everyone calls al-Shabab evil,bad,killer but back home they are know as heroes. they protect Somali from the Ethiopian troops, who are contently kill Somali on there own land(even as we speak). everyone is so quick to call them a terroristic group but they are the only thing that stand between the citizen and the Ethiopian solider. WHO ARE YOU GOING TO BELIEVE THE TV OR ACTUAL WITNESSES

[macaanjecel1]

i hate people that have learned a little bit and think that they are aalim. look at this guy talking

[MrZetruth]

once somalis realise that islam is the reason why their country is in chaos than they can work on being a contributing nation on earth. somalis seem to be extremely brainwashed by islam and the grip of mental enslavement from arabs it's incredibly sad. somalia is virtually useless

[MrZetruth]

@theonecom your right somalis are too ignorant to understand that arabs are their masters mentally. islam destroyed that country and they still worship it. mohammad hated somalians and yet they practice his religion lol raisin heads lmao even if mohammad the peadophile threw insults at somalis they still bow down lmao they are fucking primitive.
