Yero
The fact is that Somalian are no different to any other society. The Clan
loyalty you alluded to came about as result of Saide Barri's communist rule
which resulted in disenfranchise loyalty and mutual suspicions. Therefore,
if a society lacks a central unified administrative power base, there is
bound to be eneminity and division, we are seeing a taste of it ourselves.
Runing back to Clan means finding security and sometimes unconditional
protection because the criminal eliment that dominate the public spheres of
every day affairs don't have any remorse. Hence, Clan significant is akin to
tribe significance. Somalia have only one Language, although the Bantu's who
occupy the sea area have their own language, but that is a minor issue.
The rise of generalise attacks on Islam is an age old thing. And sadly,
lazily and Europhonic pseudo Muslim who wish to live the good live in the
west help maintain this tag. Although I believe if anybody have a reason to
hate the West and engage in any form of antagonism with them, it should be
Africans. The oppressions of blacks which was institutionalised, a
legitimate government policy until the late 1960s in America, systematically
use the Bible to oppress, hate and commit acts of slaughter against not only
Africans but the red Indians. And the fact is, the policy of hating the
others never stops, it only change direction.
How did Islam became the West druming instrument for war slogan? Over 600
years ago. The realisation that, Islam can never be changed to accommodate
the 'neo-liberalist, accept everything the market throws at you' resulted in
the now use of democratising and secularising Islam.
To achieve this goal, paraihs where created ie the Ben Ladin and countless
others to be use as the canon folder against the 1.3Billion Muslims who
don't have anytime for Ben Laden and his gang. But since they need them so
that, even our own analyst will use the new words and slogans to generalise
hate against us all. *Words like 'Islamist' Fundamentalist, Jihadist,
Terrorist, Extremist etc.* This words can be applied to anybody or group.
But they have attained sole use against Islam and Muslims. We all fear to
question this terms and their motives, therefore it became easier for a
Muslim living in America to apologise for a crime he didn't commit neither
knows the person who commit it.
This is why, you see generalisation. If you read Anthony Giddens book:
Runaway world, how globalisation is reshaping our lives
http://books.google.co.uk/books?hl=en&lr=&id=KPMtVIsNo-wC&oi=fnd&pg=PR11&dq=anthony+giddens+globalisation&ots=30s39dak25&sig=-DcVteRsu2SKkC4V7Py_c4935WM
. You will understand what I mean. Also the neo-conservative Huntington
paper (Clash of Civilisation) which is full of racism and superiority
complexes. Yet, those who give us Algeada, give us even Hamas, and countless
obscure groups are the same people blaming us and Islam for a crime we don't
approve or sanctioned by our faith. Another informationative scholar is the
Palestinian Christian writer (Edward Saed) check his book on
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orientalism_(book) Orientalism. See how our
folks use terms mechanically devise to demonise our humanity itself yet, the
tools invented to earn collective punishment are expanded so that we can all
bow down our heads. The criminal acts of Ben Laden and his bands have no
place in Islam, it doesn't matter who invented him. I for one don'tcare
about him and his ideas, he is just like the popet regimes (client states).
No Muslim have an individual right to kill anybody. You cannot collectively
punish a group because your family was hurt. This is why, collective attacks
by socall Islamicist groups have no place in Islam. They found this ideas in
Maxism and other war strategies. In fact they were train by the intelligence
agents of those countries who will later come to police them, thus
curtailing our rights for their agendas.
Thanks Yero for sharing. The simple question is why should anyone wish to
die for others? The youths dying in Palestine are not the poor kids, this
are the middle class and wealthy. The poor kids can tolerate oppression, but
the rich and middle class can't hence, they use whatever means is out there
to end it all. The underlying reasons for the violence and constant state of
war is never question. This is why, even Obama will continue this state. We
Africans never came to fight or revenge at the West, we came to live and
enjoy ourselves and in fact boost about our being here. After Cold war where
hundreds of Africans, South Americans and eastern Europeans die for proxy
war, Islam and Muslims is brought in to further the constant war that the
large armies must fight.
Am afraid, but we have to accept our powerlessness and pray for peace. sadly
some Christain group use the tags against Islam to try to justify their
faith. But the truth is, Islam is of peace and tolerance. The Prophet said
"be in the midle ground" don't compromise your faith by drinking,
womanising, openly engaging in riba, lying, cheating etc simply because you
think it is ok. But do things in moderation. The failures of governments to
stand up for the people is also contributing lone rangers hijacking Islam
for their frustrations. Patience is a virtue. It is lame to say all
religions are the same. I hope Fye Samateh can go tell that, Pope Benedict.
