Islam uniting Somalis

[Barkhadle1520]

What are some examples of Somalis like Isaaq, Dir, Hawiye, Rx and Darod being united under Islam ?

I'll start with the ICU cause I love the ICU :

Somaliland military officers defect to the Islamic Courts Union in order to fight off the Ethiopian invasion in December 2006

Somaliland and Puntland's support of the ICU against the Ethiopian/US invasion

During November 2006, Skh Hassan Dahir Aweys of the ICU Shura Council issued a public apology to the people of the north for what had happened during the civil war and promised compensation for the destruction and loss of life that occurred.

Support for the Courts in Somaliland was so significant that the government in Hargeisa feared an outright Islamic uprising

Peace under the ICU was so sudden that even Somalilanders who had seceded were thinking back about an union

I never experienced this period but my dad also thinks highly of the ICU, everytime I think about it, it fascinates me, at a time where Somalis hated each others the most the ICU bringed them back together peacefully in less than a year, this is the true power of Islam and no other government will be able to achieve this سبحان الله

Personally, I'm willing to set aside old disputes and grudges with other clans if it means starting fresh and uniting under Islam, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way.

This is what an american academic had to say about the ICU: *failed to exhibit Taliban-like tendencies, i.e. strict application of Islamic law,
prohibition of employment and healthcare for women*

I dont know why people try to make it seem like they were just some barbaric people who hid behind the diin when infact they were the first form of governance to open public services, get rid of warlords, opened the airport for the first time in years and actually made the south a safer place.

Unfortunately their reign was cut short

The US under Bush were waging a war on Islam, the ICU was literally created as a response to CIA using warlords to hunt down clerics and muslims, also don't know why I can't upvote your message it does that sometimes on this website
