there was another poster (not you) who attacked me for my race, as is kind of usual on this forum if someone disagrees with me (and honestly I don't even blame them here- I agree with everything in OP but I think I should not have said anything about north being free- I stand by everything else in OP, though). which is fine but I want to attack myself for my race as well
how on earth does a Mexican here end up getting referred to as a Sheikh??????
I got banned from another forum for discussing yahud and I figured this was a place where I could discuss Islam, get away with talking about yahud and also not deal with a totally eurocentric viewpoint.... but anyways....
how on earth do I end up getting called as a Sheikh on here????
you have a Mexican being referred to as a Sheikh and you have Somalis who are bragging about zina.
I hope this infuriates everyone here.
to be honest, I had left this forum a while back and I came back because I glanced at it and I was fed up with seeing Lum being bullied for trying to promote Islam.
what is wrong with this world? you have Somalis bullying people for being Muslim and you have a Mexican being referred to as a Sheikh. and by God I have never in my life referred to myself as a Sheikh. I don't even consider myself a pious person but I can understand how I would possibly be perceived as a Sheikh if you compare me with men bragging about zina.
another thing I'd like to mention is I posted this in the history section and the mods moved it to politics. I have never posted in the Somali politics section and have no desire to do so.
how do we end up in a situation who are actually raised Muslim and are from actual Muslim countries (I'm not even talking about a specific Muslim country btw) are taking Islam as a joke and random Mexicans who don't even know Arabic are being called as a Sheikh???
it is insane.
I am not remotely anywhere near being a Sheikh and have never in my life claimed to be.
it is only that the standards are so low that anyone would even talk about me like that.
don't even support me if you don't want. an ajnaabi promoting Islam while people raised as Muslim are promoting zina and atheism???! my God!
why should people here support an ajnaabi? I don't even care if people support me.
but for the love of God I urge the people on this site to at least support Somali Muslims (ones that don't treat the dīn as a joke) on here and to help raise the bar a little so some random guy who has skimmed through 40 Hadith of Imam Nawawi isn't perceived as some sort of Sheikh.
Wow!! Your ranted about one word I called you for 16 paragraphs. You need to calm yourself bro, anonymous online forums like this one are destined to attract all kinds of degenerate freaks who promote apostasy and Zina, but not all of us promote such filthy western ideals. There will always be bad apples in the basket.
The only reason I called you Sheikh is that I thought you were well versed in the religion or at least have good knowledge about it to some extent considering how you mostly post threads in that section. I'm religious myself, hafiz and former Imam of a Masjid. Sometimes I post threads in that section too.
My issue with your thread here is the way you phrased about that incident.
You said
"I think it is extremely important that all Muslims and all people be in solidarity with the Isaaq clan". It's true that the Isaaq clan was attacked by the regime of the former somali dictator Siad Barre, but there's nothing special about that incident considering how this same dictator attacked other Somali clans like My tribe Majeerteen. The casualties of both atrocities committed by that regime are quite similar tbh, but you don't see us crying on International TVs and vowing to divide the country.
There are Somali clans who suffered triple the damage of what the Isaaqs have suffered. For instance: Rahanwayn, they're numerous Somali clan that reside in Bay and Bakool regions of Southern Somalia. SNF and USC tribal factions fought over their region and eventually slaughtered the local Rahanwayn populations killing
250,000 in the peak years of the civil war 1991-1993. Have you ever heard of Rahanwayn SJW groups mourning and weeping on international TVs about this genocide?! No. The Darood tribe have also suffered countless genocides during the civil war but you don't see us crying about it. It's all politics my friend.
I understand you're not well versed with this specific incident considering your Mexican identity but WE ARE. Genuine Somalis with greater knowledge about history get repulsed when their hear such dishonest cries of the Isaaqs about this incident. The Isaaq clan regularly invite international TVs to videotape their women crying and further their own political agenda.
If your information about the incident is minimal or almost nonexistent then don't post about it. It will create more division and false assertions by the Isaaq members on this forum.
