Gibiin-Udug
Crowned Queen of Puntland. Supporter of PuntExit
He wanted to change the verses of the Quran, he built churches in Muqdisho, alcohol was openly consumed. He killed the 10 sheikhs who questioned him.
Was he even a Muslim?
Here's some expert of the book called The Suicidal State in Somalia: The Rise and Fall of the Siad Barre Regime, 1969–1991
Addressing a 1000-strong crowd in the Konis Stadium, his speech was a confrontational in the sense that Islam was framed as something that could hardly intermingle with modernity of the day. Given that his education and understanding of the world religions were little, Siad Barre invented in his speech a fiction follower of Prophet Muhammad to widen his declaration by claiming that the Koran was contradictory. Using with sarcasm language against Islam, he contended that the Somali Society could not rely upon two wealthy men, Guuleed Bin Ubeyd and Lord scott, who protected their wealth through religion. Ironically, both bin Ubeyd and Scott were non-existent characters, though they could be found in the Presedent's dictionary. He continued to say, with very contentious tongue, that Islam was solely intended for 'barbaric Arabs'.
He challenged his audience whether they were ready to be slaves forever. By slaves, he seemed to suggest that the Somali masses had been enslaved by Islam. 'How can hungry person would respect a religion; if the person is a woman, she would strip herself of naked, because she has a right to live'. Thus he stressed that the food of the self was better than the belief of a religion.
He thought Islam was enslaving Somalia and he wanted to free it.
