Hmmm.... how long have they been in power in Somalia now?
They sure are quick to jump to conclusions.

No need to use that langauge akhee. But I agree. The Ethiopian president just wants to keep his hands on the part of Somalia that he already has.
SubhanAllah it's so sad what's going on there. The Ethiopian soldiers go around killing people and raping girls.
May Allah give victory to Islam, and glory to the Umamh, ameen.
W'salaam
Do you really think the US is the only one who has a problem with these Islamists? They have more enemies then just the US, and the Ethiopians appear to have their own reasons for seeing them as a threat.format_quote Originally Posted by islam-truth

Ethiopins are Christians.they think the evil Islamists will kill them all...oops.
And why would they think that? Tell me how many times since Muhammed Ethiopians have attacked Muslims. Ask yourself, how many times since Muhammed have Muslim attacked Ethiopians. Besides which Ethiopia is a socialist country with Christians and Muslims in the government.format_quote Originally Posted by Emir Aziz

You know the joke about the Cannibal who goes out hunting with three pygmies? He comes back with two. The next day he goes out with two, comes back with one. The next day he calls on the last one to come with him and the other pygmies say "Umm, do you think you ought to go?" and the last pygmy says "Why not? So far so good".format_quote Originally Posted by Emir Aziz

You mean apart from those terrorist attacks - the Somalis are thought to have let the terrorists through into Kenya for the Embassy attacks, the Hotel attacks and the attempt on the Israeli airliner.format_quote Originally Posted by islam-truth
The fact is that radical Islam has decided to pick a fight with the West. Why wouldn't any rational Western person not prefer Islamists to be in jail rather than in power? How can this work out in a way that is even vaguely satisfactory for the West?

You think? Terrorism would be the only way he could get Sharia implemented.format_quote Originally Posted by islam-truthWhat ever, I'm sure if toney Blair suddenly decided to become a muslim and implament the sharia he'd be accused of terrorism aswel wouldn't that be ironic!
Of course if the ruler of Somali became a Catholic like Tone and implemented Western law he wouldn't be accused of being a terrorist. He'd probably have his throat cut. Don't mess with Somalis!
What exactly do you know about Somalia HeiGou? Remember you are talking to a Somali. Ethiopian soldiers have caused so much terror in parts of Somalia. So don't talk to me about Islamists and terror.
A lot of the stuff happening in Somalia is over basic human necessities to live. Since 1/5 Somali's depend on aid to LIVE... the clans are stealing a lot of the food, and they make trades with other clans for weapons, and so on... the fighting continues, people are starving and dying everyday there. 1/5 childern under 7 years old suffers from acute malnutrition... it's a screwed up world there...
It's a screwed up world everywhere. But yeah, may Allah make it easy for those of us suffering in the ummah, ameen.
I thought I was talking to a British Muslim. Ethiopian soldiers have caused terror where exactly? It did not take long for the Somalis to prove my basic point right,format_quote Originally Posted by Umm_Shaheed

Somali Islamists condemn Ethiopia
One of the leaders of the Islamist group that controls parts of southern Somalia has accused Ethiopia of "occupying" Somali territory.
Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys called for talks on Ethiopia's Ogaden region, inhabited by ethnic Somalis.
Mr Aweys has been confirmed as the leader of the Islamists' council.
His accusation comes after Ethiopia tightened security along the Somali border, following the advance of Union of Islamic Courts.
Mr Aweys fought in the two countries' war for the region in the 1970s.
Ethiopia also played a key role in defeating his Islamist militia al-Itihaad al-Islamiya in the 1990s.
Mr Aweys is on a US list of people allegedly linked to terrorist groups and both the United States and Ethiopia have been alarmed by the Islamic courts capture of the Somali capital, Mogadishu, and other towns.
He denies the charges but the US has said it will not deal with him.
At an African Union meeting in The Gambia, the weak interim government has asked for the AU's support.
Foreign Minister Abdullahi Sheekh Ismail also condemned said Mr Aweys could not be Somalia's leader.
"He's identified with international terrorist organisations," Mr Ismail told the BBC.
"He cannot be an image representing Somalia in any case. I think everybody knows that."
Arms embargo
In Mogadishu, Union of Islamic Courts chairman Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed confirmed that Mr Aweys was the leader of a new 91-member Shura or consultative council.
It is not clear whether Mr Ahmed or Mr Aweys is the Islamists' overall leader.
The US House of Representatives is due to discuss what it calls "The Expanding Crisis in the Horn of Africa" later on Thursday.
Mr Aweys' latest comments are likely to further heighten tensions.
"Ethiopia mistreats the Somalis under their administration. The land was given to them by colonialists and we will seek justice to resolve the crisis that is dividing the two countries," Mr Aweys told the AFP news agency.
"We are ready to negotiate," he said.
The Islamists have accused Ethiopia of sending troops into Somalia in support of the weak interim government, based in Baidoa, 200km from Mogadishu.
Ethiopia's Prime Minister Meles Zenawi denies these accusations.
"We have beefed up our defences all along the border to prevent any threat to our security that might emanate from the resurgent Jihadists in Mogadishu," he said.
Ethiopia helped Somalia's now interim president, Abdullahi Yusuf, defeat al-Itihaad in the 1990s.
Last week, the Islamic courts and the largely toothless interim government agreed not to fight each other.
The recent advances of the Islamists have renewed fears of major conflict in Somalia, which has not had an effective national government for 15 years.
Meanwhile, the African Union is to ask the United Nations Security Council to partially lift its arms embargo on Somalia to allow for an African peacekeeping mission to go there.
Somalia's president is in favour of the deployment of peacekeepers, but the Islamists strongly oppose the move.

So they are claiming a piece of Ethiopia already. No doubt that will provide a good pretext for Somali to wage a war of "self-defense" against Ethiopia. Because, after all, Muslims are never aggressive.
LOOL. I thought you said Ethopia's Ogeden region?
Some top comedy there.
And i've never considered myself British. I was brought up to know my roots.
FYI, I have alot of family from my dad's side in that region. So please stop with copying and the pasting.
Actually the BBC did. Ogaden has been part of Ethiopia for how long now?format_quote Originally Posted by Umm_Shaheed

Now that is funny. Where would this newsgroup be without cut and pastes?FYI, I have alot of family from my dad's side in that region. So please stop with copying and the pasting.

I have family members who have been killed by Ethiopian soldiers, they were civillians too. Female relatives of mine have also been raped. So I think I know more about what's going on.
So how long does a country have to be labelled on a map for it to be worldy accepted? *rolls eyes*
