nadia208 @ 7/2/2008 12:46 PM EST  Gacaliye, I don't know why Dr Ali JJ all the time. Can you not write the whole word Ali?. Dr Ali, I suggest to you that you go back and check the word "Islamist". Who coined it, why do they label Islamist instead of Muslims and how it is even wrong linguisticly. If you don't know that bro,you have no business JJing us.

@ 7/2/2008 12:34 PM EST  Dear dr Eber/Ladage, one dies once, not twice. By assassinating or trying to scare all able Somalis is not an option.  "Dr" Ali, say to your new chief, Sheidan Indha-Caddde that gameis over, in brawe there is gonna grew food instead of his narcots!                                                                                                     Gacaliye.

@ 7/2/2008 11:30 AM EST  Dr.Eber/Ladage, so little fiend, was't it the occupation we have to fight out by all means?  And now, you put your Al-xaramaastist card in the Somali bush by assassinting every Soamli who can something  about a soiety?   Come on, "Dr" Ali/Lamadage, in Somalia there is no market for J against J, for us Somals they are 2 different sh*ts on the same coin!                                                                                                                                                      Gacaliye.

Lamadage @ 7/2/2008 2:24 AM EST  Jaale Afuuf, I was tempted to reply to you but I found you know little about Somali Islamist history let alone axkaam of takfiirin of Muslims.. So I forgo with any serious discussion for any new comer. Meanwhile, I want to remind you that I do live in Mogadishu and part of J war. I'm telling you that only to curtail your prone dembi indulging soul. And BTW, Alshabab is neither ICU nor anyone entourage. Make towbah from insults and takfiirin you painted here without fear of Allah.

afuuf @ 7/1/2008 9:10 PM EST  Lamadage, you sound like someone on a time bomb, you sure you dont need bomb disposal team to relief you out of your missery when you say liberation train leaves without sheikh sharif, you sure that, this train is going to the front rather to Mekka and use excuses like its Hajj time. I am sure if you have a spare life, you would gladly join the trip to hell but dude you are smart cause you want to waste others life ''gala dagaalka' ku lahaa if sheikh sharif says stop the war, it should stop without him there wont be no islamci courts, although he is not the founder, he is the extentioner shekh cali dheere started, didnt want to join ranks with the christian korneel called daahir aways, and sheikh sharif couldnt kick him out cause it was too late. either way lamadage and people like you should walk the walk if they can talk the talk bring your sorry ass to the war front instead of blog rooms or elsewhere finally, put up or shut up, no more jihad on innocent muslim somalis because afuerki says so, because indhacadde likes so because christian missonary korneel aways feel so take care wabillahi towfiq

laylasamatar @ 7/1/2008 7:48 PM EST  ma fahansani  are they meeting in dj or in yemen!!and who are all these people and what they want for heaven sake!!!???

Lamadage @ 7/1/2008 4:31 PM EST  Somali freedom fighters will continue their holy mission regardless. If Sharif come back to his brothers that is fine. If not the train of liberation will not stop for him and likes. It is not time for conferences...It is time to participate J war that is going on in Somalia.
