What makes this Christian think he can police 2 Somali Muslims ?
I will never turn on my own people to appease this crowd of third woldist retards that have made their entire personality Palestine.
Where were these people 2002 2009 2014 etc etc?
Shocking Embarrassment
Abdirahman Duale Bayle former Somali minister now currently a minister in Somaliland.
He gets checked by a ‘Pro Palestinian’ arab american. He calls him a bootleg muslim for selling out Muslims after Israel and somaliland relations.
@backdoorU4noRZN Corpses of dead children he says as he supports American sports teams and lives in America. How many children USA kill? SL Zionism is retarded but you niggas are hypocrites
#Barre says, “I’m willing to pray to Jesus, and here’s what I want in return.” He says, “I want my defense budget doubled.”
He says, “I want meetings for my officials with the Reagan White House. And I want a sort of a hands-off policy while I crack down on some rebels.” Doug Coe, the leader of the group, wrote back, in essence, “Done, done and done.”
AMY GOODMAN:
And Siad Barre of Somalia?
JEFF SHARLET: Yeah, dictator of Somalia. It’s, to me, one of the scariest stories that I found in their archives. I was able to recreate this, because they dumped 600 boxes of papers in the Billy Graham archives. Siad Barre was a —- not a likely candidate for Christian right recruitment, called himself a Koranic Marxist. But in the early ’80s, the Soviets had abandoned him. There had been a power shift between Somalia and Ethiopia. He was in the market for a new patron. And working through Senator Chuck Grassley, Republican of Iowa, of course still in office -—
AMY GOODMAN: Talk more about Chuck Grassley, who certainly is in the news now, who, together with Max Baucus, heads the Senate Finance Committee.
JEFF SHARLET: Yeah.
AMY GOODMAN: Baucus, Democrat; Grassley, Republican. Very powerful figure, especially around healthcare right now.
JEFF SHARLET: Indeed. And Grassley has been involved with the organization for quite some time, since the ’80s, when he traveled to Somalia to join Barre, Siad Barre, in prayer to Jesus. And he brought with him a defense contractor named Bill Brehm.
And Barre was a kind of a cynical character, as you might expect for a dictator. He was very clear. He says, “I’m willing to pray to Jesus, and here’s what I want in return.” He says, “I want my defense budget doubled.” He says, “I want meetings for my officials with the Reagan White House. And I want a sort of a hands-off policy while I crack down on some rebels.” Doug Coe, the leader of the group, wrote back, in essence, “Done, done and done.”
And when we look at history, so it was. And Barre used those weapons, supplied to him in part by the US, to wage a war of almost biblical proportion on his own people, from which Somalia has not recovered to this day. The Family doesn’t consider that a failure; they consider that God’s will for Somalia.
AMY GOODMAN: And more about Grassley? And again, we should say, this is not just a Republican organization. Democrats are also a part. In fact, you talk about Hillary Clinton —-
JEFF SHARLET: Yeah, yeah.
AMY GOODMAN: —- praying with them.
JEFF SHARLET: I think that’s one of the most important aspects of this. I think, too often, progressives tend to see the Christian right as simply an auxiliary of the Republican Party, whereas the movement, especially through the Family, has recognized that you stay in power not by aligning yourself too closely with one faction, but by having lots of friends. So, Hillary Clinton, Senator Mark Pryor of Arkansas, who was, of course, instrumental in fighting against the Employee Free Choice Act, which would have made unionization much, much easier. He explained to me the Family’s approach to Democratic bipartisanship. He said, “Jesus didn’t come to take sides; He came to take over.” That’s a Democrat speaking. So, Republicans and Democrats working together.
Chuck Grassley, a guy who’s been involved for such a long time. Grassley was involved with the Somalia project throughout the 1980s. They recognize that Somalia, of course, is a nation of great strategic importance, right there on the Horn of Africa. So, even as they are pursuing what they say is a religious agenda, it’s also meshing very neatly with a certain kind of agenda of American expansionist power and oil, frankly.

Thousands of EDF soldiers have reportedly been captured by allied forces as fighting erupted in northern Ethiopia less than 48 hours ago. Unconfirmed reports claim PM Abiy Ahmed has fled Ethiopia for an unknown country amid reports of advancing forces toward Addis Ababa.
Daniel Haqiqatjou is not a conservative preacher who got carried away. He is a Qutbist, and he says so himself! In April he told his followers that to understand the Islamic Republic of Iran, they should skip Shia theology and read Sayyid Qutb's Milestones instead.
That matters. Qutb was the Muslim Brotherhood's leading ideologue in the 1950s and 60s.
Milestones, with its claim that Muslim societies had fallen back into jahiliyya, became the bridge from Brotherhood Islamism to modern jihadism. Ayman al-Zawahiri, later the leader of al-Qaeda, openly credited Qutb as the spark.
Haqiqatjou's Qutbism is so uncompromising that he considers the Western Brotherhood milieu too soft and too liberal!
That is also why he is hostile to Saudi Arabia. In the Qutbist project, a sovereign Saudi state serving as Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques is an obstacle. The goal is a caliphate, not nation states!
This month Daniel showed where that leads. While the Houthis were firing on Saudi cities, he posted a picture of the Makkah Clock Tower with a message to Yemen: "Demolish it."
The tower is part of the King Abdulaziz Endowment, a waqf serving the Masjid al-Haram. He deleted the post, then doubled down and called Saudi policy a unique evil in Muslim history. That is not theology. It is cheering on an Iran-backed militia against the Masjid al-Haram!
So I'm grateful that @HothaAli took the time to remind @Haqiqatjou of a simple fact: Mecca is under the sovereignty and custodianship of Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦.
Islamism in all its forms is best countered with facts!
@shakTrey5 Before this cultural Marxist ideology was programmed into you where there must always be a a victim and perpetrator dynamic. Thats why you never question their victimhood linked agendas.
Let the tribe without sins cast the first stone. Abdullahi Yusuf brought Ethiopian yahuuds to shell Mogadishu
Somali govt is locced in with the west.
Somalis retards currently glaze Iran (who did 10 Gazas in Syria. )
@shakTrey5@PH3_Milo You’re a confused kid with a good heart but this isn’t a MLK dynamic.
The founder of SNM Omar Elmi Dihood was an outspoken Protestant Christian.
I’m not the one that aligned with such an evil enemy just to get one up on the “zoomalis” and lose all credibility in the process.
@hitech_lo11131 Keep complaining YOU and I can get onto SL but when a fat gaal slob enters the room and insults a qabil you gonna join in?
Last time I checked Puntland nigs are also SL wannabes (‘ puntland first’ movement)
You’re not fooling anyone by masking your qabil hatred under the flag
@KhairehMohammed@hitech_lo11131 so you a hypocrite then. You wanna do to them what they do.
And answer: Would you insult Somali qabil that you have an issue with, to a gaal foreigner?
