A call for reinforcements in the jihad against "the Abyssinian occupiers and their apostate lackeys." Somalia Jihad Update. "Al-Qaida urges jihadis to go to Somalia," by Shaun Waterman for UPI:
WASHINGTON, March 26 (UPI) -- Al-Qaida has urged Islamic extremists around the world, especially in the information sphere to aid Islamic militias in Somalia.
In a new video released at the weekend by the group's official media arm, the as-Sahab Institute, Abu Yahya al-Libi, a prominent al-Qaida leader called on "my Muslim brothers to stand with their brothers (in Somalia) and go forth to fight at their side."
"All the things which make jihad an individual duty are present in their battle against the Abyssinian occupiers and their apostate lackeys," he said about the situation in Somalia, a reference to the Ethiopian military that in December ousted the Islamic Courts Union, the Islamic militia coalition that had controlled most of the country.
Al-Libi's comments in Arabic were translated in English subtitles by as-Sahab. The material quoted came from a transcript provided by IntelCenter, a private sector consultancy that tracks Islamic web sites for U.S. government agencies.
Al-Libi said the mujahedin, or Muslim holy warriors, should not make distinctions based on the legal or strategic claims of the occupying forces.
"Light a fire and make a volcano erupt under the feet of the invading occupiers regardless of their creed and their cover, and whether they invaded your country on the back of tanks and with the power of iron and fire, as Nazarene Ethiopia did, or came to you under the cloak of international legitimacy, Security Council resolutions, peacekeeping forces, or the African Union," he said.
Al-Libi made what he called "a special request" of the mujahedin "on the information front-line," whose contribution, "incitement to fighting," was, he said, "among the most honorable of devotions and loftiest of acts of obedience."
""incitement to fighting," was, he said, "among the most honorable of devotions and loftiest of acts of obedience."
....I guess this rules out seeking peace and harmony with your neighbors and others of the Non Muslim faiths....
This dramatic agitprop reminds me of their "May Allah shake the ground under their feet" As far as I'm concerned the Ummah can have Somalia. I'm fine with that being part of Dar al Islam
Muslims do not deserve one square inch of any land...They abuse the land they have, and desire to abuse the land you have...
"As far as I'm concerned the Ummah can have Somalia. I'm fine with that being part of Dar al Islam"

As far as you are concerned?? Well, who are you? Quite easy for you to say brotha, sitting in the comfort of your living room wherever it may be. What a silly thing to say perhaps quite arrogant to.
What's next? Can then then have Thailand or the Philippines, after that, are you fine with that? And then, who knows...a place like France or Germany or the Nederlands? Is that ok too?
The Al Qaeda is calling for jihad to come to Somalia and that is something you say you are fine with? Granted there is probably very little you can do about it, but that is a lousy attitude.
A certain poem comes to mind....
When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.
When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.
When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.
When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out
Our Lord God is able to keep Somalia.
Praise God!
Thinkforyourself:
I don't recall uttering this phrase in at least 35 years but...RIGHT ON!
No humans, no matter how wretched, deserve this.

I saw the raging mobs in the movie "Blackhawk Down" What redeeming qualities does Somali have. It's a paradise for Muslim warlords
Yes, let us base our conclusions about a place on a movie. Now THAT is a good idea!!!

Somalia should be freed from the occupation that is raping the land by anyone and any means necessary. Amen
Shut up Abdullah. You are nothing but a phoney troll. What a dumb ass!
