Somali Road Trip into Islamist Heartland - BBC

Assalaamu Alaykum brothers and sisters,

Here is a story from the BBC showing the peace and security brought by the Muslims of ash-Shabab to the troubled nation of Somalia.

Somali Road Trip into Islamist Heartland - BBC

In the past I have heard every few miles of road was controlled by a different Clan militia or group of bandits, all demanding cash to let goods and people past, raping the women and killing men when they couldn't or wouldn't pay.

This report shows that although some roadblocks remain, only the Government forces take money from the people, that Ash-Shabaab and the other Islamic forces in Somalia do not rob the people, but instead look after them and their needs, giving security and peace to this troubled nation.

May Allah swt reward these sincere brothers for their efforts, forgive them any mistakes they make and grant them a swift victory over the Kuffar and apostate forces, ameen.

Soon Inshallah the whole of Somalia, not just the south will be open for those of us determined to make Hijrah with the Muslims there actively asking for people to come and make Hijrah there and help them establish Islam as a full system, as it is meant to be lived.

Assalaamu Alaykum,
Abu Abdillah

The 'benefit' of Somalia's Pirates - Channel 4 News

The increasing levels of piracy off the coast of Somalia have caused an unexpected spin-off, raising the levels of fish in the sea.

Fisherman in Kenya have reported bumper catches of shark and shellfish because commercial fishing boats from China and Japan have been scared away.

Now the fishermen are able to catch up to £200 worth of fish per day in an area where the average daily earnings are less than £5.

The massive factory trawlers which used to drain their fish stocks have been scared away and that means there is a huge bounty for local fishermen as well as helping to restore the health of the marine eco-system.

Somalia...

Assalaamu alaykum,

the head of Ash-Shabaab (the youth), an Islamist group which now controls most of the south of Somalia has announced that ALL Muslims around the world are citizens of Somalia and anyone is free to go there and settle, if they choose joining in the efforts to establish the Shariah of Allah.

Here is a link to the story from Al-Jazeera news,

They have even said, unlike the more nationalistic clan loving Somalis, that they will marry their daughters to any brothers who come and share their wealth until people are established themselves and other than when the Taliban controlled Afghanistan, I have never heard of such generous help being offered to those wishing to make Hijrah.

On the down side, this is a country at war, which is likely to continue for several years to come so perhaps not the best destination for those brother with families, and there is no national infrastructure, i.e little hospitals or doctors, no currency, nothing really at all we would recognise as part of the modern world but perhaps that is a strength also but beware there is a serious famine in Somalia as well.

Assalaamu Alaykum,
Abu Abdillah
