You dont seem to be answering questions, but I will ask:
We have Sharia Law to follow. And we will follow it and you know that, so why bother yourself?
And You know if you are somehow related to muslims that sodomy is sin in Islam. Are you trying to divert us from Islam??
What are your intentions??
@Caliqas
i respect you so ill answer this as nicely as possible
1) a muslim in the west, who is from a country that doesn't follow sharia law.....is he any less muslim? why do you feel the need to impose islam on everyone?
2) yes offcourse it is haram...but how does it affect you? if i told you i was a lesbian....how does it make it sinful for you? a kafir is a kafir....you are not sinning by being tolerant...you don't have to like or hate them...but you shouldn't kill or make there lives miserable just because your religion doesn't allow it.....(not saying that you do that but you get my point)
3) my intentions are pure...i just want somalis that have the kind of mentality you and mail man have to understand that women can and should have every right to have all the opportunities a man has (unless it contradicts her religion)
correct me if I'm wrong but isn't being a muslim or a religious person in general about going on a spiratual jouney and being closer to god? its an individual thing...if you want to follow islam, christianity, buhddism whatever , but you shouldn't impose your views on others...were all human and we all have a right to live in peace and love on another regardless of race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, qabil ...whatever...
You spoke honestly, I respect that:
Before I answer your questions and offer my opinions:
muslim communities can have either one of two relationship with non-muslim communities or as I would call (Gaalo).
They are either at war or with peace. I am not explain the former, but the latter is okay. Muslims and Non-muslims can have peaceful agreements, but breaking them could be catastrophic.
Back to your questions:
1) Somalia for instance it is illegal to pass a law that contradicts Sharia. So can you call Somalia a country that do not follow Sharia Law?
Suppose they do not follow it, in Islam a person will not be accounted a matter he can not do anything about, unless he supports it. But nevertheless those with the voices should disapprove it.
Every muslim is wakiil(Agent) for the prophet, if you know 1 verse of the quran preach it. All he/she has to do as individual is preach. Doing something as an ummah, i.e. waging wars is entirely something else, these kind of decisions is those a governmental level.
2) It effects me because (refering to #1), I have to tell and say out loud that this act is haram and we should not accept it as an ummah.
In the West, there is nothing but to tell muslims this is haram and discourage it.
But In Somalia things are different because we rule it unlike the west. So we can stop it by using our governmental and social powers. In this case, discouraging it is not enough because we can do more.
N.B There is no tolerance in this case.
3) In Islam women are protected unlike men. All these things you are calling for "freedom and rights", you are trying to corrupt our women like the western women. Our women are protected from men, from prostitution from every thing and all you want is them to loose that protection, being prostitues for men, display their body for men et.
For imposing Islam on others, first things first, imposing it on fellow muslims is regulation and policing(on different levels, i.e, governmental and individual as remembering them to fear God.).
And for non-muslims (As I said; every muslim is an agent of the Prophet) spread the word of Allah to them. It is telling and explaining them what Islam is (The opposite thing of what Western Media is doing).
This is how we, muslims, see what we are doing. If I am wrong, my fellow muslims can guide me to what is right.
