Should Muslims Appease Gaalos?

nambarA · Post by **nambarA** » Thu Nov 06, 2008 11:16 pm

Gaalos are unhappy with many parts of Islam. For example, they are unhappy with stoning an adulterer, flogging a fornicator, chopping off the hand of a thief, chopping off the head of a rapist, etc. They consider those punishments 'barbaric', unfit for this advanced and modern era. They are also unhappy with polygamy, hijab, etc. As we know, gaalos 'help' Muslims. For instance, a generation of Muslims grew up from childhood to adulthood with welfare, generous money from gaalos. Also, gaalo aid workers help Muslims in wartorn countries. So, to show gratitude and thank gaalos for all their 'help' and kindness, should Muslims abandon what gaalos consider 'barbaric' and 'backward' about Islam?

You don't support Al-Shabaab. You accuse them of 'extremism', 'fundamentalism', 'Talibanism', 'Wahhabism', etc. Now, isn't that true?

nambara, what kind of muslim are you? a sufi?

be careful lying when it comes to the deen....very serious matter.

F*ck what they think.

Those who try hard to appease just get shunned more.

We have our diin, lets follow it

Hell no. I see the same somalis that try to appease the gaalo call arabs naago and I just shake my head in amazement wallahi. It is exactly that same reason of appeasing gaalos that made the arabs so fockin weak today.

Arabman, why change your nickname so frequently?

I must say that this was dumb statement by Arabman's standards, Are you saying we should leave Sharia Law to make a Gaal happy ?

For different reasons. For example, I had my last one AbuShabab to defend Al-Shabaab who were being attacked from all sides. I have my current one 'cause it resembles my original one plus the district where I used to live in Xamar.

Where's Shilling and others (i.e. the moderates, progressives, middle-grounders) who advocate for appeasing gaalos? Why are they afraid to cast their vote?

Let's define "appease", shall we?

Would it have been "appeasment" of gaalos to have respected the Banadir Culama enough
to have left Shaykh Aweys in his tomb in Baraawe?

Would it have been "appeasement" of gaalos to have punished the rapists of Aisha Ibrahim Duhulow, instead of murdering her in an "honor killing".

Is it "appeasement" of gaalos that has lead to the divisions of every branch of the ICU calling every other branch munafiiq and murtad?

It seems to me that calling this stuff "Shariica" is not haq.

I'm wondering the same thing.

First of all. Sh. Aweys is buried in Biyooleey and not in Baraawe. Secondly, the removal of graves from inside Masjids in Baraawe & Marka was the right thing to do, because it is forbidden to bury anyone inside a Masjid. And it is forbidden to pray in the vicinity of graves/graveyard.

I fail to see what your point is?

I beg your pardon. It seems the report I was relying on is not true. I do suggest , however, that you read this post by Entrepreneur:

There is clear disagreement among Muslims on the subject of graves. I fail to see why Takfiiris should take precedance over Suufiis.

"Secondly, the removal of graves from inside Masjids in Baraawe & Marka was the right thing to do, because it is forbidden to bury anyone inside a Masjid. "

So the report is at least partially correct. They did remove saints from the mosques in Merka and Baraawe?
