Isaaq: An online encyclopedia reference to where they live and what subclans they have.

Darood: I found an Islamic website called www.darood.com and they define darood as: Darood means a prayer, a request made by a muslim dovotee to Allah the Al-mighty to send peace and blessings on his Prophet Mohammed Salaallahu Alaihi was sallam.
For Arabic speakers really? I thought it was du'caa or salaah?
Hawiye: For a Hawiye I found another interesting piece from Togane called a Hawiye in Hawaii, where he incidentally defined the word Hawiye as Hell in Arabic
;Every time I type the word Hawiye, my computer talks back to me, telling me:
"I have never heard of such an animal.
What the hell is Hawiye?
Is that flesh, fish or fowl?
Sir, you must be confused; you must mean Hawaii!!!"
I would laugh and say to myself:
You are right; I wish I have never heard of Hawiye Naa-red either! All in all, I would rather be in Hawaii than with the Hawiye in their Hawiyeland where the Hawiye had shot dead my brother, Abdirahman Siad Togane; where again the Hawiye shot up my other brother Hassan Siad Togane twice riddling up his body with 18 bullet holes, leaving him for dead; where again the Hawiye almost shot me dead four time in 1992 in my futile effort at attempting to make peace between our Hawiye fool called Ali Mahdi who turned Somalia into a nuclear garbage dump and our bald bedlamite Hawiye Gar-diid-Illah-diid Ai-diid aptly dubbed General Wow by Somali wags.
That is why I had decided to vacation in Hawaii rather than with my own Hawiye in Hawiyeland;
that is why I had decided to spend the whole month of February on the island of Oahu in Hawaii
lolling on the beach and soaking up the sun until I became
as black as my grandfather
whose nickname was Dhuhulow:
as black as charcoal or coal black!
I am glad I had gone to Hawaii in search of fun under the sun and swim in the sea;
I am glad I had gone in a mad dash just to get away from cold clannish Canada,
Kipling’s “our Lady of the Snows†during the whole month of February,
the month of choice for suicides in Canada:
I testify that them cold dark winter February blues and blahs can get you down in the dumps
unless you have the faith and the courage of Albert Camus who bore witness thus:
“In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summerâ€Â
to combat any bleak black despair in my lonesome bitter exile from my kingdom by the sea.
So I am glad I got away from everything cold and clannish and Canadian and cantankerous
for the whole month of suicide February!
So imaging the irony of a Somali
from the smiling blue skies of sunny Somalia
and a former Sheikh of the Indian Ocean
flying for 13 hours
from Montreal to Waikiki Honolulu
in search of the sun and the sound of the soothing surf of the Pacific!
Notice that I had written a Somali and not a Hawiye
because now not even a Hawiye is safe today in Mogadishu
where I was born and into which the Hawiye had now turned into a hell called ironically
"Hawiyah: [Arabic: the Abyss. The seventh division of Hell set aside for hypocrites: Hawiye and otherwise. According to The Glorious Koran (Sura 15: 40), Hell “hath seven gates; unto every gate a distinct company of them shall be assigned.†See under Hell in See Rev. E. Cobham Brewer. A Dictionary of Phrase and Fable. London: Cassell and Company, Ltd; no date of publication given.â€Â]
Now wonder now our President Ina Yay and our Prime Minister Ina Ghedi
are skittish about setting foot in hellish Hawiyah Mogadishu.
Who can blame them?
Who wants to go willingly to a hell called Hawiyah?.......

Yeah I'm racists, I don't know about the worst tho, I think I would have some competition there.
