Sufism VS Takfirism in Somalia. (open discussion)

[XimanJaale]

Since the 20 years civil war in Somalia many militias came about. However for the past 10 years we have been getting religous movement whom are establishing admininstrations and roles into the society of Somalia. We have 2 religious group in Somalia that have physical and political power; the extremist ideologist group (Al-Shabaab) and we have the sufism ideologist group (Ahlu Sunna).

Politics aside, this thread is about comparing these ideologist in a general perspective.

Al-Shabaab control prinicipal towns like Baydhabo, Beled-Weyn and Kismaayo etc, where as Ahlu Sunna control prinicipal towns like Caabudwaaq, Dhuusamareeb, Balanbale etc.

Now lets compare Sufism and Takfirism. (Al-Shabab VS Ahlu Sunna)

We all know that Al-Shabaab have beheaded people, they carried out illegal taxation, they carry out suicide bombings, they enforce people to behave and do certain things. Majority of their members including their footsoldiers wear cimaamad as a facemask, and we know that they do not intergrate with the people they rule. We know that they are strict towards elders and careless towards the young people.

BUT

Ahlu Sunna are completly different. They do not commit inhumane torture, they do not carry out suicide bombings, they are very relaxed towards people and they show respect towards elders and young people. But more importanly they intergrate with the people they rule.

Is Sufism the ways of Somalis, in history Somalis were known to be Sufi's. Our Somali society works better in sufism.

ASWJ is allied with Ethiopia and would welcome an invasion against Somali territory. Manhajkooda iyo hadafkooda oo dhan waa baatil.
