Intention is the most important thing, and if ur fighting for a flag and "ogadenia" and not for Islam fee sabililah then this is dieing for Asabiyyah which is like dieing the death of Jahiliya
Make it up as you go along, saaxib. Are you a member of Al Shabab perchance?Mr. Yungnfresh wrote:Alot of people think that fighting kuffar is jihad...if that was the case, I'd be a mujaahid every year since I was 9 with all the cadaan boys I done whooped. If you're not fighting for the religion, then ur fight ain't a jihad even if ur fighting an oppressor who happens to be gaal.

These organization fight politically to get their lands free in order to rule it with shariah. This is considered a jihad, and they are jihadist!!! Onlf are jihadi fighters fighting against christian rule, they want to gain separate nation so they can rule it with a shariah based constitution!!!!
The sheikh was right when he said they are jihadist, he made a correct fatwa ruling!!! I don't like the cagdheer but the fact is they are fighting a holy-war!!! I don't necessarily agree with the way they are going about it, however it is their choice to do what they see as fit!!!
