Silly rabbit tricks are for hookers.. and why should I listen to you Mr. "I hate all women" faglet!

General discussion is where you can discuss Somali related topics that has nothing to do with Al Shabaab and the names of their members. I'm sorry if I've touched a raw nerve.

These are active 'cause Al-Shabaab are popular and most Somalis like them. I dunno what's taking you this long to join Al-Shabaab's fans. You're missing a lot.

Maybe you should re-read the threads, I said top 5. I did not mention anywhere that they're liked by many nor hated by any. If you double check, half of these threads are for them and half are against them.

Grandpa, that's all I'm sayin.

The half who are against them, they pretend it, just so to stay safe. You were compelled to post this topic 'cause you're jealous of Al-Shabaab's popularity. Admit it.

Sexy-Kitchen, why dont you go to facebook, myspace, blackplanet or twitter .....

Finally someone with brain cells that actually work. SNET has been hijacked by people who sympathize with Al Shabab and further its agenda. The gradual radicalization of many members is plain to see. Every-thing in the book has been done. Members have been called "kafir and non-Muslim," people who speak up against Al Shabab have been called " followers of the infidel" by someone like Somalian-Boqor who is himself enrolled in an American Flight School.

Right now, all that remains is for Al Shabab/Al Qaida supporters on SNET to post exclusive videos showing beheadings and other violent acts. And I am not sure, if that is enough for the Admins and Moderators to finally do something about these Al Shabab sympathizers.

twisted

i do not think sexy kitten is talking about whether one is al shabaab sympothyser or not or is anti al shabaab.
the point to which the post is putting across is that since al shabaab is a political/religious organisation it should be discussed in the relevent forums i.e. politics and religions forums. YOU ARE JUST ADDING FUEL TO THE FIRE.

sexy kitten - correct me if am wrong

Such videos are posted almost everywhere, including CNN, FOX News, YouTube, etc. So, I don't get what you're implying, and why you make it a criminal activity to post such videos on SNET. You aren't making a sense here.

I think this site is far too political at times.

@Al Shabaab being popular.

@Al Shabaab being popular.

Well, for many who live in the West, it isn't safe for them to show their admiration for Al-Shabaab. If they do, they would lose many benefits. However, they can openly show the maximum admiration for the TFG, and no harm will come to them.

The forum is no longer familiar to old timers or is reflective of how it used to be "back in the day" because the demographics of its contributors has changed. It is not longer primarily populated by civil war babies but post-civil war babies.

Civil war babies were trying to forget Somalia and its politics and images and flashbacks of the civil war they clearly remembered and part of ignoring it was a way of acting out against it. They were also new to Western culture and were trying to be familiar with it. Concentrating on deviant sub-sections of Western culture which have foundation in "pop culture" was a way of undergoing that forced, although voluntary, acculturation.

Now on the other hand post-civil war babies are too young to remember or have never even saw the civil war. Somalia to them is the "other". As a result, this demographic has a huge interest in the land of their parents and the interest is enhanced by transnational issues that seem to have followed them from that far country in East Africa, primarily in the form of repercussions and/or fallout of a global security/terrorist related nature particularly following the 2006 political-Islamic resurgence in the nation. They also have grown up in Western societies meaning Western culture is their "primary culture" and not "adopted culture". They do not need to force themselves on flimsy issues which the civil war babies forced on themselves in order to acculturate to what they perceived is Western culture.

To test this theory we would have to look at the make-up of the contributors themselves. Most of these topics pining for the good ole days in the forum are almost always written by civil war babies, or people who can remember the civil war, such as yourself and elders such as Sir Lugooyo and etc. In that era the general forum was the home of a group of a handful of seniors of the forum and the post-civil war babies were ghettoized or segregated into the sub-sections designed for their particular host nations. The U.K section was the home of the U.K/European post-civil war babies, and "School talk" was the home of the North American post-civil-war babies. Nowadays this segregation has ceased to exist. Participation in the general forum has become a conglomeration of all the post-civil war babies and as a result ghettoized sections such as "U.K sections" have become obsolete.

The collective interest of the post-civil war babies has risen with their surgence and political discussions and attempts to unravel the mysteries surrounding the "other" (Somalia) is a consequence of the post-civil war baby dominance of the forum.
