Crack open a book you moron, f-king use google if you're incapable. I cant believe this moron has the cheek to argue that Somali's were incapable of trade or infrastructure prior to the Italians;

Ruins of the Adal Sultanate, which ruled most of the Horn :!:
Seriously, wtf is this middle-aged, illiterate Italian still doing on this forum?

That’s not where adal sultanate used to rule from that’s A mosque an ancient mosque which was build in the 7th century its called masjid qablataini the Qibla looks towards both Jerusalem and mecca. It was build when the Islamic ashaaba Came to ardu al habash. Jacfar ibn abu thalib and his delegation to the Emperor of Axum Negashi.

Volt

I know. But again, I didnt say they couldn't build anything. Im talking modern engineering and building. But its when you have TOTAL assholes like ganjahead saying I think Somalis were dancing around a kettle of boiling human in grass hula skirts. Gimme a fockin break here! :lol:


Loooool did you just say "Fellate me" to Mad May? :lol:

Have you read any of the history books or do you want to speak without knowledge...he described an infrastructure, trade etc..you asked me for pictures, I led you to a source predating photography, when you read it, come back and discuss it like a rational human being. And as for me changing...you dont know me, I joined here as a child and never discussed politics and history, when I was a teenager, I was at your level...now I have surpassed you intellectually...I can see why that would hurt you and cause you to call me hysterical.

Emperor...walaal I just dont want kids or people who dont know about the subject reading his crap and taking it at face value...He genuinely believes that we had nothing before colonialism...There are so many texts refuting that in the entire of Africa, yet the man is allergic to texts which involve the use of polysyllables so how can I get my point across?

OMG!!! "Surpassed me intellectually" :lol: Im speechless. But if guess pre-20th century Africa is your idea of "modern infrastructure" far be it from me to rtry and convince you otherwise. Oh, and yes, I did. :mrgreen: :lol: Besides, I had no need to. Voltage articulated my points FARR better than I could.

Yes...I definitely have surpassed you intellectually...speaking in such terms to a teenager in the middle of a debate is the height of intellectual expression according to you.

I told you that Somalis were capable of trade and infrastructure before colonialism...You asked for proof..I gave you evidence...you refused to read the texts. And then you come back with the most preposterous observation. Ofcourse anything from the 20th Century isnt going to look like something from the 12th C...centuries have passed and new methods have been developed. What is your point exactly? I know mine...that Somalis were capable then, and beyond this war will be capable of rebuilding the cities they have lost. Civil war is not a phenomena specific to Somalis, history and infrastructure are not specific to Europe...do you disagree with any of that?

For the 21 or so people who said yes your visions are short term, I would have a thousand years of anarchy before any form of colonization.
It's better to die on your feet than live on your knees.
I can't believe in this day and age there are actual Africans let alone Somalis who are for colonization of their own country. :lol:

I just know I agree with the FACTS! as laid out by Voltage. Shoot the messenger all ya want, it don't change the message. OR the fact that Somalia had, and has not seen since the Italian presence, architecture or infrastructure as introduced by the Italians. Sorry, just a fact. No where in my posts do I recall saying Somali's were incapable of constructing an inhabitable structure.

Your only reference to back up your arguments is another forum poster? And now you deny you asked me for proof that Somalia was capable of structures and trade which pre dates colonialism...even though its only two or so pages away? Im out...I can see now that I was clearly wasting my time. Youre displaying the attributes of a forum troll and not a serious debater :- you are officially on blocked list.
