Wallahi I was at work scrolling down the pics and was suppressing a laugh right until I got to this photo, and I couldn't hold it anymore. My coworkers asked Me what I was laughing at. These Guys photos are just so funny, I remember the one where they were riding some sort of donkey car/motarcycle, then the masked doctors and now this? LMFAO. Seriously I wanna know what this particular pose is

I guess a group that wishes to live in the past will adopt any activity the sahaaba used to part take in.

Can someone varify and shows use some hadiths regarding sports and public acivities?

Cirwaaq,

According to Paidmonk this is some sort of Hawiye past time. Please explain

[Monk-of-Mogadishu]

These sports games have nothing to do with Al-Shabaab per se, I know the Abgaal and their neighboring clans used to have these weird sports events during A/Yusuf's days.

I was 3 when i left Xamar i have no memory of every seeing anything like that.

It is a shabab event.

I'm surprised that al shabaab women are allowed to attend sports events.

They makeup the rules as they go...

Even their sports events have an element of violence. I can't decide if half the pictures were about sword play with stick, jousting without horse, or hit the pinata.

[Monk-of-Mogadishu]

oh I get it!

Its like an olympic event. There is a goal post in the off-center. 1 game has contestants trying to shoot a bow through it. Another event has them blindfolded and given a guide stick and they have to find their way through the post.

I think, at least I hope.
