Grumpy is you fam in Burco are Salafi?
I heard people there & Caynabo are either Salafi or Ikhwaan.

Though for real, Saudis are scum of the earth, we shouldn't mingle with those people.

My family back home don't follow any particular sect. Anyway you shouldn't let the bad reputation of Saudis dissuade you from researching the salafi manhaj. If you do, you'll find that it isn't what a lot of people say it is, I strongly believe they have the most authentic methodology of following the Quran and the prophetic traditions (Sunnah). Non-Muslims know this also they try to attribute all sorts of problems to it (extremism, intolerance, jihadism and hate). These issues stem from ignorance and are normally found in with the Khawaarij, the same people that the prophet ( عليه الصلاة والسلام ) warned us about. I advise you to make your own judgements after studying Islam for yourself nstead of believing what the media tells you.

If you truly believe in Wahabism and hold it to be true then you've fallen victim for the Saudi propaganda machine. Salafism/ Wahabism is a cancerous tumor of an ideology with very little to offer the world outwith hate, violence and fundamentalism. Look around you mate and see the damage it has dealt countries like Pakistan, Afghanistan, Dagestan and lets not even begin with Al Shabab in Somalia.

Somalis have been Muslim for over a thousand years, its funny because it may well be that the ancestor of the Awqaaf minister embraced Islam before the ancestor of the fat Arab Wahabi preacher in the youtube link. Thus its a little insulting for these Saudis to turn up waving wads of cash to open a school, not to teach the sciences or graduate engineers that build dams to store water or doctors with life-saving skills. No, they open yet another school that teaches you the 'true' deen because Somalilanders urgently need this.


The dangers of Wahabism are real, make no mistake about it, you would not name a single country or group that follow this ideology and manage to live a non violent, modern life that befits the 21st century. Unless we do something soon they will buy their way into every home in the horn.

Aslan Maskhadov, the former Chechnyan president knew what was up, he said in response to the surge of Salafist educated Sheekhs returning from Wahabi HQ university in question: "We are Nakshband and Kadari and Sunnites, and there is no place for any other Islamic sect in Chechnya. "

I say we are Qaadiriyah, Idriisiyah, and Saalixiyah, and there is no place for any other Islamic sect in Somaliland.

We are concern about the Wahabi rise in Burao. Unless we deal with them right now, I am afraid we will have another mini-Sham State in our backyard.

Not sure why regional powers are not pressuring the Kulmiye Gov to deal with these Saudi extremists who are openly building training camps under the cover of 'university'.

Very dangerous idea. I know Burao always had soft spot for radicals and that's why last time they stoned Mohamed BK's entourage.

We may have another Galgala in the making, a very secretive and stealth one. We know that Al Itihad Al Islamiya group was found in Burao before they made their way south.

We also know there is huge al Shabab financial backers in Burao. We ignored them far too long and pretended that they do not exist. Behind the shadows lays huge pro-extremist groups in Burao. Probably the most dangerous place in SL. More dangerous than Las Anod.

I am very familiar with the Wahabi/Salafi movement and how ever since the fall of Siad Barre they were trying to take over SL often by buying up destroyed buildings and renovate them as 'new Quranic classes' or madarasa. SL is waiting to blow up at any time and regional intervene maybe necessary unless SL can clean them up.

Absolutely there should not be a single Saudi sympathy school in the Horn if the Horn is to ever see peace.

[CigaalSHiiDaaDCFC]

masha allah, i am for building any school be it madarasa or otherwise ps i amnt as paranoid as some of u guys nd i dont think who ever goes to their madarasa becomes extremist.

That is exactly what I have been trying to tell them.
Seeing is believing. I had negative thoughts about Salafis, before I started practicing.
Salafia just promotes at-tawxeed. And anyone that is against Salafia, is against at-tawxeed (the oneness of allah).
Honestly Ben & Hawd should do proper research, instead of listening to the media.

We need something like alazhar where they teach from the 4 madhabs and the 3 aqeedahs of ahlu sunna, what people learned for nearly 1000 years.
but this is a Wahabi indoctrination camp,
they already won over the majority of Somalis..

and i am puzzeled by this
why do so many people talk about sufism and wahabis/salafis ?

where does sufism come into this?

It always been about ahlu sunna wa al jamaca who believe in the 3 aqeedahs, Ashcariya, Maturidi and Athari
and the 4 madhabs of fiqh Maliki, Hanafi, Shafici and Hanbali


versus every body else, including the shiica

but do to ignorance
allot of somalis are talking about ridiculous things like sufi islam..

sufism or ihsan is complimentary to the 3 aqeedahs and the 4 madhabs not a seperate sect.

This ignorance helps the wahabis/salafis in their agenda

There is no such thing as Wahabism, it's just a myth. I suggest you learn about Salafism instead of relying on what others say about it. Extremists/Terrorists are Khawaarij not Salafis and most of them don't even know about the basics of Islam. Sufism is also a part of Islam, otherwise know as 'تصوف' unfortunately it has been corrupted over the centuries as people started adding unislamic practices to it.

oh yes there is wahabism it is the teachings of abdulwahab a minor mullah with extreme ideas,
back then the majority of the ummah thought he was an extremist psycho, but today perfectly normal and those who used to be the majority
seen as not islamic enough.

Thanks precisely to schools like this built by the saudis, and flooding the world with printed material..
more than 90% of all islamic books and publications around the world have some saudi involvement,
and most people do not bother to read material given to them as charity, they accept it.
The only place where there is some resistance is online, but even online you have a deluge of salafism ..

even i was almost seduced, i was subconsciously moving towards salafism due to the 90% of islamic books available, and the massive internet campaigns , i didnt follow a madhab and questioned the neccessity of madhabs, and i unconsciously took the positions of the religous people in my family as well.
The reason why i neither a "salafist" nor a secular today, but deeply religous and getting even more religous day by day is because of my curiousity, i wanted to know more, understand more.
The problem i faced was that every single salafi wadaad i met was an idiot, barley functioning intellectually, the capacity to think was severely stunted.. I thought that's strange nobody can be that stupid.
I met non salafi wadaads and culema as well, but even those of limited knowledge were humble and dignified,
if they did not know a subject they said so, and even if they were experts they said they were not certain alahu aclam.

It seems salafi wadaads are mass produced in schools like this, with little quality,
no ability to think, i find that dangerous for the muslim world..
We are extremly weak, divided , we need to think of our way out of our predicament.

They should be able to explain why, and how they came about this thinking, the whole process and examine it from different directions.
but instead they will tell you " the scholars said so"

who are these scholars i wonder?

[theyuusuf143]

I don't believe in Sunni walaa shiica because non of them exists before Mohammed's death scw. the biggest difference between Sunni and shiico is political history. when Mohammed died the some muslims suggested that his offspring or those who he shared with blood should lead the Muslim ummah.most Muslims supported that any one can succeed Mohammed. that was the beginning of shia and sunni sects. Ironically most sunni countries are ruled by family kings, the same thing they rejected when prophet Mohammed died scw. If you believe the 5 pillars of Islam and 6 pillars of iman you Are Islam period. I don't give a shit of any sect.

[JamalAddow]

Togdheer was already the home of Al-Itixaad and then Isaaq in turn became the mother of Al-Shabaab.

Now if this university is built, the whole country including the South will be Salafised. We'll forget about our Shafici ways and start doing stuff according to the DIY fiqh aka Salafi fiqh aka I can eat anything in an ahlul kitaab country fiqh like the kids in Europe.

Anyways I think its too late for Shaficism in Somalia, even the Suufis follow Salafi fiqh.

[TheFuturist]

Oh dear. God help us. But maybe more religious education is what we need, who knows.

[X.Playa]

R.I.P Burco , this a day of mourning , the day the Wahaabi mullah's brought their Trojan horse as a present. The blind will never see. But what this so called college will produce is obvious an entire army of foaming Mullah's each year.
