But then, how do we blind ourselves to not only the puppetry of the TFG, their obvious incompetence, but more importantly their un-government-like conduct since setting up camp in Xamar. How can anyone who calls himself a Muslim support the following?
-the murders of un-armed civilians (as noted by human rights groups) on numerous occassions,
.
the ICU alshabab have been using civilians as human shield while shooting at other civilians alongside TFG troops. so who is the real murderer??
FOR EXAMPLE, if an african-american militia started causing havic in washington D.C. streets by shooting at civialians and shooting at POLICE,
do you really think the american government will incriminate the police for defending itself?? 
you need common sense yourself.
the murders are the militia's using innocent people as human shield, the murderers are alshabab

-the inconceivable kiss-ass attitude of TFG "officials" to not only ignore horrific Ethiopian troop actions, but to actually applaud it e.g. the massacre of religious elders at Waxarcade Masjid,
again, look up for the same reason.
the group causing horrific action are
only alshabab....the TFG, the ethiopians and the AU are only
defending themselvesKolombo wrote:
-the up-rooting of over 800,000 civilians in what the U.N. has called "The world's worst humanitarian crisis..." these ousted refugees live in squalor in make-shift camps including women & children who do not have the basic necessities needed for survival.
-the systemic targeting of the religious community; the arrests of clerics, the closure of over 30 Masjids in Xamar including Masjid Ali Suufi & Isbaheysiga.
.
again those who created humanitarian crisis are the alshabab. Look at Baidoa run by TFG.
look at puntland run by TFG ally
both of them did not have the humanitatian crisis like mogadishu because they are governed by responsible people and there is no big alshabab presense.
so whose fault is the crisis?
if it is in the nature of TFG to create crisis, why is there no crisis in baidoa??
the so-called targetting of religious place is propaganda by alshabab. this is the technique of alqeda....even in Iraq alqueda bombed mosques and other religious places to stir anti-america sentiment.
you should ask yourself, if TFG likes to target islamic religious community why is Baidoa and puntland religious community peaceful?? if ethopia likes targeting islamic religious community, why do people say ethopian muslims are getting more powerful culturally, economically etc?? even richest powerful ethiopians are muslims, even the #1 richest ethiopia is muslim.
there are also islamic courts in baidoa, ethiopia and puntland etc.

-the encouraging of warlord militias to run amock by setting up over 55 Isbaarooyin in the city and in this process robbing the residents of their meager posessions as was shown by the British documentary,
-the lootings of Bakara market, Coca Cola plant, SIMAD, Uni of Mog, etc.
.
all western media is influenced by money flow and documentaries need to exaggerate, lie to attract audience. if british documentary talked about how TFG and ethiopia alliance will create moderate islamic governmence, with good human rights and peaceful co-existence in horn of africa, who will watch the documentary??
no one.
anyway, i do realize that there have been some lootings. but there are such problems in many countries around the world, let alone in mogadishu where government officials are targetted by terrorist alshabab everyday, so it is hard to do any work.
in general, the alshabab are the criminals and everyone knows it. if a suicidal militia took over sections of washington dc to overthrow the government using bloodshed and human shields, you have to be STUPID to think the american government will be incriminalized for defending itself
alshabab
TFG
