    salaamu calykum, Marka hore in Prof. Samatar uu videogan oo aan dhameystirneyn magaca looga haleyo ma aha. Tan labaad realitiga ayuu ka hadley, somaali hadaan nahay ma isku duubnin. Hadey noqoto waxbarashada, businesska, caafimaadka and religion. Waan tusaale ku soo qaatey ajnabiga sideey nooga faa ideystaan xaga businesska(mallka Karamel,african village). Prof. Samatar waxaan dhihi lahaa in UU solution keeno markasta waxuu kahadlaa Dhibaatada somaalida.

    Saallamu Alyakum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatu to all brothers and sisters.

    i am what the somali people in uk call fish and chips (lolz) because my somali writing skills are not good enough for me to write this in my mother tongue…anyway i just wanted to point my people to something that is easy to understand…because its the pure truth…which we can benefit from.

    In the name of Allah, The Most Kind The Most Mercifull.

    1. By Al-Asr (the time).
    2. Verily! Man is in loss,
    3. Except those who believe and do righteous good deeds, and recommend one another to the truth and recommend one another to patience.

    …Verily Allah has Spoken the Truth…so my brothers and sisters if we follow this simple truth we would be living in a world or a land that we would never want to leave…WHO IS THERE THAT CAB DENY THAT?…even an un-believer (kufaar) will testify to its truthfullness.

    may Allah, The Owner and Sustainer of existence, guide us to all that is good in this life so that we may be successful in the hearafter too.

    Your bretheren in Islaam.

    this guy is clearly a dick…i know Majertaine people have let their morals slip over the past few decades from eating too much fish…but what i am most concerned about is the morons who take this garabage at face value…and the morons who open such a topic open for debate…and the morons who comment on this and the morons who didnt boo him and the stupid hawiye morons who destroyed my country…they are all dicks…

    Ahmed is totally wrong to use this description. Quran is not bloody business but creates peace, stability and mercy to the humanity. If somebody uses the Quran wrongly, one doesnot have to blame the Quran but blame the user. Quran is clean from any comdemnation and anyone who tries will get bad consequences both in the world life and hereafter.

    Prof. Ahmed should return to Allah (Tawba) and ask forgiveness to the Merciful Allah.

    I believe this guy wants to tell us how the Quran can be misused. And if a nation on this earth are misunsing the Quran is the somali people. Every body want to judge and rule -using the Quran.

    Thats is what his point is. Today Somalis consider them selves the most religious people on earth, how ever if you see what is going on on Somalia and between the somalis, it is shocking and disgracing. Yes I agree that the Quran became an instrument that alot of people use as they want- no doubt about it. His mistake is: he said it an odd way. Even Farhiyo who is defending the Quran is practising injustice calling her self as a good muslim and insulting a whole tribe with her mouth!! And again every topic should be discussed, nobody has the right to shut other peoples mouth using the quran as an instrument

    before you critecise some bodys opinion you have to think twice. the word bloody goes to how quran is used now days not the quran itself.its some how true the way our generation is interpreting quran is alarming.look what is happening in somalia.its good example the meaning of “bloody bussines”.By the Samatar is secular.I hope you all now what secular means.

    Waa profesoor wax bartay laakiin wxbarashadiisa waa hal bacaad lagu lisay waayo waxaa qalbigiisa ka buuxa xumaan iyo Soomaali nacayb oo cid kasta waxbuu ka sheegaa.

    Hadaa dhagaysato khudbadihiisoo dhan waa wada nacayb. hada kahor wuxuu meel ka sheegay and i quote ” Aniga Soomaaliya rajo kama qabo oo America ayaan qabrigayga ka gatay…Soomaaliya waa ay u dhamaatay”.
    Waaryee hadaadan Soomaaliya rabin ama aadan jeclaysan waxba xafladahayaga ha imaan oo hana soo raadsan oo hanna soo doonan ee meeshaada joog.

    Ahamed is really a true hero. I know many Somali people wouldn’t understand him, because of his intellectual points and ideas. He told the truth and I know my Somali people because I am one, we hate the truth and always like to hide what is real. I believe he is more Muslim then tose who are critising him.

    Thank you all.

    Comment: I think the professor is trying to make a point and those who are critizizing him miss undrestood the way he used the word ”bloody” I beleive that he didn’t mean the Quran it self is bloods but he wants to explain some thing. folks remember there are people out there killing innocent women and children in the name of god while reading the Quran to gain politicle and financial future.
    I suggest you should apologize to the old man and give him some respect as a somali intelactual. I will also advise those who are using tribal names in such places to refrain and use better words. My god bless the professor!!
    Thanks you all.

    I think is very irresponsible of the professor specially as an intellect and a Muslim man it’s never appropriate to criticise the holy Quran, the blame is always with Somali people and how we understand the Quran. As Somalis we are a prime example of how we blindly follow misguided moron’s so called “leaders” whether they call themselves religious leaders or clan. It seems to me every group have their turn to devour the Somali people and now it’s the turn of so called “Wadado” to finish the job.
    Wake up people i just wish that Muslims and Somalis all over the world would see the true picture of what is going on. Can you not see that is the work of America and its allies to try to tarnish our religion, to make us look like a bunch bloody thirsty hounds with no morals or consciousness. Look at what happening in Somalia, they have us killing each other, doing the job for them so that they would not even have to waste bullets on us instead trigger happy Kabo Qolof “sheikh” is more than happy to do the dirty job…leaving The Zionist to chill out at the White House saying “here is a buck you crazy camel jockey shabaab go buy yourself new sandals and a Jeep.

    Assalamu’aleykum warahmatullahi wabarakatu

    I agree with what most people have written, and disagree with te comments of the professor. As someone stated above, ..yes, people are misunderstanding what he meant by ‘bloody Quran”. When someone is in a position of influence…. you must choose your words wisely, if we Somali’s are disagreeing among ourselves as such, what do you think the world thinks of when they here of Somali’s gone wrong. Just like the media blames Muslims for everything, doesnt mean we blame the religion.. we blame the people who were wrong even if they are Muslims, just like the prophet(saw) used to do so. Command the good and forbid the evil! Wake up and realize the division among us is getting STRONGER and WIDER!!!! Professor Ahmed, may Allah guide us all to the truth and speak of the positive with suggestions to improve on the negative… not always point out the negative and leaving it at that!!!

    Ps. Proud of the Somali woman who spoke her mind in the vidoe :)

    This man is a complete ass! he is everything that’s wrong with Africa, a West worshipping fool who thinks he can speak for the majority just because he pocesses a few letters after his name.
    if im right in quoting him this doche bag said, ” all good somalis are dead somalis”. who and what has he ever done for Somalia? he lives a comfortable, very middle class life in the west. we have a word for ppl like him in anthroplogy “armchair anthropologist” ie, one who sits in his library and seeks to write about a people he has never met or places he has never been based on assumption. in my opinion this man is nothing but an arm chair political analyst.
    I have no idea why anyone would give this fool a platform to spread his venom.
    my advice to him, “curse not the darkness in the world, seek to be the light”.

    This old man is totaly on crack because he thinks if he talks crap about the Qur’an,AMERICA won’t consider him as a terrorist.The religion of Islam is peace,not bloody conflict. I think the only reason he said all this stuff was because he had no other speech to give except talk false about the Qur’an.He was just escaped the mental hospital which means he was not stable while he was talking.
    THANKS TO WHO EVER IS AGAINST THIS HYPOCRATE!!!!!!!!!!

    I think the prefesor meant what he said “The quran has became bloody business.”

    that statement tells us even if he he is a muslim that there some desease in his heart.

    you don’t say the Quran is business at all or wors bloody business, if you are muslim. Quran is Kalamu Allah. it is law. it is healing. it is guidence. It is mercy and so on, but to say it is bloody buniness is to speak ignoranly of it.

    The prefesonr knows what he is doing and saying.

    ASalaamu alaykum,Brothers and sisters!

    I would love if the prof would have chosen different wording,unless this was the case for the planed speach.Yes the somalis has lost many things through the years and somalia is now struggling for its existense as a country and people. But men of this level should anderstand that ,instead of just insulting the nation all the time ,should think little bit who are the rulers and runs most what happens in the so called third world countries-who!! I am sure the prof. knows this and never rised that thing to my people .

    These hidden societies with their hidden agenda are the main culprits ,who sets division among peoples and then cotrol them,towards the creation of the world goverment.With due respect of what the prof says, we should give some head to what is going in this world and not only hasten to demoralise the already tired people of the mental and physical teror from every where including those who eliminates medical personalities and higher education institutions and then claims that they destroyed the enemy.

    This world run by a group of wealthy corporations who have the grip of most leaders of the countries including US ,do not believe that Obama or the congress or any other part of the goverment have the final word how to run the countruy or world affairs – the prof knows that,and i hoped that we must first understand the main soursce of our eternal proplems and then shed a light on these areas.unity would not come by dividing the people and calling them names,but i would rather call them towards the the unity i see on the horizons .
    MY tiny country is helpless and no one cares about this .My beloved country engulfed by enemies from every where.We need to educate our people towards unity and no division by calling names to this and to that group.We are all in the same boat and our destiny is ONE.
    Finally ,I would love to see all walks of our lost nation be on board towards that goal UNITY!!

    I will send my salaams to that sister( bartamaha vid- who partially rised a question about the identity ,this is very important question.
