One shouldn't just repeat whatever they happened to hear Tony Blair say.
Just because a few Somalians get together in Kenya with the backing of the UN and start saying they are the new "transitional government" doesn't mean that they have earned the right to govern the people, and it doesn't assume them any sovereignty. The people of Somalia have spoken. They want Islam. They want an end to the US-backed warlords. The Islamic courts have had rapid success. They have been able to accomplish things that have not been accomplished in 15 years, such as the opening of major airports and seaports; Somalians from around the world are able to go back home again for the first time in years and visit their families and reclaim properities that were stolen from them by the warlords.
These Islamic courts of Somalia represent the only regions of the country where there is peace, security, and prosperity, before the Islamic courts they would kidnap children regularly and ransom them for money. The Islamic courts stepped in and put an end to all kinds of criminal practices, and the people found Unity in the Unity of Allah.

Like you would even care about Somalia if it wasn't for the Islam issue. You can argue all you want, but Somalia is not united. The fact is that Somalia has no recognized central government authority nor any other feature associated with an established independent state. Blame who ever you want, but that is the truth. The country is messed up right now.

So it's only a legitimate government if a bunch of white diplomats from America and Europe get together and decide that it's a legitimate government?

one wasn't quoting tony blair, one was stating his opinion. Infact I have never heard Blair speak on the issue and i'll think you'll find I don't just go along with everything he says you only have to read my posts, in each of them i use my own judgements not those of tony blair or my local muslim cleric.
Tell when the people of somalia voted for the islamic courts? why is there this other government if everyone in somalia they want the islamic courts? were they invited or did they impose themselves?
Does the US really back the war lords? It was my understanding it was the war lords who chased the americans OUT of Somalia.

Did I say that? I'm saying there are no aspects that really make it a legit government. And even Somalia's neighbors (Black people) will tell you that.
