Part of the purpose of fasting is so that we can gain sympathy for others who have to go without food and drink. So that we can praise Allah that he has not afflicted us with what he has afflicted them with, and that he has elevated us over much of what he has created. Because anybody could be in that position. The differences amongst humans is not so vast that it is impossible for a man to starve. There was once a King who loved his gold so much that he would go inside the vault to count it, until one day the vault door closed behind him and he starved to death counting his gold.

Yeah Islam faith is really a good help in these times. I hear especially the al-Shabaab are doing a great job there.

Yeah, and the US drone planes that fly over and drop bombs across the country every year or so have sure helped things along as well. ;)

Don't dodge it. How you feel about them? Are you ashamed cause they give Africans and Muslims a bad name, or do you believe that they are good people and just misunderstood?

Chill homie. He didn't really ask me a question. He was just talking shit. He wasn't asking me how I felt about Al-Shabab. I don't have any problem at all being asked my opinion on Al-Shabab...
...To answer your question, first and foremost I don't support Shariah Law. So any group who's objective is to create a Shariah Law government, I don't support that. As I said before, I am a Libertarian, I support individual rights and individual liberties. Also, from a strategic standpoint, Somalia must sell-out to the West and set up a puppet government. It is their only hope at this point, because whenever a Shariah government is established, they are immediately bombed into defeat by U.S. drones or NATO backed-Ethiopian fighters.
Moreover, Al-Shabab are even worse than your average Muslim group working to establish Shariah (like say Muslim brotherhood/Ikwani-Muslimeen for example). Al-Shabab believe in the most extreme and uncompromising brand of Islam called Salafi, or Wahabbi, that follows the Scholarship of 18th century scholar Muhammad Ibn Abdul-Wahhab. These type of people don't believe much in the spiritual aspect of Islam, and place great importance on the length of ones beard, or the length of his pants, or make hour long tirades about Muslims in the backwoods of a remote jungle possibly praying at a mosque in which a grave might have been placed underneath. I never liked these types of Muslims (Salafi/Wahhabi's) even in my most devout days as a Muslim. But before I made the mistake of trying to improve relations with them, but I learned the hard way that I should always do my double-best to avoid them.
