At Hotel Shamo in Mogadishu a veiled suicide bomber slipped into conference hall and blew up himself, killing 22 persons including three cabinet ministers (one of them was my friend Ahmed Abdullahi Waayeel, minster of Education). He came there to attend a graduation ceremony held for the medical students from University of Benadir. I dedicate this poem to him and to all those who have lost their lives in that barbaric act of terrorism. Please use the youtube link to see what happened in the hotel on Thursday 03 December: 3 Somali ministers killed by hotel suicide bomb
They gathered for inauguration
Their faces glowed like a moon
They came to receive certificates
But evil rewarded them with a bomb
A veiled suicide bomber blew them up
He reduced them to pieces of flesh
Floating on a pool of fresh blood
He Shattered the dreams of a nation
Destroyed the hearts of parents
Plunged souls in depths of agony
Is violence is a way of appeasing Allah
Or is it the terrorist who hijacks Islam?
I put this question not to he non-moslem
But to the Moslems themselves worldwide
Those who aspire to live in peace
But keep silent when terrorists strike
Abdi-Noor, I know your pain and loss are great -- my condolences for the loss of your friends and your land my dear friend -- as for the perpetrators, will they never learn, violence begets only more violence? -- peace and love to you -- Jon Michael
You are brave to speak out, Abdi Noor,and I applaud you. We need more like you! No mattr who the terrorist is it should never be hidden,or we can't survive their terror! So sorry for the loss of your friend! Heartbreaking indeed! God keep you and your family in His care!
Heartbreaking indeed. Why do we do this to our own brothers and sisters? This is insane.
Another sign of the times, I guess; just awful.
Or is all that's been happening throughout the world a sign of the END TIMES?
May God have mercy on us all.
I'm so sorry for your loss my friend.
Heartbreaking, Abdi-Noor, I'm sorry for your loss. Please accept my deepest condolences, for your friend, for your people, for your Nation, for your religion. :( Words fail - my tears will have to suffice.
Terrorist have hijacked Islam, not out of a religious belief, but as a banner for giving legitimacy to their barbaric methods. Why two billion of Muslims keep quite about it is a mystery, do they believe their terrorists are acting in the name of Allah?
PI novel set in Manhattan during the 1980s when art galleries and model agencies were the two most glamorous businesses in the world. Dangerously well written.
