Somalia's Federal government today Tuesday, December 22, banned the celebrations of Christmas and New Year in the capital Mogadishu. It says celebrating Christmas is against faith of Somali Muslims and won't allow it happen in the country.



Director General of Somalia’s Ministry of Religious Affairs, Sheikh Mohamed Khayrow announced the decision in a Press Conference held in Mogadishu along with the Vice Chairman of the Supreme Religious Council (SRC), Sheikh Nur Barud Gurhan.

All events related to Christmas and New Year celebrations are contrary to Islamic culture, which could damage aqidah (faith) of the Muslim community. He added:

"All security forces are advised to halt or dissolve any gatherings. There should be no activity at all."

Sheikh Nur Barud Gurhan, the deputy chairman of the Supreme Religious Council of Somalia said that such events might motivate extremist group al-Shabaab to launch attacks in the capital.

"We [Islamic Scholars] are warning against the celebration of such events which are not relevant to the principles of our religion. Such events give also al-Shabaab to carry out attacks."

@sweetdaddy1: I hope u are not a Nigerian, if u are, then don't worry because the time has come to leave empty heads like u to your fate. People with mentality like yours have been dragging the name of Nigeria to the mud, and the weight has become heavy for others to bear, Biafra will accommodate all Christians all over the world to their land.

And some people open their Okro mouth to insult Donald Trump for saying that they should not be allowed Muslims into USA again, you can see it clear that the war is between Muslims and Christians no doubt about that, although I've not yet to confirm that Brunei and this Somali story from CNN, BBC, Euros News or Al jazeera news, so how come none of this tv network have not heard of it?

I think is time for Christians all over the world to pick up weapons and fight for their right we can not keep waiting this animals to wipe us out in the world. Time is coming when you go to shop as a Christian you can not be able to buy anything for you been a Christian. If we don't fight back now it will be late.

When I tell some people that this Muslim guys don't like the Christians at all most of them doesn't believe my words how will in such a free world like this a leader in one particular nation will stand up and pronounce the banning of Christian celebration. This is not the love the Muslims do say they have for us, and as far as am concern we love them more than they do in return.
