May Allah bless this Somali man forever 🇸🇴

How the Somalis Saved Mecca from the Portuguese The Horn of Africa and the Red Sea were the stage of a dramatic 16th-century conflict that decided the fate of Islam’s holiest cities. The Portuguese Empire, newly risen as a naval power, sought to strangle the lifelines of the Muslim world and even threatened Mecca and Medina. But it was the Somali states, alongside their Ottoman allies, who fought back and ensured the survival of Islam’s heartlands. ⸻ The Portuguese Ambition in the Indian Ocean • After Vasco da Gama’s voyage around Africa (1497–1499), Portugal became the first European empire to project power into the Indian Ocean. • By 1510, they captured Goa in India; in 1511, Malacca in Southeast Asia; and by 1515, they seized Hormuz in the Persian Gulf. • Their strategy was clear: dominate trade routes, block Muslim merchants, and weaken the Islamic world’s economic and spiritual centers. • Controlling the Red Sea would give them leverage over the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca, as well as spice and gold trade routes. ⸻ First Clashes in the Red Sea • In 1516, the Portuguese sent a fleet into the Red Sea but were blocked at Jeddah, the port of Mecca, by a combined Mamluk-Somali force. • In 1517, the Ottomans conquered Egypt, inheriting responsibility for defending Mecca and Medina. • This brought the Somali states, Ottomans, and Arabs into alliance against the Portuguese. ⸻ The Somali States and Their Role • Adal Sultanate (based in Zeila): A Muslim Somali state that fought fiercely against Christian Ethiopia and allied with the Ottomans against the Portuguese. Its leader, Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Ghazi (Ahmed Gurey / Gran), was one of the most feared military commanders of the century. • Ajuran Sultanate (based in Mogadishu): A powerful Somali state with a strong navy that dominated trade in East Africa and the Indian Ocean. Its fleets helped disrupt Portuguese shipping. • Somali ports like Zeila, Berbera, Mogadishu, and Marka became vital supply bases for the Ottoman fleet in their Red Sea campaigns.

Because I'm not the Author of the text, I will provide you with thread content ----- How the Somalis Helped Save Mecca from the Portuguese In the early 16th century, the Horn of Africa and the Red Sea became the frontline of a decisive struggle that would determine the fate of Islam’s holiest cities. A newly empowered European naval force, the Portuguese Empire, sought to dominate the Indian Ocean, sever Muslim trade routes, and place pressure on Mecca and Medina themselves. Standing in their way were the Somali Muslim states, working in close coordination with the Ottomans, who played a critical role in defending the heartlands of Islam.

Portuguese Ambitions in the Indian Ocean After Vasco da Gama’s historic voyage around Africa from 1497 to 1499, Portugal became the first European power capable of projecting a sustained naval force into the Indian Ocean. - By 1510, the Portuguese had captured Goa in India. - In 1511, they seized Malacca in Southeast Asia. - By 1515, they controlled Hormuz at the entrance to the Persian Gulf. Their strategy was clear and aggressive. Control the sea lanes, choke Muslim commerce, and weaken the economic foundations of the Islamic world. Dominating the Red Sea would also give them leverage over the Hajj routes leading to Mecca, threatening both pilgrimage and trade.

The First Clashes in the Red Sea In 1516, a Portuguese fleet attempted to force its way into the Red Sea. At Jeddah, the main port serving Mecca, they were confronted and halted by a joint Mamluk and Somali defense. The situation changed further in 1517 when the Ottomans conquered Egypt. With this victory, the Ottoman Empire assumed responsibility for protecting Mecca and Medina. This brought the Ottomans, Arab forces, and Somali states into a united front against Portuguese expansion.

The Somali States and Their Decisive Role Somali Muslim states were not passive allies. They were active naval and military powers whose geography, ports, and armies were indispensable. -Adal Sultanate (based in Zeila): A powerful Somali state that fought both Christian Ethiopia and Portuguese-backed forces. Its legendary leader, Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Ghazi, known as Ahmed Gurey, became one of the most formidable commanders of the century and a symbol of Muslim resistance. - Ajuran Sultanate (based in Mogadishu): A maritime powerhouse with a strong navy that dominated East African and Indian Ocean trade. Ajuran fleets harassed Portuguese shipping and disrupted their supply lines. - Strategic Somali Ports: Cities such as Zeila, Berbera, Mogadishu, and Marka served as critical supply and logistics hubs for Ottoman naval operations in the Red Sea, enabling sustained resistance against Portuguese incursions.

This is the kind of speech that scares westerners. Muslims in minority may sincerely wish a conversion of a country but this generates also fear and hatred. I don’t think we are prophets to impose our views or faith on others, not this way at all! We need cooperation and peace !

Hajji Dabacasar the goat

Allah can never bless day care fraudsters and pirates

Islam will probably take over Europe. Won't ever happen in the U.S. not without civil war.

Go home. Somalian r thieves.

No one in their right mind wants him, his degenerate religion, and the lowdown degenerate god that goes with it. Any religion that treat women like this is a cult.

You said nothing would happen to the Somali's in Minnesota and that you are "always" right. The entire government is now down there now.

Fuck you and fuck the Somali scammers bitch

You guys are pathetic

Blessed by an Allah for lying, stealing, and cheating? You are using God's name as a word of SHAME and evil.

So, some guy from across the ocean shows up barking weird chicken talk saying he will take over. Fuck Allah and his pedo prophet

When Muslims act like this it often ends with a KABOOM .
