#1 According to my Lonely Planet Guide of Somalia, you can get a good cup of coffee in Belet Weyne.

#2 O/T but every time I read Somali islamist, I harken back to a certain photo of Obama in a Kenyan cultural costume.

Obama was dressed in Somali muslim cultural garb by his family, not Kenyan garb. His family background may be more islamist somalian -ethnic somali - than Kenyan. Not quite as noble a heritage as Obama wants to believe. So, as ethnic Somali, Obamas Islamic family are likely Sunni. Which answers Obamas question.as to not knowing if his heritage was Sunni or Shiite.

Definitely though, muslim all down the line. (in a country 85% Christian) Til Obama enters the public eye and suddenly Dads a Christian and Christian Obama belongs to a church that can be attended without conflicting with islam, or any other religion. One can be muslim and still be a member of the church for instance.. A black member, of course.

So Obama comes to America from the 15% (overtipping point) islamist muslim minority in Kenya and claims Kenyan heritage to smooth things over. Failed coup in Kenya in 1982 Obamas Dad dies in car accident in Nairobi in 1982. (Even drunks have their uses.) Dad was a muslim Luo.

Obama says hes not a muslim but hes got taquiyya down pat.
