The point am making is although we might win the battle we should be very careful not to loose the war,The ideological strength of alshabab should be counteracted with equal or more powerful ideological paradigm shift.We need to neutralize the strength they have in recruiting new members,members who in most cases come from rich and well to do families and countries.
Maybe you need to change your friends. The Muslims I have talked to, friends and otherwise, have neither sympathy nor time for al shabab regardless of their position on the invasion of Somalia. In my opinion anybody who has any sympathy for al shabab is not any different from them.
