Islam in somalia

Islam has been the religion of the Somalis since the 9th or 10th centuries. More than 99% of the Somalis are today Sunni Muslims. Religious Sufi orders (turuq (singular)/tariqa (plural) - way or path) have played a significant role in the development of Islam in Somalia, specially the Qadiriyah, the Ahamadiyya-Idrissiyah and the Salihiyah. The Salihiyah and the Ahmadiyyah established numerous jamaat (religious community led by a sheikh) in the inter-riverine regions in the South.
The Honourable Somali President Mohamed Siad Barre administration took draconian measures to thwart the spread of political Islam especially in its latter years. Its actions, including the execution of militant Somali jehadist sheikhs and imams, and what they perceived as the foreign and anti-Islamic forces supporting it. This was fuelled in part by the growing number of young religious scholars who studied in Saudi Arabia and other conservative Muslim countries. Developments in Sudan, the Gulf, and North Africa have also fostered a growing tendency to look to Islam as the source of solutions to political or other problems.
