Zulfa, When I posted yesterday that article about my city that was written by a Philly journalist about the recent use of Burqa by some brothers as a crime tool I had no intention of disaporving the dress.I view veiling as a sign of honor and distinction among women of faith.I don’t agree with some viewing it as a symbol of women inferiority in Islam, but rather a choice women make to dress to their likings. Now do I see my wife or my daughter wearing that veil? No, because veiling in Islam can be a generic term that means wearing a loosely fit modest covering! I see many Muslims in my city of Philadelphia wearing the burqa style in public minding their business. I don’t think they are under the sway of an oppressive patriachial husband at home rather I’d like to view it as a CHOICE. Thanks God I live in America where people dress as they choose!

Check this girl out.She was the new Spring face of Ralph Lauren.Her imposing presence and staggering beauty caught my eys.She has the distinct Kenyan accent.She is saying she was born in Somalia, but I suspect she is just another stoic claiming to be born in Somalia Stunning natural beauty!

Where I'm from they do funny business with Burqa :mad: .I totally don't agree with the article about the radicalization of black muslims in Philly, but when you have ****** like this putting sisters in harms way you will be ticked off! My Imam adressed the issue. Radical among Us

Hmm…I haven’t seen that type of relationship either (as it is Haram in Islam) but I would not be surprised to see them being boyfriend and girlfriend, which it is still haraam, for awhile until they become financially secure or one is done with his/her studies. When I met my girlfriend (soon-to-be-wifey)sh e was doing her undergraduate studies at the time. There is no way we could both afford to get married at the time with my meager stipend.We just prioritized what is important without stepping out of the cultural norm by doing our relationship undercover until we knew for sure we were secure both financially.I personally think the boyfriend/girlfriend think should only be pursued if you think something is coming out of it….Somali waxeey tirrii cirriit aan arkayoow illig kamasoo socdoo….if you know nothing is coming out of it abandon the ship early!!

Love the Somali mom...No bull shitting...the high priest of the church of the painful truth...She made my day..."a girl is like a cooked meat".....Loool Waa Ceeb gabaar boyfriend leeh..Yeah I said it..there goes my hypocrisy of the day!

Three hours of sleep...and going! Ignore my grouchy comments.Only place I can vent....

What my summer looks like right now;piles of laundry, numerous cups strewn on the desk,piles of notes that are size of a tree, junkfood crumbs all over my body.Pain in the back/shoulder for sitting too long in a pre-clinic chair trying to curve out the best shiny gold-crown tooth ever seen by the eyes of A-hole clinical instructor professors. Slowly emptying wallet for eating out constantly and grumpiness that will last until this is over.FML :mad: :mad:

Tell me about it! You are talking about Ramadhan and I'm still wondering where has time gone today.It is 7Pm ET where I'm at and I have 6324 slides :mad: to go through before tuesday.Where has today gone? I wanna to curse, but I'd not do it since you seem like religious person.Where did the time go today? PS I haven't had a good ramathan for the last decade.Hopefully one day I'll observe Ramathan somewhere other than America....

Cushites? Why does this remind me a Kenyan Geography and history class in primary school.I'm a Nilote!

I'm ignorant...I don't READ books with big printed titles! Matter fact right now I'm allergic to any book.Just want my Summer!

That was terrible, I mean just awful.Don't quit your day job J/K. WTF? the only white person with a Visa here is Cadaan and I'm sure my eyes were not deceiving me when I watched that video (you don't have Cadaan frame).You is white dude and you know more about Somali politics...Cool

^Just hating My life right now..thats all...FML :mad:

F****CK My life...a whole day of work went to waste.I was about to scream today when I broke my Gold Crown teeth, which is due in few days....Stress..Stre ss...Project due...F**Ck My Life!!!!!!!!!!

Set my alarm at 3:00 am...to get up to study for an exam.Wake up at 7:30 am...Exam was at 8:30 am.Cursed and rolled out of bed cursing all the demons that put me to sleep.Walked into the classroom.Professsor handing out exam papers and all I could remember was that Urge to defecate occurs when intra-rectal pressures exceed 18 mmHg and When intra-rectal pressures exceed 55 mmHg , there is reflex defecation, i.e. defecation takes place no matter what.Weird but was Funny!

I'm So SCreeeeeeeeeweeeeeee d.Have an exam in the morning and I'm the most unprepared I have ever been...Its gonna be a LONG night here......

Rudy, I never miss my cup of coffee in the morning.Dunkin-donut coffee my favorite (I think there is something in their coffee that makes me wanna have it every morning).I just had a bad day with a collegue.My Somali short-temper took over me and I reacted in unprofessional way, which I REGRET it...

Just Realized today I'm a short-tempered guy.I'm a patient guy, but sometimes I can be ghetto.Need to slow it down a notch! Freaking Jesus I'm almost thirty!Sheitanka inaan iskaanaroow weyaan arrintu! :mad:

I watched it last night (though was supposed to study for an Exam ).It was the most funniest movie this year!

F******My Life!!!!!!!!!!

Osman-NZ, If you didn’t get the memo that the hate is over, then something is wrong with you Son.It seems like nothing matters to you including all his talented lyrics. All you care about is probably Props proving that nothing really matters in rap besides T-Pain hooks and club-friendly beats that are sexist and misogynist (I side-stepped all your other reasons for hate including clannish bigotry!) And also maybe you didn't know that record companies are shaddy so said Q-tip when he rapped ( “Industry rule number 4080, record company people are shady)

That is my cousin (so I was told) Once upon a time my grandfather and his grandfather (could be great-grandfathers ) lived together in a place called Salaxley exclusively and in area around the towns of Aware and Daroor...Now can this sijui guy claim some piece of Somali history!

^ I guess they didn't get the "PRISON" joke

Cara, we are taking summer classes because they want us to be READY for our board exams in next summer.This is also when we are heading to clinic.Summer time not the best time for anyone to go to hospitals and school based clinics-this is the time when the new students are sent to the clinics for rotations... Ngonge, this is for you.Some of my lousy job (so thinks my instructor)

This beautiful day I'm stuck in a classroom listening to my ever boring toupee wearing physiology professor with his corny jokes.....Why am I here????????????? Treat it like a job dummy.The axe has fallen on many.The pink slip has been issued.Do you want your life structured around fruitless career websites? No...So pay attention and sip the dunkin-donut while you pretend to pay attention!
