and what is somalis beef with political science.

^ it was done by the men you hate so much. notes to shariif to make his office more presidential: * Get rid of the podium and put in a press room * get rid of the chairs in front of the desk and put a sitting area in the office * don't allow any plastics such as the red tagaalet the tea man is carrying * get some persian carpets (real ones: important) am sure ahmadinijad would be willing to donate some. * avoid modern furniture like the desk, the first office needs to look timeless and stately. other then that, looks great for a shell shocked city. as for reyaale, kinda hopeless but take comfort in that fact that qabdaro is something all modern somali leaders of any kind share with you. Can you imagine Aden or Abdirashid of the 60s in such offices as the ones today call presidential offices.?

^ me 2

Noah's Dilemma

Losing my religion. Why I recently walked away from Christianity. By theBEattitude I was planning to write up a detailed story about my Christian life and the recent rejection of my faith. But my goal is not to build a case to prove I believed in God or to demonstrate how good of a Christian I was. I did truly believe in God for most of my life and worshiped and prayed to him daily. I believed he was at work in my life at all times and using me to touch other people’s lives. losing-my-religion So you might be wondering what changed. The change was a culmination of things that I could no longer ignore. Faith is belief in the unseen and unprovable, but still requires a foundation for that faith. With the countless religions of the world, I began to question why the god of the Bible is more believable than all other gods worshiped on earth. With the mountain of evidence staring me in the face, my faith began to die. Last fall, I finally moved past guilt and admitted to myself that I no longer believe in Jesus or the god of the Bible. Surprisingly it was a relief. Not because I wanted to run wild and sin freely, but because I no longer felt the weight a Christian carries. The weight of guilt, unworthiness and fear of god’s judgement. I continue to spend my days striving to be a good husband, father and son. I help others in need around me as often as I can. The big difference is I do these things today because it brings me joy, not because I believe it brings an imaginary god joy. For those wondering, here is a condensed “Top 20 List” of the things that led to my rejection of Christianity. 1. God is wrathful, jealous, hateful, and kills nations of people like it is a bodily function. He is certainly not just or “holy” in nature. 2. The act of throwing people into infinite torture and punishment for not believing a Jewish guy from 2,000 years ago was God’s son, or unknowingly worshiping the wrong god, is extremely cruel and sadistic. 3. The statements, “God works in mysterious ways,” or “It will all make sense in heaven,” are little more than irrational cop outs. This God allows horrible atrocities to be committed against innocent men, women and children every day. 4. Bloody animal and human sacrifices are illogical demands by a divine god as payment for petty wrong doings. These actions are no different the rituals of archaic pagan religions. Not to mention the bizarre ritual of symbolically drinking human blood and eating human flesh. 5. If God loves us and wants us to know and believe in him, why be so completely invisible? What is the purpose of being so illusive to those who believe and worship him? 6. God never manifests himself or performs miracles as he regularly did for the Israelites in Old Testament stories. 7. Prayers are never answered. Certainly not in the way Jesus described. Prayer has absolutely no affect on the world around us. 8. Jesus did not fulfill major Old Testament prophesies or even fulfill his own promises and predictions. 9. The authors of much of the Bible are unknown. And of these unknown authors, the men who wrote the gospels likely never even met Jesus considering they were written 40-70 years after his death. A far cry from reliable testimony. 10. The Bible is repeatedly contradictory with itself, reality, and the laws of morality. Couldn’t god inspire a less poorly written book? 11. The Bible is open to interpretation. Everyone interprets it in the way that suits them best or serves their purposes. 12. Throughout history, Christians have justified horrific actions by the Bible and its teaching. 13. The Bible promotes hate and persecution against women, homosexuals and those who worship other gods or no god at all. 14. According to the Bible, nearly 70% percent of the people in the world will burn in hell because they don’t believe Jesus was the son of God. 15. The only reason I was a Christian was because I was indoctrinated into the religion as a child as a result of the culture and region of the world in which I was born. 16. Christianity has no more rational or factual foundation than any other religion on earth that I openly reject. 17. The Christian church is disjointed and can’t even agree with one another. 18. Christians are not at all ethically or morally different from non-Christians. 19. Today, powerful Christian church leaders steal, lie and molest young children. The church repeatedly attempts to cover up these atrocities, only to reluctantly apologize as a last resort. 20. It is absolutely irrational to continue to believe archaic teaching with the amount of knowledge we’ve gained through science and technology. The Bible reads like a book of primitive folklore, not divinely inspired insight into our true reason for existence. Thebeattitude.com

^ anglicized Koonfureed More importantly, can some one transcribe the gabay. Some of us have hard time understanding gabays

Dhulka Puntland waxa uu ka kooban yahay gobollada Bari, Nugaal, Sool, Cayn, karkaar, Gobolka Waqooyiga Mudug, Heylaan iyo Gobolka Bariga Sanaag. Ka dar oo dibi dal! Heylaan iyo Bariga sanaag su isku gobol maha?

Its ok, they can call it that too, its doesn't matter at the end of the day

^^ LOL @ your quote, its gonna be my FBook status for a few days. Yduke, not true at all,there are different kind of beauties and only the artificial kind are attracted to artificial symbols like cars. What if the girl lives in NY, the only cars she sees are taxis...

One, more shocking or not not, it is to be hoped that false claims to advance false arguments would be avoided by sane people. Secondly, i like to think that am a kin of A Yusuf in ideology but if its its your claim that I defend him blood kinship (Aren't all Somalis)then i can claim that your hatred of him is due to the fact that you are not a "blood". For future reference, not a good idea to presume, work with what you know. and yes thank God am not because you would be banned by now.

do you hear yourself sxb: when Shariif does its for his country but when the Sufis do it its just against the shabab...

or SSH

or SSC

btw somalipride, its called darwiishland

S landers and P landers, squash the beef, seriously, its 2009. Aw-muuse, i do think secession is the answer cause those lunatics can't get their house in order.

Originally posted by Al Zeylaci: quote:Originally posted by Naxar Nugaaleed: whenever the need arises, contrary to popular believes, these Sufis picked what ever was available to them and defended themselves i.e, the darwiish and the followers of Ahmed Gurey. There is no connection or comparison between these modern "Sufis" and the likes of Sayid Muhamad. If anything, they are the antithesis of such men. Why are they the antithesis, because you disagree with them? Are both groups not Sufi, are they both not fighting for their country?

in order to determine that, you would need to know two things: How many Somalis there are, pretty impossible but you can use estimates by reputable orgs like The UN or World factbook. Second a randomly selected 10% of the population If you do that with members of SOL, still you should interpret as "? % of SOL members believe/ think..." With that, good luck buddy, anything other then that, please stop presenting your opinions as facts or statistics, goes for everyone. If I was a moderator, i would delete claims like the one you made.

Haybe is hilarious
