Salaama calaykum Waryaaya..waa ciid dee, so chill out...both of you ENT and JAZ kiss and make up..you both sound reasonable men. After that..with this cereers stuff...women trying to work in the west is very bad. Walahi iam not a what do you call it? ani-women but i see my work place and i wouldnt like my wife or sis or any women i cared about to work there. Nur this includes OBY & GYN and PEADs departemnts in which i have worked in.

Sophist Salaamas..hows Cambridge..cold

Salama calaykum ladies I dont normally reply to these talks but iam complled to reply. First of all, islam is a complete way of life...we follow the quran and the sunnah, its a civalisation and a good, moderate way to life. therefore if our beautiful religion forbids something..its forbiden..there is no moderate way to look at it. Very simple...i think some of you have been litsening to the wetern media bit too much and have been indoctrinated with the phrase 'islamic extremism' so review your thinking... As regards to the clothing women wear..it has been explictly laid out how a muslim women should dress, there is no such thing as 'have some friends who don't dress what is considered to be 'perfect' women dress, however, they are good people, they pray, fast, and they are always god-conscious' Because in the quran it says clearly the way one shouls dress...so there is no choice about that. sorry if i said anything to offend some1..and can give all the references from quran and hadith if one requires

Africa....u r analysis is kinda biased...just like any analysis can be confounded by personal opinion. Most regular readers would agree even if they oppose the view of sumarai-Warior that he is the most taleneted and well versed contributer to the forum. Mr Odweyne is hot on his toes and contributes very well also. As for Bari_nmad,he keeps all of us informed on all matters somali and Somalia. As for you...what exactly are u r opinions and what r u trying to achieve.

I know ppl find it hard to believe, but the report was written by the UN. Haaruun: bro i dont see anyone who is loughing, can you? WindTalker: over 70% of the worlds population live on less than $5 a day, so bro dont let the social welfare money your suckling on lie to you....go research and find out what ppl realy live on.....Lacgta Ceyrta is not yours

Thanks Bari and SW. This is proves the development Pland. Iam not much of an econimist but I agree with diversification of bussineses in Pland and self reliance...we shouls produce and manfucture as much as we can do. PLand should aim to become the industrial powehouse of Somalia.

guys thanks for the good news...as i said others write the good news about Pland..and sheikh and his friends are getting annoyed reading good news coming out of Pland everyday....they cant handle it. Wasnt it Hargeysa hospital on British Tv begging for money from the British public....or is u r memory too short to remeber... Brother stop hating and start believing.

Bari_N keep giving them impartial news, not written by Planders, this is great news for Somalia, cos everyone can come and take part in this economic boom, ppl describe Pland as the 'united states of Somalia' cos it welcomes ppl of any tribe who want to work and have an honest living. when i go back, which i as often as i can, i can the progress, and everytime things have moved on, we can only say massha'allah and thank god for the peace we have. One other thing that ppl of PLand are very succesful at is the delivery of healthcare...the general hospital in Galkacyo which i worked in gets cases from every part of somalia, Sland, ethopia, mogadishu due to its expertise in certain feilds.

Damn iam Number 1 on the list............if i lived in the states. But living in the UK....iam gonna end up like 10th or below...cos lawyers, execatives, and whole lot more of ppl get paid more that surgeons and physicians. But hey all of you in the medical feild...Drs get much higher pay in Somalia...in terms of cost of living, medical insurace and so on. So all of you should think about going back home sometime in the future....

This is great news for the Somali ppl. The ppl who made this possible are great nationals and they are willing to help their country. As a junior doctor my self...hope to see my self working in Somalia one day.

Smith excellent news.....this is what somali can do without a central government imagine with a government then. Well done to the Puntland adminstration. this road project is not just a new trade route...but Garacad town is scenic seaside resort in that part of Somalia.....so a holiday resort huh..LOL

Al Shaddad Bin Aous has quoted this tradition of the Holy Prophet(P.B.U.H.) "God calls for mercy in everything, so be meriful when you kill and when you slaughter, sharpen your blade to relieve its pain". Many allegations have been made that Islamic slaughter is not humane to animals. However, Professor Schultz and his colleague Dr. Hazim of the Hanover University, Germany, proved through an experiment, using an electroencephalograph (EEG) and electrocardiogram (ECG) that *Islamic slaughter is THE humane method of slaughter* and captive bolt stunning, practiced in the Western method, causes severe pain to the animal. The results surprised many. Experimental Details: 1. Several electrodes were surgically implanted at various points of the skull of all animals, touching the surface of the brain. 2. The animals were allowed to recover for several weeks. 3. Some animals were slaughtered by making a swift, deep incision with a sharp knife on the neck cutting the jugular veins and carotid arteries of both sides; as also the trachea and oesophagus. This is the Halal Method. 4. Some animals were stunned using a captive bolt pistol. This is the 'humane slaughter' according to the Western Method. 5. During the experiment, EEG and ECG were recorded on all animals to record the condition of the brain and heart during the course of slaughter as well as stunning. Results and Discussion: I Halal Method 1. The first three seconds from the time of Islamic slaughter as recorded on the EEG did not show any change from the graph before slaughter, thus indicating that the animal did not feel any pain during or immediately after the incision. 2. For the following 3 seconds, the EEG recorded a condition of deep sleep - unconsciousness. This is due to a large quantity of blood gushing out from the body. 3. After the above mentioned 6 seconds, the EEG recorded zero level, showing no feeling of pain at all. 4. As the brain message (EEG) dropped to zero level, the heart was still pounding and the body convulsing vigorously (a reflex action of the spinal cord) driving maximum blood from the body: resulting in hygienic meat for the consumer. II Western Method by C.B.P. Stunning 1. The animals were apparently unconscious soon after stunning. 2. EEG showed severe pain immediately after stunning. 3. The hearts of the animal stunned by C.B.P. stopped beating earlier as compared to those of the animals slaughtered according to the Halal method resulting in the retention of more blood in the meat. This in turn is unhygienic for the consumer.

The British submarine engineer and historian Gavin Menzies gave an astounding seminar on March 15, 2002 to the Royal Geographical Society in London, with evidence to support his theory that Zheng He, the Chinese Muslim navigator in the Ming dynasty, beat Columbus by more than 70 years in discovering America. Using evidence from maps drawn dated before Columbus' trip that clearly showed America, and astronomical maps traced back to Zheng He's time, Menzies is confident that the Zheng He should be honored as the first discoverer of America. Menzies's conclusion is based on 14 years of research that includes secret maps, evidence of artifacts, and apparent proof of the voyage provided by the modern astronomy software program Starry Night. As key evidence for a voyage that will remake history, Menzies says he obtained ancient Chinese navigation charts associated with the travels of Zheng He. The journey ran from 1421 to 1423. Menzies maintains that the ships sailed around the Southern tips of both Africa and South America.

Geedid bro u r making me lough.......i dont know where you read or hear your stories from...but the stuff you is based in a vacuum and unrealistic. you want the somalia ppl to believe the Sland is not based on tribe while Pland is based on tribe. For your information...and most other somalis and Slanders would verify this..that Pland is more diverse tribal affliation than Sland. And for your benifit Galkacyo city is one of the most ethnically mixed town is somalia maybe with the exception of Mogadishu. check out the facts bro.....

Saaxiibayaal somaliland is safe and its been good for a while....but the think is you guys dont look and read and watch whats on the ground. The simple fact is Many other parts of Somalia are safe, as safe as S/Land. So when you guys stop wishing bad on rest of Somlia and start concetrating on advancing S/Land..that might be good for all of us.

When women wera hijab it looks good on them and also it gives women respect. Most somali guys when they see a woman wearing hijab they dont trespass her..and they give her more respect that non hijab wearer. The above statement what we see in daily life. but the facts are 1)hijab is not optional its conditional 2)its in the quran suratul ahzab..ayat 59 '33:59 O Prophet! Tell thy wives and daughters, and the believing women, that they should cast their outer garments over their persons (when abroad): that is most convenient, that they should be known (as such) and not molested. And Allah is Oft- Forgiving, Most Merciful'. rudy over 95% of Islam is facts from Quran and hadith...now go and check that ayat. dont ever bring the islamic religion into despute in your discussions. what you beleive and what the is in the quran and hadith might be different. there ppl in this forum who might not be knowlegeable about such matters and for you to confuse them with such comments is treacherous. So i ask you PLEASE dont bring islam into disrepute

LOL.creative and funny shit

Guys we are starting a book collection in London for the university of East Africa in Bosaso. What about all the other nomads in other parts of the world who would like to start a book collection in their cities. We should all pull together, to help our ppl back home.

LOL man....Dantay, what an imagination bro. I think bari_nomad is the one with the white shirt and sun glases. Dantay.. iam a betting man..you wanna give some odds

Very happy for the sis, but iam kinda disapointed she is the 1st canadian trained somali Dr, i would have thought there would have been more. LST...i think Somalis in the UK have the best oppurtunity to attend world class institutuins and top medical schools for free..i.e. at no cost. Glad to say there are British trained somali Dr and there are few of us coming towards the end of medical school.

Lynx..bor very valid questions...lt me anwser a few. People in somaliland live in propoganda..to make themselves appear better than somalia...let me tell you few facts.. 1)Mogadishu is still the trade center of somalia..there more money in mogadishu markets than somaliland. 2)people of somaliland dont like to admit and give credit to other parts of somlia which are succeeding 3)did you know parts of magadishu, city basaso are faster growing in terms of ecenomy than somliland. Land is more expensive in bosaso and mogadhishu than in hargeysa.

You all got it wrong except the GENTLEMAN, The Brother just put this topic up i thnik to check how brainwashed the Somalian girls in the west are. Whats a smart woman? i bet none of the gilrs in here can anwaser that question. Was your mum a smart woman? go ahead tell me. Why is it alwaya women have an inferiorety complex? You see all the wannabe western guys and girls think a smart woman is one who 1) got a degree 2) dresses like the kufar 3) goes out everynite like the kufar to cocktail bars and clubs 4)and basically is westernised..forgot her islamic values None one can judge anyone and you take ppl at face value......but what u girls need to do is to communicate with the bros...and SHARE a life.

CLOWN bro..fadlan is Arabic not Somali Silent guy..i think thats the closet we will get to please....I saked quite alot of ppl but no one seems to have an anwser..i guess its in our blood not to say it

This story doesnt add up...as you read you can clearly see its made up...but it tells me one thing...if we are not careful and practice our deen completly and fully and these kinda articles would start to increase in number...cos they will think they can get to us.
