Send a PM. Thanks Sheherazade Muraad, Both Qatar Airways and SOL are taking you more personally Sxb. I'm not expecting any response from IT'S UP 2 U AIRWAYS (Qatar Airways) their deadline has already passed, I'm waiting SOL response

Why there is no Response from ADMIN. and/or Maderators for my Enquiry about the closure of Qatar Airways Name & Shame topic?

What adds some flavours to your suggestions is the fact that It's UP TO U (Qatar) Airways is the ONLY Arab airline takes Israeli passengers from AMMAN, Jordan to DOHA and elsewhere. For me, So long i'm telling the truth of what happened to me and many other passengers I'll continue to NAME & SHAME this arrogant and respectless Airways.

Since last week, I was trying to add some facts to my campaign against the above so-called Airline, but i was getting this message: You have requested a topic that does not exist! What's worng with SOL. Where is the freedom of Expression? Did they pay to SOL (as they always do) in order to close this topic? Let's revolutinize SOL, SOL should reach our voices to all Nomads in the world. I'm waiting ADMIN and MODERATORS responses?

It depends on his class status. If he's higher up on the hierarchy then maybe a slap on the hand and a mighty fine. If he's on the bottom of the totem pole then I'm guessing jail time. The above is just an opinion. He couldn't be bottom since there is no dispute between layman and Amir/Sheikh in those countries unless the bottom is crazy or to be someone who wrote his will

Muraad sxb I understand the fact that somalis have different dialec xamari,waqooyi,reerbari,afmaymay,reer mudug,etc. lakiin marka uu hadalka qoran yahay it shouldnt be that hard to understand. Rowda Sis (am i wrong) Marrkaan leeyahay Reer Xamar uma jeedo Xamar Cad-cad, waxaan u jeedaa dad xamar ku dhashay oo ku koray nooh oo hadalka waawayn akhoonin, marka dadkaas camal ma la dhibo nooh I dont no somali and all I could say is why not?? no excuses pls start reading somali cuz that is how I learned too I agree with you no excuse to read and write your mother tongue.

Naayaadhahee cajaa'ib hanakaa aragnay! duulkaan oo dhan oo isuguna wacayo SOL waxay gadhan la'yihiin erayada afkooda hooyo igu fudud mise anaa khaldan oo dhinacii somali-sujuwiqaan kujiraa? Ala maxaa la'iscaruureeyey (naac naac walaahida). Dadka Reer Xamar iyo Shujuu iyo wax kastaa isaga jira marka adiga Rowda dadka ha dhibin nooh, Guilt as Castro put it, the nearest somali word is: Gaboodfal Giulty = Gaboodfale I feel guilty I didn't go to the gym today = waan ku gaboodfalay inaanan aadin ciyaartii maanta and so on

ILAAHAY HA U NAXARIISTO.

Salaaxudiin Jazaakallaah brother. One of the miracles of this Suarh is that one RULE in the Arabic Grammar says that: if two MACRIFAH (words with AL-) repeated twice they should be considered as ONE word and not as two words because unlike the NAKIRAH words (without AL-), which are counted. Therefore our PROPHET (S.A.W) and SAHABAH as well (R.A) were saying: (LAN YAQLIBAL CUSRU YUSRAAN) which roughly means One hardship cannot overcome two reliefs. Remember; that time the modern grammar rules was not written yet ... since most Arabic grammar rules were taken from the QURAN like this one.

Ilaahay Raxmadiisa iyo Jannadiisa ha ka waraabiyo. ALLAH may REWARD HIM for his JIHAD and EFFORTS to defend ISLAM. His books, lectures and debates with non-muslims will never be forgetten. AAMMIIN

Indeed the Prophet disapproved even when some people made an appeal for support invoking ties much closer to Islam than tribal loyalties. In a dispute between two Muslims, one called out to the Muhajireen and the other to the Ansar for support. But the Prophet told them: “Abandon such blind loyalty, for it stinks.†Although the two men called out invoking an Islamic loyalty, it was akin to what the people of ignorance in pre-Islamic days used to make. Hence, the Prophet’s censure. What about today? Not to mention other crimes such as eating HARAAM and constant LYING Sometimes you may ask yourself "are we really MUSLIMS or CLAIMERS"?

Bashi Thanks for this, this man is one of the real Islamic learders in our era. think Shias and Bohras have even defied Islamic teaching to an extent they pray when they feel fit for praying.. nacudhu billah They pray to a man..whom they claim is their IMAAM..they beg him and make him like a living God..christians wanted something like this to happen.. The Rendezvous, this is not proper way to call for ISLAM, when you insult others they will insult you too and stick their creed more and more in addition they will hate you more and more as you did, instead why don't you recognise this fact from an expert. These enemies of the Muslims do not care whether those they define as Muslims are Sunnis or Shiite, followers of which of the imams of the Sunnis or Shiahs or the innumerable imams whose interpretations have resulted in the emergence of the different and differing sects of Islam. To the detractors and enemies of Islam and the Muslims, they are all Muslims, followers of the same religion and therefore deserving of the oppressive treatment meted out to them. ....and try to reconcile your Brothers in order to build a strong nation.

INAA LILAHI WA INAA ILAYHI RAAJICUUN. SAMIRA IYO IIMAAN ISAGANA ILAAHAY JANNADA HA KA WARAABIYO .. AAMMIIN

One of the presenters of thebook (M.D Afrax) said I would choose: Soomaaliya: Maxaa Dheelliyey? as a main name of the book and not Katandhabaale and i actually agree with him since katan-dhabaale is the way in which the author wants to deliver his message and not the end. but because the author is QORAA RUUGCADDA AH we have to keep as it is. Caamir Sxb. Kaftan means Humor and Dhable means Serious. The author means this is a Humor but it's serious So, if you read the you'll be entertained but he means what he is saying.

Jamal Sxb. What about if we DENY this dependence addict society and develop our own NEW NATIONALITY which should nithing to do WHITH this name SOMALI. I think this will be the case in the near future and the first evidence is the FISH & CHIPS society, so we must have our own name similar to them. Thre generations 1. Somails who depend on their ADEER and ABTI 2. ........ who want to change this dependency 3. FISH & CHIPS who doesn't speak our language and have their own STANDARDS. :cool:

Can you as an individual, after thinking rationally of social, clan and familial relations, develop an idependent identity that is purely consensual, that no longer adheres to biological/animalistic lineage but rather on your own consent? Jamal Sxb. this is very difficult question. In our EASTERN culture it is very difficult to create your own identity without, at least, lending some powers or weaknesses from your biological lineage. even if you insist that you want to develop your own identity without deriving anything from your lineage, nobody would believe you. therefore I think it's more to do with the society than to individuals since we brought up this dependecy (theory).

Maclimuu Sxb. Thanks Again. Macalimuu Nayreere was good leader, when he left the country the GDP was $880 and when he was challenging WB & IMF Tanzania's GDP drop down to $420. I read the book The Lexus and the olive tree / by Thomas Friedman, he is an extreem Globalist and Liberal Democrat advocate, on the other hand he is ignorant at some extent for example when he is saying: " People can talk about alternatives to the free-market and global integration, they can demand alternatives, they can insist on a “third way,†but for now none is apparent " (Thomas Friedman 2000:103), as he is the only one in this world who knows what is good for us and future generation, he also forgot his friend F. Fukuyama who now retreated almos all his ideas in his book "The end of History", so we may see this guy, who is young enough, within the next several years will say I was wrong when i said this or that. Mr Macalimuu, I am also not far from this field (globalisation, IR, etc,) so let's share the knowldege and the news of this field and I also urge Jamal-11, Barwaaqo and others to contribute this thread and finally it would be good idea if you changed the name of the thread since many nomads wouldn't interest the lexus and olive tree unless they see what it contains. finally, do not forget to add the list my favourite author, journalist and documentry maker John Pilger.

Macalimuuu, Thanks very much indeed it was very useful article. I would appreciate if you could provide the LINK. I just want to add what former President of Tanzania, Mwalimu (Macalimuu) Julius Nyerere said In 1998, a year before his death. Mwalimu (Macalimuu) Julius Nyerere met with top-level staff at the World Bank in Washington. "Why have you failed?" the World Bank experts asked him. Nyerere answered: "The British Empire left us a country with 85 per cent illiterates, two engineers and 12 doctors. When I left office, we had 9 per cent illiterates and thousands of engineers and doctors. I left office 13 years ago. Then our income per capita was twice what it is today; now we have one-third less children in our schools and public health and social services are in ruins. During these 13 years, Tanzania has done everything that the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund have demanded." And Nyerere passed the question back to the World Bank experts: "Why have you failed†:rolleyes: :confused: :eek:

Only for those in UK, if you missed the 1st part (like me) don't miss the 2nd and the 3rd part of this TV programme "The Power of Nightmares". The Second part: Tonight at 9:00 pm on BBC2 Further details: The Power of Nightmares: The Phantom Victory (Part 2 of 3) Second of three documentaries about the use of fear for political gain. This edition looks at two groups, the American Neoconservatives and the Radical Islamists, who came together to fight the Soviet Union in Afghanistan. Subsequently, the Neocons focussed their ire on Clinton while the Islamicists continued a cycle of violence to try to win support. The machinations of these two groups has led to the climate of fear we live in today. Time: 21:00 to 22:00 (1 hour long). When: Wednesday 27th October on BBC 2 Third part: The Power of Nightmares: Shadows in the Cave (Part 3 of 3) Last of three documentaries about the use of fear for political gain. This edition looks at how the neoconservatives reconstructed the Islamists as a sinister worldwide terrorist force run by bin Laden in his lair in Afghanistan. The film makes it clear that while dangerous groups inspired by extreme Islamist ideas do exist, the nightmare vision of a uniquely powerful hidden organisation waiting to strike our societies is an illusion. Time: 21:00 to 22:00 (1 hour long). When: Wednesday 3rd November on BBC 2 Those outside the Uk browse here: http://www.guardian.co.uk
