sheeko kale ay lacag ku helaan miyay waayeen horta ... naagtan dabadeeda banaanka dhigata si loo sawiro miyaad noo aamaanaysaan. 'model' iyo 'prostitute' maxay is dhamaan .. naagta prostituteka ah .. dabadeeda markiiba hal nin baa arka .. meesha naagta model-ka ah dadka oo dhan hal mar wada daawan karaan. :eek: :eek: Such ugly outburst for what? Are you mad because she is a model or Somali or speaking about such Hideous practice of cutting off one's genitals? Would you rather that she didnt speak about an integral part of her childhood and upbringing? Horta maxey nimanka isku qalajiyaan when this practiced is pointed out for what it is? Mideeda kale, to answer your question yes there is a world difference between Prostitution and modeling and you know it! So dont call a girl, specially a Somali sister a whore just because she chooses to wear less clothing. Thats between her and Allah Subxanahu watacaalaa. Also, yes she has an impact on the issue and she should. Who better advocate against any ill practice other than the one who suffered through it? Ayoub, You have no point because you're stating that FGM doesnt work because the sole reason of this practice is to discourage promiscuity or sex itself. Then, how do you know she is promiscuous???

Queen Arawelo(aka Marx, B and his other entourage) has found a potential husband? Yacni, aniga sidaasan u fahmay. Yeah, do JUMP on that bridge to the happyland we call courting.Track him down, bombard him with letters, phone calls, gifts etc.Surely he can still 'talk' to other sisters and you at the same time .

LOL! funny and wise.

Is this a joke? I mean the man sounds so sarcastic."Coupled with patriotism" the flag could be dangerous? And isnt 143 million little too much death for a flag to cause. :confused:

I heard "OWEN, the Hugh Grant character" will take over the role of B. So no worries! Dont believe me? Head to the confession thread. Marx just made the announcement. A deal is in the works.

C & H, Adiga qayladaadaaba ku dhega tireysa!. David Irving-na?. Yuhuudda yaa u tirakoobay in 6m la exterminate gareeyey?. Jews & Nazis waa 2 Gaal, maxaan ugu kalla hiilliyaa?, mise Holocaust inuu Muslim fuliyaad mooddaa? Like I said your emotions get the best of you when it comes to ANYTHING gaal. Unlike you I cant stand back and appreciate Genocide(specially burning children, women and the elderly alive in death factories) and point out that they're Gaalo after the show is over. So no argument here. C&H, he is not only one who says 6million is too much, and since it is an estimate, then there is no need for him to have proof that it is not so, it is a guess and maybe an educated guess, he is doing his own guess work, along with other people. The holocaust argument was used by the Zionist to lay a claim on Palestine and justify even today why they must at all cost have a country of their own. The logical answer is that since Europe was responsible for the holocaust, they should give them a country in Europe, rather than the Zionist now committing a holocaust on Palestinians. There is nothing ****** about this argument either and again has been made by intelligent people since 1947. Ibti dear, even if only 1 million Jews were hunted down like dogs and suffered the Fate they did under Hitler, it would horrify me just as the same. And for a learned and intelligent person like the President of Iran to attempt to minimize such dark event by playing number tags just makes to regard him confused. Yes the Holocaust was used to justify taking Palastinian land which is undeniably unfair. Yes the Jews and the West play that card too often. Yes, what they're doing now is not that much better than what Hitler did. BUT, we have to remember that all these decisions were made AFTER the genocide. Millions didnt die such horrible deaths(jews or not) on purpose so that they can claim some land.

morning folks. Ibti calm down.

Si kastood u sharaxdo ama u qurxiso, it still stinks. Faarax, LOL! Why keep it to yourselves? What are you hiding, would be my second question. Canjeex I never took you the kind to support qudbo siro. Oh well..

The number, 6 million is an estimate considering how many Jews disappeared after the war was over. Does he have evidence to refute it? Of course not. No one claims Palastinians caused it horta. It just made him sound more confused. All I see is an intelligent man who likes controversy, sort of like Bush and his weird speeches. Maadeey, Your hatred for anything GAAL overwhelms your senses so no argument from me. Of course some Catholic priests deny it because it is an embarrassment really, specially since they practiced their own genocide and expressed anti-semite statements all throughout.

AND? What part of traveling or being a salesman or being in love prevents you from si sharaf leh inaad familka ugu imaado? Dumarka la qudbo sireyso waa masaakimiin me thinks!

LOL!! Nin ku dhaco ma jiro inuu sheekadaa iila yimaado. Besides my generation doesnt practice qudbo siro. DUKE, It is more or less like that. I mean what else could it mean? What could he possibly say?

Well, he lost me@ "The Holocust didnt happen." Anyone who blatantly refuses to deny reason and facts is a nutjob in my book.It aint like WWII was a century ago, it just happened. People who fought in the war are still alive. Also, he likes to be outrageous for the sake of starting controversy.

Wixi la qariyo qurun baa ku jira, ma fahanteen. Koley anigu diiday. Marriage should be celebrated and yes the woman is being used because maxaa ku kalifay in a man comes to a woman and says to her, "listen here, I dont want anyone to know I'm your husband but I'm your husband"? And whoever accepts that shit must be at a low-point.

The Iranian president is a nut-basket you would love to hate but can't because he is so entertaining and undeniably intelligent. I think he does this to confuse world leaders. But I dare say, he put that guy in his place. Stupidh fooqul stupidh! Did he really think the president was going to admit even if he was hosting Bin Laden??

calaashan specially to North pole she needs muxrim, miyaa? She is very pretty. And very courageous.

Ilaahay wuxuu u qadaray ma dhaafeyso. The fact is she is providing an invaluble service laakiinse she is dealing with xayawaano hub la siiyey. May Allah subxanuhu watacaala reward her for her kindness and get her out this mess.

I think Qudbo siro is a dirty thing and should be banned. Marriage is supposed to be celebrated. It is even Sunna to be celebrated. I think women get cheated when they allow men to do the hush-hush thing.

Definition of Tolerance: allowance: a permissible difference; allowing some freedom to move within limits Definition of Religion Tolerance: willingness to recognize and respect the beliefs or practices of others Tolerance doesnt mean I'll attend Sunday Mass with you at your Episcopalian church and you attend Friday prayer with me at my local Mosque. Tolerance means, I recognize your faith and I respect you as a fellow human being. So I'm confused when people, "progressive" people are insulted if I dont want to go to hold hands and sing. Accusations of intolerance fly and any practicing Muslim is labeled extremist.

Lets just hope you're not an English teacher. A statement is understood by the way it's written. If she is protesting that she is not a gaal but at the same time says that a gaalo faith is her favourite then it must mean that it is really her second favourite. If you say so Ps..I'm an English teacher.

I personally think the Hinduism has a very old and fascinating history and like to read about it from time to time. So is Hinduism your favourite?

Perhaps, the parents should push for extensive research to be done,this could easily be about the differences in child raring practices, and what is considered 'normal' behavioural characterists of children in the west. A complex matter never the less! More and more Somali children are being diagnoised with Autism,I think it is important that we push for more research..this is after all our children's lives,future at stake. I know. This is a big issue in our community. We have stigma attached to disability wether it is learning, behavior or mental. I think it is mostly envioronmental.Research is finding a lot about Autism and its causes. They're looking closely at chemicals in the food such artificial flavors and food coloring. There is a lot of backlash and fear in the teaching profession. It's not as easy to diognose as people think. Teachers who are the primary observants sadly are very careful for referral. I see lots of situations where parents feel ashamed to admit their child might have a problem and they opt to refuse service . As I shared before, my little sister(who just turned 11)was diognosed with Autism when she was in first grade. As a baby and as a toddler, we didnt notice ANY difference. We attributed her lack of understanding certain boundaries(things like touching people, going off with them)to her friendliness. And because she is the youngest, my mother insisted on doing EVERYTHING for her so we didnt catch the fact that she couldnt tie her shoes and would get so painfully frustrated with the process she would throw a fit EVERYTIME. Anyways when the social workers came, my mother fueled by people decided to refuse service. It took me a while. But I did research after research. I got her tapes and showed her some of the symptoms. For instance, my sister couldnt pay attention more than 40seconds no matter the task. I couldnt instruct her to bring a glass of water. She would cry because it was so frustrating for her. Finally my mother decided to consent for assessment. We're glad she did. My sister received therapy and especial education until 3rd grade. Her social skills improved so much. She isnt an angry child anymore. She receives straight A's and passing all tests. She does math and science particulary well. And she is into baking so she measures everything! I would love for our community to understand that a child can be helped. It's not about labeling although sometimes, lazy teachers do lable quickly so they can pass off that child to another teacher.

In your haste to silence the voice of plurality and religious diversity, you want to categorise people into two binary categories – Muslim or gaalo. This is very simplistic my dear and indeed reflective of your ignorance. Simplistic huh? :confused: Oo hada, you can't be asked wether you're a Muslim or not miyaa? Reer magaalnimo dhaaftay reer magaalnimo dheh! You deversify your beliefs like bonds?

If she said that her favourite religion is Catholicism, I would be feeling as disturbed as you are. But that is not what she said. She actually finished that sentence with talk about her not being a gaal-lover or a gaal. That Catholicism is her second favourite religion is implied in that sentence. Cut the mad one some slack, people. I see. When you say "my favorite" in the English language, it just means Number UNO! Hadaase i leedahay gurigan gubtay gas ha ku sii qaban, gartay Adiga bal reerka u odayee. I didnt say anything. Cat got my tongue All I could muster was to each their own.

Party popper,it was getting entertaining how everyone is trying to convince each other they are tolerant,are free thinkers and mostly can debate as free range rationalists..Lol Wallahi this is so entertaining My favourite religion in the world is Catholicism because its very complex and its history fascinates me since its inception but this does not make me a 'gaalo lover' or a 'gaal' for that matter. So, why is that so difficult to understand or even accept as an answer? :confused: :confused: This statement is somewhat disturbing but to each their own. B I would advice you to close your mouth for a second and let it connect to your brain for a feedback. LG atleast knows whats she is doing and she is at take-no-prisoners stage. But you just sound, ehem.. disconnected. All religions are not equal. Islam IS superior!. If you doubt that, then re-evaluate your allegiance. :mad:

For a moment there when I read "Starbucks Dads" I thought she was going to target Minnesota. There is a huge problem here at Starbucks, especially in the South Minneapolis area. There is one Starbucks where we used to live thats so overcrowded with Somali men, I heard they use sound meter! It is open later and is full ANY time of the day, evening, month, year. The other day I drove way uptown to buy my latte from a Starbucks thats located at a corner, hidden, nowhere near a Somali neighborhood just to avoid the stares of men. I havent been there for a couple of months. I walked in and what do I see? Groups of Somali men clustered around the window, chatting away in the middle of the freaking afternoon. Ughhh!!!! I felt sad as everyonelse who went in there bought their coffee and left except the Somalis.
