maxaa i dhaafay maanta!

Caano, personally I am considerate person (if I am inline for something, and elderly Caano shows up, I would most likely yield and give up my spot), my weakness is that I expect people would play by the books…I can easily be disappointed. In a more serious note, Islam and the values it espouses are missing, if you pardon my generilzation today, in the muslim life. The real irony is a lot of what Islam teaches in terms of fair dealings and tolerance is present in the west---another generalization. i understand some people may fail to resist the urge to critique at the unattractive trends in the west. But that's really missing the point. To be honest i don’t like the direction this thread is heading; lets not focus on personal nadafaad, please. Lets talk about mucaamalaat, common good, and social responsibility, tolerance or at least creating a perception of tolerance...what Islam breaches, and how we behave. Why people can’t take care of their qashin for instance-- and this is more than personal nadaafad mind you, most somalis are good at taking care of themselves, any way. In Nairobi i saw this elegant building going up owned by some xawaalah company, but piles of garbages surround it, and no one seems to care. Perhaps it’s local authority that should’ve picked up the garbage and cleared the streets, but if they are not doing it as it’s apparent, some one tell me why these business men see no need to finance garbage pick up mashruuc. One doctor brother i talked, who regularly goes to Bosaso, told me that people feel no responsibility for doing for these types of things. His prime example was the garbage issue. The other thing he told me was that there is about 15km distance between the new airport and the city, and it’s very rough road. In his estimation few businessmen could build that road if they wanted to but obviously they don’t care. Extortion it seems is the only way known to Somalis, and authorities everywhere use it to fetch revenue to sustain their localities. I think I am veering off topic, but the point I was trying to make is it’s not the jalbaab or the beard or the short trousers that’s strange. What is strange is entire societies being agnostic to the very values they claim to desire in their political outlook. That’s why I liked CRaxman’s lecture (it’s called ghurbatul islam, if anyone is interested). Nadaneey, sidaadii wax soo hurguf , this time we'll take it IA.

Urban, lazim nastamir bihathal muxaadathah. Anaa cayz anjiz bixadiithii fe lughatul carabiyah...inshaa allaah sa umaaris more macaaka ishuufak ghadan IA.
