Wat do u mean by a yaakhi couple?

I agree with Oba, Hobyo beach > berbera beach. And this Alpha guy is still af-soomaali barad after all these years in the motherland? Smh.

I've never heard of the title Fiqi before. I've heard of suldaan, ugaas, garaad, islaan, caaqil and malaaq, but not Fiqi. Congrats to him and beeshiisa nontheless.

.

He's from Burtinle, Mudug.

Ur right Xaaji, it's a very complicated situation.

Wow hobyo beach looks amazing.

Xaaji, before they even consider working with the other opposition groups, should they not first begin including non-cagdheer Somalis into their rebel group? They must make this a soomaali galbeed resistance and make space for all soomaalis living in the kilinka. Change of name and a reshuffle of leadership to represent the clan composition of the region is a must.

Hey Alpha, is there a 5 day or 6 day work week in Somaliland?

Xaaji would make an excellent politician wallahi. The passive agressiveness, the ducking and doging, the subterfuge, he has it all. Ninku caadi maaha.

What makes u say that? That sorta hurts my feelings, seeing that I like to think of myself as a transcendent Somali, above petty clannism.

That, for the future of your children, may mean that they belong to a smaller sub-group within the duriyada But i'm a sand-dweller, how is it possible that i'm a laangaab? I need to have a meeting with the Suldaan of my clan for answers.

My point is not about the reason the Arab pagans are condemned by Muhammad[pbuh] or the Quran , it is about 'Allah' being their (the Arab pagans) god or one of their gods if you like. U calling me a clannist? :eek: I agree with u that He was one of their Gods, i'm just saying that before them and after them monothiests have also worshipped Allah. Referring to as Allah as a 'pagan God' paints an innaccurate picture of a diety worshipped exclusively by polythiests.

Johnny B I always had respect for ur brain power, but I dont know anymore. The Arabs didn't fashion and make an idol named Allah and start worshipping it. Allah is Allah, which is 'The God', the creater and sustainer of the universe. The same God all the biblical prophets worshipped, and the same God that people instinctively cry out for when faced with the specter of death.The pagans understood him as such. The reason the Quran condemns them is for their infidelity and not for disbelief in Allah.

lol, I fail to see how u arrived at such a conclusion. Allah is the God of the montheist Abraham, who is the progenitor of the Arabs. The Arabs worshipped the God of their forefather and through the passage of time began worshipping Idols alongside Allah. There was never an idol named Allah, so He's not a pagan God, but he was most definitely worshipped by both monotheists and pagans alike.

Why yes ofcourse, even the Quran attests to that. No Muslim denies this. The problem was they worshipped their idols alongside Allah. That's what the Messenger was commissioned by God to abolish.

Of course God predates Muahammad (PBUH), what a silly thing to say.

Look how Xisri eagerly greets the Arab in the fourth pic by smiling and using his left arm to grasp the Arab's forearm, while the Arab gives him a very casual salaam. Also, look at the seating posture of the 3 ministers in the sixth pic, it's as if they are school children sitting before a principal, while the Arab looks confident and relaxed, leaning back with his legs crossed. Body langauge can tell us a lot about the power dynamics in any given situation.

Ok, I concede that Mog is more diverse than H-town, and that's how it's supposed to be. Viva Mogadishu.

That Ugandan was on the mark.

^ lol, do u honestly believe that? Cajiib. Waar Carabtaa anaga dirqii nagaga baxsatay, markasaad ku leedahay wayna cabiidsan gaadheen. People don't realize how fierce and independent the nomads of the past were, and many still continue to be.

I not so sure about nasab-ness being directly correlated with laandheernimo. I come from a very nasab subclan within the duriyadda, yet I don't count that many names back to the Old man. It's like 16 names. What does this mean for me and the future of my kids????

Ur biased dee . But to be honest even ur khaatumo folks roll deep in H town. Waar meeshu waa cosmopolitan hadda. Sorry for hijacking ur thread Oba.

Alpha If someone is considered 'nasab' that means he is of the nobility within his society by virtue of birth and not neccessarily by merit.
