loool, are you serious? Please explain exactly how i am directly benefitting from the war in afghanistan. I am grateful for the opportunities given to me by Canada, but like millions of my fellow Canadians and North Americans I'm opposed to the wars in Iraq and afghanistan, and the one looming in Iran.

Nin-yaaban ileen waxaad tahay simpleton. How can you draw a moral equivalence between living amongst gaalos, and joining an occupying force that kills and maims innocent civilians? That makes absolutely no sense wat so ever.

Ahlan wa sahlan wa marxaban bika yaa malik al-jareer.

This self-hating piece of trash joins an oppressive occupying force that terrorizes afghan civilians daily to prove that she isn't a terrorist to American bigots , all the while paradoxically claiming to be a devout Muslim. The irony is almost too much to bear.

I've truly lost respect for a couple of you who I used to hold in high esteem. I can't believe any of you would condone this. Wallahi its mind boggling.

loool Che waa runtaa walaal, maanta si baan u kacsanahay. Waanigaa hada seeftii galkeeda ku celiyay.

ohhh, Muran! Sorry che. I thought u were calling me a mutant, lool.

lol @ maseerkii reer hawdka. I practically raised my sisters and have an extremely strong bond with them, so i can't even fathom them ever bringing a guy i wouldn't approve of, never mind an ajanabi. I shouldn't have used the word dictate in the other post, i meant to say I have the power to approve or disapprove their choices.

Because i dont like it Blessed, okay? lol But at the end of the day it's thier God givne right like you've said, and there's nothing me or anyone can do to change that. All I can dictate is the choices of the women folk in my immediate family.

The union is xalaal ofcourse, but what need is there to marry ajanabi? That's what I dont understand. I know countless educated, diin focused, good looking and professional Somali brothers who are bachelors. This myth that there aren't good Somali men out there is just that; a myth.

*Blessed;874275 wrote: If you think about it, all of the sahaabis were converts....not saying current converts are on the same level.. but a Muslim is a muslim and you'll find good/bad whatever their path to Islam. They were converts, but the women they married were Arabs so there wasn't an issue. Read what some well known Arab scholars past and present say about Arabs marrying non-Arabs, and you'd be surprised. This whole notion of all that matters is the deen, being propagated by malika and others, is pure baloney. Deen is only one aspect among many that should be considered when one is about to marry.

Ibtisam he explained that he used the term gaalo to denote the cultural divide between him and his co-workers. Working with cadaans and other gaalos and working with fellow somalis is totally different, each calling for different norms and conventions of interacting and doing things.

So Blackflash, not only are u an atheist but ur also an uncle tom. Interesting.

Blackflash, Somalis weren't enslaved because they were and are a fierce nomadic nation, whom the arabs could never subjugate in their wildest dreams even if we had remained pagans. True Somali nomads are volatile, aggressive and xenophobic. It definitely wasn't a misnomer when the British deemed us to be 'The Irish of East Africa', after coming face to face with this proud warrior nation . A love of Freedom and an egalitarian ethos permeates the Somali culture, which precludes the possibilty of enslavement, especially by Arabs, whom mind you the nomads of yore held in low regard as can be seen from some of Sayid Mohamed Abdullah's poems. For heavens sake, he refered to them as 'naags', and you expect us to believe such a people could be our Masters? You got it twisted bro. Far being owned, Somalis themselves actively took part in the flourishing East african slave trade, keeping some of the captured for themselves and selling the rest to the arabs. The northern port city of Zaylac for example was a well established hub for slave trading, with it's importance waning after the British ban on the selling and buying of people was put in to effect.

Not sure bro, but glad u enjoyed it.

In case your curious here it is.

^ How so?

Blue i really wish there was such a thing, I'd quit my job and chill there every day like a ciyaalasuuq lol. Wow Aaliyah ur lucky, I wish i was there. Cawaale is a great fanaan, even though i didnt really like his newest video with the habashi looking girl. The song is is really nice, but the girl wasn't Somali and plus she was half naked.

Im down, when and where?

Funny joke, but theres no equivalence between sex and money. Money can always be made back, not so for virginity.

^ looool, hilarious.

I know the deceased girls brother, and I knew one of the somali guys killed last week. This is a lot to swallow in such a short period of time. May Allah grant all of them Jannah, ameen.
