^ @xaaji Just goes to show the level of ignorance of those "advisers" who surrounded him.

As for it being xaraam, nothing is that black and white saaxib . I agree with you. In my understanding the Hadith is for the heterosexual men who deliberately dress as women and is not against those people with gender identity issues.

Anyone who thinks Siyaad Barre (the man who signed away the entire Somali galbeed) was a defender of Somali unity should not be taken seriously

^^ Somaliland-Somalia issue is different to those of Sudan-South Sudan and Ethiopia-Eriteria on the following points: 1. Somaliland and Somalia have defined borders inherited from the colonial powers unlike the other two regions. 2. Somaliland is willing to be friends with and work closely with Somalia for our mutual benefit. 3. Unlike Ethiopia and Sudan losing ports and oil, Somalia will not lose any apparent economic advantages if Somaliland's sovereignty is recognised by the international community.

I don't know what the Shia Muslims in Iran base their Islamic laws on, but according to the shariah law it is not permissible for a man to dress as a woman. Therefore, both the Iranian police and the protesters are breaking that law and hence sinning.

The consumers of such low moral “cultural" servings is what lead to the weakening of the Somali moral fiber which inevitable meant the nation couldn't defend itself from its foes. What is your definition of morals and what do you base your morals on? Please explain it to us because personally I derive my moral standards from the Islamic faith.

Plays make arguments and always carry a social message. I found the online and will watch later in the week, so I'll have more thoughts then. I've always been interested in how ideas on women and gender circulate in Somali oral literature and popular music, and how those ideas have shifted over time. Very well said. You are very academic safferz. I like your take on things.

Waar this coffin never closes;)

^ Yes we do live in that blessed triangle. We also live in a square, rectangle, circle, cylinder, and trapezium. The ancient Greeks were indeed inspired by our magical shapes. So what is your point buddy?:confused:

^ You are right Oba. Somalia desperately needed a humble guy like him and he came into the scene at the right time.

Xaaji as Somalilanders we love all our fellow Somalis regardless of the size of their villages. Somalinimo is part of our national character.

I heard Sheekh Shariif will be given the post of professor of air travel and tourism at Harvard;) He is a good guy though.

^ Dee saa dheh. Your house is a mini UN;)

Maashaa Allah, the bond of brotherhood between Somalia and Somaliland will grow inshaa Allah. Please don't interpret this goodwill gesture from the Mogadishaawis into tribalism. The same will be done between Hargeisa and Garowe too God willing.

You guys are trying to reason/argue with a collective guilty conscience that needs deniability for various reasons Here comes the various anecdotes: "I knew of XYZ of the SNM clan who participated in Siyaad's military, etc." You are right Mintid. It is a waste of time to reason with the Neanderthals. Instead you just drive them out of the human civilisation and into their sh!t holes.
