Bro, Ittaqillah, why do you have to eat your brothers' flesh, in yawm alqiyamah you'll be asked about your actions. Have you asked yourself why hell will be majority women, even though as men we do more physical harm, its because of the tongue. Backbiting is considered one of the worst sins, and as muslims we're supposed to hide our sins and the sins of our brothers. As muslims telltailing is looked down upon and considered a bad trait.

Do you believe iimaan increases and decreases or is it static and one level? Ittaqillah bro, watch your tongue over the dead, for you just ate your bros flesh. As a somali and as a muslim you should know we never talk bad about the dead, so wateva wrong he did, leave it to his master. And second thing the Imam rh was a great individual that fought for his rights like a real man, not in the comfort of the west. Anyways wasn't it his place of birth America that teaches about fighting for what is yours cuz no1 will hand your rights to u without a fight. I cant see why one american is 'defending his nation' and the other guy is a terrorist. And I know alot of people that would actually befriend these that bombed our people aka veterans. And for those pacifists Im talking abt the fight against drone attacks not jihad.

Asc, your brother here looking for any contacts in the gem business in europe, I'll be able to get gems from back home but the business is so shady without connections. Insha allah will make dua for you.

Salaam Bro is there is anyway to contact your boy. I'm trying to get into the rare gem business, too scared of the diamond business. I'll be forever grateful.
