These future leaders understand that it’s my hat, my choice. A traditional Somali would never utter such words. A Somali represents their clan no matter were they are and you can not bring shame to your clan by ranting like that. The <b> my choice motto</b> is a nafsani/self-centered motto. All in all the article is pure garbage.

Johnnny B, For the record, I said that he had a learning disability. Offbase, Where did you get those amazing gifs from?

Offbase, Thanks for proving my point about you and your severe learning disability. I feel so sorry for you.

If you are on a spaceship, that may be possible albeit a little difficult for the ship to point towards earth. If on another planet or moon, then you can't face the earth do to gravity's pull. You have lost your orientation all together and are an alien on another surface. The fact that it doesn't sound like an idiotic idea to some of you does baffle me. Caajib!

He is so pitch black and malnutritioned.

Well, how would you perform your salat? What direction would you face? You would be cut off from you roots and the deen protects our roots and identity. I mean if you don't know where you are from then how could you ever reorient yourself. The idea is ludicrous.

The incident in which a man who was from a tribe that was aligned with Quraysh comes to mind. That man was caught and when he was caught, he professed to have accepted Islam. The reply to him was that if he had been in a position of power and not a prisoner and had accepted Islam then his Islam would have been accepted. Rather, he professed Islam after he was caught. The point being that what is in the heart is expressed outwardly. If you are choosing Islam then you would show signs of that e.g. modest dress; hijab; renouncing a singing career etc Islam is not a marriage of convienance and it shouldn't be cheapened.

So what can these new recommendations change for these Somali kids? A world that has them growing up as the lowest social class; single mothered; stigmatized; marginalized and labelled as pirates or terrorists. Remove systemic racial barriers for Somali men to get quality jobs so that they can keep their families intact and be viewed as role models instead of losers. Hell, offer more grants to Somali kids so that they could be encouraged to go to school instead of worrying about next month's rent or food bill.

Man, the deen has been cheapened. These 10 seconds Shahadas belittle the value of Islam. Don't convert because of social pressures because then your heart won't be in the deen and you will end up leaving it sooner or later.

Those girls need a can of south asian style whopping. I couldn't finish the video. It is a mockery of Islam.

Please don't wear the hijab while you are smoking, drinking, being promiscuous or at a club or concert or when you use the "F" word more than the Wolf of Wall Street.

They should have consulted with the original Somali 5-0 aka Nin Yaabin.

So it appears that people the selection process for the Mars trip is getting narrower. The launch date being in 2023. So can you guess what the selected group will look like?

So hardly anyone is posting. It looks like many people are having log in and posting issues along with pm's. Please list browsers that you are using and having difficulty with. Admin., could you list some of the new user friendly features that the new site has.

I am having a problem with posting too. Could we change the default font type and size?

So what is the verdict on the new site

Hey Offbase, Go kick rocks and find another hobby and if you can't understand what I just said to you then you can ask your boss for help. Afterall, you do have a learning disability.

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا سَوَاءٌ عَلَيْهِمْ أَأَنذَرْتَهُمْ أَمْ لَمْ تُنذِرْهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ Surely those who disbelieve, it being alike to them whether you warn them, or do not warn them, will not believe. خَتَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَعَلَىٰ سَمْعِهِمْ وَعَلَىٰ أَبْصَارِهِمْ غِشَاوَةٌ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ Allah has set a seal upon their hearts and upon their hearing and there is a covering over their eyes, and there is a great punishment for them. وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَن يَقُولُ آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَبِالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَمَا هُم بِمُؤْمِنِينَ And there are some people who say: We believe in Allah and the last day; and they are not at all believers. يُخَادِعُونَ اللَّهَ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَمَا يَخْدَعُونَ إِلَّا أَنفُسَهُمْ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ They desire to deceive Allah and those who believe, and they deceive only themselves and they do not perceive.

Offbase, I am sorry about your over stay in grammar school and no for the last time, I will not give you a recommendation to graduate.

Is he still alive? He is a very boring lecturer but says some good things.

Offbase, I think that you have a learning disability. It is not the fault of Islam that you can not understand the Quran and Hadith. I feel sorry for you. انت مريضٌ جِداً Good luck with your search for carpets!

Guje, You are either D & D or D & B In either case, I now understand you more.

That letter is not professionally written. It is a trashy letter. Where did you get it from?

Bagpacking is a privilege and one that is used by selfish, rich and privileged individuals. While the rest of the world starves, a bagpacker spends thousands to peak at those "starving people" during the day and by night, sip a latte and write a blog about their experience. I have seen countless Somalis get rejected at airports even when they carried passports of western countries. In the colonial era, the colonisers would often bagpack to your "home land" and return to theirs with zebra heads as their mantles.

So how does General Duke win? He was never around? Ibti and Jb hardly post on here. They have been fired by Siilanyo and currently don't have internet access. Saff is a troller. Alpha is a troller. This whole thing was a sham. Recall and recount.
