The victors always dictate history and rewrite it in their own language. Che, Are you back from your world tour?

You are the Yang. The mercy that is needed and Apo is the Ying with his unapologetic truthful comments. Both sides are needed for balance.

Mandela, scandal, fraud. Anyone know about that? Your tears are manufactored consent and emotions. If the media tells you to cry then you cry. If the media tells you to hate someone then you hate them. If the media tells you that Clinton was a saint then you nod in agreement. If the media tells you that Hassan is a terrrorist then you nod your head in agreement with no questions asked. Hey better be Hasaan then my Clan - right?

Saff, Photojournalism is self serving and does not need a discussion to prove that. The proof is in the pictures. As for the Pultizer Prize winner, he has secured his trip to جهنم. I agree with Apo on this point and many other points. If you have have good health and sanity and more than one pair of clothes, then you are blessed. Don't validate shaytanic thoughts and whispers. Depression is a normal emotional state ل ةحزن اِن اللهُ معنَ, but suicidal thoughts are satanic and lead to a dark and downward spiral.

وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰ رَبَّنَا إِنَّكَ آتَيْتَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَأَهُ زِينَةً وَأَمْوَالًا فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا رَبَّنَا لِيُضِلُّوا عَن سَبِيلِكَ رَبَّنَا اطْمِسْ عَلَىٰ أَمْوَالِهِمْ وَاشْدُدْ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ فَلَا يُؤْمِنُوا حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُا الْعَذَابَ الْأَلِيمَ And Musa said: Our Lord! surely Thou hast given to Firon and his chiefs finery and riches in this world's life, to this end, our Lord, that they lead (people) astray from Thy way: Our Lord! destroy their riches and harden their hearts so that they believe not until they see the painful punishment. That is the dua that Musa made for فرعون. Being gentle initially and being gentle after being spat on are two different things. Let us not confuse the two.

So saff, do you have an issue with Aussies then? What is a little cly compared to the Black widow? lol

Where does the comparison lay in a debtor that asked for his money back? Surely, you are not implying that we should ignore our responsibilities that we have with others because they are disrespectful or harsh towards us? Pay your debt and fulfill your obligations. There is no tolerance towards disrespect. The incident comes to mind when Umarً(رضى الله عنه) wanted the Badr captives to be excuted but the Prophet(صل الله عليه وسلم) wanted to ransom them off. A sign of forgiveness and mercy. Guess who intervened and took Umar's side?

Don't acknowledge your dark sides. Misery loves company. You need someone to actually give you a reality check on were you stand compared to others. Go visit a hospital and visit the terminally ill and you will gain some perspective.

Saff just needs and dare I say it - A Man. I think that she would be supportive and would give deference to her man. She is a likeable and brave nomad. Anyways, what is your latest essay on anyways?

How do you respect someone that mocks your identity and values? I have no respect for someone that disrespects what is beloved to me. Kufr and Iman don't mix.

Just like Karazi, stealing away money and getting fatter.

They succeeded on many levels. Can we say the same about countries that are liberal democratic? Do you critique them with the same lenses or do you just litter all the time?

Bur, I didn't know that you could recycle your own litter. Litter is not recycable so quit littering all over SOL.

When you have Desire+Motivation+Will, you can overcome lackadiscal tendencies. You draw up all the plans that you want but if you lack the desire to do something then you will also lack the will power to finish that task in a timely manner.

Alpha, You forget one large group - the Idiotss that talk too much! And I am definitely not a Salafi. Dr. K, I was responding to Allyourbase.

Jac, You are still part and parcel of the corruption that plagues All Somalis. All Somali govs are crooks.

Magic, They would still take their narrative willingly because Massa told them that they would get rewarded for doing so and get a chance to eat next to Massa someday. House Negreos have a permanent inferiority and identity crisis.

If what is واجب is not being adhered to than there are penalities for it. If someone is caught selling illegal drugs, aren't they punishable by the state? If yes, then why the double standard here with your asnine questioning. Unless ofcourse, you hold a double standard e.g. What is part of Islam you don't want to follow but what is between your legs - you would follow anytime!

Dr. Edna Ismail is a valuable asset to all Somalis in terms of her medical knowledge.

Futurenow, You described the arrogance of the champions of liberal modern thinking. Meaning that they feel an "intellectual" right is given to them to frame the question, define the problem when they are part and parcel of the problem and dictate to the rest what the "only" valid options are that are available for developing a solution. Saff wants to define the problem (muslims being forced to follow any part of Islam) and the options for resolution (re-education and re-examination of classical islamic thought because classical islamic thought is too regressive and sexist) and to give us a solution (make your own personal choices so long as she and her dominant imperialistic worlview can accept those choices). You can't define racism or xenophobia for us when you are part of and in suppport of the privileged group and all the perks that come with it e.g. 5 star vacations in Ecuador when the majority there don't make more than your hourly min. per hour wage in a day.

Where are the pro-hijabi sisters these days? If you chose to disobey God OPENLY and PROUDLY, then where can we establish trust and respect. Those things become interchangable and relative based on our emotions and thoughts. Love me today and despise me tomorrow best describes that wave of emotions. It is not acceptable to spread فُسُق (moral corruption) openly.

Saf Sometimes, you blow a lot of hot air. Hey, at least your heating costs go down

if you are young and with a beard and with white teeth, then you will be a suspect by association.

Never knew that Miles Davis was a bad man! How in the world did you find out that memo?

On the authority of Abi Mas’ud Uqbah ibn Amr al-Ansari al-Badree (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: The Messenger of Allah (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “From the words of the previous Prophets that the people still find are: If you feel no shame, do as you wish” Reported in Bukhari حياء (shyness/modesty) is a charateristic of تقوا (piety). When a heart becomes rusty with forgetfulness of one's self, it loses piety. When piety is lost, then shyness and modesty are forgetton. There is a lack of sense of accountability and maturity in Saff's post. Not every ludacrious idea that emerges in our heads needs to become a post. There are limits and there is xiishood that a young lady like yourself should practice. After all, it is the quality of shyness that is admired in a women's feminine beauty. Sexuality is to be discussed in private and not in the publiv domain and just because they discussed it in the miyi does not make such a topic acceptable for public discussion.
