Salaamz, No body caresssss about religion in Somalia, people just care about Food and Shelter. Look at who the people accepted to lead them, he certainely doesn't look like his priority is deen. So your question walaal is worthless b/c there is hardly anyone to ask that really gives two shingles about religious diversity in somalia or anything that has to do with religion and somalis get the kind of leaders they DESERVE!!! :mad:

But then thats why tey say (good girls like bad guys and bad girls like good guys)....or is it? wareer badanaa!!! SO TRUE SAXIBBB! I can relate to that from my own experiences.

Salaamz, I can't help but put my 2cents into this... Ladies are turned on by a man when he is WANTED BY MANY LADIES!!! :eek:

Originally posted by Tamina: So, to the contrary, we need more than ever muslim journalists and film makers, etc. The media world is an undiscovered territory and muslims should see the potential it holds. Don't you think? Salaamz, I disagree, I have worked in the world of journalism and media and it serves it own purpose and is and has always been a tool to promote the STATE and the IDEOLOGY of the STATE. (Sounds Totalatarian? :eek: ) But we live in a Democractic world right, none of dat DARK AGE business? Just flip throught the channels, your local papers,internet sites and local radio and tell me what messages do you hear? Are they not of a similiar Message with a similiar Tone and even Language? Inshallah, if you notice that and what theme they carry with it and why they are given the 'FREEDOM' to 'STAY IN BUSINESS' den, inshallah, you might be able to seeee what I seee. If you are in a position to be Daee in Islam, in a position of Dawah, going the route of Media or your own MEDIA whether it is Videos,movies,Internet etc.. is not the wayyy to go about. Just let your CHARACTER do the DAWAH for YOU and the DEEN, INSHALLAH! I remember an ayah in the Quran wherein Allah (subhanahu wataala) tells the Rasul (salallahu caliyhe wasilm) that If He were to have All the Correction Situations i.e. Tribal alliances,Peace, Money etc., he (the rasul) would still not be able to UNITE the HEART of the BELIEVERS, but it is Allah that Unites and Guides!!! (If anyone has the exact quote, feel free to ref. to it inshallah) In anycase, the point is, you want to Participate in something with FALSE HOPES and Illusions. Why go to 20/20 for? What u gotta prove to people? He sang for them for the 9-11 benefit concert and on many occasions spoken agains 'terrorism'. Why in the world should u still HUMULIATE yourself? :confused: Fi Amanillah

Salaamz, MUSLIMS ARE ****** !!!! Why do Muslims CATER to the MEDIA's Inquistions/Interviews etc.??? I'm sorry but I don't have sympathy for any muslim that talks to the Mediaaaa and La Qadraaaa Allah, that day doesn't happen for any nomad. Fi Amanillah

Salaamz, from what I've heard from other married couples -PROBLEMS ALWAYS SEEM TO EXIST BTWN HUSBAND'S MOTHER AND THE WIFEEEEEY! Its a STRANGE PHENOMENAAAA! Caajib walaahi! :eek: It can be explained but there will always be problems, just be patient (isbir!) I don't though that ANY MOTHER would cause such a distrubance with her son's family to the extent that her son would become divorced. Its caeeb for the mother to have a child of hers become divorced, so don't worry Sis, she's just SHOWING YOU LUV DIFFERENTLY IN HER OWN WAYYY Fi Amanillah

Woman spends a month caged with 6,000 scorpions New record holder will remain on display in mall until Saturday KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — A Malaysian woman has broken a world record by enduring 32 days enclosed in a glass box with 6,069 scorpions, suffering seven stings in the process, her sponsor said Tuesday. Nur Malena Hassan, 27, will remain in the case, on display in a shopping mall in the eastern city of Kuantan, until Saturday, said Bohari Rahmat, whose biscuit company sponsored the stunt. Late Monday, Nur Malena surpassed the previous record held by Kanchana Ketkeaw from Thailand, who spent 31 days in a glass box with 3,400 scorpions, Bohari said. Bohari said he hadn't talked to Nur Malena since she reclaimed her record, which she first won in 2001 by living for 30 days with 2,700 scorpions. "We don't want her to lose focus, thinking that this is enough," Bohari said. "If we can reach 36 days, it will be more difficult for someone else to beat us next time." Sujatah Nair, a spokesperson for the Malaysia Book of Records, said video and other documentation were being sent to the Guinness Book of Records. Nur Malena, nicknamed Scorpion Queen in this Southeast Asian country, has been stung seven times by the poisonous arachnids since she began the stunt. "She was stung on her leg three times last Wednesday and could not walk, but she's recovered," Bohari said. "She left the room on Saturday for two minutes to cut a cake and celebrate her 27th birthday." Otherwise, she has left the room only once a day for a 15-minute bathroom break. Nur Malena has built up resistance to stings after five years of training, but can pass out if stung three times within a short span. A doctor has remained on standby to treat her if necessary. Thousands of Malaysians have visited the mall to observe Nur Malena in the room, where she sleeps, eats and performs Muslim prayers, moving very carefully to avoid upsetting her dangerous roommates. With all the Scorpians, she still does Salat and holds her Wudu for the WHole day except for 15minutes. Amazingggg! :eek: Masha Allah, you goooo girl! What do you think of her people?

Salaamz, You know what Secularism argues about in this point is the question of 'CAN YOU REGULATE/CONTROL MORALITY?' Secularism's response is-What people do in their HOUSES, is non of 'OUR BUSINESS'. The state can not control morality in otherwords and how we can we judge, if we are but HUMANS that error too, right! I'm sure u've heard the phrase 'Only God can Judge Me' The Islamic View-What you do IN YOUR HOME affects SOCIETY. Why? B/c you are part of the muslim ummah and every muslim is part of that house (the house of Islam) which is constructed on SOLID foundations (Quran and Sunnah) with many different BRICKS (Muslims). So it should actually be a SHOCK to a MUSLIM to see a Muslim Majority state actually not BANNING what is HARAM in the first place. Fi Amanillah

I mean there are many other example. Another example, I was at my co-op work and I started to think "what if someone I knew died"?.......The question just poped out of the green. I start to feel a feeling of sadness come over me....I decide to call some-body so I can escape this feeling and the first thing my friend says to me is " Guess who died"?......That is totally scary..... So tell me is this normal.............and do any of you have this problem......Solutions would be helpful aswell............. RAVEN is that YOU!!! Didn't you promise that you wouldn't SHARE YOUR VISIONS anymore :rolleyes: Intuition is maybe what you are talking about walaal and that you know comes with Wisdom over time. What you might be experiencing is 'Deja Vu' but seems like its only about Negative Experiences. So, I would guess that some of it is You fooling yourself, meaning your shaytan playing tricks on you. This is just mostly a guess, so don't take it to Heart. Make du'a inshallah and read quran, when ever you need clarification on matters. Fi Amanillah

Originally posted by Damsel: I think I see that most of the women who want to be a wife, mother, and a bussinesswoman expect thier future hubbies to agree to their demands and dont want him to expect them to change for him. Laakin they also expect a man whose opinon of a wife is to stay home and cook, to change for them and accept her working and etc. THIS CANNOT WORK AND IS NOT FAIR. You dont want to change for him...laakin you expect him to change? Saas miyaa? YOu cant change a person...to be happy you have to find someone who agrees with ur views and isnt uncomfortable with u bringing home the beef too. Thats my wifeyyyy right thuuuur! Macaanti, I got that Tiffany's Diamond ring you wanted on Lay Awayyyy for YOU! Speakn On it, Sistah! Preach on Shiekhaaa! I got your back!

Originally posted by Rahima: Khayr, in a bid to be macho brother, you are trampling on the teachings of Islam. There is no harm in a man helping his wife with the house duties (it takes a real man to do so), for two reasons: 1.Rasulallah used to help his wives with the household duties, and 2.It is not compulsory for a Muslim wife to do household choirs. Hadiths: "The best of you are they who behave best to their wives." "The best among you is the best in his treatment of his household, and I am the best of you in my treatment of my household." Salaamz, Narrated Ibn 'Umar: The Prophet said, "All of you are guardians and are responsible for your wards. The ruler is a guardian and the man is a guardian of his family ; the lady is a guardian and is responsible for her husband's house and his offspring; and so all of you are guardians and are responsible for your wards." Bukhari What do I concurr/learn from this hadith? -MAN is Guardian of his family -Women is a guardian and responsible for her 'Husband's House' and 'His Offspring' -Both are Guardians and they both have DEFINED ROLES (confusion in this part is a new age thing!) So contrary to how some want to TWIST my words, here is one proof that supports my so called 'VIEW', Rahima! And as for those throwing a fit cause I mentioned 'SEX' in a sentence, well here is another proof for my statement! Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "If a woman spends the night deserting her husband's bed (does not sleep with him), then the angels send their curses on her till she comes back (to her husband)."

b]Diradiraale foqal Diradiraale [/b] Your the type raga nagahooda ku dira. So what if he let his gabadh work. So what if he cooks? That my dear is a true, confident man.

Salaamad, Waryaa Saxib, You sound like a 'HOUSE HUBBY' well trained by your WIFE to 'STILL LIVE LIKE A BACHELOR' LOL When I hear such stories about a WIFE working 'HARDER' then her Husband and wearing the PANTS in the MARRIAGE it just makes me wanna 'SLAP' that SILLY FARAAX for giving US (ALL MEN) a BAD RAP/Sumcaad Xuun. I'm hearing these stories tooo damn often now of too many faraax's letting their wives 'OUT WORK THEM' and being 'PALE AND BLUE' at home. Why get married then, if u still gonna live as a BACHELOR? :confused: :confused: :confused: Next thing your wife might say is , No SEX for you, I'm tooo tired for the next 6months straight lol then u got a REAL PROBLEM. :eek:

Salaamz, hey can we stretch the truth a little here even though i've already some of you and what you look like, I just wanna say, that ALL SOL nomads look GOOD in their own wayyyy. The Aaruus crew -Juxa -Try Me -Somalien -Caramel Kisses -Aruba -Discreet (ALL wearing Daruuc and garbasaars and Tick in all the right placesss! ) Aarweelo's -Aaminah -OP/DA -Aeryun Sun -X-quizit -Rising Phoniex (I imagine them All to be Jean Wearing, Buud swinging, Strong Ladies! ) Intellectual Nomad Types -Sophist -Philo King -Nur -Baashi -Jamaal (I imagine as being Blazer/Suit wearing somalis, a bit religious but u can find them at the local Aaruuse's in the Summertime escorting a xalimoo (wifey or not!) Asian but really Somali -OG Moti (I think that he is some poor skinny azzz lover boy that needs a 'JUXA' oops I meant Xalimo ) The Baro Family -Coffee Shop crew after a little game of soccer who just tease each other and love to argue. They're all young and skinny and Yellow teethed Odayaashaaaa -SmithWestern -Lander -HornAfrique -Samurai Warrior (All have a One week unshaven beard growing, with a Blazer/Suite,Bald and Big Bellyed, Yellow teeth and drink more Shaax then Lipton can Produce! ) OK, now that I've made MORE FRIENDS I think I'll Stop at here. Fi Amanillah

Salaamz, Maaaan, I'm getting flashbacks to days when I actually had to do research when making posts in here and other nomads would make meaningful contributions. Needless to say, times have changed and I guess Winter is Done because we hardly engage in these discussions anymore. SOL is mostly a Gender war ridden site. I can't believe I wrote some of those posts, Allahu Akbir! I'm impressed at what other nomads and I have use to write, MashaAllah! Fi Amanillah

For some reason, I get a burning desire to beat him severely with a stick everytime I see one of his charmingly obtuse comments. Hey now, if u want to do some of the 'ROLE PLAYING' business, just PM and I can write your proper ROLE for you. but sis, leave khayr alone, maybe its the nickname and not him, but whenever i see him, i feel i have to be on my best behaviour, its always good to have khayr around u. Hey Silent Sis, you keep switching on me, first I'm a GRUMPY old men and then wait a min. :confused: , is that why u're on your best behaviour around me? Say it ain't sooooo Anyways, I'm glad some of the SOL OG's (Long time members!) are coming back. I guess its Fall and were back INDOORS and on the net to tease each other. Fi Amanillah

Salaamz, Shayma well, aad baa oo maxaad saaneed for backing me up on that point.

Salaamz, I THINK THAT IF THE ADMIN. HAD MADE UP THEIR MIND ALREADY, THEN THEY WOULDN'T HAVE SET UP A THREAD THAT WAS 'OPEN' FOR DISCUSSION. SHEEKADHA MARXOOREY BAA LAXEEDEY LAXA AND WOULD BE A DONE DEAL. TRUST ME ON THIS, IF YOU HAVE A 'JUST SOMALI language THREAD' FORUM/ROOM, I WILL THINK TWICE ABOUT ENTERING IT B/C IT TAKES ME TOOO LONG TO READ IN SOMALI LET ALONE WRITE IN IT AND I AM A PRETTY PATIENT PERSON TOO. This is SOMALIAONLINE, if this was SUUJISONLINE and we made a room for 'SOMALI WRITING' then I would understand And Yes, I'm right about my OBSERVATION, it is the LADIES that SCREAM the most and yeah, ADMIN. leans towards them more. I've seen it happen a few times!

Waryaa Dude saxib, DON'T APOLOGIZE when you're not in the wrong. Baashi, saxib why u callin' him out like dat walaal. Like u're advise suggested, use the PM. Man, thats why I like the Baro family, waa raag and they don't let people RUN dem. Anyways, back to the topic at hand

Hmmm, interesting, so far its all the 'SEX in the City' fEMALE fans (I'm a fan too but I'm Male) and Latte sippers that want this SEGREGATION.

Originally posted by Rahima: [Whilst this is true, I believe both you and brother Kowneyn are missing a vital point. Could it be because you are both Somalilanders If it were that the people of Somaliland were all God-fearing Muslims and those from the south were kufaar, then your point would be legitimate. However, since this is not the case, the point in this case is not applicable and becomes somewhat redundant. We are speaking about two groups of Muslims who when it comes to Islam are basically the same, both sin and both do good. Let us be honest, it is not like fighting does not occur in Somaliland, however we can say that it is less than the south, which can be attributed to many factors. However, I guarantee you; it has nothing to do with the point that Somalilanders have more taqwa than the rest. The south also has people who fear Allah and who wish for peace. Islam teaches that a Muslim is to correct his brother in an effort to maintain the unity. Rasuallah even instructed that the Muslim helps his brother if he is oppressed or even if he is the oppressor by advising and apprehending him. In this we learn an important point, as Muslims we unite on all the points which are correct however we correct one another on those which aren’t. Moreover, let us look at Somaliland; do you seriously believe that the Somaliland government and its system of administration is based on Islam? I think not! It is based on the ideals of democracy (which we all acknowledge are against Islam), therefore, how can you justify its secession and furthermore argue the point that they have separated on the notions of taqwa and birr. This is ridiculous; any person with any understanding of the kalima can see that this is not the case. If on the other hand you are to reason that Somalia is also in the same boat (which would be correct), then does it not become the responsibility of those who understand Islam to apply Islam in their politics by maintaining the unity and establishing an Islamic system of government. To build a house akhi, you need to start from the bottom. Somalilanders are not completely innocent of the state our land is in. Everyone including Somalilanders have played a part in the agony of our nation, so let’s not use the innocent card when all are guilty. We all suffered and we all oppressed, so let’s be fair. Just a small point though brother Salafi, You seem to be dead against certain shuyuukh in Saudi Arabia who wish to make an Islamic difference in their homeland, yet you are a fervent supporter of Somaliland. How can that be? This is contradictory. You paint the Saudi situation with one stroke and the Somali situation with another. Please explain, may be I’m missing something here :confused: . Salaamz, I agree with Rahima on some of her points. Reality is walaal, Most are BLINDED by Nationalism and we often Dismiss things due to our Passions and attachments. I've read the Somaliland 'CONSTITUTION' and it is SO INSULTING to the DEEN. - It wants to Use the DEEN, but yet the PEOPLE and man made Laws come before the DEEN. - The Ulama are only used for 'trivial' things like 'Quran classes' and 'weddings' etc. Major issues like 'WHO SHOULD WE DO TRADE WITH' or 'SHOULD GAAT be Banned' or 'WHAT SUBJECTS TO TEACH KIDS' etc., well leave DEEN out of that. :rolleyes: -Somaliland is a SECULAR STATE and it tries to Disguise ISLAM in certain colours but it really seperates DEEN from STATE affairs. I once wanted to put up the Somaliland Constitution for Discussion after I read it but thought that I'd be like a 'Naaef' and get slaughtered in here for insluting the 'SACRED COW' aka Somaliland. P.S. My family is from Burcao and caaergabo, so I don't disagree with Somaliland b/c of North/South issues. :cool: Fi Amanillah
