Forced the Somali way is ‘duca had rabtiitd …’ such emotional blackmail rest on those words or the infamous words ‘duco ama habar’. Give me habar any day! Basically anything that involves abusing that person's trust in you to influence them to make a decision they may not otherwise undertake is 'forced'.

No worries Serenity, I'm glad it's finally out of my hands, was in my bag for weeks. Where are you off to? Somewhere better? Hard to imagine! JB, they seem to slip through my hands, I break 99% of all plates, cups and glass cups in my household, which is annoying.

Sorry this article is way too long for me to read right now. what better way to make that leap than having the people that lived before you and have your best interest in mind do all the leg work Bit tricky & murky, you could love your mother and father and have nothing in common with them or disagree with them on many issues. I think only you know what is good for you once it comes to choosing your partner. Lol P, after all that! I knew there was a but coming.

I’ve noticed, especially in Europe, this isn’t just an attempt to demonize Islam, there is a Secularist campaign against all religion. Islam just happens to bear the brunt of it because Muslims are so highly visible. Migrating is an option when you can’t adhere to the basic fundementals of your faith. Even the Quran says that some people will argue on the Day of Judgment ‘we were oppressed and we couldn’t do as we were commanded to do’, and what is Allah’s response to this? ‘Have We not made the earth wide enough for you’? Suggesting they should have migrated from places that oppress them as the Asxaba before them did.

Perhaps I should buy some cups for our kitchen office, now I broke the 5th one, soon they’ll notice someone is breaking a lot of cups. Anyway...where is the rest of Lazy Club? It's been dead to say the least...I demand some entertainment when I'm really supposed to be working hard.

beyond the make-up face they will still be wrinkly white old men...ufff!

I think this argument is too simplistic & it's misleading to say it's 'getting out of control'. You need to separate the criminals from the ordinary person of faith. The point is if an Imaam has had a formal Islamic education and has good interpersonal skills like North said and CAN most importantly communicate in the language of his country then I see no problem. The perfect Imaam would be someone like Yasir Qadir but you can't get one for each local mosque.

JB you really are keeping this site alive.

lol Val, I think I will, I don’t have an umbrella, so if you’re going to get wet might as well do it proper.

^^I think it's quiet cool Xanthus, get out there and enjoy it.

Lovely storm weather, it’s so dark outside, very eerie. It's thundering and lightning now. Quiet fascinating. Tempting to go out there and splash, will ppl think I’m crazy?

Wasn’t it in Mauritius where they force fed teenage girls? Clearly the concept of loving you for who you are hasn’t caught up.

^^^Or he hates the fact that food has to be made ready after they both get home. He didn't specifiy? :confused:

i hate the fact that when you both come back at six from work and she goes straight to kitchen to cook (cock lol). Allahu Akbar! There's no pleasing these Faraxs, and you do what? Watch TV while she 'cocks'? The man would prefer a ready made meal, hear hear. I suggest you ring up her manager and have a word with him, demand he sends her home an extra hour earlier so food is ready by the time you stump through your front door

Is that a trick Q? It looks sunny, with a hint of dark clouds at the distance, it’s also warm. Back to work, feel sleepy from eating…

Yes, the image of a highly conservative society has long been trashed, I know there are a lot of unseeming layers that will make anyone think :eek: So it turns out everything your mothers have been telling you as a kid is really grandly exaggerated, to say the least. p.s. JB IS in a Somali speaking country.

I only take authoritve ppl on Somali seriously p.s. so basically they are both less than saintly?

^^LooooL the King of the Castle has spoken, lets all hide behind the kitchen door

Horta is Ciyal Xaafad a good term or a naughty one like Ciyal Suuq? Then I'll answer the Q JB.

I think what Aaliya is trying to say is that the term 'housewife' has been given negative connotations to the extend that it’s almost a swear word or it denotes a sense of laziness, lack of ambition or failure. As we all know, it's a difficult job and these connotations are false.

^^^What the hell is that? Nomad, not to worry, our winters are mild unlike mainland Europe. Unless you are here for frosty Jan/Feb. As for the swimming, you never know, you could find a pool or a bit of skinny dipping in the dark never hurt anyone I'm off home now.

I'm not afraid. Anyway, enjoy the rest of your trip and keep the pics coming.

A man who wooes a woman who can be the same age as his daughter/granddaughter should be shot in the head. LooooooooL Lazy, crazy woman. I never knew a Somali animal rights sympathiser. They should all be made to read Animal Experiments: Simple Truths by Vernon Coleman Then we would surely have many more animal righst activists

That's ok, I can always call them Wiiro Wiiro all the same, it should in fact be a double-bad thing to be called since you are a man

Zanizbar, I'm envious! But serious packing dilema, you ll need boots and coat on one hand and then sandals and bikini on the other
