Dhaqanow, nice pics sxb. I appreciate the street level ones coz no offence but skyline ones get boring after a while so yours are really refreshing.

I will not sit by while my good name is tarnished ina adeer! :mad:

Blackflash, I can only speak for myself but then I also know that nearly all Somalis are Muslim and are not happy to see a religion other than Islam propagated in their country. One question you all seem to be overlooking is, why does Christianity need to be propagated in Somalia in the first place?

We have no need for their faith. Let them stay away.

Chimera, I only used it as an example. I really have no clue what type of country Iran is. Xaaji, that was my point. All notion-states go through this phase which we're going through. Read the second and third quotes again. We just have the misfortune of being hundreds of years behind. Safferz, thanks will check it out.

The skinny jeans community demands an apology. We've made this place more lively (we are not responsible for the actions of Tallaabo btw )

Reeyo has said all there was to say. There's nothing left.

Such a shame as well

The origin of the ethnic Iranian peoples/Persian peoples are traced to the Ancient Iranian peoples, who were part of the ancient Indo-Iranians and themselves part of the greater Indo-European linguistic family. The Ancient Iranian peoples emerged in parts of the Iranian plateau circa 1000 BCE. Important Iranic tribes such as Old Persians, Medes, Parthians, Bactrians, Scythians, and the Avesta people used the name Arya (Iranian), which was a collective definition, denoting peoples who were aware of belonging to a generally common ethnic stock, speaking very closely related languages, and mainly sharing a religious tradition that centered on the worship of Ahura Mazda. At the same time, the Old Persians were part of the wider Ariya (Iranian nation); Darius and Xerxes boast of belonging to a stock which they call “Iranian”: they proclaim themselves "Iranian" and "of Iranian stock," ariya and ariya čiça respectively, in inscriptions in which the Iranian countries come first in a list that is arranged in a new hierarchical and ethno-geographical order. Until the Parthian era, Iranian identity had an ethnic, linguistic, and religious value, however it did not yet have a political import . During Sassanian Iran, a national culture, fully aware of being "Iranian" took shape and was partially motivated by the restoration and the revival of the wisdom of the “sages of old,” dānāgān pēšēnīgān. Other aspects of this national culture included the glorification of a great heroic past and an archaizing spirit. Throughout the period, the pre-Islamic Iranian identity reached its height in every aspect: political, religious, cultural and even linguistic. In terms of linguistic, Middle Persian, which is the immediate ancestor of Modern Persian and variety of other Iranian dialects, became the official language of the empire and was greatly diffused amongst Iranians. The intermingling of Persians, Medes, Parthians, Bactrians and indigenous people of Iran, including the Elamites gained more ground and a homogeneous Iranian identity was created to the extent that all were just called Iranians/Persians irrespective of clannish affiliations and regional linguistic or dialectical alterities . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_people And today we have the nation-state of Iran. It's my opinion that Somalis are at the second quote, we're all proud Somalis, but politically this has no meaning to us I'm afraid I won't witness a true Somali nation-state in my lifetime.

With this I'm 100% behind DF. Faroole and co, if given their way, will lead to the balkanisation of Somalia. As for the Kismaayo fiasco, I believe that the FG has won this and Madoobe should negotiate with Culusoow and try to save his skin.

The same man who has completely disregarded the 1972 territorial waters law and is on a mission to replace it. Yes, such a wadani he is. If he has done this out of ignorance he is incompetent, if on purpose he is worse than cancer.

All this is caused by the happenings in South Somali,” Abdi Hajji who is a Garissa based businessman said. Hajji told reporters in Nairobi that the wave of insecurity in Garissa and other regions such as Wajir is a cause of conflict in the South. Do you know when the war broke out, the reer Somalia used to say "waxaanu nahey xabadi keentay, idinkana waxaad tihiin xabadi sugtay". Keep your bloody squabbles to your self!

If hearts aren't moved by this then they have no hope.

Thank YOU! Wallahi I've been trying to remember for at least 6 months
