^^LOOOL You didn't? this thread was the last thing I read before going to sleep, I had a dream about a war zone and someone was shot in the eye and I was crying over a little child much like the one in the above picture, and there was a white man walking around and people were looking at him like he was going to save them all, but he just kept taking pictures. I guess I was thinking/ dream about the film.

:rolleyes: This thread is pants, running out of topics in SOL. On the one hand people are talking about education and intelligence, and then at the same time voting on ignorance and mass generalization. Education kii xagu idiin kaa daafey?? The comments here, Including the disgraceful terms ignorant Somalis use to refer to other communities and our mass generalization not only makes us look bad as a community, but also makes it hard for us to combat racism directed at us in out host communities. Most of the people on this forum are youngish, and we should not be recycling the old ignorant ways our parents coped with their new society. -

I don't understand, everything is news these days. :rolleyes: Btw, hook Caano Geel up, he wanted to know yaa qaabah Tanya in another thread. (But that could mean who has her in his dialect, rather than who is she married to) So maybe he thought reer Somaliland kidnapped her or something and hence the search.

So today I went to the Dova spa with a dear friend who brought vouchers for something that was promised to be very good and healthy and, did I mention good for you, physically and mentally, yad yad ya. So Somalis we are, after a little walk down the road, we arrived 15mins late for our spa , which was dedicated from our spa time (thank God I say, but the other one was not impressed) So, there I am lying down and this witch of a women (she was very polite and chatty too) gets a big hard scrubbing brush and proceeds to scrubbing like her life depended on it, till my skin went raw and I nearly screamed for her to piss off. Then he applies this nice beautiful warm gel thing, but the shid went freezing cold within a second of applying it to my skin. She cheerfully informs me that it will get even colder (something about opening pours for detoxify the body) By the time she applies to full body, I am freezing and she wraps me in cling foil (yes cling foil) and then wraps me with about 10towels, but oh my god I am still cold. Relax she says in her now annoying cheerful voice. Now I am barring my teeth and trying to resist the urge to call it quits. Then suddenly my body starts heating up almost to boiling point and going all tingly, (she tells me the treatment keeps changing from one extreme to the other because it is good for the skin) Meanwhile she proceeds to doing my face massage and its all good (did I mention the face massage was great?) She put my face mask on (cucumber on the eyes and all). Again now I am cold again and she turns the fan on to make it even more colder, THEN tells me to take a nap and leaves the room. (WHAT??!!! How can I take a nap I wanted to scream at her retreating back) The cold was back with vengeance, I wanted to move my hands, but she pinned my whole body together, and I started entertaining thoughts of freezing all together. Soon she came back to check on me (it felt like 30mins, but probably 5mins) Please, end this torture I tell her, she says it is good for you and starts telling me, how people do it once a month (WTH for I don’t know) Finish I mutter, and she unwraps me then tells me to run to the shower and wash off the gel to get back to normal body temperature. The little witch did not tell me, that the shower was boiling hot water, I jumped in, jumped out, jumped in and out, *st*u*p*i*d* thing when I turn it down, it is freezing, when I turn it up a notch, it is boiling. After sometime I finished washing off the dame gel, and now my skin was really tingly. She says it is normal, and people like that feeling (I wanted to scratch my skin off)! Anyway the rest of the spa (10mins) was great, moisture and body massage. I loved loved loved it. I mean it was divine, I almost forgot about the freezing cold. But boy it was cold, so cold. And the face massage and body massage was so great, now I know what to ask for next time Thanks to my friend, today I experienced extreme pleasure AND torture all at the same time-ish, there sure is a fine line (Maybe The Siren link is not such leap, does this count as a..... never mind]) LOL

Guess I am not the only one. Thank god for that, I was thinking my body just hates everything which is suppose to help you. As for Faheema, waax laa ruugo aye soo qaadey. She is fine, fit as bird

^^^Loool. No, after so many lectures about eating well, my bad immune system, my bad eating habits yad yad ya by all of you. This smart lady Faheema thought it would be good to get supplements (she pushed me down a escalator to go into the shop- true story!) so we walked around the smelly Holland and something, she picked up the nice medicine, I on the other hand, like a baadow let out in a city, picked up these things call WellWomen, which apparently contain a perfect balance of everything your body needs. To cut a long story short, I took one after food (like it said) and within half an hour I was experiencing severe abdominal pains and contractions, by 5pm I was throwing up and till 4am I was throwing up every 15mins or so. I should’ve known, the damn tablets are about 3inches big and purple!!! I wish I was chasing rainbows. Never again, nor more, if you ever catch me near supplements.

Dedicated to Lazy 1. The niqab is a symbol of female subjugation. None of the niqab-wearing women who I know, wear it because they have been forced to. They see it as an act of devotion to their Creator: the culmination of a spiritual journey. In fact most of them are women who were born and brought up in the UK; many are White or Afro-Caribbean Muslim converts to Islam who have chosen to observe it. The hijab, niqab and abaya are outer garments and are worn only when outdoors or in the presence of men who are not close relatives and so, contrary to popular belief, underneath their robes, in family and female-only settings Muslim women are often very fashion conscious and outgoing. They dress in everyday clothing; they get their hair done, go on holiday and even buy lingerie! 2. Women who wear the niqab cannot possibly contribute to society People are surprised to hear that niqab-wearers come from varied vocational backgrounds. They include doctors, teachers, dentists, authors, social workers, university graduates, lecturers and more. They usually prefer to work in a female environment and so would not wear the face-veil all the time. Other women say that wearing the niqab actually makes them feel more comfortable when they are working with men. It is ironic that the very women who are the subject of debate are far from being a burden on society: they don’t get drunk and disorderly, don’t smoke and are likely to be very good citizens. Many of them are full-time mothers who take pride in raising well-educated children who will be an asset to British society. 3. The niqab isn’t in the Qur’an The Qur’anic worldview presents a complete system of living, which permeates the daily lives of observant Muslims. This includes everything from rituals of personal hygiene, advice on neighbourly behaviour and animal rights to regulations for dress. Some women see the niqab as a religious obligation, others, as an act of worship following in the footsteps of notable Muslim women of the past. Numerous verses in the Qur’an contain directives for Muslim women’s dress, amongst them: “O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the Believers to draw their outer garments all over their bodies. That will be better, so that they may be known and so as not to be annoyed, and God is Ever-forgiving, Most Merciful.” (33:59) The Qur’an was interpreted by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his disciples and their teachings form the basis of Islamic law. There are two orthodox schools of thought with regards to the interpretation of this verse. One orthodox interpretation is that it means covering the whole body including the face. The other school of thought is that, though not obligatory, covering the face is a virtue. 4. Wearing the niqab implies that all men are predatory Just as locking our doors at night doesn’t imply that all members of society are burglars, wearing the niqab doesn’t imply that all men are predatory. The Islamic worldview recognises that attraction between men and women exists and, if left unharnessed, has the potential to break down the moral fabric of society. It also acknowledges the physiological and physical differences between men and women and therefore Islamic legislation for dress and behaviour reflect these differences and aid adherents to avoid situations that could lead to extra-marital sexual relations. Hence both men and women have been commanded to lower their gazes and given directives on dress. 5. The niqab poses a security risk at banks and airports By simply going to the side and showing their faces and ID to female members of staff, Muslim women who wear the niqab, have been, for decades, passing through airport security in major airports all over the world without cause for security concern. The same sort of arrangement can be made for any situation where ID needs to be checked. 6.Niqab wearers can’t possibly be teachers. There are many highly qualified and experienced Muslim teachers. A Muslim teacher, who wears the niqab, would not need to do so if men were not present, therefore many female Muslim teachers choose to teach women or children and uncover their faces whilst teaching. 7. Banning the niqab will free those Muslim women who are coerced into wearing it. Banning the face-veil would be totally counter-productive: it would cause many Muslim women to feel targeted and persecuted and is likely to cause many talented women to withdraw from society. The majority of niqab-wearing women in Europe, wear it out of personal choice, so if, for the sake of a suspected minority, the niqab was to be banned, this would be clear discrimination against the majority. If we want to empower women from any community who are oppressed or abused, effective public services where such abuse can be reported need to be made more available and accessible to the women involved. Fatima Barkatulla is a regular columnist on SISTERS, the magazine for 'fabulous Muslim women' Which some people might have issues with, but her points are very valid. :cool:

Increasing numbers of non-Muslims are turning to Sharia courts to resolve commercial disputes and other civil matters, The Times has learnt. The Muslim Arbitration Tribunal (MAT) said that 5 per cent of its cases involved non-Muslims who were using the courts because they were less cumbersome and more informal than the English legal system. Freed Chedie, a spokesman for Sheikh Faiz-ul-Aqtab Siqqiqi, a barrister who set up the tribunal, said: “We put weight on oral agreements, whereas the British courts do not.” In a case last month a non-Muslim Briton took his Muslim business partner to the tribunal to sort out a dispute over the profits in their car fleet company. “The non-Muslim claimed that there had been an oral agreement between the pair,” said Mr Chedie. “The tribunal found that because of certain things the Muslim man did, that agreement had existed. The non-Muslim was awarded £48,000.” He said that the tribunal had adjudicated on at least 20 cases involving non-Muslims so far this year. The rulings of the tribunal are legally binding, provided that both parties agree to that condition at the beginning of any hearing. Anti-Sharia campaigners, who claim that the Islamic system is radical and biased against women, expressed alarm at the news. Denis MacEoin, who wrote a recent report for the think-tank Civitas examining the spread of Sharia in Britain, said that MAT’s claims about non-Muslim clients “raises all sorts of questions”. He added: “You really need to ask why. What advantages could that possibly have for them going to an Islamic court? Any [sharia] court is going to be implementing aspects of a law that runs contrary to British law, because of the way it treats women for example.” Inayat Bunglawala, a spokesman for the Muslim Council of Britain, said that organisations should be free to conduct arbitration under Sharia, provided that it did not infringe British law and was a voluntary process. Baroness Warsi, the Shadow Minister for Community Cohesion and Social Action, who is Muslim, said that there were many forums for arbitration and alternative dispute resolution in Britain. “There is no problem with that, as long as it is always subject to English law,” she said. The Times has also learnt that the MAT is planning to triple the number of its courts by setting up in ten new British cities by the end of the year. It will expand its network further by acting as an advisory body to dozens of other Islamic courts, with the intention of achieving national consensus over rulings and procedures. Although Sharia courts have been operating in the civil jurisdiction since the early 1980s, they have been doing so only in the shadows and in an ad-hoc fashion. The Civitas report estimated that there were 85 Sharia councils in Britain. As such, if the MAT was successful in bringing a number of the existing councils into line with its own courts, it would in effect create Britain’s largest national co-operative of tribunals. Mr Chedie said that the plan would legitimise Sharia because all the courts under its umbrella would be “consistent in their rulings”. The MAT, which has legal legitimacy under the Arbitration Act 1996, already operates in London, Birmingham, Bradford, Manchester and Nuneaton, Warwickshire. At its annual conference in October it will decide its ten new locations, which are likely to include Leeds, Luton, Blackburn, Stoke and Glasgow. The tribunal is inviting 24 Sharia councils to attend the conference so that it can train them on procedures and rulings in an attempt to achieve national consistency. Most Sharia courts deal only with divorce and family disputes but the MAT also rules on commercial matters and mediates over forced marriages and domestic violence. Mr Chedie said: “We would train most of the imams so that a lady in Glasgow would receive the same form of service as a lady in London. Sharia councils are already falling into line under us. There is hysterial and inherent prejudice against Sharia, but the overwhelming opinion of the judiciary is that English law and Sharia are compatible. It is only people at the right end of the political spectrum who are scaremongering.” Mr Chedie argued that the legitimacy of the MAT was further enhanced because non-Muslims had started to use it for arbitration. Mr MacEoin said he was sceptical that the MAT could achieve unity because there were several different schools of thought when it came to Islamic law. He added that the Muslim community was already deeply divided over ideology. Source: http://business.time sonline.co.uk

^^^Err this one was married, so it seem both married and unmarried are running wild. when ever humans are repressed so much and followed around, they turn out to act like cage animales. Naxar: It was not a one nighter (not that makes a difference) she planned her holidays around him. Somalis are either nuts or wadaads, I have yet to see the two camps mixing or zig zagging like the Arabs who come to the UK, they go from one exterem to the other. :eek: -

^^^Actually what annoys me most is that they pretend to be such holy people, I don’t have a problem with none-Muslims or people who don’t care for religion doing what they want, but it annoys me to see “practising Muslims” doing the same. Oh did I mention that they think only they are Muslim all at the same time. As for your question, death penalty yes it does if they are muslim. -

Some of you are defending a married woman who committed adultery and continued deceit for her regular visits and only got caught because she had a child. :confused: Bet you won’t be making excuses if she was your wife. Mac soongor, she deserves whatever she gets, where it be humiliated in a refugee status on the dole, in a one bed room council slump or paranoia about people coming to get her. There is something twisted going on with Arabs who come over to the UK [i think they must be the most crazy bunch in their society]. I nearly passed out when 60year old Kuwait women asked me the best consultant for breast surgery and botox!!! When she got them done, she came to tell me about it and show off her new pair/ face. :eek: She said and my husband likes them. I wanted to scream you are 60, with a 20year old pair. The guys are invested with STDs and alcoholics. Can you imagine, they go: I drink one or two glass of wine a day with a straight face like it is caadi. :rolleyes: The worst one is when the sons are talking in front of the father :eek: -
