  1. Has any been looking outside wondering how they are going to get home, the wind is slaming my window about, not to mention the rain :eek: Bet all the trains are going to be delayed due to flooding :mad:
  2. ^^^I heard same as Cawaale, it does not take him out of Islam if he remains gay without denying that the act is against Islam. He will just be committing one of the major sins, right up there with those who have relations with animals and family members. Val thanks, ignore Ngonge, he thinks I am radical. :rolleyes: Ms Dd please do. Cawaale, thanks for all that, his english is not the best, so I was thinking of getting him a childrens or basic for dacwa sort of books inshallah. Ducaynase: Waaxa waalan
  3. ^^^I think it is great! Sad but funny in a strange way. It has a different feel to it. I think Abdul would appeal to basic somalis like me rather than those with degrees in somali poltics. Amin's ones sometimes goes over my head, where as this takes simple concepts. Thanks for that. About Latuuf, sorry, indeed it is a man, no idea why I wrote her all over this thread,, I don't know what I was eating that day :confused:
  4. ^^^I'm telling you, this one looks more hindi then even Ngonge :eek:
  5. ^^Maa Hindi baa?? Man everyone is jumping on this SL bandwagon.
  6. The way of qabil is NOT going to be history in Somalia, and people who theorise about the emergency of religion as a dominate factor or replacement for the qabil factor in Somali social interactions and alliance are peddling ideals rather than reality. As it stands, regardless of whether we dislike it or not, qabil is in the foreseeable Somalia future. There is no reliable evidence to suggest otherwise, particularly since all these so called religious groups are each rooted in one clan or another. As for what you mean eradication: Well, it seems I mistakenly took military eradication as your suggestion, so my bad, sorry. However it would seem to be the only plausible suggestion, because eradication by re-programming and re-educating the people who are in these “Islamic groups” requires an environment where they are the weaker, controlled subjects without any control or say over their destiny, it also requires technological and unavailable resources and stable environment. I’m sure you are aware that Saudi Arabia who launched this same brainwashing and re-engineering subjects who were adopting harmful interpretation of Islam has not been all that successful despite the resources that were poured in. Likewise in the UK, the idea has not passed the proposal stages despite many attempts to try and launch it. Considering it has not worked in stable, richer countries, who have dominate and almost completely control of similar groups, it would be illogical to think that it would work in Somalia where they [Who require re-education] have the space, weapon, dedicated followers, foreign backers and the superiority and control of most of the country. If anything iyaga aya re-education saminayah.
  7. ^^Well I will use the computer, you can direct from your bed. lol Okay Ms DD it is then
  8. ^^^Not true, he told me something else :eek: He said, he would be more than happy to marry you, but he knows you would say no. How is your holiday going?? I agree, you can be friends with male under strange circumstances, but even if you are sure of your intentions, you can never be sure of theirs, and they might have the wrong end of the stick. Best to just get them to admit it and then move beyond it, rather then keeping it in the closet and letting him have false hope. After that you can be friends. I can be very good friends with none- Somali, none- African males
  9. I hate that word, eradicating :eek: :eek: By advocating such move, you are as bad as them. Acuudubililah, no one wins in Somali warfare. In any case, regardless of what Islamic group they are, when someone attempts to "eradicate" them, ninkaast qabilikiis baa soo taagan, that is Somali politics for you. Maybe selective eradication for those who have no clan that defend them is what always happens.
  10. ^^^I read that story on taht book "From my sisters lips". That was a normal relationship, even if these too convert together waa problamatic. It is a life style, he is more women than some ladies. Well since I posted this thread, I've found out that he is also reading the bible, something on Buddha and Judaism. He’s apparently trying to find all the good things in each one. I need to find an easy read on Islam to give to him, to throw Islam in the mix. JB maa A&T ayaad igu xuuxin :eek: Sheh I need your help with the business reasearch thingy. Are you free tomorrow?
  11. ^^^so the last option Or should I just leave it and answer his questions when he asks, after all he has not asked me for a book or explanation. Lol Beelayo iyo love story adiguna
  12. ^^^Did you not read the rest of the story!! HE has already got one and one for his boyfriend. Nunne you want me to take him and his boyfriend out :eek: miyaad igu ciiyaar, I'm already tried of hearing about his boyfriend, now you want me to entertain them. That would be them giving me dacwa. II No that one is a different hospital all together, lol JB, why what is A&T going to do?
  13. LOOOL Nuune last time I saw Ngonge, there was no hair to speak off, it was complete bidaar. It was winter, so I don't think it was clean shaved. You are growing you hair Ngonge, you mean you are wearing a "tobi" Lool @ here is the place to over come those problems! LOL
  14. ^^^No Mohammed is a fellow receptionist. What does go with the flow mean Ngonge, I gave three options, which one?? JB, it is not a story you silly, waa iga daab, I'm stuck.
  15. Our receptionist is a little gay Portuguese man, I just say hello, thank you, is the next patient here, send this or that or type this, your usual work related staff. Then one day he said he loves my Cabay and could I get him one, he will pay me. I told him this one was for ladies. Him: Yes but I have seen men wear beautiful similar one Me: Oh you like it? Him: Yes, it is quite lovely, I want one to wear at home, my boyfriend wants one too. It looks really comfortable. Where could I get one? Me: Erm at the mosque, (I direct him to baker street) Him: Can you get me one? I will give you the money. Me: I will try I did not feel comfortable getting him one, I don’t really know why, maybe because I felt he was misusing the damn thing. So I conveniently forgot about it. Then a while later after he off for a week, he came back to work. Him: Oh Ibti guess what? Me and my boyfriend went to Tunisia, it was lovely, everyone was fasting so everything was closed for the whole day and opened in the evenings, it was good, we did shopping…. Yad yad yad. I got the dresses, yeah I got beautiful black one and my boyfriend got one with designs. Me: Why would you wear it? Him: I really like it, if fact I would wear it outside but I’m scared, you know bad people will shout at me and beat me up. But I think it is beautiful, maybe in the summer I’ll be brave enough to wear it to the park. Me: Hmm This conversation happened during Ramadan. Then today he came in to bring me my post. Him: Hello Ibti, here is your post. Me: Thanks I muttered, trying to find something at my desk, Him: How was your weekend? Me: Good, and yours Him: Yeah it was good. I look up, he is still standing there, Me: Hmmm Him: Ibti can I ask you a question Me: Yeah sure. Him: Why do you put the rag down when you pray (He’s walked into my office a few times while I was praying and the two other Muslims in my building use my office to pray) Me: Because the floor is dirty as people walk on it and we have to pray on clean surface Him: Oh okay, makes sense, why do you face south East? Me: Well it depends on where you are and what direction Mecca is. (He looked a bit confused,) so I said Mecca is in Saudi Arabia, the black dome, all Muslims pray towards it. Him: Oh yes, yes, I understand. Him: I’ve been learning how to pray (he demonstrates, saying Allahu Akbar) Me: Oh okay Him: So in total how many times do I say Allahu Akbar (He demonstrates again, but he conjoins the adan and the Allahu Akbar’s within the Rakah’s) Me: Aah one is the call to prayer and ends here (I demonstrate the Athan) and then the prayer you say Allah Akbar each time you change posture. Him: I’m learning what to say in between the Allah Akbar’s but I’m finding it a bit hard, but I will know it in a few weeks. Me: Okay Fantastic Him: I’m always asking Mohammed questions. [ He opens his mouth to say something else and then my phone starts ringing, he smiles and waves and goes out] Also recently he's been saying the Salam now and again when I come in. Anyway I’m thinking I should give him the Quran to read, the only reason I’ve not done it a long time ago is probably because he is “off the gay” [as Russell peters would say] I know if he was not I would’ve given him a copy long time ago But my own prejudice made me feel uncomfortable about giving him a copy, who knows Allah can guide him. Or should I give him a little book, a introduction to Islam. Or should I just leave it and answer his questions when he asks, after all he has not asked me for a book or explanation.
  16. ^^^That Guy looks like him a little you know, for a second I thought you used his pitcure! :eek:
  17. Today I'm mash up, I should be at home in bed, and I have tons of work to do, which I don't want to and the weather outside is just beyond mashallah with rain iyo wind. But aside from that Alhumdulilah Buuxo. How is the heat weave? SS I don't know what kind of reaction you mean dear sis, explain. I get an adrenaline rush when I watch horror or action movies. Then I say it was a really good movie Otherwise it is like watching an episode of friends and chuckling a little. I’ve one of those two reactions. Baal please nooga sheeki the ones you have?
  18. ^^I already offered to be his editor in order to get his lazy self in gear, but he told me "stuff iyo waax kaale" Ngonge I'm show up outside your house with a SOLers petition and a poster
  19. The death toll from fires in southern Australia has reached at least 108, the worst in the country's history. Thousands of firefighters, aided by the army, are battling several major bush fires, and the number of dead is expected to rise as fires are put out. Arsonists responsible for lighting the fires could be charged with murder, police have said. Entire towns in Victoria state were destroyed as fires were fanned by extreme temperatures and wind. Temperatures are dropping now, but officials fear they will not be able to get the fires under control until there is substantial rain. "We could still have a lot worse," said Sharon Smee of Victoria's Country Fire Authority. "There's still hot spots out there and there's a lot of people who are really exhausted and tired." 'Absolutely horrific' Firefighters have been battling against what are described as the worst conditions in Victoria's history. BBC Wonder if any somalis live in these areas
  20. This was last weekend, I remember watching it, when he started sprinting from 4laps to go, I though oh shid. The british record is slow compared to the world record. Gebreselasie (sp?)still holds his record from 1997 7mins 20sec. He is going to still struggle when he meets the Africans again. That is always his problem, he does well in Europe. If he keeps improving, in few years he'll be right up there. I'm so excited for him. We'll see how he does in the European Indoor Championships in March inshallah. It'll also be cool to see if chambers can beat that little white kid.
