Do they ever give details of meaningful allocations for social and economic development in the budget? or is it the same as last year; a narration of salaries of civil and military staffs?

^^^It is health me thinks, part of democracy. In time you will have comdey shows on TV taking the pis*s out of the president without getting arrested.

^^Only thing they told me, was the project I'm working on, and drinks at the bar on friday evenings, opening hrs and fire exit. Waax kaale laa imaa sheegin.

Originally posted by cynical lady: Everywhere you look in SOL, threads full of marriage/looking for a partner seriously what the hell is happening here. There is more to life than finding a partner/getting married. ^^^This thread is not?? :confused: Why are you posting your rant here?? Are you sure you are not think so much about this topic you are seeing things?? I mean I just saw this part The survey shows that 58 per cent of Muslim women do not think the racial background of a partner matters, although two-thirds believe it is very important for their man to be knowledgeable about Islam. Which is just a passing comment. What did your eyes show you baal??

^^^I don't know :confused: I don't think so, no one is going to do your work for you, your project will sit there till you come back, and I've moved my meetings/ conferences to wed. I guess I'll just txt the overall manager at fajar time 3am to wake him up I don't need to justify it, just do my work. What can he do, they need me more than I need them at the moment. :cool:

^^Okay thanks, I do get the jist of it. So have they stop mud fighting in the media??

Dr Frazer answered: Yes, the President of Somaliland did come to Washington and I did go to Somaliland. Somaliland has done a lot of good things. They have a democratic system. They had elections, and they have elections coming. We support the democratic process there. We also have mutual interests in combating terrorism. When it comes to recognition, we were hoping that the African Union would make a definitive statement on this, but unfortunately, the African Union has not made a definitive statement and that has delayed our taking of a position on this matter. One of the things we are considering now is to have some sort of diplomatic representation or office in Somaliland, but I am not sure whether we would be able to do it in the remaining six months of our administration. So there is nothing new yaa JB?? US is waiting for AU like everyone else. Better you start lobbying AU dear, instead of the white house nooh?

No, not sick, just fed up with them, I can't be bothered, not motivated. They make me wanna do what your avatar is doing! I did not want to crack my head open with rage today or 2morrow.

She wants to marry her soulmate, shops in Primark, TK Maxx and Topshop, and dreams of starting her own business, while keeping a delicate balance with her Islamic values. Meet the typical Muslim woman in Britain today. A thousand women throughout the country have responded to the biggest lifestyle study of Muslim women undertaken in the UK. It appears to show that Muslim women have established a delicate balance between a desire to live a contemporary lifestyle and tap into consumer trends while sticking to values underpinning the Islamic guide to life. The survey shows that 58 per cent of Muslim women do not think the racial background of a partner matters, although two-thirds believe it is very important for their man to be knowledgeable about Islam. Success to 37 per cent of women means being a good Muslim, while 32 per cent say it is about combining work with family life, with 52 per cent wanting to run their own businesses. When asked which Muslim causes were most important, 70 per cent of women said matters affecting Muslims in their own community or in the UK were a priority against 21 per cent who said that the Middle East was the most important issue facing Muslims today. Talat Ahmed, 32, from Redbridge in east London, is married with a three-year-old daughter and works in human resources for a charity. She said: 'I become so English when the Rugby World Cup is on. We're British and we love it here. '[but] it's complex because living in the West we feel alienation. The media and the government categorises Muslims. We choose to be Muslim and we want to be respected and we want people to understand. A lot of things get misconstrued because Islam is a private thing. I totally respect people of all religions. Sure we are British. We choose to live here. To me it's terrible being told to go back where you come from.' Half of British Muslim women polled for the survey - carried out by Muslim women's magazine Sisters and Ummah Foods, a halal food business - say the hijab is about dressing modestly, with 19 per cent equating it to 'covering up completely'. More than half the women polled never go on holiday in Britain for fear of not being welcome in coastal resorts, lack of halal food outlets and uncertainty over where the nearest mosque would be. Eighty-two per cent of Muslim women want shops to sell products that are halal- and sharia-compliant - a desire mainstream retailers largely fail to satisfy. 'I'm proud of my religion, and being British as well as Muslim is important for my identity, but as I've got older, I've started to feel like I don't belong here,' said Farah Mulla, 27, who lives in west London and works in marketing. 'I don't hide my religion though - I'll do things like pray at work, even if there are people around - that makes no difference to me.' For Farah, praying and reading the Koran is part of her daily routine. 'The Koran gives me guidance and praying puts me at peace. It gives me a sense of belonging.' When it comes to marriage, she says she would only ever marry a Muslim although some members of her family have married out of Islam. 'Mixed-faith marriages can work, but it just wouldn't work for me. I wouldn't feel comfortable if I didn't marry a Muslim. 'My faith is so important to me and I wouldn't want any misunderstandings or conflicts arising from that. But Asian culture confuses things too much and sometimes people get too involved with caste and background, which just isn't right and isn't anything to do with religion at all.' Nabila Pathan, 25, from Leytonstone, east London, presents Women's Voice, a woman's chat show, on Press TV, an English language channel funded by the Iranian government. She says: 'The government is always funding these quite contrived attempts to "understand" Muslims, but to be honest I think a lot of Muslims are fed up with that. Sometimes it's better to read things about ourselves if it's come from ourselves - that way, it's on our terms.' http://www.guardian.co.uk
