  1. You are too old to party. Stay at home, baal maxaa kaka shaan iyo tooban ah?
  2. The little somali kid from Sweden Mustafa Mohammed came third just now in the BUPA Great MAnchester run, he was so good but started to fade in the end. With the UK Mo Farah running on the 26th London 10K, lets see what he can do! Go on somalis
  3. Gordon Brown is being urged by MPs to abandon plans to detain terror suspects without charge for up to 42 days because the proposals are fundamentally flawed. In a blow to the government, which is facing defeat over the plan when MPs vote on the counter-terrorism bill next month, parliament's joint human rights committee criticised ministers. The vote in Parliament is fast approaching, everyone needs to do their part. What can we do? 1) Sign the Petition on the Downing Street website 2) Write to your local MP now to demand they oppose this attack on our human rights! NB,(Tony Blair’s attempt to extend detention without charge to 90 days was defeated by MPs.) SO WE CAN DO IT AGAIN. Some points you can make in your own words to your MP: · MPs should oppose any extension of detention without charge or trial. · The Muslim community support the government in its aim of preventing terrorism. However, measures taken to combat terrorism must ensure that justice and basic human rights are not trampled on. - The UK police terrorism arrest statistics (excluding Northern Ireland) show that from 11 September 2001 – 31 March 2007, 96.6% of those arrested under the Terrorism Act, usually in the full glare of publicity, were innocent of any terrorist activity · Detention without trial is counter-productive. It has been used before in Northern Ireland and did not lead to any improvement in security or reduction in terrorism. In fact, young republicans were radicalised by internment in the 1970’s. · Any extension to the detention period is likely to be primarily used against Muslims. Figures released by the Home Office reveal the number of Asians (predominately Muslim) stopped and searched under the Terrorism Act 2000 increased by 300%. [source: BBC News – 2 July 2004] SO IT COULD BE YOU NEXT TIME! · The current 28 day limit of detention without trial is already the longest in Europe · To surrender our democratic principles in this way would only hand victory to the real terrorists. LASTLY include your full postal address so that your MP knows you do live in their constituency! Contact Details: Write to: Your MP’s Name (not sure who your MP is?

  5. Hargisa daadka jooga beeri hoore aaye maaryihiin kaa daaqaaqan! lol Donkey kuulaha.
  6. Haneefah Because I live near this place and they've have done this before, and work was one of their reasons. As I said the "practicing community" is quite large here, so these classes are always full for the sisters, hence they never seem to take our complaints seriously. On the other hand, when they slotted some classes for the brothers in the morning, it was empty! Since then it is an automatic reaction, all brothers classes in the evening and sisters in the morning. The same goes for the two local mosques here. It drives me nuts! I do understand that it has something to do with what you and Abu Geeljire said; they do not have someone qualified enough, who is willing to do evening classes at the moment. But it is summer and the sun does not go down till 9pm, how hard could it be to find some to teach once or twice a week 5-9 or something? Sorry I’m just venting my frustrations about another summer of missing out all the classes. It would be nice of them to cater to a different audience once in a while. The Muslim institutions here never try to accommodate or reach out to anyone but the usual suspects who are already well connected to them. This means large section of the community is excluded. Then they sit in these talks complaining about how the youth is lost, lack of Islamic knowledge, ill practice, this and that. Do they think that by some miracle that the youth will pick up this knowledge in colleges, work and university. What will be the future of the Muslim community when the current “practicing community” immigrates or dies out, as it surely will. The role of Islamic institutions is changing and they need to cater to all sections of the community, not just middle aged already “practicing Muslims” This is one of the reasons why organizations such as Al Muhjaroon, Xizbu Tarir and so on have previously attracted large junks of the young Muslims in the UK, they are/ were the only ones willing to move out of the usual comfort zone. Going into colleges, universities, and offering flexible evening classes. It is just too bad that their aqeeda was a little flawed, but it was this lack of alternative that attracted many young people. If this gap is not filled by the mosques and centers, it will again be filled by others who can potential mislead people. P.s.Disclaimer: By “Practicing Muslims” I just mean those who are well versed in Islam and could be seen as potential role models. P.s.s. I've been meaning to have a thread for this rant, but never mind, here will do. It really worries me.
