Lord have mercy CL you are going to make me write an essay on SOL to respond to that! I'll be back when I have time inshallah. I do somewhat agree with you, but you are off point in places.

^^^^That is the sprit...even if you are just saying it, while you munch on your McDs Now I feel like a bully ...

The government has unveiled plans to let police hold terror suspects for up to 42 days without them being charged. The Counter Terrorism Bill also proposes "full use of DNA" in investigations and greater use of post-charge questioning. It advocates putting terror convicts on a register like that for sex offenders. Some senior police officers support extending terror detentions beyond the current 28 days, but it is opposed by Lib Dems, Tories and rebel Labour MPs. The bill says such powers should be used only "if exceptional circumstances require it". It also demands stiffer sentences for other crimes where terrorism is a factor. A survey by the Independent newspaper last month suggested 38 Labour MPs were against the 42-day detention plan - more than the 34 needed to defeat it. Home Secretary Jacqui Smith, mindful of a potential rebellion, has been meeting backbenchers to press her case. In a statement she said: "We all need to work together to tackle the terrorist challenge and we have consulted widely on the proposed measures. "We have listened to the concerns of community groups and others and the proposals brought forward today aim to strike the right balance between the need to protect human rights and ensuring police have the powers they need, when they need them, to tackle terrorism." Ms Smith added that the bill would work in combination with government efforts at "challenging extremist ideology". Asked earlier on BBC Radio 4's Today programme whether she was proposing legislation to deal with a hypothetical situation, the home secretary replied: "We are putting in a provision for if it becomes unhypothetical." Attempts to extend the limit to 90 days in 2005 ended in then prime minister Tony Blair's first Commons defeat. His successor, Gordon Brown, has said he believes all parties accept there could be circumstances under which it is necessary to hold someone beyond 28 days - such as the complexities of investigating a multiple terrorist plot. The government says it is better to act now in a considered way rather than find itself forced to respond to a future emergency But the Conservatives and civil rights group Liberty argue that current powers to call a national emergency are sufficient when faced with a case that requires going beyond 28 days. Shadow home secretary David Davis said: "The government has not been able to present a shred of evidence to justify extending pre-charge detention, and there is now a range of evidence pointing the other way. "The government should focus on practical measures to get the best use out of the existing 28-day period - measures like post-charge questioning and the use of intercept evidence to prosecute those involved in terror." Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg has said his party will join forces with the Tories to defeat the move in the Lords, if they do not manage to overcome Labour's majority in the Commons. He said: "The obsession with 42 days is undermining, not supporting, the battle against terrorism. "Ministers are taking their reliance on hypothetical examples to new lengths as they attempt to cover up for the complete lack of genuine evidence for such a move." The Commons home affairs committee and the Joint Committee on Human Rights (JCHR) comprising MPs and peers have both come out against extending the terror limit. Labour MP Keith Vaz, chairman of the home affairs committee, said: "We wouldn't support 42 days. "What we do support is an emergency provision, which will allow us to build on the Civil Contingency Act." An extension to 42 days would first have to be requested by a chief constable and a senior prosecutor - and would then be authorised by the home secretary. Parliament would be formally notified, but in practical terms any individual could be held for 42 days subject to approval of a senior judge. The Association of Chief Police Officers has pushed for an extension, saying more flexibility is needed. But others, including England's top prosecutor Sir Ken MacDonald and former attorney general Lord Goldsmith, have raised doubts. The register of convicted terrorists would hold personal details, such as home addresses, and it would be an offence not to keep police fully informed of any changes. In the most serious cases the government envisages that people will be on the list for life. Source: news.bbc.co.uk

^^^Why are there not alternative food joints? :confused: Here is a suggestion, carry a picture of murdered little kids in your wallet, so when you open it to pay for things, you will always see that and think twice. Lool, sorry I'll leave you alone.

^^^^ every little helps (them) and harms others. Next time look at that food, and say to yourself, I will not kill humans to feed my hungry Well at least M &S is feeling the squeeze, McDs and star bucks, damn Muslims love them too much... Lool I remember the good old days when I use to leaflet outside M &S with the socialist, the Somali people are really nice, they always use to say, okay I will not shop here again (don't know if they were telling the truth or just humouring me) the Arabs and the Asians were the worse, it was always, well what can I do, they make quality stuff, which I need. :rolleyes: :mad:

^^^^Loooool loool HAHAHAHAHA loool. Oh lord. I'm now fat and sick! haha lool. Go to the doc, and we'll say a little pray for you...

^^^^Loool @ Kudaafka iska eri!! Looool, HAHAHa lool, haha. gosh that is funny. lool. Yeah it sure is creepy when your brother suddenly becomes your "husband" How does one get their head round it!

^^^Are you kidding me, Waa no women allowed. In any case, I'm at uni. Chocolates are doing the job haada. Don't eat from McDs give your money to a company that won't use some of its profit to murder Muslims.

What ever it is. For me the issue is offending people online. This topic is the product of this topic. In SOL, we all get up and personal with each others views, sometimes (especially in the politics section) it gets personal. In my years here I have piss*ed a lot of people off, made some cry, others angry, some just fuming mad. Especially in the olden days when I had a different name, a different location and identity. Over the years as I aged, I mellowed out a bit, but even now I still drive some people mad, get people angry and sometimes I am just damn rude to people. Although at that moment I feel that they deserves it, upon reflecting, and often when I am in a good mood, I often feel guilty, especially when people sound genuinely upset. I always say to myself, I’m going to be more like Lily, Dahia or Ms DD and be nice to everyone. But obviously I forget, and since it is in my nature to be evil, annoying and provocative, it comes naturally to be all these things online. But what if you found out that someone who YOU was mean to here on SOL passed away, how will that affect you mentally, will you feel guilty, wish you was nicer to them, maybe said a kind word here and there, or perhaps asked for their forgiveness, after all you did not want to really hurt them (well I don’t) What about people who just drop off SOL, and you have no idea what happened to them, but while they were around, you annoyed them a little, made them sweat a little, even if they are unreasonable, mean and rude back to you, does that justify your actions (tit for tat) or make you feel better. Recently I often find myself thinking about things I say while blogging, or in forums because somehow, sometime ago the clear line between reality and cyber world started to blur, and the two started to compliment each other. What people say on SOL does not affect me offline, nor do I hold grudges, and I would feel sad if someone (even as Umu asked me, if not a fan of their posts) died or dropped off. But other people do take things to heart. Anyway in case any of you are planning to die, or end up dying or leaving SOL. I just want to say good luck in life (what is left of it) and I am sorry for 2007 and the start of 2008 if I’ve hurt your feelings. ....So what would you like to get off your chest.

^^^No I've never heard of that!! :eek: I don't like beauty products, they make me look worse. Umu I will, but for different reasons, I'm currently writing a post about this for the general, or should I just post i here toolow.

^^^ He is not really dead…is he?? I thought it was just a distasteful joke, right?

Looool @this thread. SO Thugged out...are you a girl or boy in realy life?? :confused:

^^^^Shid I just found/ figured out something!thanks for the hint. Damn you S.O.L Analyst!!

^^^^I wanted something that I can pick up in 5mins. Did you not hear that I'm straving.

^^^Interesting take on things. But I think that only works for certain type of people, I cannot trick my mind. In all cases it is very hard to close your eyes and ignore what you see or exposed to on daily basis. Everyone once in a while it will bring you down, but if you keep trying (and if enough people keep trying in their own way) I really do think it will and it can make a difference. In some places we may not live to see those changes, nor will the suffering easy as a direct result of your current action, but setting the institutions and building the capabilities now, may benefit others in 50yrs or so, it may mean that certain illness will not kill the poor on mass scale, or that dominate states can murder and massacre others, or people won't die of hungry in one place, while food is wasted in another. Obviously there is a high chance that the world will only get worse, with more injustices, higher gap of distribution of wealth, more wars etc. But even if a collective effort benefits one person, it must be better than doing nothing....well at least that is what I tell myself. Who knows maybe this is another way to make myself feel better……. Today I have a lot of work to do. Why I'm here?

^^^What is that?

I'm straving. Any ideas on what I can eat.

Me shut up waryaa maxaad laa qoosli!! Umu Zak My dear, don't take that the wrong way, I was just feeling a bit confused as to when I could have possible said it was okay to marry you brother (cuz). But if I may correct you a fellow Burcawii is not the same thing as a brother. Aaliyah good luck, it creeps me out to even think of it, let alone consider it. But I agree with Umu, obviously it is Halah and therefore acceptable. It is not common in the somali community, some of you seem to think it is??

^^^EXcuse Me?^^ When have ever said I think it is normal to mary your brother/ sisterAkhaas. :eek: There is no good enough reason to marry your brother. :mad:

Blessed: What!!? this thread is about people not wearing nigis? are you kidding me?? niiki diimaan waah waax kasta wuu aarkah this beats the trashi Sun headlines!

^^^^Loool Don't get arrested dear! like all super powers before you eh! loool About the talk....Overall the event was interest, derailing in many different directions, yet focused on a new way, a new approach and attitude. Dr. Helbawy was quite admirable, touched on many different aspects of Islam and most importantly Muslim’s attitudes in the west. Although a far cry from the original ideas of the Muslim brotherhood, some of its key fundamental arguments were visible in his talk. Well received and understood by the Muslim audience (who strangely enough were a minority) however it felt short of offering a basic understanding to the non-Muslims. Nevertheless, his talk was the most focused and attempted to address the theme of the talk. This part was okay. Then there was the government part, now I can be an idealist, and I can also be a liberal Muslim, yet it was not enough to make me appreciate Dr Mustafa Ceric solutions and suggestions. The talking point was that there is a conflict (always has been) between Sunni, Shia, and Al Khawariji. His bright idea was to alienate Khawariji, especially their political ideas, and at the same time create merge between Shia and Sunni authorities for one global Muslim leadership, to develop a universal peaceful Islam. to do this we must change mindsets blah blah blah, the rest you know.... Hello by the way

^^^^Loool, in house fighting! Blessed boooodka diigo. Berbera is too hot to fight! qiiiq baa kaa baaxayah!

What is a kastuumo, is there another somali word for it.
