It is sinful for you to insult Allah’s creation. So careful for your own sake. It is sad instead of educating kids at a young age and guiding them properly, some parents have resorted to kidnapping and forceful marriages. Marrying her off to some Farah is not going to make her a better person, nor will it change her. If she is smart she’d go along with it, return to Canada and do as she pleases after that and never return. We cannot keep our kids (specially when they become adults in box’s) Inevitability they have to make their own choices in life, which we may or may not approve. But if you did your part as a parent, you have nothing to worry about.

All these guys oo aah cooking pros baa iga yaabi, Canno geel and / Or Farah Brown Can you adopt my brother for a few weeks and teach him a few things baal. I am also considering send you few more referrals for adda ann aqanno oo hopless aah. Khina I now have another reason to come by yours coconut baariis and caadiyad! hmmm

^Hehe. lol. Oh Poor Saudis Studying Abroad :rolleyes: About time they suffer a little eh.

Talk coming up next month if anyone is interested. MEDIA COVERAGE OF THE ‘WAR ON TERROR’ Agenda setting, public opinion and foreign policy Date: 24th November 2007 Venue: King’s College, The Strand Campus, University of London, UK. This conference gathers academics, journalists, researcher, policy makers and civil society organisations to discuss the coverage of the American led ‘War on Terror’ by various news media organisations and its implications on public opinion as well as formation of foreign policy. After September the 11th 2001 attacks the American government launched a new ‘war’ ostensibly to eradicate extremism and ‘terrorism’ amongst groups of Muslim faith around the world. A war that has been seen by some as a war on Islam and Muslims which replaces the long standing Cold War withthe former USSR. This ‘war’ has been creating lots of controversies from around the world. The western as well Arab media seem to be standing at opposite directions. The distorted media image of the Arab people is becoming ingrained in Western culture and continues to inhibit a resolution of the foreign policy of such countries as the USA, UK and France. In order to show the extent of the harm caused by distorted images, examples from news coverage will be offered. Pertinent to the image problem are illustrations of how misperceptions from the past have helped and continue to help influence policymakers' actions and decisions. Fair portrayals and accurate information are essential to foreign policy decisions; false images and incorrect information may corrupt the policymaking process. Conference themes: - Western and Arab media coverage of the ‘War on Terror’ - How independent is Western media from the agendas of their respectivegovernments - To what extent is the coverage of CNN, BBC, Al-Jazeera and others affected by the foreign policy agenda of their governments? - Arab VS Western media: are we watching the same coverage? - Who sets the agenda: The media or politicians? - The impact of such coverage on public opinion, namely the increase of islamophobia around the world? - Does the coverage of terrorism results in the increase of the phenomenon itself? - To what extend does the media coverage gives credibility to the clash of civilisations thesis? - Use of propaganda by states and organizations, and the impact of media coverage on public opinion Confirmed Speakers: - Mr. Leon Barkho: Jönköping University, Sweden - Dr Ibrahim Saleh, American University in Cairo, Egypt - Prof Marie Gillespie, Open University, UK - Dr Ben O'Loughlin, Royal Holloway,University of London - Dr Makram Khoury: Cambridge University, Cambridge - Dr Noureddine Miladi, University of Northampton/ CAMMRO - Mr Anas Altikriti, The Cordoba Foundation - Dr Muhammad Ahsan, FRSA, UK - Prof. Hillel Nossek, College of Management Academic Studies, Tel Aviv - Ms Debbie James Smith, Wayne State University, Detroit, Michigan - Ms Zahera Harb, Cardiff School of Journalism, UK - Mr James Lewry, London School of Economics - Dr Melek Atabey, Eastern Mediterranean University, Turkey - Ms Judith Vidal-Hall, Index on Censorship, London - Dr Stuart Price, De Montfort University, UK - Dr. Khalid Al Mubarak Mustafa, Sudan Embassy, London - Mr Sulaiman Arti, Loughborough University, UK - Ms Cristina Archetti, Leeds University, UK - Dr. Mohammad Zafar Iqbal, International Islamic University,Islamabad,Pakistan - Ms Faiza Qureshi, Loughborough University, UK - Ms Gwen Bouvier, University of Wales, Aberystwyth - Miss Olivia Allison, King’s College, University of London - Mr Raffaello Pantucci, International Institute, for Strategic Studies(IISS), UK - Ian Taylor, Loughborough University, UK - Dr Mohamedd Safar Hasim, Universiti Kebangsaan, Malaysia - Dr Adrian Brockett, York St John University, UK - Mr Afshin Rattansi, GMTV and Bloomberg News, London - Dr. Wail Ismail A.

Some people should invest in a nice pair of reading glasses, either than or they lack comprehension. I answered the question above if the answer was bugging you so much. :rolleyes: Lool @rounds, gosh. I must stop laughing loool. Did you think waa boxing match! Lool HAhaha. Loool @credit goes to skipper, nepthy and NB! Loool. HAHa Nayaah I told you ages ago stop hiding behind others. Waxaad raabit sheego in plain simple language. Sheekaad kaalee iska daaf, it has nothing to do with you. Maxa adiga kuu daaran? He said, I said etc sheko maaha. Who asked for your advise?? And who cares what kind of special case I am, nacasnimad meel laa faadiso. You poor thing, you took Zenobia sisterly advise as her tag teaming. :rolleyes: talk about over estimated yourself. Lol P.s. You can say as you please for the next ten days. I shall ignore you. But after that iis jiri. I’m going to follow you like your own shadow, just so you know how annoying it is. In the mean time enjoy yourself

^^^Lool I forgot, Burcoo qaaq baad kaa timi awaal But I think "PGSS" laa sheegayo waxbaa kaa jiriah as well.

It's simple. It's called PGSS - Prolonged Gulf Stay Syndrome. One of the symptoms is the conviction that ladies should mind hearth and home and not fill their pretty(hopefully) little heads with anything else Loool @Thepoint. HAHAHA Do you think so? Yeah that might explain things. Paragon! Loool. I hate that clip so much, seriously I don't even think it is funny.

You would think since 2002 you would grow up a little, but I guess that is expecting too much. :rolleyes: Find someone else to annoy baan kuu irid and nacad naaga jooji. I have no patience with you. Zenobia: Waax maa eela aagratee, I think your back to basic advise for these people is a good idea. P.s. Lool @ pound store, you Londoner! Sorry everyone for hijacking the Ramadan thread. Here is some useful reading to make up for making you read utter rubbish above. The last ten days of Ramadan Though all parts of Ramadan are full of blessings and rewards, its last ten days hold a special status reflected in the recommendations and practices of the Messenger of Allah, salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam, and his companions. 1-Praying in the last ten nights of Ramadan Al-Bukhari and Muslim record from 'Aishah that during the last ten days of Ramadan, the Messenger of Allah would wake his wives up during the night and then remain apart from them (that is, being busy in acts of worship). A narration in Muslim states: "He would strive [to do acts of worship] during the last ten days of Ramadan more than he would at any other time." Aisha reported that With the start of the last ten days of Ramadan, the Prophet used to tighten his waist belt (i.e. work hard) and used to pray all the night, and used to keep his family awake for the prayers. [bukhari] 2-Performing I`tikaf in the Masjid (seclusion in the Mosque) 3-Seeking Laylatul-Qadr (the Night of Decree) The Muslim should seek out Lailatui-Qadr in the odd nights of the last ten: the night of the twenty-first, the twenty-third, the twenty-fifth, the twenty-seventh and the twenty-ninth. If he is too weak or unable to seek it out in all the odd nights, then let him seek it out in the odd nights of the of seven: the night of the twenty-fifth, the twenty-seventh and the twenty-ninth And Allah knows best. Allaah's Messenger , salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam, described the morning after Lailatul-Qadr, so that the Muslim may know which day it is. From Ubayy, radhiya Allahu 'anhu, who said: that he, salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam, said: "On the morning following Lailatui-Qadr the sun rises not having any rays, as if it were a brass dish, until it rises up."[Muslim, Abu Dawud, Tirmithi and Ibn Majah] Abu Hurairah, radhiya Allahu 'anhu, said : "We were discussing Lailatul-Qadr in the presence of Allah's Messenger so he said : 'Which of you remembers [the night] when the moon arose and was like half a plate?... [Muslim] Ibn 'Abbaas, radhiya Allahu 'anhuma, said: Allaah's Messenger, salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam, said: "Lailatul-Qadr is calm and pleasant, neither hot nor cold, the sun arises on its morning being feeble and red." [at-Tayaalisee, Ibn Khuzaimah and al-Bazzaar with a Hasan Isnad] Make sure you say: "O Allaah You are The One Who pardons greatly, and loves to pardon, so pardon me.". [at-Tirmithi and Ibn Majah with a Sahih Isnad] Pray to Allah All Mighty Most Merciful to bless us this Ramadan by witnessing Laylatul-Qadr

How do you get time to write all this, and during Ramadan as well! seriously time most stop/ go slower for you. P.s. Good stuff.

Originally posted by Northerner: ^^Your just looking forward to sleeping in :rolleyes: North why are you being so negative dear. From the moment I started this thread you have dismissed my course (implying it is easy enough for a lay man to do it, providing I pay you , bullied me, character assissentated my student potential by assuming I'm going to skipping lessons, and NOW you are undermining my reasons for going back to education. What gives baal. Khalaf thanks.

^^^Lool^ You are making no sense. Resist or Welcome it, It is going to get you. I think the older you get, the longer you want to live.

^^^Lool^ There are few things in life that you can be absolutely sure of with certainty. One of them is death. Now with vast amount of information we have been given, most of us are pretty comfortable with death. I personally don't mind death as such. In fact I always think the earlier you die the better, mainly because you would have less time to accumulate sins, but then the longer you live the longer you have to repent nooh? Oh never mind.

Did you go to the doc? have a scan old man, you might discover it is not your old age, but some damage you've had all these years. Oh and there is no such thing as close call. You will die when you are suppose to die. Regardless of your plans. I think we should welcome death.

^^^loool^^ Thanks. Oh dear me, yes of course, the horror of having to read it twice baad iga safe gaariesa, as I already posted on the other thread for her to see. Which in essence means that I'd be toast by 2morrow with italic black eyes Lool HAha

And now it has decided to post two threads of the same thing.

^^^Loool You know I posted that on the other thread hrs ago, I don't really know how it got on this thread! :confused: Strange things have happened. P.s. I guess aniga eeriyaan now

^^^LOOl @ 14 haba sheegin, you're beyond repair! Loool HAHA. That is so true. But in saying that, when sale time comes all I can find are size 16+ I always wonder where the sale for the smaller size are. Speaking of size I saw on the metro today that that X factor flop Chico is releasing a song about how good curvy women are I don't know how he got involved in the size zero debate! I hate trying clothes on in fitting rooms, but I can normally tell by looking at the item if I can fit in or if it will swallow me. For the perfect fit you would have to try it on. I heard they are looking at standardizing sizes etc. Hopeful with some results.
