malika - you tell them please - agree with 100% on the above response/advice. Ibti - what men talk about their women or their friends women? oh, abraar (AT&T) does not count - he makes them up as habit - another words he invents them as entertainment. as for that article about the italian man complaining lost of impotence - well what is he to do when his own prime minister is in the limelight for the opposite being sued by his wife for fratenising with minors

Originally posted by juma-nne: sayid somal. that was a good question. I agree Somali communities in the diaspora have not achived their full potential. Having said that we cannot assume the reasons of their inefectivity or say incompetency. If you really want to know the real problem with these many Somali Communities running parallel to each other, you need to do some fact finding analysis. In your analysiss you need to look into the following things. 1. The person or group running the organization 2.Their baground, Education, leadership and even some other relevant personal background. 3.The mission and and goal set for their organization. 4. Their day today activities. Thir achievements. 5. Their members. And any other relevant info. that you think would help you. After collecting such info then the next step is to set up some survey questions. and with the experiene you got from you previous analysis, you can build a neat survey strategy. Involve the ordinary somali community members served by those community organizations. If you want you can also look into the well run community organizations that can act as benchmark to your survey analysiss. Otherwise you can conclude the problems with the Somali community after doing this. i agree with presumption are the mother of all mistakes and it would be good idea to do a proper research with well defined objectives - but knowing the suspiciousness of our people, they would most definitely ask you "Ma waxaad rabta in aad macagayaga lacag ku qaadati?" and "haddaadan lacagta wax naga siin kuma cawineyno!". so before you even begin your research is dead in the water. Cawaale do share please - just generic bits of it and what you thought the causes of that were.

^or better yet, you can go to Iranian - "markii aad dan lee dahay" as you put it -

^why don't you answer these questions below as honestly as you can? -What is provable evidence? -where do consciousness comes from? -Do you use reason and logic? Are these faculties limited?

LX - your first response to MMA - waxaad u gaftay nin muslim ah. toobad keen. second response about the entity - i agree with you. there are plenty of non somalis who are better than many somalis without doubt just as there are many somalis who better than millions of non somalis and somalis alike. it is all relative.

-What is provable evidence? -where do consciousness comes from? -Do you use reason and logic? Are these faculties limited? sometimes we have more questions than answers? I Firmly Belief in Allah (SWT) and His -Angels -Prophets -Scriptures -Al-qada wa Al-qadar = the divine decree and the predestination -The Last Day I don't have the need nor the want to proof any of these beliefs to anyone nor can i even if i tried. What matters to me is my belief makes sense to me more than anything else. i am at peace with myself and my beliefs and i am quite content with them.

Cadey (miswak or nature's toothbrush) - should have not brought one to work today - now everyone (well at least half dozen) are asking me to buy it for them for Ciid instead of my usual Xalwa and Balakalava sweets

President Mubarak is reported to have intervened personally in the case of an Egyptian student who failed her secondary school exams after criticising the United States and her own government in an essay. Reports said President Mubarak had ordered her papers to be re-marked, and the student subsequently passed. The story of the young student, Alaa Farag Megahed, has been widely reported in the Arab media and was even debated in the Egyptian parliament. The 15-year-old girl was summoned and questioned by the authorities over whether she was a member of a secret organisation after it emerged that in her exam essay she accused Washington of backing corrupt dictators at the expense of the needs of their people. As a result, she failed the test. 'Personal gesture' But now the state-owned daily, al-Ahram wants to reassure its readers that Egypt, despite all appearances, is a democracy. (yeah right) Under the headline "A personal gesture from Mubarak", the newspaper reported that the president himself had spoken to the young student on the phone and reassured her that she was free to say what she liked. But the newspaper did not report what the student had written in her essay. :cool: (hmmm) Instead, it quoted the young girl saying how grateful she was to Mr Mubarak and that she had asked him to visit her town in the Nile Delta. The newspaper report ends with the unattributed phrase "Long Live Mubarak". The news of Mr Mubarak's intervention comes only days after a prominent newspaper editor, along with one of his reporters, were sentenced to one year in jail for insulting the president. The paper had reported the efforts of an Egyptian man to sue Mr Mubarak and his family for allegedly squandering foreign aid and turning the republic into a monarchy - a reference to growing suspicion that the president's youngest son, Gamal, is being groomed to succeed the 78-year old president.

Salaam Val, People are just less patient when fasting - apparenlty the arguement started with a muslim revert from the caribbean telling an Arab what he was doing was wrong. it was just shouting match and everyone putting their two cents in.

ngonge replacing jb - shoe does not fit. no wonder you where on about the tuulo thing about earlier. btw - one person is not a delegation - he could have been a new singer (white man singing in somali)for all we know. beside you can't do it like my brothers in the north east - they own propoganda, faanka, and alien names. even Jb trails behind them, so give up before you bite the dust.

scrap that. today at the masjid a fight nearly broke out - imaam was begging people to remembar it is ramadaan.

A man went to the Police Station wishing to speak with the burglar who had broken into his house the night before. "You'll get your chance in court," said the Desk Sergeant. "No, no no!" said the man. "I want to know how he got into the house without waking my wife. I've been trying for years." p.s. he was short man
