Ahlan/Hello Kuli/Everyone, Its been long time since the last time i blessed this place with my visit. Hope all is well and well is all. Now as for the topic - Would any of you be kind enough to suggest a maximum of five somali movies that can stand to scrutiny of non-somali and second generation somalis. I ask this as i am involved with a project by British Films Institute (BFI) to raise the profile of Somali films. Many thanks to those who contribute

where can i get hold these sorts of books ??? ANYONE

Unbelievable . This topic is quite interesting as it showed me more than ever that My PEOPLE (Somalis) are fairly anomalous and disunited beyond belief. May Allah unite my people and all members of the Muslim Ummah. AMIIN Prophet Mohammed (SCW) said; My Ummah will split into 72 groups and out of that ONLY ONE group will enter Paradise, and that group will be the group that follows the way of the Prophet and his Companions. But I must praise those that conduct themselves with sense of order, control over their tongues and dignity in replying to the opposite.

Cajiib indeed

Masha'Allah

War deg deg ah Inaa lilaahi wa inaa ilayhi raajucuun - Gabar Muslimad oo reer Cumaan ah oo Ilaahay u badalay Xayawaan aan la garanayn kadib markii ay dhulka ku xoortey quraanka Kariimka. Masqad, Cumaan Masqad Sida ay qortay shabakada wararka afka carabiga eee lagu magacaabo Alnilin waxaa ka dhacdey dalka Cumaan qiso la yaab leh oo dadka xusuusisay awoodda iyo weynaanta Ilaahay kadib markii gabar dhalinyaro ah oo reer Cumaan ah ay ku tuurtey dhulka Kitaabka Quraanka Kariimka ah kadibna ay isku bedeshay Xayawaan aan la garaneny. Gabartaas ayaa markii uu Ilaahay imtixaanaayay waxa ay dhagaysanayso heeso iyadoo si kor ah u dhagaysanayso, hooyadeedna ay ku ag akhrisanaysay aayado ka mid ah Kitaabka Quraanka Kariimka ah. Gabartii ayaa iyadoo dhibsanayso Quraanka Kariimka Kariimka ah ku tiri hooyadeed:" War naga tag waxaa nagu dhibtey quraankaan aad mar walba na daba wadid". Hooyadii dhashay gabarta ayaa goobteedii iska fadhiday iskana sii wadatay quraankii ay akhrisanaysay. Gabartii ayaa inta istaagtay waxa ay dhulka ku tuurtey Kitaabka Quraanka Kariimka ah kadibna hooyadii ayaa inta soo istaagtay waxa ay wadnaha ku qabsatay Kitaabkii Quraanka ahaa. Gabartii ayaa markaas suuxdey oo waxa ka doorsoomay miirka iyadoo isla markii dhulka ku dhacdey Ilaahayna uu suuradeeda ama muuqaalkeeda u badalay xayawaan aan la arkeynin. Inaalilaahi Wa inaa Ilayhi raajicuun. Ilaahow naga ilaali cadaabyadaada faraha badan ee noocyada Badan. Inaa lilaahi wa inaa ilayhi raajicuun.

Local teen faces terror charge Feds claim he was trying to supply Somali rebels Greg Livadas Staff writer (November 10, 2004) — Federal authorities have arrested an Irondequoit man who they say wished he was flying a hijacked plane during the Sept. 11 attacks and planned to help terrorists in Somalia. Mark Robert Walker, who turns 19 today, was arrested Saturday in El Paso, Texas, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. Authorities claim Walker planned to fly to Somalia to fight for a Somali Islamic government and was planning to buy and transport night-vision goggles and bulletproof vests for members of the terrorist group Ittihad Al Islamiya. The State Department designated that group a terrorist organization in April 2003. Court information says Walker, charged with providing material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization, is a student at Wyoming Technical College, also known as WyoTech, in Laramie. According to neighbors, Walker moved from the West Coast to a home on Chestnut Hill Drive, off St. Paul Boulevard, in June with his parents, Donald and Susan Walker. The Walkers could not be reached for comment. According to court information, Walker is accused of using a roommate's computer and acted as an administrator for a jihadist Web site. Among the comments he allegedly made on the computer: "I hate the U.S. gov't; I wish I could have been flying one of the planes on Sept. 11." An FBI source said Walker was posting on a forum list under the names of "Abdullah" and "Abdullah313." Officials say Walker's roommate contacted police in Laramie about the suspicious activity. On Oct. 28, the roommate, who was not identified, confronted Walker about the information he found on his computer and said he contacted the police. Walker then fled from Wyoming and hadn't been in contact with his family until his arrest, officials said. Officials allege that Walker was using an Internet café in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, to line up a meeting with someone known as "Khalid" at the El Paso airport Saturday afternoon. A notice to border patrols was issued about Walker on Friday, and he was detained about 7 a.m. Saturday while driving alone from Mexico into El Paso, Texas, according to Roger Maier, a spokesman for U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Walker allegedly told authorities he planned to travel to Somalia and had $2,100 in hundred dollar bills to buy the night-vision goggles and bulletproof vests. No prohibited items were found in his car. Walker appeared in federal court in Texas; he is being held without bail at the El Paso County Detention Facility. GLIVADAS@DemocratandChronicle.com Link

Inaa-Lilahi wa inaa ilayhi raajicuun "Illahow ada naxarisle - Maxamed Ismaacil uu naxariso, denbigisanah u caf, Janada fordowsanah ka waraabi" " Amiin "Illahow anaganah sido kale dembigayaga noo caf - Ahelkisa iyo asxaabtisna Samar iyo Imaan ka sii" Amiin I am really shocked beyond understanding - When i heard of his death - it was from a sister in somalia online - who had angerly told me off for persistantly asking her to reply to an question i put to her earlier. I thought it was some sort of excuse to avoid my question - then i saw this topic - having put the two together - i realised and really felt sad. Geridu waa Xaq - Illahay how naxaristo itii dhimatay iyo intii nolba - Amiin Sayid

I am a Hustler I am a Holy Man I am a Marine I am a Moryaan I am a Dottore I am a Driver I am: what I wannabe I am a Warlord I prey on the weak Steal from the poor Rob from the dead Kill and rape Pillage and burn I am a Warlord! I inject pain Administer sorrow I Relish the agony of grieving mothers The lament of defeated fathers The vanishing glimpse of a wasted child I am a Warlord! I am a locust I chew on cables and concrete Munch on signatures of history Wreck havoc on monuments and museums Harvest gold and silver from the dead I am a Warlord! I am a bulldozer I destroy and devastate Steal the gifts of God Harvest the birds and the bees Poison the seas Cut the trees I Cultivate hunger and hate I am a Warlord! I Sow and sell substance that kill Peddle doomed aspirin to cousins and kin Trade dead-trees carcasses to Shaytaans and Sheikhs I am a Warlord When implored to stop Told not to kill and steal Not to destroy and rape Told not to reap the wrath of God I shrug and laugh Roar and roll Peek at my crystal ball See an enemy bleep I flash my clan card Dawn my Reer 1 jacket Peek at my crystal ball And yell Tola=eey! Tola=eey! Cousins and kin! Sons of mighty men of yore! In Mogadishu and Minnesota Resist and fight! The enemy is near! The end is here! I am a Warlord When the dust settles And the dough is down The bullet scarce I flash the peace sign Recite the Quraan Don my three-piece suit Jump on a plane And call upon the Man I am a Warlord! When I return to my den I return to what I do best Prey on the weak Steal from the poor Rob from the dead Kill and rape Pillage and burn I am a Warlord! DO YOU LOVE ME?? by Ahmed Hure (Hiiraan) For me this poem describes at best "the Somali warlord"
