Originally posted by Zephyrine: It also gives Blair and Bush several more reasons to go and carpet bomb another Muslim country. Blair and Bush need no more reasons to carpet bomb another Muslim country. This is about power; you don't need reasons. What can stop their power is power.

Originally posted by Zephyrine: Every single act committed so far has hurt Muslims more than it has hurt those that it was supposedly aimed at (the western governments). So what does that say? Those behind the bombings would disagree with you. They have calculated it will significantly hurt the UK's economy, in both the short and long terms. The financial markets of the West cannot withstand insecurity & instability in any degree or form. Just think about how much the UK's public transportation system would stand to lose (9 millions taking the tube & buses every day). The goal of those behind the bombings is to bleed the UK's economy. Recession is to be expected in a few years. The lost of $billions in prospective investments is to be expected. High rate of unemployment is to be expected. Allocating a good chunk of the budget in securing the country is to be expected.

Originally posted by Zephyrine: but the Brits didn't invade Somalia Are you sure? Last I knew, there used to be a British Somaliland. And there were quite ugly massacres. so what's your point? My point being, one doesn't need be a Somali to to get involved in this world issue; one only needs be a Muslim. What hurts one Muslim hurts another.

Originally posted by Sniper: Hopefully Somalis in UK are not ****** enough to get involved in this world issue. What does this has to do with being ****** enough? Suppose you were peacefully living in Somalia, and without provocarion the Brits invaded it, and along the way massacred your family members- now, do you need to be ****** enough to to get involved in this world issue?

Insightful. JazakAllah for sharing.

This is going to hurt the UK's economy. This will gradually turn the UK into a police state.

Good analysis. While the US is bogged down in Iraq & Afghanistan, other giants are leisurely emerging on the horizon. It's not a closed secret the US would get replaced as an economic/military giant in a span of few decades. The US' ambitions in Iraq & Afghanistan have gone awry. Its plans of oil prices reaching $6/barrel have been proven to be illusion. The US alienated secular leaders/governments of the Middle East as a result of invading Iraq. It's not a secret those leaders/governments are supporting the Iraq insurgency in various formats (financially, logistically, armamentary, etc). As a result, a long protracted struggle has to be expected. There's also bin Laden's promises to bleed the US' economy. No wonder a good chuck of the US' budget is dedicated for the military, security, counter terrorism, and other gun related sectors. I don't think this would lead to WW3, because it would result in mutual annihilation. Instead, confrontations would happen in the form of supporting an armed opposition of the foe, in order to force a slowing.

Originally posted by OLOL: richest nation on earth, United States of America The truth in the above statement is stretched. The US might be the richest nation on earth, quantitatively, not qualitatively. L'Italia, a country considered at the bottom of West Europe, has a better qualitative lifestyle than the US. A comparison of the following product made in each country is ample example:

Originally posted by Zephyrine: Do you mean back home? Do you know how many hours/day on average girls/women in Somalia spend in speaking and interacting with extended family members and friends? That social lifestyle is imprinted in your genetics. There are Somali girls/women in the West who on average spend a combined less than an hour/day in social activities.

Originally posted by Zephyrine: Am I going mad? No. This appears to be a symptom of solitude. Generations of your family have led an active social lifestyle. You're leading a somewhat opposite lifestyle. It takes generations to adapt to such lifestyle. This is about your metabolism reacting against your lifestyle.

Originally posted by STOIC: We know the problem exist but do we have solutions? The solution: Islamic leadership. We know that ummah is weak and backward compared to the world standard. You're overestimating the technological advancements of the West. Those advancements, especially conventional militarism, have limitations. Besides, the Muslim world has the potential to become technologically advanced (Malaysia being a limited example), granted there's a proper leadership. It has also the potential to slow the West's advancements. All this is an evidence that ummah is incapable of competing with the rest of the world. Do you think the West will allow a competing? Do you know what it means the Ummah producing a nuclear warhead for every similar one (or a quarter/half) the West produces? ...shall we look back and see how the ummah have failed to make use of the Islamic spirit of sacrifice and sincerity in one's action? It's leaderships who have failed the Ummah.

Originally posted by Warrior of Light: Make sure you walk every evening with your wife, tell her to cut down the cravings(coca cola, and other junk food)advocate healthy eating, explain to her the importance of healthy weight gaining the adverse effect it can cause her n her child. Read books on this issue and discuss, well she is ur soul mate uve got to communicate.Need to be very supportive as she is going through a hard time. And dont forget spiritual guidance, remind her of her obligations to the child she is bearing so she stops complaining and overfeeding herself, instead increase her dhikr. Those are practical positive measures.

I am only concerned about those women in the West (US, Europe, possibly Australia). The environment & atmosphere in Somalia doesn't help one to get obese. As how it can be curbed; limit significantly red meat, fat & oil consumptions, while increasing fruits, veggies and seafood. Also, exercise for 30 minutes/day, at least by walking.

Originally posted by STOIC: I just finished reading "The Yibiir of Las Burgabo".If you ever thought that Somalis are not bigots you will read this book with a feeling of revulsion. Is the book fact-based or fiction? If the first, I am tempted to read it.

Originally posted by wiil_duco: Can we came up an idea that we can get out of these loss Build a political and military organization similar to Hizbullah. In addition to having a military wing, the organization will maintain a civilian arm, which runs hospitals, schools, orphanages and a television station. You wrote: we triad to came togather as one nation who share one reliogon one launguag one cluture but some how we can't came together Somalis didn't genuinly try to come together as one nation who shares one religion. Religion is the only factor that can unite Somalis and solve their troubles. Somalis have different languages & cultures. Af-Maay differs from af-Soomaali. The culture of riverine people differs from the culture of nomads. Just a few examples of linguistic and cultural differences, which aren't important or critical factors to unite Somalis.

I don't see the point in tracking down and convicting men like Sarwar Zardad. Such men are abound today in Afghanistan, thanks to the US, the UK and the coalition. What's the point of convicting a Sarwar Zardad when the coalition has expanded the existence of hundreds Sarwar Zardads?
