I mean...there are far bigger causes to be dying for than "faraaxs". One thing is for sure..they need THERAPY in their lives..

how do you say "law" in Somali?

Hon, don't worry about it..your husband will either pretend to like your cooking or if its really that bad, he can cook if he wants. Women are not all born to be natural cookers (perfect example is me--cant cook for ish)..and neither are men..get the drift?

The liberation of women in Islam is far superior to Western liberation as it allows women to live with respect, dignity and equality in society. Maybe we ought to be discussing whether muslims are practicing true Islam. Because the way some muslims treat their womenfolk is hardly respectful, dignified or equal. So I dont think it's the west that you have to be convincing here... This sort of topic is getting quite tired. Can't we just bump the old threads up and contribute to those instead?

Dude, don't let the door hit you on the way out!

LMAO..hands down the best excuse I have heard for not wearing hijab the nerve Uhmm, I havent stated a reason why, even though Nur tried to come to his own conclusion, so I dont understand what you mean by excuse.

Originally posted by Khayr: a pro-fem culture and times You seem a little disgruntled. Actually, we live at a time where there is such a thing as DOMESTIC ABUSE. The law isn't pro-fem, but to ensure that when a woman calls the police because her man is beating her upside her head, that they can actually protect her from this abuse.

Originally posted by Adna: salaam to all of you the wife is claming with government that he is an abuser, an she afraid for helf self and the children. How do you know for sure that your brother doesn't beat her when they are alone?

Originally posted by Red Sea Casse: Assalamu Calaykum. This isn't directed towards anybody, but I just want to tell you that it's not wise to say anything about the religion if you have no knowledge of it, you should be asking questions instead of going into explaination of the difference between the Qur'an and the Hadith. The Quran and the Hadith are the two sides of the same coin. The hadith is the words of the Prophet explaining in full detail the words of the all mighty. They are insaprateple, to seperate them is a huge error. Once again for those of you who are trying to make us believe the hadith has nothing to do with the Quran. The Quran and the hadith are in full agreement with each other to say otherwise is like saying Prophet Muhammed brought his own faith and his teachings disagreed with what is in the Quran. Be careful and fear Allah and don't sin by creating wrong ideas with your minds. Read the Quran and Hadith and learn them before you start exposing your arogance on public forum. The non believers don't dare to utter such things, some nomads have found it easy to say garbage they have in their minds and put out there for us to read, what a bunch of morons this place holds. :mad: Assalamu Calaykum. Allah made us human being, some who are more inclined to search for the truth and not accept what their forefather's drilled into their head since birth. There is nothing wrong with asking VALID questions and pointing out things that don't make sense and demanding some answers. It's human nature!

Originally posted by HornAfrique: Xiin- All you have to ask SB is does he pray and if yes, how? That's the oldest trick in the book. Do you know how many times I heard that when asking about the aunthenticity of the Sunnah? It's a weak argument, because if the Sunnah (by way of Hadith) isn't aunthetic, that would make prayer statement not authentic as well. I think this type of response is programmed into a lot of muslim minds when asked this q...

Oh I forgot...I forgot about our patriarchial ways.. He has a Somali mother, therefore that makes him 100% Italian..BECAUSE HIS DADDY IS ITALIAN! did I get that right boys??? :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

No..he's half Italian.

Originally posted by Nur: RC OK, Let us address the premise that although you do not wear Hijab, Let's not.

I think you already have my answer there, whether you want to accept it or not.

Nur, No that is not the reason. Try again.

African-American women are more susceptible to many type of diseases because of their environment. Oprah really did a great episode showcasing the poor of America and I was surprised to learn that 10,000 african americans are homesless EVERYDAY (majority of them being single mothers and their children). Most of the people here dont have high education and its extremely hard to find jobs in this area as well. Imagine living cheque to cheque and not having a support system when you suddenly lose your job.

Originally posted by Devil's Advocate: Hijab is modesty..not in clothing but in spirit, k. So, yes, a man can be "hijabified" as well. Correction: not JUST in clothing....

lol ok? "You cant have one with out the other." Please prove this with a Quranic verse. "Judging or being suspicious of a person's ways or intention is haram. Please lets refrain from that. jazakumulaha kheyran." That goes for 99% of the threads on SOL. And I'm merely stating facts..I'm not actually a person persay. Jazakumulah Kheyr

Blessed, I wasnt under the impression that you were attacking my faith, but rather I was making a statement that because I dont cover my hair, that it may/may not make me any less of a muslim because only Allah can give that final verdict. I agree that "The Quran is very clear about the hijaab, it's consists of an attitude, intention, not looking at forbidden things and most importantly covering up" PI, you're missing the modesty of the inner self (as Blessed mentioned in the above post, and different from intention of wearing hijab on your head), and without that, it's really a joke.

I have a reason for not wearing it and unfortunately, its neither of the reasons Ismahan has condensed for us. You can call it rejection if you like..but I don't cover my hair..does that make me any less muslim? Lemme answer that for you: Only ALLAH (saw) knows.

Pi, I almost laughed. I guess you dont know the full definition of hijab..it's cool because many people believe it is a piece of material you cover your hair with.
