Dude you suck! I could pretty much taste her enthusiasm...and pretty fine it was, but why the video? WHY?

^ Liar.

Malika do you not believe in an after life?

If it were, we would wipe underneath the socks instead of on top during mashah (the alternative to washing the feet during ablution)" Ali bin Abi Talib We are muslims. We have believed and surrendered our will to Allah and we accept without questioning. This is what Islam is. Perhaps you can say that about the basic tenets of Islam. But these 'hadiths', how many were made up by someone on crack? You've got to question the sheer madness not to mention the pointlessness of some of them. You may think the Quran is infallible, but hadiths aren't so why is Alliyah going to stop wearing her hair in a phallic () shape without questioning the randomness of the hadith? I can almost see the chain of events that could've provoked such a weird restriction.. Young Abdalla shockingly finds himself tantalised by a camel hump, try as he might he can't escape the shame and his wife unwittingly mocks him with the latest 'do'....damn the woman! And a hadith is born

I can remember my madrasa beatings vividly, it's a wonder many children didn't drop dead.

I'm not banned from commenting, and I think I know what Apophis would like to say - stuff and nonsense. I don't mean to upset SOLers, but how anyone can think of worshipping a deity who's concerned about such trivial stuff is beyond me. I thought plucking facial hair was as bad as it got! Doesn't it seem odd that a woman should suffer for eternity over this, for wearing perfume, showing a strand of hair, not yielding to her husband whenever he's frisky.......? Oba, what do you think?

I think it's a Somali thing, stepping way back. I can almost hear someone saying 'ka carar' or some such Like when dogs appear on the streets

^ He's my male alter ego, which one of me would you prefer to ravish you? Think carefully before answering

The only Nabokov book I've read is Lolita, and his command of the English language matches Hardy & Dickens. Joseph Conrad books aren't easy reads, The Heart of Darkness cured me of ever touching another of his creations. Is Salman Rushdie considered a native English writer? His writing leaves a lot to be desired either way, likewise that fool Paolo Cuelho. A Grain of Wheat by Ngugi wa Thiongo is a well written, albeit slightly boring book

I haven't read a fantasy for so long I actually feel like a teen reading Harry Potter for the first although the comparison is so wrong however lol. I've heard so much about the religious mythology/philosophical battles of Christian eschatology, Hinduism and Budhism's Nevada/ wheel of creation. Lakin 13 books with more to come! One long story. I am current reading the Life of Pi for the obvious reason. Must read the book before the movie. Forget Life of Pi! Robert Jordan has come close to replacing Miguel de Cervantes as my favourite story teller, I admit the Eye of the World took quite a while to pick up but you won't want to put down The Great Hunt. Of course there'll be people likening the stories to myths (religion included) and various philosophies, but the stories are more than that, it's about the characters, sword fights, harrowing adventures and wolves! I feel like I've discovered fantasy for the first time, there are so many lacking fantasy books out there, I can't believe I never heard of Robert Jordan till I stumbled on the Eye of the World in my local library..the Wheel weaves as the Wheel wills Read young Reeyo and may the light be with you!

I think it's brilliant, the amount of times I've had to fight my base urges, the struggles I've had with myself to not go around grabbing men and having my way with them on the very streets! This guy looks like he knows a thing or two about handsome men and oh how they make us forget we're human...

Salinger I started frequenting jazz bars because of Jack Kerouac. Lolita is a good book, a really good book if you can stomach it. The F U C K Up by Arthur Nersesian Jude The Obscure by Thomas Hardy, I've read it 4 times. I picked up the Wheel Of Time two weeks ago, and I'm already on the 5th book. If anyone likes fantasy this is one of the best, by Robert Jordan. Last but definitely not least, Don Quixote. The book that keeps giving.

^^ Have you people never heard of the West Country? There's more to this bloody island than London and the North...

Are you the woman in the picture (I cannot think of another reason for creating such a useless thread and I've got quite the imagination...)?

Long-winded narrative aside, the fact that she considers herself 'privileged' for having a clitoris pretty much sums up the sad reality of what it means to be Somali and female.

Juxa nope, in fact I've only just realised that for all the years I spent living in sh!t holes, sharing flats with ghastly, smelly people, I could've claimed. I spent two years paying 80% of my earnings on a studio the size of a shoebox (had enough of sharing), barely enough money for Jim Beam, when there were/possibly still are unemployed people living in £500 a week houses in St Johns Woods?!? Off with their Housing Benefits I say, http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2012/oct/15/bed-and-breakfast-families-crisis?INTCMP=SRCH I found this article infuriating, it's incredulous, even for the Guardian. I was just wondering how many Somali's have been affected, haven't come across any stories thus far.. Apophis, I actually thought my vote would make a difference, shouldn't have got off the floor for them (mine is a story of bedlessness and woe). Seriously though, I probably will vote again and if by some miracle the Lib Dems get their act together and demand an election, I'm voting for the Official Monster Raving Loony party.

The caps on housing benefits must adversely affect Somali households, does anyone know of any individuals/families getting their benefits reduced/withdrawn?

What no jokes? There's room for at least one variation of the ubiquitous don't drop the soap joke.....

Seriously wish I could blag like Naik, he's so unabashed about making sh!t up. He realised a long time ago filling in the blanks with one's imagination beats studying, also guarantees a huge following
