Right On Brother.

Cas, I have, I thought of him as one contrary mother sucker. This guy is completely insane; he says one thing and before the sentence is done says something completely opposite. Ps: I was so hoping that he would say, he sometimes referred to Somalia online for ideas and opinions.

By Orrin C. Judd web posted March 20, 2006 Best-selling novelist Robert Ferrigno burst onto the crime thriller scene with his critically-acclaimed 1990 debut, The Horse Latitudes. With his penchant for rendering truly scary psycho-killer villains against a sunny Southern California backdrop, he soon developed a reputation for delivering a combination of what NY Times mystery reviewer Marilyn Stasio termed, "frantic energy" and "macabre fun." But his new futuristic thriller, Prayers for the Assassin, represents a considerable departure. In the year 2040, New York City, Washington, D.C. and Mecca have all been devastated by nuclear warheads, the attacks admitted to by Mossad agents who were trying to drive a wedge between the West and the Islamic world (giving the event the title the Zionist Betrayal). The resulting chaos has led to the creation of an Islamic States of America, making up most of the Northern and Western states of the old Union. An uneasy truce exists with the Bible Belt states of the South after a long civil war, and the Catholic Church is tolerated, but the federal government is essentially an Islamic republic. Within this richly imagined context, Mr. Ferrigno sets the story of Rakkim Epps, a former elite soldier in the American Fedayeen, and Sarah Dougan, a young historian who has uncovered evidence that casts doubt on the official version of the Zionist Betrayal. The two were raised by Redbeard, the head of State Security -- Rakkim an orphan he found on the street; Sarah, the daughter of Redbeard's assassinated brother. When Sarah disappears, Redbeard asks the estranged Rakkim to find her, without revealing why she's gone into hiding. As he searches, Rakkim soon finds himself shadowed by Darwin, an assassin and psychopath, who serves the Wise Old One, a fundamentalist leader who thinks Redbeard and others in the government too moderate. All of the author's usual chops are on full display, so fans and thriller readers will be satisfied, but the background he provides will interest even policy wonks and political mavens. Fiction is used here to make us consider why a billion people choose Islam and whether it's too far-fetched to think that Americans might find it attractive under the right circumstances. As Mark Steyn said in his review, "If it's a choice between the defeatism and self-loathing of the Piss Christified West and a stern unyielding eternal Allah, maybe it's Islam that will prove the great seducer." Mr. Ferrigno kindly took time out from his author's tour to answer some questions about where he got his ideas for the novel and what he hopes readers will take away from it. The Interview

^My sentiment exactly. I posted this topic just to share what’s going around and how the devil is working overtime to plant seeds of doubt.

If Bush ruled the world William Pfaff MONDAY, MARCH 20, 2006 PARIS Intellectual poverty is the most striking quality of the Bush administration's new National Security Strategy statement, issued on Thursday. Its overall incoherence, its clichés and stereotyped phraseology give the impression that Stephen Hadley, the national security adviser, and his fellow authors assembled it from the boilerplate of bureaucratic discourse with contempt for the Congress to whom it is primarily addressed. It reveals the administration's foreign policy as a lumpy stew of discredited neoconservative ideas with some neo- Kissingerian geopolitics now mixed in. The statement's only visible purpose is to address a further threat to Iran, as its predecessor, in 2002, threatened Iraq. The only actual "strategy" that can be deduced from it is that the Bush administration wishes to rule the world. The document is nonsensical in content, insulting to other nations and unachievable in declared intention. If people read it to find a statement of American foreign policy's objective, they will learn that the United States has "the ultimate goal of ending tyranny in our world." Good luck. The document's foreign readers will have two reactions. The first will be that it can't be serious. The second will be that it has to be taken seriously since these people have spent three ruinous years in a futile effort to control Iraq; they must be assumed capable of doing the same thing again to Iran. An annual national security statement was demanded by Congress in 1986 legislation. The present document is the first since 2003, when an American policy of military pre-emption was proclaimed - subsequently implemented in Iraq. This document reiterates the pre-emption policy, warning that "we are in the early years of a long struggle" like the Cold War. One asks if its authors foresee a 50- year struggle against Iran? Or with Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in the Iraqi desert and Osama bin Laden in his cave in Waziristan? Or against febrile and fanaticized young Muslim men in European ghettos, already repudiated by the immigrant populations from which they come? Surely the great American nation will have better things to do during the next 50 years. While Stephen Hadley, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's former deputy, was preparing the strategy statement (or signing off on it), Rice was in Indonesia to "expand a strategic partnership" with Jakarta, a visit described by officials accompanying her as a signal of American "interest in building up [indonesia] as a major commercial and military power ... to help counter the growing influence of China." A few days earlier, Rice and President George W. Bush were in India on the same mission, making a "historic" gesture that conferred on India a nuclear partnership with America and authorized it to keep its nuclear weapons. This was also as meant to check China. Speaking to the International Institute for Strategic Studies just three years ago, Rice condemned "balance of power" politics as outmoded and dangerous. She said: "We tried this before; it led to the Great War." In a few weeks, President Hu Jintao of China will be at the White House for a long-delayed meeting. Possibly he in turn will be offered a strategic partnership, provided that Beijing obeys the new U.S. National Security Strategy, which tells China to "give up old ways of thinking and acting ... and [make] the right strategic choices for its people." Until China takes this advice, the strategy statement menacingly adds, the United States will "hedge against other possibilities." The president and the secretary of state have been trying to manipulate the Asian power balance against China. At home, Stephen Hadley and colleagues have told us that the effort in Iraq has been worth it because now "tyrants know that they pursue weapons of mass destruction at their own peril." (One has also learned that those who pursue nonexistent weapons of mass destruction also do so at their peril.) In addition, we are told that the United States today "may face no greater challenge from a single country than from Iran," and that it reserves the right to take "anticipatory action to defend ourselves, even if uncertainty remains as to the time and place of the enemy's attack." Whose attack? Iran's? Under what conceivable circumstances would Iran attack the United States, even if it possessed nuclear weapons? Finally there is North Korea, which the national strategy document seems to assume already has nuclear weapons. Pyongyang is simply enjoined to "afford freedom to its people," and the North Koreans are warned that the United States will protect itself "against adverse effects of their bad conduct." The Iranian government in Tehran will surely note that pre-emption is not mentioned in connection with North Korea. Source

What happens when a passage in the Quran is erroneous? What if it has passages which can be compared with another older sacred text? How do you clarify the mistake? Do you retreat to the doctrine of infallible revelation? (The Quran comes down from Allah, so that settles everything!) Or will you listen to reasonable evidence, using Ockham’s Razor to cut out needless and convoluted explanations? The Quran confuses an episode in King Saul’s life with one in Gideon’s life, who lived about three hundred before Saul. Normally, one should show generosity for an occasional mix-up in a strictly literary book or even a history book from the ancient world. But Islamic theology asserts that the Quran is no ordinary book. Revelation and inspiration of the Quran In Islamic theology, it is believed that the Quran existed in heaven, and the angel Gabriel came down and over time spoke it to Muhammad, and then it became a physical book. Sometimes a comparison is made between the Quran’s “inlibration†(from the root “libr†or “bookâ€) with Christ’s “incarnation†(from the root “carn†or “fleshâ€). That is, as the heavenly Son of God was “made flesh,†so the heavenly Quran was “made book.†However, this is an exceptionally high view of inspiration. The following passages illustrate the extremely high standard of Quranic inspiration. While Muhammad was living in Mecca before his Hijrah (Emigration) to Medina in 622, the Meccans disputed the divine origin of the Quran and wanted Muhammad to change it, but Allah tells Muhammad how to answer them in this verse: 10:15 When Our clear revelations are recited to them, those who do not expect to meet Us say, “Bring [us] a different Quran, or change it.†[Prophet], say, “It is not for me to change it of my own accord; I only follow what is revealed to me, for I fear the torment of an awesome Day, if I were to disobey my Lord.†[MAS Abdel Haleem, The Qur’an, Oxford UP, 2004. His insertions; this translation is used in the rest of the article, unless otherwise noted] The most important aspect of this verse is its revelation. The Prophet follows only what “is revealed†to him from Allah himself. These short verses in the Meccan suras also show the super-high standard of inspiration: 39:28 An Arabic Quran free from any distortion—so that people may be mindful. 55:1 It is the Lord of Mercy 2 who taught the Quran. 75:17 We shall make sure of its [the Quran’s] safe collection and recitation. 18 When We have recited it, repeat the recitation 19 and We shall make it clear. 26:192 Truly, this Quran has been sent down by the Lord of the worlds: 193 the Trustworthy Spirit [Gabriel] brought it down 194 to your heart [Prophet], so that you could bring warning 195 in a clear Arabic tongue. [First insertion is mine; the rest are Haleem’s] When Muhammad was feeling inspired, he sometimes heard a bell ringing, (see the hadith below this one) or he would sweat, or his face would change color. He seems to have fallen into some kind of trance at times. This doctrine of inspiration and these verses land polemicists in interpretive problems, because every word must be taken as it is written, when the passages are clear—not, for example, when a passage is an illustration. However, the following passages cited in this article are not merely illustrations, but are clear and straightforward. Will this doctrine of inspiration trump an ordinary explanation about confusion or an error? Gideon and Saul Most of Sura (Chapter) 2 is usually regarded as one of the first (if not the first) to be revealed after Muhammad’s Hijrah (Emigration) from Mecca to Medina in AD 622. Thriving tribes of Jews lived in the city. The long sura deals with several topics, but it has many passages about Jews and the Hebrew Bible (the Old Testament). At this early stage, Muhammad wanted the Jews to accept him, but they correctly rebuffed him because he was a gentile and because he was confused about their sacred text. Here is one piece of evidence of the confusion. In the context of Saul being chosen as king to lead ancient Israel into battle against their enemies the Amalekites and the Philistines, Talut (Saul) tests his soldiers with drinking at an unnamed river. The Quran in Sura 2:249 says: 2:249 When Talut [saul] set out with his forces, he said to them, “God will test you with a river. Anyone who drinks from it will not belong with me, but anyone who refrains from tasting it will belong with me; if he scoops up just one handful [he will be excused].†But they all drank [deep] from it, except a few . . . [first insertion is mine; the rest are Haleem’s]. The passage goes on to recount David’s victory over Goliath, and the Israelites over the Philistines. Besides the illogical and unwise announcement to the soldiers of a test before it is enacted, Allah’s inspiration seems to mislead the Prophet about the chronology and the characters. Anyone who is even vaguely familiar with the Bible knows that this Quranic episode conflates Saul with an event in Gideon’s life. The Bible in Judges 7:4-5 says: 7:4 The Lord said to Gideon, “There are still too many men [in the army]. Take them down to the water, and I will sift them for you there . . . 5 So Gideon took the men down to the water. There the Lord told him, “Separate those who lap the water with their tongues like a dog from those who kneel down to drink. Three hundred men lapped with their hands to their mouths. All the rest got down on their hands and knees. [New International Version; my insertion] Though some of the small details differ, the Quran and the Bible share remarkable similarities in at least five ways. First, the large context of a military campaign occurs in both. Second, both passages share the same drink test by water. The Bible says the spring of Haran was the place of testing, whereas the Quran says that the location was an unnamed river. But the element is the same—water. That is, it is not the case that the Bible says that drinking water is the test, whereas the Quran says that throwing a spear the farthest or ingesting food a certain way is the test. Third, the method of drinking is similar. In the Quran, even if the men take a scoopful of water, they will be excused from fighting. How much more will they be exempt if they drink deep? This parallels the Biblical text. Either the men lap the water up from their hand as they stand (= scooping in the Quran), or they kneel down and drink (= drinking deeply in the Quran). Fourth, the immediate purpose of the test is the same. Both are designed to separate or sift men from the army. Fifth, the overall purpose in the Biblical passage is to prevent Israel from boasting of his own strength (7:2). Instead, Israel should boast of God’s deliverance. The Quran says or implies the same in the rest of Sura 2:249. So how should we account for this error or confusion of Saul with Gideon? Two explanations Two options confront us. The first one holds onto revelations no matter what. Allah spoke, and that trumps everything. The second one says that Muhammad got things confused in an ordinary way that all humans do, or perhaps he deliberately reshaped the Bible for his own benefit, at least in part, or a mixture of both. Sayyid Abul A’La Maududi (d. 1979), a highly regarded conservative scholar, chooses the first option. He writes: As the same test was applied by Gideon before Saul, Palmer and Rodwell [two earlier scholars and translators] come to the strange conclusion that Gideon and Saul are here (v. 249) confused . . . This objection is absurd on its face. If two similar events had happened and only one of these is mentioned in the Bible, it does not prove that the other did not happen just because it was not mentioned in it. Moreover, it has never been claimed that the Bible contains the complete history of the Israelites with its full details. The very fact that the Talmud contains many incidents which are not mentioned in the Bible is a proof thereof. [The Meaning of the Qur’an, vol. 1, p. 181] It is difficult to know where to begin with this strange belief. Maududi’s assertion is the one that is “absurd on its face†(his words). He states that many events that happened in Biblical history are not recorded in the Bible. That’s fair enough. Neither the Bible nor Biblical history says one word about Saul’s drinking test. Then Maududi throws out hints about the Talmud as containing more about the Bible than the Bible does about itself. But he does not cite a reference. But even if he did, that would only mean that Muhammad’s source is non-Biblical and postdates the events by hundreds of years. So where do Maududi and his prophet get this information about Saul’s test? Ancient inscriptions? Canaanite records? The answer is obvious: Allah told Muhammad many centuries after the facts, and the Prophet transmits this message to us as revelation. For Muslims like Maududi, steeped in their religion, this answer is adequate,but for the rest of us, it is fanciful. Read Please.

Am I the only one who finds this statement ridicule? Horn my man, just becasue Danyer (Somali) differs in your thinking process, so he isn’t the same ppl as you? Perhaps you meant the same tribe/clan as you. Next you say “we don’t think the same†my dear brother if ppl thought the same way [waxarta ba warabaha cunu laheyd].. Ok ignore what I wrote above, Horn why go to this extent? In my view that was clearly uncalled for sxb. Posted By Horn: Danyeer, with all due respect, isku dad maanu nihin, isku fikridna maanu nihin, isku dhaqan iyo dadna maanu nihin and you have just confirmed it.

Soo qulqul Odey Abdulle.

^Spoken like a true Maharani. However, painful as it is I will try for you. Just for you.

My bad Jaylaani.., Bushkulaati you say...it's Cucumber(vegetable)

^^A mirror would help perhaps LooL finding one's self usually begins at home nooh. Ps: The deal between me and my management is that I can post on Sol (or as they call it Somali camel site) all day-long but I can not chat.

Me: so, you were unconscious, and they pulled you from the bucket. What happened then? Hanuman: Mr.danyer gave me a articial insemination-you know, mouth-to-mouth.

Hanuman, I'll bet you're a blondy.

^HE IS RIGHT... NOW PLEASE STOP YELLING.

I am some what mixed with Brazilin sheherazade is Indian Castro is Cuban (no brainer) Ahura is Syrian Ngonge is mixed with brazilin. A lot of Somali Arabs as well.

^I am 10% Brazilian, my Indian Maharani.

And this is 2006

POINT, No one like Asylum seekers in the world fine, but these countries still do it, for?? Just to entertain the Somali logics lets say “to convert Muslims into Christianityâ€. Now why can’t an Arab nation a Muslim nation for a fact consider to prevent such sir?

Jaylaani hold on to this Kit Kat for a well deserved break and retire. Actually consider this scenario before you retire sxb; you are on a Bushkuteedi to come to my house and I happen to see you take a nasty fall off your Bushkuttedi while I was standing outside my house. I contemplate of helping first then I say to my self “oh well, one less Negro in the world, I’ll do justice in the world if I let him dieâ€.

The Point, Oh in that case let us consider Canada (where you live The Point) do you unconditionally believe you would get everything you got as FOB (fresh of the boat) of Canada in Saudi Arabia? Or even remotely be considered as Muslim being? They would throw you’re a$s in jail faster then you can say the four letter word (help). As far as Australia and Italy are concerned after they have denied you the rights to their countries at first, they still valued you as human being and took you under their wings the second or the third time around. In Arabia countries that’s even impossible, you will get a life time denial into their countries. But hey, we still brothers and sister by religion; they don’t mean anything by it. Now can I please get a Ooouuc!

The Negro Muslims have the Christian countries and humanitarian organizations to protect them. Muslims Arabs have oil and cartoons to worry about.

RIYADH, 13 March 2006 — In the wake of recent attacks by the enemies of Islam, five leading Islamic organizations have organized an international conference in defense of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The conference will be in Manama, Bahrain, from March 22 to 23. The press briefing at which the announcement was made was attended by Soliman Hamad Al-Buthi, supervisor of the International Committee for the Support of the Final Prophet (ICFSP); Dr. Saleh Sulaiman Al-Wohaibi, secretary-general of the World Assembly of Muslim Youth (WAMY); Salman Al-Oudah who moderates Islam Today, an Islamic website; and Khaled Al-Ojaimi of WAMY. The conference, expected to draw more than 300 Islamic scholars from Muslim and non-Muslim countries, is being sponsored by ICFSP; Al-Asalah; a Manama-based nongovernmental organization (NGO); the Doha-based Union of Muslim Scholars; and Islam Today, an Internet portal dedicated to the cause of the faith. “The conference is being organized in response to the cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad. The conference’s aim is to form a unified front to coordinate our efforts and voice our aspirations jointly on issues pertaining to Islam,†Dr. Wohaibi said, adding that this will be a beginning for a unified Muslims’ voice where they will be told how to cooperate in times of such situations. Speaking about the boycott of Danish products, Dr. Al-Wohaibi said that this was a good lesson for those who belittle the Prophet Muhammad. The WAMY secretary-general rejected all forms of violent reactions against the enemies of Islam. He said: “We should be reasonable, peaceful and responsible in our approach against such moves.†The two-day meeting is expected to form a general body to implement the decisions and resolutions moved at the end of its sessions. It will be geared toward creating an understanding between the Muslims and non-Muslims, he said, hoping to create an effective dialogue between the two parties aimed at increasing understanding. Dr. Al-Wohaibi stressed that a mere apology from the Danish government for the cartoons of the Prophet would not satisfy the Muslim world. “The forthcoming conference will request an assurance from the European Union to improve the situations of Muslim minorities in Europe, Denmark in particular. And we want Europe to respect the rights of Muslims and understand the values of their faith.†Salman Al-Oudah said the forthcoming meet would form a unified body to voice Muslim concerns. He pointed out that civilized people have to respect each others’ cultural values and this meeting would help the Muslims to bridge the gap with the non-Muslim world. Ali Jomaa of the International Committee for the Support of the Final Prophet said that there are 200,000 Muslims out of the 5.5 Danish population who were concerned about the blasphemous cartoons first published in the Danish daily Jyllands-Posten. He said that his organization had met a federation of members from 27 Danish Muslim organizations and had advised them on peaceful protests that could be lodged against the newspaper. Read More

^^Not bad, Not bad at all UK.. Let me see you weigh on this now. A taxi driver was called to take a group of passengers to the train station. The station is normally an hour away, but with traffic being extra heavy, it took a full hour and a half. On the return trip the traffic was still as heavy and yet it took only 90 minutes. Why?
