Well said ineed. But what do you have against Somalis that come To Somali Malls? As you know , Somalis like to socialize, hence why they are at Malls as i have said to me it shows that brotha's have no occupation or desires for striving to be somewhere if their there 24/7- simple ! The point I am making is other nations appreciate Somali men more than our own Sisters wonder why? Why..out of the blues it could be that you fella's lack in showing and expressing yourself to your sistah's- It could be that your sisters feel that you're pushing them to do something they choose not to do and hence why you jump to another enthncity cuz they've acclaimed the western culture which in extreme cases many MUSLIM SISTAH'S DONT FOLLOW. So you guys will be guys and cats will be cats and as long as that word starting with 'p' and ending in 'y' is availble free of charge why work hard in expressing yourself emotionally to a somali sistah... so in conclusion- i believe that this country has dysfunctized many of the somali brotha's here to a point where they long forgotten their culture and relgion and try and adopt to this uncultivated world to sistah's and when its repudiated a soaring label takes position and comments such as 'why somali sistah's not apprecaiting' roar the streets. Those who approach with respect get one in return and vise versa. Am not bashing somali brotha's- just merely expressing my views and in such you shouldnt disrespect sistah's. So before you start and question WHY aren't our somali sistah NOT apprecaiting - START by realizing why arent we appreciating. Because it takes one to initiate and since the odds are rare a sistah approaching a guy for a number..its time to plegde to your sistah's. We're not here to hate nor to discourge but if we see few bad seeds- we make assumptions so best way to get rid of assumption is to show reflection of yourself- show that yuo're not like the other...then one can have hope but by standing on the side and preaching about the wrongs in somali sistah's start by realizing the wrongs which you'll do on daily bases. 1

FIRST THINGS FIRST- lay low on Ameenah acuudiyoow. JOKE PEOPLE JOKE- bisinka! OneManGANG- to simplify your answer- no i dont think somali men are the scum of the earth not to sound redundent but my previous sisters are on point- they are those who we cherish and those who not to speak of. Personally, i have a beef of somali brothers standing in front of malls day by day changing outfits to match with the different day and not to add their helpless fate or fantasy shall we say...that hopefully one day a fine somali sistah will walk through those door and say iska waran walal. That to me shows the brotha has no occupation or desires for striving to be somewhere- and those who disagree please tell me otherwise for his lack of stragdey cuz oddly enough to be a doctor you must be admitted to med school and to be a attorny you must enter law school..so out of curosity what do they enter "somali-mall-observiogy"? Come on now.... no to sound like am dawgin you fella's but .. On the other hand, those women who say somali men suck- then they are fools and those who say their's nothing above em their fools. Every culture has their lil gliches- no human being is perfect and with respect to that' - it all comes down to picking and choosing someone of your caliber. So if that somali brotha standing front of suuq caramel is for you then let it be. Or if that brotha at the corporate office is your choice then let it be...whateveh it may be- its matter of choice and opinions. So somali brotha's...you know who you are therefore dont be discouraged if a somali sistah says 'skinny mali's arent for me' be confident of who are and dont disrespect the sistah...cuz by you arguing and talkin smack will give her the oppouinity to stike back and same as for the sistah. And besides their plenty of fish in the sea...so why get caught up on just one- which you already know you despise...? Make sense? By the way- somali brotha tend to be on the slimmer side of the scale-(lets keep it real) so dont get offend if you're called skinny..(you are who you are) f'em. As far for myself- am happy with my choice of somali brotha's- yes some have been total mistake in the past but as far as now am more happier then i have ever been...mashallah cant complain much in that field. Once again GANG- deeh respect the sistah's even if they dont deserve it cuz you're just lowering yourself by getting caught lip fighting with em- and quiet honestly i've heared and seen somali fella's in those situations where they talk trash about a sistah-...i know you're ego's are at the line and them choosing someone of another enthicity drills the living out of you- but rememmeber thats THEM AND YOU ARE YOU. All you can hope for is that who ever they pick; their muslims and wish em luck simple.- no need to play hate!. Life is a journey- you see some- you love some- you miss some- you lose some. With that said... salamu calykum.

INshallah, even though destinations are sure to change, all am sure of is that i'll be enjoying every single minute. As of so far, am sure of going up north T.dot(a true candaian in me never dies)T.dot represent, NY, Boston and inshallah somewhere down the westcoast with my gurl. Of course i dont plan on taking it all at once, but inshallah when summer comes to a close- i'll be smiling from one ear to the other inshallah. P.S where my caribana' peeps at- where you at? Holla

Eh looks are the fundamentals that attract two different species therefore its an main cruisine and of course you need side dish like the personality and honesty, compassionate that intermingles it into one. But all in all people that say looks arent everything true but admit it, it's what keeps you going to see the individual. I can only give in my inputs and personality...looks are obviously given, personality, friendliness, ambious, etc etc. and for those individuals that say looks dont matter...'ya'll know its a LIE...a bloody lie as my uk peeps say it. 1

DiAmOnD_EyEz Sweetiez, welcome to our infamous site here on somalia online; am sure my fellow nomads will surely greet you as i have. Make the best of it. Ta ta... AkA Brown_Sugah

Eh let it be Niger or Sior Lione or Habashii. It doesnt matter- as long as the denominator in the equation is RELGION all will strive. As long as the person is MUSLIM. I wish you or any of you- caano iyo bariis lol..bash bash iyo barwaqo. Although, African i take this NOT being serious from you end..just that i add my take on it..regardless its for real or not. There is differnce between acknowldging whether its a 'preference' or a 'discrouage from people of your nationality'. So with that AFRICAN...by you saying 'am tired of these jaad eating etc etc somali man'- dont be suprised if sisters come down your throat. Because Personaly, i plan on sticking by my somali mens(preference) but if its not meant to, i have no heistation in moving up the race tree as long as he's muslim. As someone said earlier, lets not return to that land of 'backward'. If we all follow the guidelines that our beloved creator has brought down, no reason to DISCRIMINATE. MUSLIM IS MUSLIM- whether you're black skin , or white skin. Let the people have their choice. An Advice to the individuals who ran from their nationality in search of a mate, remmeber it aint all dandy- they too have their issues. Lets not ignore that aspect, not to go in deep about complex of difference of cultural and tradition. Not to discourage anyone but just as their remains postiveness in the world, also lays negativity. Salamu Calikyum.

close this thread please!

Xafsa...congrats gurl. I believe the previous have said all that i wanted to...so may allah make the best of the best.

Orginally posted by: ATHENA "If some of you have other reasons why you want to be hostile towards Opinionated, say so..just dont be holding that "Islamic" Banner. Athena, it need to be said...thank you. Walaahi, this is beyond redicious. I held back the past couple of days in spite of not letting this go on for days but as my sistah "ATHENA" stated, i couldnt agree more and that THIS NEEDS TO STOP AT ONCE. Perhaps all this hostille is flaming from previous post in which Opinionated 'DISAGREED' WITH YOU..who knows. For whatever reason, its given that for the selected views whom have contributed (in degrading her as muslim) in this thread more then 2x are in bad terms with Opin..okaay we got the concept. MOVE ON... Whatever the sister believes in thats HER CHOICE again HER CHOICE. Stating whether she's misguided, non-muslim etc wont do justice nor civility here on SOL. No one IS incapable of stating what punishment or extrememes one will go through in Islam. Because no one on earth is superior in allah's eyes (apart from prophets,scholars etc) we are all HIS creation , all HIS followers and most of all HIS children. Quite honestly, i dont think someone's deen or intellectuality should be brought down because of a disagreement one fills doesnt apply. She has basically stated how she disagrees (okay i can go on n on in opposite to her disagreement) and disrespect her as whole being but what will that get? I personally believe everyone has his/her shares of view of the world...whether its wrong/right no one deserves a cruel and dehumanizing attitudes. This is after all a islam discussion form, hence why am not suprised seeing people contributing and asking question of islam because they are afriad they maybe labeled as 'non-muslim'. EACH ONE - TEACH ONE. thats how this world survived through out histroy. So all in all, positive feedbacks are greatly are far beyond better then negative remarks. I WONT BE SUPRISED if SOME IGRNOANT PERSON POSTs AFTER ME STATING 'ATHENA AND CAPTIVA HAVE BECOME OPINIONATED DEVIL ADVOCATES'. I MUST SAY, S.O.L - WE ARE CAPABLE OF MUCH MORE FEEDBACKS THEN THIS...SERIOUSLY. I DONT KNOW ABOUT THE REST OF YOU BUT AM TIRED OF THIS THREAD GOING BACK AND FORTH- ITS LIKE NEVER ENDING PREVIOUS ARGUMENTS. I FOR ONE DONT WANNA BE RUNNING INTO THIS THREAD SO IF 'YOU' HAVE A DISAGREEMENT WITH OPINIONATED...PLEASE DIFFER THAT TO HER MAILBOX CUZ I LIKE TO SEE NEW THREADS. Am deeply worried for the future of the ISLAM SECTION. Originally posted by Athena: Kheyr :rolleyes: , If you refer to an Islamic ruling as a buncha crock or say it no longer applies = same thing. How she chooses her words is her prerogative..wouldn't it be sad if we all chose the same words? ----- well said

(EVEYRONE) Personally, if i may intrude in...this whole thread is getting out of hand. Obviously, if things cant be settled with rationality and sincere forhead in helping each other...it sure isnt going to be solved over disrespecting each others and having a hatred opinions of one another. So brother's and sisters,....lets keep this in the ground and step over it...noo need for this non-sense. People have views whether you disagree with em or you agree with em. Its between 'em' and the creator.. Cuz am tired of coming in here, seeing my beloved brothers and sistah at each other's throat..it aint right...we're muslims and islam is perfect, allah is our creator, the quran is our guide. So lets union under that. Life will surely go on.. Salam

Raxmah, never knew you were from the great lakes,?....Guess everyday you find out something new, but yeah am sure you'll find some one, if not dont worry, you the sisters at these conventions are by far superb, cool, claim and collected...right tamina? Tamina, you know my situation gurl, no need to display..lol Take care

I'm sadden by the fact, you guys have that menatlity formed. I agree, it does get overwhelming and at times you have no other obligation but to say 'screw with somalia and its qabilist backword ways'. I strongly feel some of your views but i personally think, it wont get better until we as people get better. There is so much focus on having 'convension with diff. warlord' then emphasising on the people, the elderly people whom have gotten skinner then a tooth pink or lil kids whose eyes and stomach seem as though, its leaving their bodies. I believe we should put more on trying to make the living environment better then get to the political aspect of somali. I mean its a try, we already experienced one side, why not turn the table and see it from another angle? I mean, i speak of one person's opinions, it may or may not be different then yours.But eh i let it be known. Am for the greater power of SOMALI IN WHOLE. Not sub-tribes n all this ridicious views. One.

I WISH I COULD GO, BUT DO TELL ME ALL ABOUT IT. I REGRET NOT GOING TO THE LAST ONE YOU WENT TO WALAAHI, ALL THOSE WONDERFUL STORIES AND MOTIVATIONS YOU SPOKE OF MOTIVATES ME TO GET MORE OF THEIR TAPES WALAAHI...I'LL FEDEX YOU THE DOUGH, MAKE SURE YOU BUY ME SOME VIDEOS, NOT CASSETTES LOL. SALAMZ
