I find very few things funnier than a bride in a white dress and hijab. You either stick to the Islamic wedding (nikah in mosque, segregated parties, go home and get it on...after praying two rakat's of course) or just do the Somali thing..let all and sundry in to dance, bicker and eat everytihng in sight.. Since you're already going, you should go in an abaya, you'll stick out. Anything colourful will mean you'll look like every other Xalimo. How 'hot' is tomorrow going to be?

Paragon you promised a private conference, you must deliver. I'm so bored I've taken it upon myself to find out who wrote this piece of interesting work and who Isseh and Mr Gamal are and what they've got to do with anything.

Aloha! I can't really say how I came across this website, or why I joined. I don't quite know myself. I'm Iris, I love the song Iris and I've just had a cigarette after six years of not touching a single one.

Sure. Although I may not be able to keep his name a secret. The poet's got talent and experience, many would like to have a word with him and I can't be selfish..

I like :-D Can you give us the name of the poet?

Originally posted by Paragon: Pick up a gun in Burco against who exactly? Picking up a gun isn't what is criticised here, its against WHO the gun is picked that is a matter of contention. I thought the issue at hand was the act of picking up arms. You can't criticise him for joining an army (a peaceful one at that) when you find nothing wrong with the notion itself.

My first ever encounter with a pornish poem. Cool

I slept till 11 Joined Somaliaonline, Realized I'm truly brain dead because I've been sitting for hours and I've yet to read something beneficial or interesting..

LOL @ Rick Astley. You've gone and put the song in my head, nooo Mahr is a big deal for Somali's, someone I know had a relative getting married recently. The whole family chimed in, it seemed to be the event of the year..demanding this and that, they mentioned dahab, all expenses paid trip to Dubai to buy said dahab, ten thousand pounds and belayo kale. I think the man is a university student, no idea how that turned out. I'm going to ask for a private Coldplay concert held in my honour. I need to forget Rick Astley's song

Originally posted by Rahima: The brother needs to be given a handbook on al-walaa' wal-baraa'. Might learn a few things! Many who know the meaning of the words do much worse than most. Our way of thinking amuses me to no end, had he picked up a gun in Burco or whereever, no one would've criticised him. Why must every action taken by a Somali in the Western world be deemed unacceptable after what seems like endless (and brainless) scrutiny?
