If the quastion here is ''are we black'' then the answer without doubt is yesss coz our colour is black.But if the answer is are we 'BANTUS'then the answer is NO. if the quastion is ''are we africans then the answer is yess'' coz we are in the African continent. but if the quastion is are we arabs the answer is definitely ''NO'' we dont look like arabs and we are not in the arab gulf. if the question is are we muslims then the answer is 'BIG YES'. here in the UK whenever i face filling forms i tick ''Black Africans''but i know that does not describe us and the best desciption i think is ''Somalians'' overall we existed as far as the old ancient go if you read the history. So wake guys and call yourselves somalians and do not accept ppl to call more than that or less u are somali and is it. U will receive recognition from other ppl if you recognize yourselves. for example part of london where there are large somali community the forms have the description ''Somalians'' and you can do that anywhere in the world if you recognize yourselves. By the way i like the way jamaal-11 derived the history and that is the nearest we can go. goodluck bye

Nabiha, thank you sister and welcome to the forums, I was wodering why you haven't started using the forum already? Kidding, take care

She is just Ignorant B@#%@.......Go head ppl report this it will only take few seconds...

************Changed my mind*************

Well, I have a theory to prove that we have nada-in-common with Black people of "Negriod feature". The land of PUNT or the people of the punt where when the Egyptian Queen visited was said to have no translater with her, shows that we have something in common with the Egyptians and Nubains. That is one of the many proofs I can recite Studying the skeletons of the Ancient Egyptians have shown the similarities between them and the PUNTS now known as Somalis. On the other hand if you've studied or read something about the "Persepolis" or the "parsian city" around the current land called Iran, then you will find the 23 delegation from all nations including Somalis placed/carved onto the South Panel of the apadana palace in the same place as Sagartians,Parthians, Egyptians, Aryans, Babylonians, Indians, Slogdians and others. So, this is a clear sign of where our origin lean, and on the other side the chinese history books have noted "PUNTland"(Somalia) as a trade zone which traded with ancient Greeks and Chinese. It means that the Punt had existed and was trading with others from across the globe over many centuries. These theories might not show us what we are looking for interms of true IDENTITY, but certainly I dont believe we have anything in common with either ARABS or AFRICANS. So i suggest it is time find out where we belong instead being in a state of confusion. We are mono-typic just as the early Egyptians and we are related to Nubians, Beja, Hamer and others, we are unique and we are Somalis

I must agree with brother MMA, I have to thank the Admins of Somalia Online. They have maintained a reasonable balance between all forumers. I truly think that if we are to have a meaningful a discussion/debate then we must allow everyone to freely express his or her idea. What is the main aim of debates/discussions if we don’t take aboard each and every one of us? Many ugly things are usually said in debates but so far we are doing good compared to many forum boards operated by Somalis. Truly some forum boards look more like a rhyme battle zone than a place where ideas and opinions are exchanged. I guess with this site in the horizon there is a fat chance that sooner many of us whose remarks tend to appear more abusive than an express will learn how to present their comments. Insha-allaah we will see well thought of posts from those specific forumers. Mac sallaam

well i think sex is a two way street both partners have to participate, enjot it and show each other how they like it....i hear alot of brothers complaining how somalian ladies just lay there or whatever and blaming on fmg but i think if they used that same energy that they are complaining with to improve their sex life they wouldn't need to complain cuz if you don't like how your partner is performing how about SPEAKING UP and i don't mean nagging or critizing the person but if you approach it in a loving manner i think you can make your partner do whatever you like Later Nomads ------------------ Never take life too seriously, no one is ever made it out alive

hi all, you know what i do not like about somali people when they criticize themselves and use the phrases ''somalians are like this and that'' when themselves are part of the community. i know we have some strange attitudes but i hate generalizing. u would rather be personalizingan d telling ppl what u think is good and why istead of somalians are that and this. yesterday i was in a field playing football with some somalian guys and and some asians. the somalians otherside were losing to my team when they were the better team .. why.. they were shouting each other and blaming each other...i went to them and told trhem not to blame... it is just a game of football we are not fighting# so that the way we are and we have to accept it...other things i dont like somali girls is that when you first met thjem they tell all somali guys are farhs and that shit which annoys me but i dont show it...

well, it is really sad, and i feel angry frustrated and helpless, so i decided not to watch news, or read newspaper. i do not think palestine will be liberated anytime soon, cause allah will help those who help his cause. shame on arab leaders, each one of them cares his chair more than his brothers.or shame on all muslim leaders, they care about their chair, and power more than al aqsa. all i can do personally is make dua during my prayers. and each muslim should make du'a too.

It is all about being somali. well said MMA. peace.

mansha'Allah u guys, keep it up. allah grant u jannah 4 everything. peace.

Hey let's not put the blame on admins, I think they doing good job for giving everyones a fair chance to talk about their mind! the users should behave theirselfs, because I believe this is a real time website and it is hard to catch on everything rightaway.... we all need to get our points acrossed without using a fault language, believe me it will not make you bigger person, infact it is the oppossite... I am surprised why some ppl will say they did not expect somali ppl to be this civilized! why have a low expectations....Sky is the limit for us yaw......
