well bro konwayn, i can not call him sheikh c/wahaab kaafir because i'm sure 100% he was better and closer to alaah. why do you have to ask intercede. it is understandable that saxaaba asked prophet to ask Alaah forgiveness for them cause he was alive, but he is dead know. about the mowliid, did the prophet celebrated his birthday, if he did then it is ok, but if he did not is not that gonna be bidca. what do you think about ibn tayyima? salaamaat

Me is diyaar...Jamaal..when u r diyaar...sotuurhee...me is desperately sugitaan when this is bilaawaniga! ------------------ Each one of us is a masterpiece in progress

Good Idea Jamaal-11 but what language would you like it written? Somali, then you will have very few people contributing, since we are talking about Somalis in Diaspora. Why play? Eventhought Sanka taabte is kidding, I like his suggestion the best, at least Novel can be written with in a couple of days. Now play takes time. I should know, I wrote a Somali one. It was kind of hard but atleast I am on the stage were I am polishing. I wish I was not such a perfectionist. I change everytime a little and now it looks very different then the one I started it with. I would like to come here once in a while and partake this play of yours. Good luck Text

My goodness Barwaaqo walaahey those were the two I like that best. Scary! how two completely different people will choose exactly the same thing, I mean of all those pictures. That is little bit wierd. Ismahan: Nice picture. I choose the boy with the SHimbare layaha! I did not get the first picture, what is it? is it a fish, or a open wound, it is a tree trunk? I have no idea. tell me please

Oh, you missed my tree, that is not cool! it is called Acacia tree. I don't see it there. Thanks a lot!

The prime responsibility of journalists--- is to provide to the public (Somalis) they serve a news service as accurate, full and prompt as human integrity and devotion can devise. To that end, they declare their acceptance of the standards of practice set for them and their solemn intent to honour them to the limits of their ability. Somehow that doesn’t even come near to what the BBC Somali service does. The primary purpose of broadcast journalists is to inform the listeners the majority of who are Somalis of events of importance and appropriate interest in a manner that is accurate and comprehensive. This often overrides all other purposes. Listening to the BBC one could sense that most of the journalists don’t take facts seriously and of course information that is broadcast is often not up to date and lacks clarification and is often not very accurate as they use journalist who aren’t qualified in the field and who tend to be biased in their reporting ( i.e. Clanism). Broadcast news presentations should be designed not only to offer timely and accurate information, but also to present it in the light of relevant circumstances that give it meaning and perspective. The responsibility of radio journalists is to gather and report information of importance and interest to the public (Somalis) accurately, honestly and impartially. Years ago the BBC Somali service had brilliant broadcasters who were impartial in their reporting but lately one would think the standard has immensely dropped. We as Somalis should have built on this to make the Somali service the envy of many other Nations who do the same by providing the necessary criticisms of the way the information is passed on and how fair it should be via commentaries and phone ins. It should have been a place where most Somalis have the opportunity to air out their successes as well their grievances to the world. I have been here in the UK for years but I have never seen a Somali journalist come out to interview Somalis and find out what was happening around most cities in the UK. Now where has the creativity gone? ------------------ ("`-''-/").___..--''"`-._ `6_ 6 ) `-. ( ).`-.__.`) (_Y_.)' ._ ) `._ `. ``-..-' _..`--'_..-_/ /--'_.' ,' (il),-`` (li),` ((!.-` S-h-a-q-ss-ii

I can't be friends with a guy who is thinking of my sister, you know. Le alone talking about her with him. Barwaaqo, boys dont gossip but they blubber when they try to gossip

Thought of the day: A slap from a learned scholar answers a young man....... There was a young man who went overseas to study for quite a long time. When he returned, he asked his parents to find a religious scholar who could answer 3 questions for him. Finally, his parents were able to find a Muslim scholar. Young man: Who r u? Can u answer my questions? Scholar: I am one of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala's slaves and Insha-Allah, I will be able to answer your questions. Young man: Are u sure? A lot of professors and experts were not able to answer my questions. Scholar: I will try my best, with the help of Allah, Subhana Wa Ta'ala. Young man: I hav 3 questions. 1. Does God exist? If so, show me His shape. 2. What is takdir (fate)? 3. If Shaydan (Devil) was created from fire, why at the end will he be thrown into hell, which is also created from fire? It certainly won't hurt him at all, since Shaydan and hell are both created from fire. Did Almighty Allah not think of it this far? Suddenly, the Scholar slapped the young man's face very hard. Young man(feeling pain): Why did u get angry at me? Scholar: I am not angry. The slap is my answer to ur three questions. Young man: I don't understand. Scholar: How do u feel after I slapped u? Young man: Of course, I felt the pain. Scholar: So do u believe that pain exists? Young man: Yes. Scholar: Show me the shape of the pain! Young man: I cannot. Scholar: That is my first answer. All of us feel Almighty Allah's existence without being able to see his shape. Scholar: Last night, did u dream that u will be slapped by me? Young man: No. Scholar: Did u ever think that u will get a slap from me, today? Young man: No. Scholar: That is Taqdir (fate). Scholar: My hand that I slapped u with, what is it created from? Young man: It is created from skin. Scholar: What about your face, what is it created from? Young man: Skin. Scholar: How did u feel after I slapped u? Young man: In pain. Scholar Even though Shaydan (Devil) and hell are created from fire, if Allah wants, Insha-Allah, hell will become a very painful place for Shaydan. Salaam

HORNBEAM TREE (Good Taste) of cool beauty, cares for its looks and condition, good taste, is not egoistic, makes life as comfortable as possible, leads a reasonable and disciplined life, looks for kindness and acknowledgment in an emotional partner, dreams of unusual lovers, is seldom happy with its feelings, mistrusts most people, is never sure of its decisions, very conscientious. OH!MY!GOD! That is so accurate its almost scary.....except 4 the last bit....I wouldn't say I am never sure of my decisions...most of the time I am. But still...Woooooow!

International Humor Cracking an international market is a goal of most growing corporations. It shouldn't be that hard, yet even the big multi-nationals run into trouble because of language and cultural differences. For example... Scandinavian vacuum manufacturer Electrolux used the following in an American ad campaign: "Nothing sucks like an Electrolux." The name Coca-Cola in China was first rendered as Ke-kou-ke-la. Unfortunately, the Coke company did not discover until after thousands of signs had been printed that the phrase means "bite the wax tadpole" or "female horse stuffed with wax" depending on the dialect. Coke then researched 40,000 Chinese characters and found a close phonetic equivalent, "ko-kou-ko-le," which can be loosely translated as "happiness in the mouth." In Taiwan, the translation of the Pepsi slogan "Come alive with the Pepsi Generation" came out as "Pepsi will bring your ancestors back from the dead." Also in Chinese, the Kentucky Fried Chicken slogan "finger-lickin' good" came out as "eat your fingers off." The American slogan for Salem cigarettes, "Salem - Feeling Free," got translated in the Japanese market into "When smoking Salem, you feel so refreshed that your mind seems to be free and empty." When General Motors introduced the Chevy Nova in South America, it was apparently unaware that "no va" means "it won't go." After the company figured out why it wasn't selling any cars, it renamed the car in its Spanish markets to the Caribe. Ford had a similar problem in Brazil when the Pinto flopped. The company found out that Pinto was Brazilian slang for "tiny male genitals". Ford pried all the nameplates off and substituted Corcel, which means horse. When Parker Pen marketed a ballpoint pen in Mexico, its ads were supposed to say "It won't leak in your pocket and embarrass you." However, the company mistakenly thought the spanish word "embarazar" meant embarrass. Instead the ads said that "It wont leak in your pocket and make you pregnant." An American t-shirt maker in Miami printed shirts for the spanish market which promoted the Pope's visit. Instead of the desired "I Saw the Pope" in Spanish, the shirts proclaimed "I Saw the Potato." Chicken-man Frank Perdue's slogan, "It takes a tough man to make a tender chicken," got terribly mangled in another Spanish translation. A photo of Perdue with one of his birds appeared on billboards all over Mexico with a caption that explained "It takes a hard man to make a chicken aroused." Hunt-Wesson introduced its Big John products in French Canada as Gros Jos before finding out that the phrase, in slang, means "big breasts." In this case, however, the name problem did not have a noticeable effect on sales. Colgate introduced a toothpaste in France called Cue, the name of a notorious porno mag. In Italy, a campaign for Schweppes Tonic Water translated the name into Schweppes Toilet Water. Japan's second-largest tourist agency was mystified when it entered English-speaking markets and began receiving requests for unusual sex tours. Upon finding out why, the owners of Kinki Nippon Tourist Company changed its name. In an effort to boost orange juice sales in predominantly continental breakfast eating England, a campaign was devised to extoll the drink's eye-opening, pick-me-up qualities. Hence the slogan, "Orange juice. It gets your pecker up." The PC co WANG had unveiled their new slogan a few years ago in Australia. The slogan was unveiled before the employees.... "WANG CARES". The aussies almost pissed themselves laughing because it sounded like "wankers". ------------------ ("`-''-/").___..--''"`-._ `6_ 6 ) `-.
