Taqwa, before I assume...brotha/sista You brought a good point. If the sister's intention is just to "date" in an unislamic way, then your earlier point is valid. But if the sister is interested in a serious relationship, what does it matter if either of them approach each other? I mean, it may or may not lead to marriage. Before you get married, doesn't Islam allow you an exploration period to get to know your future mate?? Given that you follow the guidelines that Islam has set for you? Holla back.

disclamair i didn't write the below article and i marely copied and pasted but the reason i did that is for us to debate whether we have those kind of guys in our society i meant are there somalian guys who can belong in one or more of these categories ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6 men who should be endangered species Sure, there are a lot of good men left out there, but let’s face it, ladies: There are quite a few we wish we’d never met! You know who you are, fellas, and your numbers are up as women name the top six men we’re ready to add to the endangered list. 1. Homo reptilicus This guy’s poison for first dates. He either disregards or is completely clueless about the rules for displaying affection in public, slithering in for unwelcome kisses and squeezing you close like a boa constrictor. Keep this one at arm’s length, girls; otherwise, he’ll expect you to slink back with him into whatever hole he crawled out of. 2. Homo restricticus Beware the boyfriends who won’t let you out of their sight — and for all the wrong reasons. If your Jack is way too jealous, be a judicious Jill and jilt that loser. 3. Homo immaturus Can’t this guy take you out without drinking himself into a stupor? And would it hurt him to make plans for something other than Monday night football or a night of pool with his pals? This immature dude can be smart, cute and sweet, but unless you're prepared to go on a date and change his diapers during the same evening, tell him to call you when he grows up. 4. Homo reflecticus Hello! Does this fella even know you’re there? He’s so into himself and talks so much that you can hardly fit a word in edgewise. He knows your first name but seems completely uninterested in learning more. Watch for highly reflective windows around this guy; he often becomes lost in his own gaze. 5. Homo intelligentus You were looking for Mr. Right but instead found Mr. Always Right! He knows everything about everything and never fails to one-up anything you’ve ever done. Bounce this brainiac and let him pat his own back with someone else. 6. Homo sporadicus This guy doesn’t even bother to schedule a date when he’s in the mood for love. Instead, you’ll likely hear from him at the midnight hour or later — usually after the clubs close. Unless you’re ready for an irregular Romeo, hang up the phone or slam the door ASAP.

Well said sawalle! bravo

Asalaamu Calaykum Wr Wb, Jazaakum Allahu khayran commonsense for your efforts, but unfortunately this hadith is daciif (unauthentic). However, this does not take anything away from the point of this thread, there are indeed grave punishments for those who leave the prayer, for the blessed prophet s.a.w did say something to the extent of the difference between belief (iman) and kufr is the salat. Muslimah, there (gaalo) suffering is coming in the hereafter. Would you rather suffer now or later when the punishment is the hell fire? A believer encounters trial after trial in this world and is rewarded greatly in the hereafter for his/her patience.So having said that have patience, Inshallah we (the muslims) will come out of this sad stage of our history. w/salaam wr wb [This message has been edited by Rahiima_as-Somaali (edited 04-09-2002).]

"Wonders and asks: How the **** did you do that? Word History: The obscenity **** is a very old word, first recorded in English in the 15th century. Age has not dimmed its shock value, even though it is seen in print much more often now than in the past. Its first known occurrence, in a poem entitled "Flen flyys" written sometime before 1500, is in code, illustrating the unacceptability of the word even then. The poem, composed in a mixture of Latin and English, satirizes the Carmelite friars of Cambridge, England, with the title taken from the first words of the poem, "Flen, flyys, and freris," that is, "fleas, flies, and friars." The line that contains **** reads "Non sunt in coeli, quia gxddbov xxkxzt pg ifmk." The Latin words "Non sunt in coeli, quia" mean "they [the friars] are not in heaven, since." The code "gxddbov xxkxzt pg ifmk" is easily broken by simply writing the preceding letter in the alphabet. As we decode, we must watch for differences in the alphabet and in spelling between then and now. For g write f; for x, v (used for u and v) etc.: fucant wivys of heli. ------------------ ("`-''-/").___..--''"`-._ `6_ 6 ) `-.

Mr.Jibril....wait a minute! Somalis whether back home or in Qurbaha, have always been eating together in the restraunts, why makea fuss out of it now?...My change in culture, yes I have changed n have adopted the norms of this society that I live in. Yet this does not mean I have abandoned my believes altogether. Somalis have always been known for exeggaration n u r doing nothing else but that when u argue. Did u take a minute outof ur little time, to comprehend right what I have written down...or r u just picking on the first two sentences?? Learn the difference between religion n culture. when we look at our culture, there is nothing in there that is ISlamic as far as I am concerned...we all claim we muslims,yet only a small percentage practice the religion right...so don't come here n lecture about religion n culture, when u can't differentiate between the two.... Omar: thnx bro...tell them like it is!! ------------------ Each one of us is a masterpiece in progress

Looks like one of our problems, as Somalis is miscommunication. We don’t always; try to think before we say anything! Sometimes mistaken statements can be harmless and even funny, other times they can cause a lot of damage and heartache. The intention of the thread was basically to talk about what annoys any of us about Somalis but somehow this was hijacked by other ideas. Instead of just saying what makes you feel like puking about certain people it ended up becoming a battleground of the sexes. The ladies here had got the chance to get even with some of the men they hated and ofcouse the guys too got their own back. Now that should have been named the battle of the Sexes. I think it should've been more appropriate if it was named the battle of the sexes. That way one could say anything about women that they hated and the same would have applied to the ladies too. No holds barred as they say. ------------------ ("`-''-/").___..--''"`-._ `6_ 6 ) `-. ( ).`-.__.`) (_Y_.)' ._ ) `._ `. ``-..-' _..`--'_..-_/ /--'_.' ,' (il),-`` (li),` ((!.-` S-h-a-q-ss-ii

I never understood this "af-jinni" but I believe all you have 2 do is put an unnecessary alphabet in awkward places... Like the above poster wrote... "ajadajigaja xajageje jojogtaja.......wajaryajaa....inijtajaaz ajayan kujuhajadliji kajaraja......" If I eliminate all the "J's" ====>>>aadaigaa xaagee oogtaa.......waaryaaa....initaaaz aayan kuuhaadlii kaaraa..... gosh! it still doesnt make sense!

ajadajigaja xajageje jojogtaja.......wajaryajaa....inijtajaaz ajayan kujuhajadliji kajaraja...... peace out..

Football is my interest and would like to share this piece of Nomad with anyone who has that interest in football.

Hey folks.I have verytall,slender,and iam totally flat chest.I like everything about myself except my flat chest.it bothers me too much.it makes me all shy and embarassed of myself.i might as will be model.anyway i need some serious help!iam obessing over it all the time.

To whom it may concern... To the las poster, Man! you are not getting my point at all.

IDIL Thank you, sister I loved your poetry, your are talented and thats why you understand more than many so-called wannabe Independent. Mac salaama

Nice-Guy Nice topic! It's funny you mentioned "somali men complain about the wife just lying there" because I've come to notice that this statement is actually very commen. But I don't think that the women actually just lies there I think that they probably just dont' moan, shout, scream the mans' name etc like on T.V/Movies there for it's makes the man wonder if his wife is enjoy it at all. This complaint is sort of caused by the fact that this society as painted a picture about how "SEX" is to be and when in reality the sex doesn't meet up to those expectations confussion and doubt arise. On the other hand I have heard of a somali man complain about his wife being a nympo reasoning being she does the whole nine yards (moan, screa etc) plus she asks for more. This has caused him to doubt her chastity and he has lost respect for her. Reason being in our culture the average somali women is naturally shy about these matter even after she gets married I mean after all it's all sort of new. And after the pain and just gettting use to the idea of being pretty much naked and just the SEX it self the question of did you enjoy it or not is not the first thing on your mind. Personally I think it's different from person to person so each couple should worry about their indivually situation. Maybe your wife moans or maybe she just bites her lip both ways dont stress. Beace P.S if you want to know if your doing aight just ask if she blushes then yes you are.

So true, we humans tend to neglect reality. Great topic. Terrorist? Whats up with the name mate? Am sure u don't want an FBI knocking at your door. As you know Every1 is pretty much 2 sensitive about the name, better change it before its too late. Just a suggestion. God Bless. ------------------ Live today to the fullest because tomorrow is not promised".

Hibo, You are asking us to accept your culture change, you shameless existance and constant embarassment to us? no place in Islamic History or Somali History have we heard of women mingling with men in eating places. You are in a stray, you are not cool or hip or even independent from Somalis so revise your acts before it is too late sister.

Poster This is what you typed ----> here is some of it. this is afjinni: sajaaxijiibajayajaal ijiskaja wajarajamaja. ifii sofoo shafeeg haradaraad taraqaraanaro arafkaran jirinirigara.
