Many were the Ways of Life that have passed away before you: travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those who rejected Truth. 138. Here is a plain statement to men, a guidance and instruction to those who fear Allah. 139. So lose not heart, nor fall into despair: For ye must gain mastery if ye are true in Faith. (Hussary)

Originally posted by Castro: Somalis, I believe, are individually intelligent. I'm not sure what the reasons are. It could be a product of a nomadic lifestyle that requires constant problem solving. It could also be due to diet (canjeero and caano geel). Who knows. What is clear, however, is the IQ of Somalis is negatively correlated with their numbers. In other words, 10 Somalis in a room collectively have 1/10th the intelligence of any one of them. I've no research to back this up but mostly anecdotal evidence. Alla yaa ii Qosla LOL I think thats a direct attack on this thread and SOL in general!

Thanks for the inspiration Sophist. congrats to Shuriye! “As members of the CSU, they are entitled to see our books for themselves, and they’re more than welcome to do so.†which Somali 'politician' can say that?

Xiin, did you saw what happaned to the 'strongman' Allawi? AN angry crowd confronted Iraq's former prime minister, Iyad Allawi, at a Shia shrine in Najaf, south of the capital, forcing him to flee in a hail of stones and shoes. Thanks Castro. How many number threes is that now? In May, US authorities announced they had captured "al Qaida number three" Abu Faraj al Libbi, while, three years ago, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed was nabbed whilst apparently toiling in this same rank. Now it seems the similarly important Abu Hamza Rabia has been killed in Pakistan. Classic! ------- Al-Arian Not Guilty

shimbir malab? I recall one bird that the nomads believed, if you see it, there is honey near. perhaps it also ate honey. I once saw it myself, we saw the bird, making a intersting sound and flying back and forth in an area, and when we searched the area, we found a hive near by. I'm not sure if it is the same bird.

Congrats to the Teacher.

great name, AWEsome designs. Thanks Red sea. I think I'm in love.

Salaams Originally posted by Khayr: Considering the man lived in the jungle, am suprised that he never saw a Buffalo It was not because he hasn't seen buffaloes before, it was due to his perception of Distance. So you are in support of Change, if say it can show that the 'Change' will produce 'EFFICIENCY'. Correct me if I am wrong. I'm in support of truth. a new change is a response of the indivitual or society in light of a new found truth or fact. that change can be for good or for worst, that is where choice comes in. hence Responce-Ability. Wisdom is the lost property of a believer, it is his, wherever he may find it" Muhammad But let me pose this question to you as a muslim, say for example the Myth of the 'Great Flood' and 'Noah's Arc' was proven to be False and could be proven to be otherwise, what would you of that because it would go against what scriptures have said and would ease people from 'scriptural teachings'. What if a grave was found in say Quba, outside of Medina and the body of the Prophet (salallahu caliyhe wasilm) was proven to be found and all the muslims shifted their attention from Medina to Quba etc. Wouldn't that have a drastic impact on Muslim History and the Sanctity of Medina. Surely, Medina would become 'Just another City' and all that 'Muslim History' would be questioned, if not ignored. Are you catching my drift here because this is really not about believing that the Earth is Flat....its more then that... Fi Amanillah I never liked taking the 'what if' train, I always end up at the wrong station and almost never reach my destination, but I got your drift. but here is the equation of the Mu'min, please correct me if I error; Islam = truth truth = Islam Islam = fact fact = Islam so to the believer, Islam is both 'truth' and a 'fact', or you can say 'a self evident truth that can be proven through science and mathematics". I'm going to present few questions for you to ponder over, is our perception, what we see, hear, feel, taste, smell at any given moment, fact or truth? do you know for a fact that you are reading this or is it just a dream? and what is the Truth about scientific Facts anyway? are you getting my drift, o faithful one? please forgive me if I ended up at the wrong station. Allahu'Alam

any change that comes due to a new paradigm shift in a community, if it is based on fact, is a new response-ability. once that shift occurs, you better buckle up. this reminds me of an anthropologist who went into a jungle and found people who never left the jungle. when he was leaving, one man went with him, and when they left the jungle the man saw buffaloes grazing on the far distance. he turned to the anthropologist and asked; "are those things flies?"

couple of weeks ago, in a halaal store few blocks from me, there were seven faarahs as usual chanting weeye while sipping tea, then three men entered with a gun and collected all their wallets. you should have seen how they explained the events. "war nimanka waynu dili karneey" "bal adaa u dhowaa ee maad gacanta ka dharbaaxtid?" "anigu shaah baan haysteey, adigaaba counter-ka ku jireey ee usha hoos taal maad lasoo baxdid?" lol

Critics have been hailing "Syriana," George Clooney's latest film to take on the policies of the Bush administration, as a cinematic tour de force that has "compelling real-world relevance" and is "unsettlingly close to the truth." But what is the truth "Syriana" supposedly approaches? Put briefly, the plot traces the ramifications of a bungled assassination, authorized by the CIA, of a Middle Eastern leader who decided to sign a major oil deal with China instead of an American oil company with close ties to the US Government. read more _______________________

here is an informative piece FAQ: Tunisia summit and Internet governance By Declan McCullagh Staff Writer, CNET News.com Published: November 16, 2005, 2:48 PM PST TUNIS, Tunisia--Thousands of representatives of national governments, corporations and nonprofit organizations began meeting here Wednesday for a summit that was expected to decide the future of Internet management. But a last-minute deal at the World Summit on the Information Society effectively shifted the debate to a new United Nations "Internet Governance Forum" that's scheduled to meet for the first time next year. CNET News.com has covered earlier stages in this process, including a meeting last year in New York, and has prepared the following list of Frequently Asked Questions to summarize what's going on. What's the purpose of this summit, anyway? The original purpose was so broad as to be practically non-controversial: bridging the so-called digital divide, sharing technology, less-developed nations asking for cash from wealthier ones, and so on. But over the last 18 months, the focus shifted from generalized griping about the alleged inequities of the technological age to more specific complaints. Briefly put, nations like China, Cuba, Mozambique and Zimbabwe charge that the U.S. government enjoys too much influence over the way the Internet is managed. What are they saying? It depends on who you talk to, and it's not always easy to filter out the political posturing and anti-American sentiments. Cuba's delegate, for instance, told summit attendees on Wednesday that Fidel Castro wanted to end "media manipulation by rich countries." "It is necessary to create an multinational democratic institutionality which administers this network of networks," the Cuba delegate said. Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe wanted his country to participate in thwarting "computer hacking, electronic fraud, and cyberterrorism," but not without "challenging the bully-boy mentality that has driven the unipolar world." Okay, but what do they actually want? Ideally, many of the delegates would like a United Nations bureaucracy to supplant--perhaps even replace--the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). ICANN approves new top-level domain names (think .biz and .xxx), sets minimum prices for domain names, and oversees a dispute-resolution process for domain names. But substantial changes aren't going to happen, at least not anytime soon. The U.S. and its critics effectively cut a deal this week that shifts the debate to the IGF. Why did this deal happen? It's not entirely clear, and the language adopted in some of the statements (PDF) is vague enough that all sides can claim some sort of victory. One observer, University of Ottawa law professor Michael Geist, said the "U.S. simply had a very strong hand and played it well." But the European Union may not have been as committed to radical change as press reports indicated over the last few months, Geist said, and in the end it decided to back down from a public fight. So this is just going to happen all over again in a few months? Sort of. The deal creates a U.N. body--the IGF--that's devoted to just discussions and has no power to regulate. So because all delegates can do is talk, expect plenty of it. What's most likely to happen is that the IGF will schedule a series of smaller meetings, with the first one in Greece in 2006. Then, in 2010, the U.N. will reconvene another major summit to decide what to do next. Secretary-General Kofi Annan hinted at this on Wednesday, saying the United Nations works on five-year plans. What would have happened if there was no deal, anyway? The worst-case scenario is kind of a nuclear option for the Internet. It would be a Balkanized Internet in which the U.S. attempts to retain control of its root servers and a large portion of the world veers in an incompatible direction. A new top-level domain would not be visible in the U.S. and its client states--but would be used in many other nations. The downside, of course, comes when two computers find different Web sites at the same address. It would be as bizarre as calling the same telephone number from two phones--and reaching two different people. Does the U.S. really have that much power? Actually, probably not. What's crucial here is the operation of the Internet's 13 root servers, which guide traffic to the massive databases that contain addresses for all the individual top-level domains, such as .com, .net, .edu, and the country code domains like .uk and .jp. The U.S. government--through ICANN--controls the master database currently used by every root server. Not all the root servers, named A through M, are in the United States. The M server is operated by the WIDE Project in Tokyo, and the K server is managed by Amsterdam-based RIPE. The F, I and J servers point to many addresses around the world through the anycast protocol, yielding a total of 80 locations in 34 countries. The U.S. government could order the root servers to add or delete a top-level domain, right? Yep, though in practice the feds have never abused their power. The reality is whoever controls the root servers has the final authority about what new top-level domains are added or deleted. If the root server operators receive a set of top-level domains they find irrational, only the U.S-based ones can be forced by U.S. law to use it.
