I had a lovely day, A'H. Woke up at noon to blazing sunshine and the aroma of iskudhexkaris cooking (bless mumsy). After stuffing myself, I threw on my shades and took a stroll to the town centre for some Mother's Day shopping (and a little something for myself). Tell you what, there's nothing sweeter than being at home on a work day. Heavenly. :cool:

Lo0oL....Hilarious! Ignorance is colour-blind.

^ LoL. You just had to interrupt the little Boy's Club that was forming, didn't you? Leave them be and let them figure out on their own why these xaliimos may actually be doing the right thing by running away. *Smirks*

Where you choose to live matters in this particular case because by living in the West you ARE saying something is WRONG with Sharia Law. Not really. It may only point to the malpractice of Sharia Law in Muslim countries, rather than the practice of it. If that makes sense. But it hardly matters. What percentage of Muslims actually reside in Non-Muslim countries? (not counting Western Muslims - converts etc). Not enough to matter. So what does that say? Majority of Muslims live in their own countries (country of origin), whether it is ruled by Shariah Law or not. If your statement is accurate, this would imply that most Muslims are/would-be happy to live under Shariah Law. No?

Sharia Law? More like Pick 'n' Mix Law. That's what Codetalker probably means, I guess. You can't take just the penal laws in sharia and throw everything else out, which is what happens in Muslim countries. The question is: is any verdict under Shariah Law lawful in Allah's eyes when the proper structures are not in place and the correct processes have not been followed? It's an interesting question, I think. I wonder if it has been investigated by past scholars? [Edit] LoL, Codetalker, you beat me to it. you need to separate Sharia Law (as ordained upon mankind by Almighty Allah SWT) and the Sharia Law being practiced in a country under the military occupation of non-Muslims! Just a clarification, Sharia Law has been drawn up from the Qur'an, the sunnah of the Prophet (Hadiths) and the consensus of learned scholars on issues not covered in either the Qur'an or the hadiths. The Shariah is not Divine Law. It has probably been modified by scholars as well as ruling dynasties through the centuries. Only the Qur'an is divine. The distinction is often overlooked.

^ So, did you go? Now what do the Nomads think of Demos ... i've gone through the phases .. teenge years, the hardcore stufff ( smashing everything ) ... Uni years, get involved wit a certain Hizb T.. did the whole who killed Markov thing ... Then Work came, so the demos and activities reduced, now am thinking what is the point of any of these Demos. LoL. We've all been there luv. I've still got my 'Free Palestine' head bands and flags. These days you'll be hard-put to get me out of the house on a Saturday. Weekends are so precious.

Congratulations and blessings on the new addition to your family. :cool: By Khayr : Fatherhood, although alot of work, is definitely a great experience. Fathers do deserve more respect. SubhanAllah, the patience it takes to maintain a family is tremendous. For those that talk down or speak ill of fathers or 'their' father; hold off on your criticism. Remember that they use to wash your diapers and stay up all night for you. No one speaks ill of fathers who take care of (and are there for) their families. The criticisms and condemnations go to AWOL dads.

Layzie, thank you very much! I completely agree with you and Lily. Earl Grey tea is a drink to behold. However, I note that both of you made a concerted effort to distance yourselves from my 10-cups a day statement. Now, why is that? 10-a-day surely isn't that mind-boggling? In fact, I'm certain that more people drink a lot more tea than that each day. Why, just in my office, one of my colleagues makes himself a cup every half-an-hour (unless he's in a meeting), so I can't even caculate how much tea he imbibes per day. It's a similar story for my aunts and mumsy. And I'm not even going to mention how much tea they drink in Eastenders! I'm NOT a freak.

Funny how children of Somali/Nigerian, Som/Jamaican parents are often assumed to be born out of wedlock. Deep prejudice or what? Sheh, you're not much of a matchmaker. Alexus would Clearly make the better partner for Flip.

It occurs to me that Islamophobia is a runaway train these days. *To be continued*

^ Writhing under the grip of bad governance, that's where. Very interesting article, Castro. :cool:

My good deed of the day: 2005: Female Circumcision Vs Abortion 2004: Gents, is FGM a quality you look for in your prospective wife? 2003: The great big question? FGM......Who's to blame? 2002: DEBATE ON FEMALE CIRCUMCISION!!!

Do you value this practice? NO Will you do or have you done it to your daughters? NO I heard that somali mothers in the West take their children to Somalia or Dubai or Egypt to get it done. Will you do the same?. NO Mak FGM has been discussed quite a lot on this board. I can't be bothered to search for specific threads, but you might find it useful to read some of the past discussions. :cool:

Sheh, your brother sounds familiar. Addictive personality? Xaasha.

aren't u dehydrated and high all the time if so? You can't tell that from my posts? LoL. I wake up, I have one. I buy one from the platform while waiting for my train. I make myself one when I get to the office. From then on it's "Ahura, want a cup?" and 'yeah' in response. Depending on how cold it is, I may buy one while waiting for my train home. I get home and I make myself one. And for the rest of the evening it's 'igu dar' whenever someone puts the kettle on. I have it criminally light. Earl Grey is truly delicious.

If this thread is nothing more than a tokenistic gesture on Nur's part, it will become apparent soon enough. In the meantime, I think it a credible effort. -
^ No, not the former, the latter. And you're right, most of the smart ppl I know are dyslexic.

What modern gadget or luxury item would you find it difficult to live without? Probably my mobile. It functions as a watch, an alarm clock, a calculator and a calender among other things. Followed by the electric kettle. When you drink ten cups of tea a day, it's beyond annoying to wait for water to boil in a digsi every time you want one.

^ LoL..I suppose congrats are in order? Well done!

Thank you. The road is long and complicated, but this is a great start, Nur. These issues need to be highlighted. -
Wildy, Origins is stocked by most large department stores (Allders, Debenhams..etc). I used to use Simple skincare, out of laziness more than anything else (it's stocked by Tescos), however, I have had to bin them after a visit to my salon for a facial a while ago. My beauty therapist advices me that off-the-shelf moisturisers don't do much for the skin. Whether they cost a bomb (Lancome) or pennies (supermarket brands), they're the same as they use the same basic ingredients (sheep fat). I'm now using a new skincare system, Skinceuticals, which is working really well for my skin. Only problem is, it costs a pretty penny and I have had to add it to my budget in place of food.

The looser is the reactionary lot who habitually dwell in past grievances. My mother is fond of saying that if one expects an audience with an Organ Grinder, they should first ready themselves for a reception with one of his monkeys. Xiin, perhaps you could be good enough to grow some balls and name names, so the individuals you are indirectly accusing can have a chance to respond to your gushing diatribe? Thank you.
