^Woow..Gabdhaha Soomaliyeed dhaqankee bee leeyhiin? Being submissive?

Brother Nur, Dont you think,Islam and democracy have some principles in common,the respect for individual rights, liberty, equality, rejection of absolute power, limiting the role of state, and supremacy of the law? I believe Islam already offered sound and effective direction to a national life, with constitutional and representative government are well rooted in Islamic political thinking, not only in Islam’s ethical imperatives of justice, equality, and the dignity of man, but also in well established political and legal tenets concerning the conduct of public affairs , such as shura [broad mutual consultation] ,bay’a [acceptance with commitment], wikala [delegation].and ridha al-awaam [popular consent]. It is just that after the influx of westerners in the lands of the Muslims they have been able to influence,changes in our juridistial systems hence the confusion...of what is democracy and how does it operate in an Islamic country without the secular influence.. thanks for the thought provocing thread..one had to go read and research to seek the knowledge...Jazakhallah kheyr.

^Lol..Garisa must be a small town huh!.. The video was cool,a new thing for us oldies...it just seems a tad bit too western for my liking.I probably expected them to run through fields of flowers and stuff like that..Lol

Sugar Love Lol@not wanting to burden him with worries for a wedding..Girl,where did you learn this from?? First let me take this moment to welcome you to SOL.. Hun.meeting a guy isnt that hard,there are decent men out there but what matters is why do you keep attracting the wrong kind of guys in the first place? You said, what is more important then the right qualities is the innitial connection[chemistry] if there isnt that then there is nothing...sis,dear one can have chemistry with any tom,dick and harry dont you know that? how is that to be more important then qualities that make him the right man for you..what if that spark dies after the first week of marriage,what then? Hun,again before you go seeking these men,do a soul searching exercise.. Cut yourself some slack will ya,and dont be too concerned about what a bunch of strangers would say or wont say.What is important is what you think of yourself...How do you view yourself? I hope I havent offended you in anyway or shape

^Its similar to the what I had observed many moons ago,while still in Africa.The groom and bride are escorted to their room,the guest,family linger outside the room..pretending to be dancing heladha..what a preculiar practise,bilaa edeeb bee ahayeen islamahasii.Apparently they wait to know if the dude was capable of doing the business or he needs help so the girl could be taken to hospital..subhanallah,what a fiasco!! Lily,you dont want to know what Che's version is..

Lol@protecting..Ah,had you forgotten my 6'4 boxer of a husband.Che knows not to mess with me girl!.. :cool:

^The thread has officially been hijacked to the max.. CL,waax walaan!

Ha.Shehe,yeah its recepie not recipe..He he..Lol Nephthys,you got to try it before you say..eeeww!!,you can even make banana bread hadee..

Oops Lily..the thread moved fast..Heh! Che- hadhaa dont unplugged your phone,when I reach bean town's airport..Hada,I have two weeks coming up in the next two weeks.Is that room still vacant?

^Maxaa gashatee maanta? I paid a hefty price for not wearing appropriet clothes last week...

^Lol..what do you mean we dont have lives? now Lily you dont know whats planned with these friends? Tell me what would you be doing?

^Only friday off? I am planning to go visit old friends,childhood friends,heck any friend that has extra room!..Lol

Lol..@Stoic demand to be included in the salaams.. Hello Ibti,fb,Stoic and Lily..

^Lol,I havent seen anything else reer Somaliya use banana for,but to be eaten along side bariis or basto. Pilau bila nyama,tastes awful unless you have nice side dish like a coconut creamed fish sauce to go with it.

^Pilau isiyo na nyama..only onion and tomatoes. I got to share this recepie for Banana Mandazi,yummy! Ingredients; To serve up to 4 people, 1 egg 2 ripe bananas,roughly chopped 2/3 cup of milk 1/2 table spoon vanilla essence 2cups of self raising flour 1 tsp bakind powder 3tbsp sugar[you can add some more if got a sweet tooth like I] vegetable oil for frying. 1.Place the egg,bananas,milk,vanilla essence,flour,baking powder and sugar in a blender or food processor. 2.Process to make a smooth batter.It should have a creamy dropping consistency.If too thick,add alittle extra milk.Set aside for 10 min. 3.Heat the oil.When hot,carefully place spoonfuls of the mixture in the oil and fry for 3-4 minutes until golden.Remove and drain on kitchen paper.. serve with a nice xawaash tea! ..cant wait to get home!

^Calm down yakhii,that comment was aimed at Abu-geeljire, too many geeljires in here...nevertheless am impressed with seef labodka!

^Looooool, your in a zone of your own today.. too much info there! CL,men have beautiful minds,so creative! and easy to read,after that drive to work experience the brother cant concentrate... Stoic stay focused!!

I honestly believe my friend's husband was the late Dave,alla maxaa nagtasuu shaqeeysa! :mad: Lol@sitting accidentally on a golf driver..

^Lol@ the "sawa"... Hamna noma,assuming you do actually know swahili if not..I mean no problemo!

^Am disappointed yaa Geeljire,why do you need to explain anything..you is the Al Shabaab,the new warriors of Somali resistance,maxaa kenee "explain myself" Where is the burning fire,the determination at any cost gone?

Abu, you know it exist,almost all Somalis suffer from it..The "Gaalo waaye sydrome" Gaaladan,Gaalka xunka etc etc..

:rolleyes: @ Zafir Ducaysane,get some manners and please dude afsomaliga nagaama xigtii ! :mad:

^Lol,fb it was between what I wrote and this; "Tell me how am I supposed to live without you How am I supposed to live without you How am I supposed to carry on When all that I've been living' for is gone" but I thought nah! that is too soft,so to toughen it up,I had to be harsh.As I thought the dude is used to walendo's way of loving..[poking at your eyes while at seducing you].. ps.I too was pulling your leg..sawa? Che who??

Horta why do folks like to pick on marcsmith? CL,why oh why dont you like marcsmith?
