^If the case is for the child - then the child is better off with the parents despite of conditions. Emphasis should be put to improve and elivate the conditions - rather than taking ones children just because their are poor..Turkey can build orphanages/homes for the children in Somalia - where the children would have a continuity of their culture/religion and identity.

^So are the brothers on campuses at a better place? How do the brothers escape the clutches of the secular monster ideologies at those institutes?

^Nope, you didnt miss anything - we just wanted to feel good, is that a crime?..Lol

Lol..It seems there are various issues discussed on this thread..lol

Just a little story to share - A friend of mine had finally found means of contacting the people that resided in their home after they had to leave Mogadishu. To her suprise an old lady answered the phone, and when she told her who she was the old lady started crying. She was crying with relief, apparently all these years she has been praying for the owners to come back so that she could hand them over their property. She didnt want to die without having given back the owners their property and to seek forgiveness... My friend told her, what has happened has happened and she is grateful that the old lady has stayed all those years in their home - which means at least it was looked after to some extent. Now my friend is only waiting for when its safe enough to go back and relocate other occupants of her fathers many houses/properties. Mogadishu, has been through alot - most of us, dreamt of living and working in that city. I hope we get to live our dreams.

^Ah! the beauty of youth - one always assumes that life is eternal. I say live and let life be lived...time awaits no man! People take life far too serious.

Lol@Juxa and Chubaka - thats very normal 15yr old boys, lazy so and so's..lol. I think anyone who wants to have children should be given teenagers to live with for 6 months..that ought to make them change their minds..lool Jummac Mubarak to you too Jac..

^You have all the rights to be concern, as a Muslim - any other Muslim is your brother & sister and indeed, one will want for his brother or sister what he wants for himself - and in your case, its awakening others in regards to what is appropriet and what is not. I am sure one can create or find means to be able to address this issue at campus - there ought to be a Muslim student organisation..perhaps organise talks, presentations?? I say , make it your business - with the right intentions.

I dont know why, I have such a mix feeling about the so called revolution in Libya, perhaps my panafricanism is getting the best of me. I am sadden that Gaddafi is outstead, yet am for change. Oh well.

^Ameen, taasi walaga duceystaa inadeer - thats the ultimate wasted life, I say. May Allah guide us all..amiin
