America's Smartest City? War Balaayo do you live in Seattle? :eek:

First of all, the whole 6 minutes and so just consisted of various two to three bars that were some what altered that orignilly belonged to other rappers , this is called sampling which is a thing that every rapper does and isn't unique only to Jay-Z. To bite means claiming something as your own when it is not and there are federal laws against such it's called Intellectual Property rights. so he is not a biter but a sampler.

Xoog, such an impression can be deceptive.

If that is not well-meaning advice than I don't know what is......Oh my allah, I ask what is the world coming toooooo? Also since You didn't say what your topic needs and doesn't need then I can act in any manner that I choose and want to. Sweeter, and apparently she has not.

cRitiCa, Sarcasm is a language but few understand. Horn, I believe it's the family genes , it couldn't of been helped. Xoogsade, When a group join or act together, as if by sinister design and claim that the confiscated maps from Xassan, a supposed USC supporter whose is trying to thwart and divert the road to "peace" lest we forget also, an enemy of the state, were fake based on limited information or knowledge basically an Assumption then it is indeed a conspiracy theory which like all it's kind, results in paranoia thus enabling the people back home to be easily enticed into armed conflict as you've stated.

^^^Humor is diverse as Languages, just because you don't understand a language doesn't mean it's sad. Firstly, If she chose to take one part of the statement thus branding it's entirety sad while discarding the obvious and well meaning :eek: "advice" then that is her problem besides whether one found the first part funny or not is beside the point as long one is aware of what the obvious advice given is. PostScriptum, If one can't distinguish the difference between sarcasm and seriousness then that is just so sad.

^^^I have advised that the Girl Prays and submits to Allah's will and I'm ignorant......Well from now on I shall keep my ignorant Advice to myself.

Duke, I live to "un-confuse" you. :rolleyes:

Al-Khaleej , Point Taken.

She should kill her self, seriously tell her to drink a 1/2 a gallon of Bleach and Gasoline and follow it by Rat Tonic or Anthrax which ever she prefers. On a serious note, there is no way of knowing if somebody is the Love of Your Life if you're still alive for their might be other men you might fall in love with later on in your life, besides If they are meant to be then they will be, If Allah wills it so of course so tell her to Pray Salaatul Istighaar and Leyl.

Ah how I love conspiracy theorist with such fevor, I'm quite sure there is something to be said about suspending judgement instead just believing hearsay which is quite biased in a fact. As for Caydiid coming back to fold kind of reminds me of the saying "Fool me once, shame on you but fool me twice, shame on me" and I'm oh so quite C/Laahi Yussuf would be wallowing in shame soon (Insha'allah) for Caydiid might be another example of a USC supporter being yet again "busted". :rolleyes:

^^^ Lets just agree to disagree. You find my attitude disgusting, I find yours quite naive. OG-Girl- lol I'm not that impressionable, I heard on numerous accounts how despicable Arab culture is toward women, from women who have lived there including some of my relatives, as for Iranian being persians instead of Arabs is kind of like saying "It's a tomato instead of Tamato", basically they are quite similiar except of different ethnicites, be that as it may, I wasn't implying nor stating that Iranians were Arabs but I was rather pointing out that many Eastern cultures have mysoginistic views especially the Arab culture.

Xu, lol Thank You. Supuu, you state; I think these Muslim women were taught better and I'm inclined to ask by whom? Furthermore, you claim there is something that needs to be done, (we are in agreement) but all I'm saying is, it's a situation that is abnormal to you because of your sense of right and wrong influenced may add by alot of forces that you're exposed to whereas they think it's quite normal and that there is nothing wrong with the way they are being treated, so tell me how are they supposed to unify in order to combat mysoginistic views when by everything they've been thought and exposed to makes the situation quite normal to them? P.s My attitude isn't pessimistic but rather realistic and I know it isn't just eastern cultures that mistreat women but western cultures as well, it is just that the article had more to do with a Eastern culture.

^^^ You need help lol. Hasna, my fellow Siyaatalite, Mansha'allah but I was just wondering if you converted him? As for the falling in love bit, Acuudi bilaahi, I had couple of guys who weren't friends profess their love to me, it was humbling but I also thought it was quite creepy and R-Kelly like since I was only 15-17 so I'd laugh it off telling them Love doesn't/couldn't possibly exist so what they felt for me was non-existant or they were just h!rny (I broke alot of hearts back in my days, huh Besbeeso ?)....then boy talk about good Karma, I fell in love and mansha'allah it was a Love returned thanks to the grace of Allah. Anyway, All my friends, the limited few I possess :cool: , are all men, so uh, yeah women and men can just be friends and They never felt attracted to me nor I to them for some strange reason.

The media writes that Somalis are so and so. An employer will notice this and will exclude Somalis when he is hiring new people. Thank Allah, we've anti-discriminatory laws in America, An employer would of been sued in the blink of an eye, he'd beg you to take the job. That being said, I've never been in a position nor have I felt the sense of hopelessness described and shared by the interviewees with the exception of the "Identity problem" faced by the young girl in the last statement. As for the Somalis living in that Country, they've to adapt to the Norwegian way if they aren't willing to change the system which it operates nor break down doors that are otherwise locked. Also, as told to me by my cousin who lives there, I think one of the factors that contributes to this problem is that most Somalis are on welfare when they are able to and can work for a living. That might lead a hard working, tax paying individual to hate you for sitting on your a!s while they pay for your rent and housing that you can/able provide for yourself and those Somalis that work and do provide for themselves in terms of getting education/being productive and an assett to the country fall victim to "A worm in an apple can sour the whole batch" mentality and are viewed as though since they are Somali then they must be all Lazy. I'm inclined to believe that, that is the reason why Somalis aren't being welcomed with open arms nor treated fairly.

MS excel...or whatever you call yourself... That is cute but my nick doesn't stand for MicroSoft Word. So don't talk about ISLAM wala prophet..wala a lot of nonsense sis all I wrote, If you pay clear attention, was that "Eastern women particularly Arabs have "Men are you Masters and You're inferrior" mentality that has been drummed in to them since childhood and a mentality that is hard to break for it dates back to before Prophet Maxamed S.C.W. and it still exists ......centuries later". There isn't a single sentence in that statement that is talking about Islam. As for the Putting the Prophet (SCW)name in there, it was to show how large the time gap is and how change isn't soon to come. Furthermore, it was to show long how the Arabs had the same mysoginistic views and belief's(burrying their daughters alive, mistreating their women and etc.), views that they held even before Nabi Moxamed's (SCW)time. Of course, It stopped when they embraced Islam and practiced it in its truest form but centuries later, the same views and beliefs take precedence over their religious beliefs. and people and especially the MUNAAFIQUUN are busy trying to create some stories like WIFE BEATING in ISLAM and INEQUALITY and so on... So you're stating this story like many others, is fabricated? WOW! :eek: Warheedheh, you put turtles to shame, maandhow, I wasn't insulting Islam but rather the Muslims who use it to justify their views when in fact, it doesn't coincide with our revealed knowledge, The Quran nor any Hadith's, which would make them Munaafiqiin and deserving of our comtept for their misrepresentation of our religion. Vermin!

Since there is no Question,I guess I'll ask mine which is quite easy. What was the nickname of Khalid bin Walid(RC) and why was he given such a nickname?

When cheese gets its picture taken, what does it say? Meeeeeeeee! 2- What would a chair look like, if your knees bent the other way? Very wierd 3- What do you do when you see an endangered animal eating an endangered plant? Call the Endangered Plant Society Hotline 4- If a turtle doesn't have a shell, is he homeless or naked? What do you think? 5- If a man is standing in the middle of the forest speaking and there is no woman around to hear him - Is he still wrong? This Q is pointless, Men are always wrong 6- What was the best thing before sliced bread? English Muffin 7- If quitters never win and winners never quit, what f@@l came up with, "Quit while you’re ahead"? Who ever came up with English Idioms....A English Bloke or Maybe An American Dude 8- How much deeper would the oceans be without sponges? How bad do you want to find out? 9- Everyone has a photographic memory; it's just that some of us are out of film. True or false? False, How in tarnation can you put a Film in your brain? 10- Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive, anyway. True or false and why? False, Nabi Ciise got out Alive plus if you don't take life seriously...You gon' be signing it's is "Hot in Herre" where you can't take your clothes off

OG-Girl , You call it stereotyping, I call it the truth, and btw, care to explain how that statement was a stereotype when there are facts (such as this article) that conclude otherwise? Rendevouz, find a single sentence that that led you to believe I was attacking Islam. It seems as though, like majority of Somalis, you think Arab culture is a fair representation of Islam or rather the two are one and the same (Attack arabs then you're attacking Islam) when they are different. Furthermore, I'm attacking their culture not our religion so please explain your exclamation of "Acuudi bilaahi". Did I insult Islam? ahhh, NO , for I know how fair and balanced Islam is and the rights it bestows on women, rights, may I add most Arabs along with many other groups chose to neglect in favor of their primitive cultural belief's rather than their religious belief's.

im serious, things would be easy. these dameers need to be put to death for somalia's sake. War Maandhow, in regards to the above qoute some would say the same concerning C/laahi Yusuf, I guess one man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter after all. Eebe ha u naxariisto for those 18 that have died in Suuqa Xoolaha.

Tsk Tsk Tsk Gentlemen, Is there really any need for Name Calling? I thought our elementary years were well behind us but I guess some of us do prefer those sophomoric times.

on the real tho, supuu, its not all parts of the world that has women empowered as you 'is'. some ppl were raised to fear,obey and simply be afraid of men. Say that then, believe it or not Supuu, Eastern women particularly Arabs have "Men are you Masters and You're inferrior" mentality that has been drummed in to them since childhood and a mentality that is hard to break for it dates back to before Prophet Maxamed S.C.W. and it still exists ......centuries later, so I'm quite sure change isn't in their horizon anytime soon. Besides you live in a western society and are thought that women have rights and blah blah thus why you have "You step on my toes, I'm knocking you out. " while they are thought that Women have no rights and thus why they can't stand up for themselves because they think the way they are treated is normal while you think is abnormal.......Simple as that....... But they do have a choice you say....Lets entertain that idea....Pray tell me......What are their choices and how are they, women that don't know they have choices, go about implementing change and what can cause change if they don't believe there needs to be change?

Who in tarnation are Ms.Tweeny and Trisha?
