As much as I would love for the whole of humanity to see the light... I dont think it will happen, but then again the Ghaib is known to Allah Alone.

Rahima I had also heard a similar story although in the version I have heard it was the shabi Omar (R.A) who commented that the devil is so intent on breaking ones kushoo that he whispered to him the were abouts of something imporatnt he had lost.

Who said LORD OF THE RINGS IS WACK!!! Hold me BACK.

Thank you brother MMA. There are many qabilist's on this forum the only diffrence being that due to the admin regulations and the little sophistication they have gained in the west, they cover up their sectarian ideology that has caused somalis so much pain under talk of X-lands. That is not to say that there are no people genuinly in support of regional administrations or even a velvet divorce, but as usual the peoples wish for just self goverment is being hijacked in the intreast of their clan standard bearers. Maybe this article will be of help to every right thinking somali. Vive La somalie unite.

Here we go again. Is it just me or are there more pressing issues in the somali body politic, such our unrelenting focus on qabil, and the rent seekers who profit from them, in somalia, somaliland, djibouti, and the many collaboraters in the NFD and region 5 of ethiopia, rather than this one issue of X-lands that just detiorate into tip-toeing around qabil calculations. (if you doubt this refer to a similiar post by the same person concerning the ss&h and count how many posts were edited) Reading this forum you would think that issues that have been beaten to death are of benefit to any one.

*************Here is a news flash.*************** A terrible diet and room with no ventilation are being blamed for the death of a man killed by his own gas. There were no marks found on his body, but an autopsy revealed the presence of large amounts of methane dissolved in his blood. His diet had consisted primarily of beans and cabbage, just the right combination of foods to produce a severe gas attack. It appears that the man died in his sleep from breathing the poisonous cloud that was hanging over his bed. Had his windows been open, the flatulence wouldn't have been fatal, but the man was shut up in a nearly airtight bedroom. He was an obese man with an unlimited capacity for creating the deadly gas. Three rescuers became sick and one was hospitalized.

True story: DURING THE FIRST MEETING BETWEEN SHAKA ZULU AND BRITISH EXPLORERS, WHO HAD COME TO KWA-ZULU NATAL IN SEARCH OF THE FABLED BLACK KING MARRIAGE WAS DISCUSSED. Shaka zulu: How many wives does UM-JOJI (king george) Have Peterson Head of expedition: Well your highness he has only one wife. Shaka Zulu: Ah Um-Joji is indeed a wise man, but he could have been wiser and done like me and married no woman! my attempt at humor. Ladies and gentlemen the issue here is not religion, or westernization, or innate short comings in men or women although these are all used to cover the truth up . It is something more fundamental in all somalis were ever they are, No somali male or female is ever RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT THEY DO. you can see it in the little things, for instance you have a very important meeting with a somali lady or man, you have been waiting for 40 minutes just when you are ready to leave in SHE/HE walks in, and instaed of apologizing it is always some one elses fault, dhofaar hebel hebel ba meesha ba darika iga helay ...and so on and so on. The same with the men, a woman is always a ********* when we have managed after trying very hard to bed her, and not only thatsome of us have the temerity to proclaim it from the rafters and turn a womans who had a moment of weakness in to that very thing. All men should recognize the responsibility of raising a family in islam and iman, is one of the most if not the most important thing in the world and on the day of judgement. Having this much responsibility with one family, I wonder who in his right mind and who fears the day of reckoning would marry another woman when he is struggling with his first FAMILY, whos girl children he cannot protect and whos sons he does not have the time to lead on a path of virtue. But somali men, and I say this in GENERAL comparision are the most indulgent, and respectfull of their women. Wallahi it makes me pee my pants when I hear some of our sisters saying that somali men are good for nothing " afganis and pakistanis are were you get the real men" ok you do that get a Bargofz or a Khan as you baby daddy but dont you dare come back to the somali community with that little foreigner and talk about qabil or somalinimo. Not even when you are treated as a second class citizen in HIS country and among His extended family. Any wayz I am not defending any one but we got to wake up to our responsibility's instead of bad mouthing each other, and being so damn cynical of each other.

Angel dust Ramadan Kariim to you, oh and the reason why Sami-gyrl is not here is because she was banned. As for your thorn thing, forgive me whilst I spend precious moments trying to plumb the depths of your ingenuity. Brave As exited as i am for you, all you have done is exemplify what sijui-1 has being saying. Alot of hot air, propoganda and rhetoric. This SNM you talk about fought to overthrow Siad, True. But what is also true is that they were not fighting on behalf of awdal, sool, or saanag. So in the end as prof.Samatar says, you cant put legitimise qabyalad by calling it Sland and expect to be taken seriously. ANYWAY this an old topic debated better than what we could do between us. In the Final analysis, It is I who believed more . -Napoleon Bonaparte Battle of marengo. He lost the battle at 4 o'clock and won it back at 7. Ramadan Kariim to both of you.

Brother Brave you are right after 12 years of failed confrences of warlords, I would be inclined to think that somalia shall stay in arnachy. But 1 confrence that trully recognizes the warlords for who they are and were they deserve to be ( JAIL)is all that is needed. Which brings me back to the point that Sland needs a change in direction from what they have been hacculinating about over the last 12 years. The poit of my post which you have ignored to give an out of context quotation. Angel-dust like i said you are cute when being sarcastic. Like a pekinese, worrying at sijui-1's feet. Besides even if you aint sami-girl. You obviously think to be described as such is a compliment. Oh and you didnt get the rose analogy please re-read the thread. Edna Egal a woman whos tongue is longer than her body.

Ms. Egal would be better of definig what in gods name somaliland is. Perhaps having run out of political and legal arguments that make any sense she is prepared to dance and ululate on the suffering of fellow somalis? Brother you are right on one thing it is ridiculous.

I was only able to get the english version: My God, to Thee I complain of a soul commanding to evil, rushing to offenses, eager to disobey Thee, and exposing itself to Thy anger. It takes me on the roads of disasters, it makes me the easiest of perishers before Thee; many its pretexts, drawn out its expectations; when evil touches it, it is anxious, when good touches it, grudging; inclining to sport and diversion, full of heedlessness and inattention, it hurries me to misdeeds and makes me delay repentance. 2 My God, I complain to Thee of an enemy who misguides me and a satan who leads me astray. He has filled my breast with tempting thoughts, and his suggestions have encompassed my heart. He supports caprice against me, embellishes for me the love of this world, and separates me from obedience and proximity! 3 My God, to Thee I complain of a heart that is hard, turned this way and that by tempting thoughts, clothed in rust and the seal, and of an eye too indifferent to weep in fear of Thee and eagerly seeking that which gladdens it! 4 My God, there is no force and no strength except in Thy power, and no deliverance for me from the detested things of this world save through Thy preservation. So I ask Thee by Thy far-reaching wisdom and Thy penetrating will not to let me expose myself to other than Thy munificence and not to turn me into a target for trials! Be for me a helper against enemies, a coverer of shameful things and faults, a protector against afflictions, a preserver against acts of disobedience! By Thy clemency and mercy, O Most Merciful of the merciful!

I agree with you knoweyn. That most anti-sland views are merely continuances of clan arguments under diffrent names. But you must realise that that is how somalis or atleast the overwhelming majiority of somalis see this whole inthe words of brother MMA BOONTILAND SOMALILAND, RIYOODE LAND. For instance Feisal warabe never calls it puntland but M.......... land. As for her doing her job , months of her putting her foot in her mouth should be proof enough she is doing it poorly.

Thank you sister rahima for the article. I felt so sad for those that even waste a minute on comprimising with the Kaffirun.

Salaah is the greatest of the practical pillars of Islam, and khushoo’ in prayer is required by sharee’ah. When Iblees, the enemy of Allaah, vowed to mislead and tempt the sons of Adam and said “Then I will come to them from before them and behind them, from their right and from their left…” [al-A’raaf 7:17, interpretation of the meaning], one of his most significant plots became to divert people from salaah by all possible means and to whisper to them during their prayer so as to deprive them of the joy of this worship and cause them to lose the reward for it. As khushoo’ will be the first thing to disappear from the earth, and we are living in the last times, the words of Hudhayfah (may Allaah be pleased with him) are particularly pertinent to us: “The first thing of your religion that you will lose is khushoo’, and the last thing that you will lose of your religion is salaah. There may be a person praying who has no goodness in him, and soon you will enter the mosque and not find anyone who has khushoo’.” (al-Madaarij, 1/521). Because of what every person knows about himself, and because of the complaints that one hears from many people about waswaas (insinuating thoughts from Shaytaan) during the salaah and the loss of khushoo’, the need for some discussion of this matter is quite obvious. The following is a reminder to myself and to my Muslim sisters and brothers, and I ask Allaah to make it of benefit 33 ways to acquire Khushoo' in salah

Brother observer. I saw that report on CNN, that was not expected at all by the israelis. They were scattering left right and center tying to create a rationale for the poll results. Every thing from latent anti-semitism in the european body politic, to attempting to blame it on the large immigrant community!! In china a simmilar poll came up with 75% thinking Israel is the bigger threat. Do you see a pattern.

^^^^ Brother Geediid. After 12 years of trying to gain recognition through the front door, by an unprecedented diplomatic campaign, and the setting up of a multi-clan administration, in control of an area of somalia that has seen more or less seen continous peace for the past 10 years, after all of this with Sland having been taken advantage of by ethiopia (that now says recognition is out of thequestion) and the west. Do you really think that Sland will get recognized by the back door in the way GAULETIER riyale is proposing. Please I have respect for your arguments but tell me when you are going to come back to earth.

You are very right hadal, hadal, hadal. I disagree about some peoples personal attacks on this forum concerning Edna but really to say we are incomparable to her. Of course that is the case at the moment, and neither are our arguments going to effect anything, but neither are yours. And besides after 12 yrs of talk shoudnt we forget about this Sland idea, and consider a future based on justice and integrated regions? Just a thought but the point is, and I think you will agree, is that although Ms.Edna is a great humanitarian, she is not a diplomat. One comment from her, is all that is needed to wreck your ship of state. Realise the liability period.

My grandfather had the perfet remedy for women infected deflected dissconnected by jinn and shayatin. Instead of jin tun and drum beating and perfumes and hefty payments to sheiks he would take out a whip and whip out the offending miscreant jinn who was unfortunate enough to mistake his wife daughter cousin for a receptacle. It was 100% effective Very cheap and lasted exactly 2.2 min for the woman....i mean jinn to get the message.

Oink. James Oink. The future of Israel is in your hands. Colonel Avrom Abiman ACTOOOM. Jewish porker defence brigade. Future parliamentary debate. We are proposing sweeping legislation to assure our four footed and uniquly flavoured brethen. Health benefits and paid holidays. pity the palestinians cant eat the dirty things.

Brother Che and MMA have gotten it down. A rose by any other name is still a rose Only what we have now are people trying to hide behind X-lands. As an excuse for the usual qabilist nonsense. Is it only me or are you as intreasted as i am in knowing what criteria is going to be used to expel people from a construct that does not exist. Anyhoo I thought that once you are banned you aint allowed to re-register. But angel dust is so cute when she is being sarcastic. Maybe if i click my heels she will go away. :cool:

1-mahathir mohamed. 2-yassir arafat 3- all those faceless and nameless muslim ikhwan who have dissapeared, and been killed in all the foreign controlled muslim lands. E.g 800 men missing in eygpt scince 1997 crackdown on "islamists". Sureley this BROTHERS AND SISTERS need to be remebered

Thank you brother. As i said before i am a fundamentalist. I agree that nationalism in a muslim context has severe connotations. The quran clearly states that the reason why Allah (s.a.w) choose to divide his creation into nations was for increased knowledge of one another, and it also is clear about the precedence of the muslim ummah over all other man made constructs. But my nationalism does not predisipose me to be arrogant towards other ethnicities or even feel them to be some how inherently inferior. My nationalism is just a reflection of a section of the muslims ummah's struggle towards, the great muslim bortherhood. Also it seems the more we look at the horn of africa the more it seems we will be subsumed under the kaafir politiys of kenya and ethiopia threatening not only our "nation" but our muslim ummah. But like i said in the final analysis i am a member of not only the muslim nation but JAMIATL-HAQ thise who struggle for a just and fair muslim rule in the ummah.
