I just wish he could do something about Somalia's troubles instead of just singing about them

Originally posted by Mr. Jibis: non-Somalis like myself which in turn is helping the language to spread further to their children, and will soon not be limited to just Somalis, but also to "halfies", as someone in here put it so eloquently at one time. ACTUALLY, "halfies" will have a harder time learning their language because they have to balance two different cultures. Im a 100% sure your kids will not know Somali because of their surrondings (canada) and their mixed race. (a double wammy lol) Somali is in danger because most of the population is located otuside of Somalia and the coming generations will only speak english, swedish, and arabic. This is a result of the state of Somalia. If it was stable more people would stay and our culture wouldn't be faced with possible extinction.

These hadiths/fatwa are contrary to what i thought because If you can't go agianst your ruler no matter how oppresive, Islam is DEFINITELY not compatible with democracy: The Prophet said: ‘‘There are three things towards which the heart of a Muslim never shows hatred or rancour: giving obedience to the rulers (wulaatul-umoor)...." So Aboo Bakrah said: Be silent, I heard the Messenger say: “Whosoever holds contempt for the ruler of Allaah upon the earth, then Allaah will hold contempt for him.†This is an authentic hadeeth related by at-Tirmidhee (no. 1812). "I have already informed you earlier that it is not permissible to revolt against the ruler, except under two conditions: Firstly: the presence of clear disbelief (kufr) from him about which you have a proof from Allaah. Secondly: the power and ability to remove the ruler without bringing about a greater evil. And without these two conditions, it is not permissible. (ibn baaz fatwa)" fatwa [/qb]

guys i know the whole 13 year old thing sucks but what about the fact the HE MARRIES FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF SEXUAL PLEASURE and when he gets BORED HE GETS ANOTHER ONE?? This is the true unislmaic crime! :mad:

SOCODE BADNA i think ur just arguing for arguings sake! Since you seem to be a self-taught man im assuming you didn't go to school? I know the thought of biased "fallible" teachers is terrifying :rolleyes:

^^ Baashi that was an interesting read but im still in the dark as to what exactly is an ISLAMIC GOVERNMENT. Would you say its just a CONSERVATIVE democracy? All the freedoms expressed in Western democracy which cause conflict is not present in an Islamic deomocracy correct? Xinn you best articulated what i think about Islam and Democracy. Although we cannot innovate our religion to our liking, it is in our best interest to "assimilate" democracy into islam. Where is the harm in that?

Originally posted by AYOUB_SHEIKH: We don't know the facts from fiction of this story because of spin, but, how far-fetched is this list? 1. Tyrants and apostates of our leaders 2. Jews 3. Christians 4. Evil scholars of Muslims 5. Hypocrites 6. Ignorance of our umma [the Muslim community] Its ironic because FOUR out of SIX "enemies" are muslims themselves. (1,4,5,6)

^^although my metaphor(?) was taken out of context, im glad to see your enjoying it pink butterfly spaceships? i might just hurl!

Khayr you seem to have a problem with reality. Everytime someone presents a fact of the ummah you go on the defensive! IF WE DON'T LOOK AT THE PROBLEMS OF THE UMMA CONSTANTLY AND DISCUSS THEM HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO FIX THEM??? believe it or not the Umma is far from perfect and instead of avoiding the situation we should meet it head on.

Originally posted by LaVie:[ QB] . Sbx those women who find themselves oppressed only permitted themselves to be in that situation. [/QB] R U serious? Go to Saudi Arabia or Iran, lets see if u can get up one morning and say "Thats it, i've taken this to long, im going to get...A JOB!"NO because, contrary to what you think, there ARE forces that keep women oppressed. ALEXUS- although its good to dream, i think your going overboard. Women and men have had there "seperate spheres" since the cave men and will till we fly in spaceships.

Worst Trip: Abu Dhabi aka little India the asian prostitutes, the oppresive heat, the lewd/stalker type men, the stuck up arabs (whom you never see), and the CONSTANT HAZE OF SOMKE!! not a place for asmatics for sure oh and mad road rage! "yalla ya mahamad!!!!"

Originally posted by Foxy: On serious note, the palestine/isreal issue is an ongoing entertainment.. cheers "ENTERTAINENT?" hopefully you meant problem or issue! Back to the topic, Xu i know what you mean. Afterall if one continues to explode themselves and end up only killing his fellow muslims, whats the point? Terrorize the isreals one might say, but did that give the palestinians their land? nope. Other peacful ways that actually give RESULTS must be explored

Personally horoscopes is a bunch of bull that just make people feel better, because i have never seen one that says anything negative (maybe u have?) A science? maybe a psuedoscience if even that

i just LOVED this essay. The analogies and metaphors he uses are excellent. I agree with almost everything. Going back in time might sound a little crazy KASHAFA, but would you perfer the AIDS ravaged and poverty stricken Africa now or a more peacful and happy Africa then? (the simple life is always appealing!)

KHEYR whats wrong with being informed about the indecencies of the umma. First of all its really not even about religion, just backward cultures! What a A VERY FEW muslims do can't do that much damgage to our already bad image (terrorist attacks)

^ silent but deadly i wonder why black people die first in movies?

i guess a 10 page topic wasn't enough for the infamous SANGUB,now we made another one :rolleyes:

whats up with these Somalis growing up in Pakistan?? i just don't get it :confused:

ESTEE LAUDER and CHANEL number 5 such a classic

Our culture and religion has already made this decision for you, follow your parents till the ends of the earth

Originally posted by Conspiracy.: It does matter because culture influence is stronger then religion, if my sister daughter marries a Somali guy whatever happens between them I know she still going to be safe I will be able to find him or his family but with a non-Somali he could take her kids and just go with no where to find, actually i thought there was WAY more of religion then culture in our somali society! and who says you can trust a somali guy? they can be just as crazy as the next guy

have you seen the documentary about Heynas on Discovery channel (i was bored ok!) THEY ARE THE MOST DISGUSTING ANIMALS ON EARTH!!! their deplorabel lifestyle alone( i can't bare to write what i have seen!) disqualifies them from a muslims diet.

I agree with Castro that the jilbab is a drastic change and much because of the strife. Then again i agree it is part of Islam and a good thing. But do you really think i could suddenly burst out of a hut in jeans and a shirt in Somalia w/o getting hurt? come on lets be realistic it is not a choice

what she is doing can't compare to what her uncle did! Infact i think you guys have forgotten that, since you seem to be just accusing the neice of being a bad muslim!
