No hanjabaad, no retaliation. Peace is boring, maahinoo?

^She means there isn't a darkside that I don't know about..@ Ibts..II lol@ qarax reer Burc style? Gabar, are we from the same Burc? LoL. Night ladies...

^Go with her, just the convo will be an adventure. Ibts, I told you it's not happening. It isn't me this time either, so hold it!!

^LooooooooooL. Now, it makes sense. The kids are well@ MsDD.

Sheh probably is. I thought it was an inside joke.. Haye dee, you still thinking.. Hiyaa, MsDhudhuc.

LMFAO. At this rate SOL is going to get blocked by Etisalat. Sheh baa ugu daran, how did her brother come into this? Macbuudka.

However, He has given us signs of His existance and many of us can see them and thus choose to believe.

Good choice. Somalias leadership hasn't been this good since the 60s. I hope together they manage to bring AlShabaab on board, wich will be easier to do if they ask AMISOM to leave. Allow sahal. Insha Allah Khayr.

^ . Remember road runner? Siigo (dust) ayey kicin jiratay markay aad u cararto. NG, is doing well too actually, he no longer refers to me as Ayaayo. Ibts, Hooyo is well nw, babes.

^ . Ibts, that was a nice story. I've forgotten most of those tales, have you anymore? p.s you've used more Somali in this one, keep it up.

I'm guessing the other is AT&T. Congrats to you both, enjoy the sleepless nights. Ameen to the ducaas.

^Waa saa Malika, waa laga daaliya. They never return. LOOOOOL@ NG. Masakiin, I bet your address was eventually blacklisted.

^You weren't pushy enough Malika. Sidooda yeel and smile sweetly throughout. Also, everything they say a million questions ka daba gee and ask them to show you where in the bible it says that.. .

For business card, he should do as your leaders do, NG. His Highness, Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, The President of the Republic of Somalia and former leader of the UIC, IH. (Illahay Hadaayo)

Witnesses, yes. I'm not telling her to give him a seminar but to be a bit more sharing with Islam when he asks. Ever flipped the tables on a jahova, offered them leaflets and a translation of the Quraan. try it, it's fun. It's a pleasure @ Aaliyah.

^I agree with you Aaliyah. The only time that I think it's okay to shaandee is when you're considering 'applications', i.e your single girl and a few brothers call you up from time to time - but you have not expressed any exclusivity and he knows that you're not an item. However, once you agree to go out on a date with someone, you've crossed a threshhold and should be respectful enough to give the brother his dues, a fair chance or tell him where to go. I'm sure that is how you wuld want to be treated. The fact that you're considering other guys is evident enough that he isn't what your really looking for.

Imisa jir baad tahay? ..and, aw guuryo.

^No, Jabiry will be rich. I don't see how this will help UDUB in the election? Even if this was transparent (it isn't), it's far too little, too late. Berbera is a shadow of her former self. Intay u sacab tumayaan, I wish reer SL start taking these thieving cretins to account.

Thanks for the duaa guys, she's well now.

^Allah sent a Messenger, Lut (alayhi sallaam) to a whole community of them. The man is of Allah's creation, living on His earth and bounties, she is in a position to teach him about his Lord and that is her duty as a Muslim. And you dn't just apply the sharia on a people, there are pre-conditions. Ibts, Talk to him about tawheed, the psycholgical and spiritual benefits of salah since he's interested in that aspect. There's a nice book on this by Hussain Al Awaishah. Then slowly talk about other aspects of the deen, aqeedah first then the rules because the rules often don't make sense when you dn't have the aqeedah in place.

Thanks for posting, sis. I wish, I could. She's not to well at the mo.

^LOL. I'm feeling homesick dee.

I'm a Londoner living in Dubai. Like Stoic, I'm finding it hard to let go of my old home.

Cageprisoners If Guantanamo Bay is the cancer is Obama the cure? A crucial aspect of cancer care is to determine whether it has spread (metastasized) and if so how far, since any surgical removal would generally be considered of dubious benefit, if the original tumour has metastasized. Naturally the crucial question is whether Guantanamo and its malignancy has already spread, rendering Obama’s proposals laudable but futile. Cageprisoners, along with the Center for Constitutional Rights, Center Human Rights & Global Justice and Reprieve, recently sent a letter to President Obama applauding his efforts but urging caution; our collective experiences whilst campaigning against detention without trial,upholding the rule of law and respecting international conventions, has made us aware that Guantanamo was only the iconic face of abuses in the global War on Terror. Soon after its inception in January 2002, numerous prisons were established on the same principle of holding and interrogating terrorist suspects. Evidence of this early spread is apparent when one of the early camp commandants at Guantanamo Maj Gen Geoffrey Miller had been sent to Abu Ghraib to “guantanomize” it. However the most pernicious aspect of Guantanamo is that the mindset engendered by its architects and supporters has spread globally and contaminated the political, legal and public domains which will require a far greater effort in redressing the violations committed by the Bush administration. This mindset is encapsulated in the 1% doctrine espoused by Dick Cheney and articulated in Ron Suskind’s book of the same name. To quote “Even if there is just a 1% chance of the unimaginable coming true, act as if it’s a certainty. It’s not about our analysis it’s about our response”. This effectively opened the floodgates to allow fear, suspicion and “intelligence analysis”, often obtained by torture to become the arbiters of who should be detained rather than what would be admissible in a court of law. The malign effects on the political and legal levels is ironically being played out in the Liberty City trial in the US, where despite the case already being deemed a mistrial twice, proceedings recommenced last week. In the original arrests the Deputy FBI leader John Pistole had stated publicly that these were “aspirational rather than operational terrorists” as their plot to blow up the Sears Tower consisted of them possessing combat boots, a Samurai sword and a pledge of allegiance to Al Qaeda given to an FBI informant. Despite the paucity of evidence press conferences were held and the former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales made much political and legal capital out of it. The juries on two occasions thought otherwise , yet this trial is still going before the American public. Bruce Winnick, a law professor at University of Miami summed it up when he said ”The fear card was what they were playing. 3 years after the arrests, the public mindset has changed.” Let us hope so. Unfortunately this emphasis on catching “aspirational” terrorists in the embryonic stages of plots has proliferated across the Anglosphere and beyond and is illustrated in numerous “plots” with similar levels of evidence. However these trials have become nothing short of inquisitions over the religious and political beliefs, books and internet pages read and affiliations of the suspects. The objective seems to be to prove a suspect is “Islamist positive” and warrants incarceration or being placed under house arrest with a control order because of what they might do rather than what they have done or are capable of doing. Control orders are the most Kafkaesque tools produced from this pre-emptive thinking and are totally dependent on “intelligence” rather than evidence necessitating the notorious institution of SIAC where this intelligence cannot be challenged on grounds of national security. Despite the emphasis on terrorism, this phenomenon is not just targeting Muslims; civil libertarians have noted the abuse of these powers in stifling dissent and Green and Animal rights` activists have already felt the effects of pre-emption. Farcically in 2006 BAA attempted to stop members of the National Trust, RSPB and Woodland trust from using the Picadilly line, Heathrow Express and certain motorways to ensure they could not access Heathrow based on the premise that their membership might make them a risk to BAA property. Returning to the original question of whether closing Guantanamo and secret prisons will cure the cancer, the answer has to be no. These institutions were built on the tragedy of 9/11 and nourished by the fear and paranoia of the Bush administration who deemed it necessary to incarcerate thousands of suspects in Guantanamo Bay and beyond. Additionally, torture and rendition were normalised in an attempt to create a safer world for America and its allies. The judgement of the American people in voting out the Bush administration and embracing the politics of hope rather than fear are signs of real change. However, a lesson that was rapidly learnt by ourselves and the other signatories of our open letter, was the need to continually challenge and investigate the claims made by those in power. In almost all cases we have been vindicated in our allegations of torture, disappearances and renditions. Guantanamo Bay and the secret prisons are not a few “anomalies” in the words of former PM Tony Blair, but symptomatic of a cancer that has spread widely. It is imperative that the architects of this are held accountable, thus ensuring this dark period of American and global history is never repeated and the necessary safeguards are established.
