Emp. There was nothing dodgey about my comment, I read Ethiopia leaves + Clan(s) = Somaali take over and I thought that's how it aught to be. You saw Blessed and thought Secessionist = comment baaad, evil!! Haha. Duke, Somaalis and coordinated are a contradiction in terms. They have no more excuses now that Ethiopia is out of the picture, even if there are some skirmishes to begin with, in the end they will have to talk and this time it will be between Somalis. That's a good development. Insha Allah, Khayr!

^ . I meant Somaalis, you joker. I’m not surprised you read it as a tribal statement though, not at all surprised. Duke, Ethiopian presence in Muqdisho was the main point of contention between the Somali groups, their presence was the reason for the renewed conflict. Now that they're out of the picture, it will first translate to less violence in the streets and secondly it’s one less the obstacle to the peace process. I personally believe that Shariif is a man who would make compromises to ensure that peace prevails.

Sad to see Ethiopians (who brought nothing but death and distruction to Mogdishu) leave and the rightful owners take control???? Ah, yaa 'wadani'!

Yeeeeeeeeeey, Alhamdulilah! It's time for peace, Insha Allah!!!!

Some do, in fact nomads on this very forum have demonstrated, signed petitions, organised events - search the archives. Giving to Somaalia is the done thing, half the people live on remmitance from the qurbe joog. There have been on going fundraising drives - at least in the UK. We can do a lot more, so much more but to say that Soomalis care more about Falistiin and do more for Falistiin is untrue and unfair. A few threads on a cyber forum don't even scartch the surface, love.

^This one is an Amhari institution that wants to make money out of Somalis. Burco university was founded, built, supported and financed by Somali.

^Apply for Burco University, you sell out! http://www.admascollege.edu.et/ Nuune, any where that needs a good Somali university.

Originally posted by -MARX-: JB thread could be construed as something else! We all know in Hargeisa monkeys are refered as to a particular group of people!! LOOOL. Hahaha. In Burco too. Horta, reerkaa weli malaga xaal doontaa?

Hmmmmmm. p.s Burco already has a very good university.

Wasn't Khalid Mahmood the same guy that called Blair a Zionist? He also called for the government to take a closer look at HuT activities, I think. He’s an interesting character. I am a Muslim and spent a large part of my childhood in Saudi Arabia – something which, in the eyes of many Muslims, means I should automatically defend the "Palestinian struggle". This is absurd and such support invariably means overlooking the vicious crimes being perpetrated by Hamas – against the Jews and, increasingly, its own population too. Errr. Hamas were around in his childhood?? Goodness, he must be a very talented young man. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Aboo 'Abdullaah Hasan As-Somaalee. A brother from Cardif, does amazing talks. I think he studied under Rabeec Haadee. Will dig up his talks.

^It's maids..dear. Would you have one, mise waad baqaysaa? Originally posted by Malika: ^There is something alluring to men about a woman whom is tending to their needs hunno. In these cases a maid,I know of a person whom after a long holiday in UK,went back to find the maid is the new Mrs. Her husbands response was,she has been more then a wife to me,she feeds me,clean for me and above all is very attentive to me and my needs. That's the crux of the matter, Malika. There was a lack of satisfaction within the marriage. However, there's a maid culture here. 99% of families have live in maids and it doesn't cause maritial discord. I personally don't see the need for a live in full time maid, unless you have to work and have a large family but when did washing the dishes, cleaning, doing the laundary become part of the mans needs? If anything the maid is tending to the womans needs, it's the men that aught to be worried..LOl Astaqfirullah.

.. justifiable? Hmm. That's a whole other topic but my argument is that the mere precense of a beautiful woman will not cause a man to cheat. All men interact with beautiful / attractive women on a daily basis, some of those women have no qualms about being a mistress. There has to be a strong inclination to cheat on his part (and hers) for something to come out of it.. Some maybe tempted, but don't act on it due to the factors I've listed and then there are those who are not even tempted because they're content with what they have. I'm just saying that there is nothing the wife can do to stop her husband, she just has to have good faith in the relationship and not bother herself with futile security measures.

African Own. I'm well acquainted with the fact that the people have been through a lot. What has the availability of gas cylinders got to do with that?? God, it gets better.. Some people were already shipping them from Carabta for years. It only makes life easy for those who have the money and benefits that particular company. This is good PR for that company and that's all but it's not amazing news to me because I think Somaalis are capable of more. *shock*

Amazing??? Says a lot about our expectations, I don't even know why it's news.

I'm not saying that there won't be any temptation but something holds men back be it honesty, loyalty, fear of Allah, self respect, love & respect for wife - fear of wife. May Tyra Banks noqoto nin xaaskiisa ku kalsoon won't sway and if he does then something was amise to start with. This 'rag baa laka boobey' business is bullshidh ay naaguhu ku maskax dhistaan and saqajaan men use it to their advantage. Bottom line, if he wants to cheat (flirt, marry or whatever), he will. If he doesn't, he won't. It's that simple! If he is gonna bounce on the maid, waa saqajaan waiting for an opportunity to cheat present itself.

LOL Nuune. Women are better at Shukaansi lines but for some reason, ragu xawaash bey isku ridaan, marka la doonto. I say, don't bother. LOL. NG, There are pretty (and willing) women everywhere, ayeeyo. In fact most extra maritial affairs happen outside the home (at work). If you're gonna take security measures over what 'might happen' due to temptations, waa in indhaha, maskaxda iyo wadnaha la iska saaro.

LOL. KK, it's not only the maids dear, magaaladaan naago xiirayaa ka buuxo. Maalin dhaweyd, I was in my regular dirac shop and the owner ayaa naag igu hor shukaamisay. He has a family in Ethiopia and everyone knows (wuu hadal iyo kaftan badanyahy). Ku teh, habalow cidladii waad ku xummatay, naag aad u bahantahay, macaan. This went on 4 ten minutes, I'm standing there fighting to keep my mouth shut. LOOl. He was giving her the brush off. Oh the embarrassment... Not all men@ NG. Saqajaan men.

A&T, Loool. You're a joker! Mabrook dee, Illahay haidiin sahlo.

What's more telling Abu, is how 'me' posts an article about the Dervishes (a Northern Somaali movement) and then goes on to question Warran Cade about how Northerners felt about colonial rule. Ama yarku waa slow ama dan kaluu leeyahay. Hmmmm. I'm inclined to go with the later. The Dervish movement was not the ONLY movement in SL. There was always local resistance which lead to the liberation of SL 1960. The seccessionist arguement is based on the existance of 'The State of Somaliland' between 26 June -1 July 1960. Not the British rule!

^Hey.. I tried that, they don't speak English. Try both and tell us what happens..

^Jizaaks hon. I guess shaytaans hold over me is making me question my niyah constantly. I hope ayeeyo gets better, Insha Allah and that Allah makes the grave a place of rest, Inshallah. Ameen. Memorising surat Al-Mulk and reciting it every night protects one from the Cadaab-alQabr.

Dalmar, walaal. The trouble with long relationships is that when these things get prolonged, they start to get fussy and confusion and mistrust star to surface. Relationships develop in stages, stay in one for too long than it becomes stale and before you know it you start noticing faults and things that aught to change. It’s a natural human instinct, if I sit still in a room, I eventually find something that needs moving, dusting - or I get the urge to get out -fast!! . There seems to be a few other issues here, her going through a major life transition, possibly being badly advised by friends. Probably being told the same 'you're too young' rubbish that Qalbi Adayg and Biixi have written on here. Then it’s her family knowing about you - more pressure. Your female friends, her jealousy. Jacaylkiinu maka waynyahay? If so, just talk it over and purpose and sell yourself like Ibtisaam said, women like that. If you can't move past the hang ups, move on, don't force it and make a fresh start. Drag it on as it will only develop into more confusion and heartache. Pay no mind to the you‘re too young / enjoy life brigade. Wax jeclaada oo guursada ayey waayeen. LOL I’m kidding but ‘ball and chains’ is being stuck on shukaansi mode for years, if you get my drift @ Qalbi Adayg . There’s nothing sweeter than being in a xalaal relationship with your sweetheart. My labo gambo, all the best walaal.. @ Dalmar. p.s Don't forget to pray istikhaarah.

Confronting the Trials of Our Time - Between Extremism and Passivism Growing up as a Muslim in the last thirty years has been a trying experience for all of us who have lived it. We are confronted almost on a daily basis with catastrophes in multiple places throughout the Muslim world – so many that you start to lose count. Your own “issues” of trying to grow up sane and balanced in the 21st century pale in front of the practical genocides that we have witnessed (Srebrenica) as well as those we continue to witness (Palestine, Chechnya, etc.). It is enough to lead some into clinical depression, others into losing their faith and yet others to acts of terror and extremism. There seems to be a great amount of confusion regarding the correct Islamic response to these tragedies – what would the Prophet (saas) do in such circumstances? That question though is not as hard to answer as some imagine it to be – at least in theory. Continue reading
