Chimera, I say it is, even when the security context is understood but we can agree to disagree. Also, the potrayal oof the status of Muslim women and Muslim societies has little to do with political stability, I'm often asked the weirdest questions about live in the UAE, but I wasn't arguing that. Wadani said that our women are strong and I agreed, saying that it was down to the strength of our grandmothers not women lib as some would argue these days. I've had my views dismissed as being influenced by western feminism in this very board on numerous occasions, for example. LOL. Nuune. Sounds like an alien. Oh. your attraction to jinn make sense.

^hear, hear. Though, I think the gym is a big fat money making gimmick. Healthy eating and an active lifestyle including walks by the beach is just as effective. Well said, Wadani. I hardly read what they write about Somalis and Muslims in general. I also agree with you on the strength of our women, Masha Allah, and again, we get it from our ayeeyooyin not their brand of female liberation.

He says he needs the best guards in town to make sure men do not burst in and rape the women, and to stop suicide bombers from striking. Sensationalism at it's best. Blah.

Interesting, do they still do it?

Istunka maxaa looga dan leeyahay? What's the history? p.s Afgooye is MashaAllah, meel khayrku badanyahay.

I've seen rag la ilaaliyo, it' so cringe worthy but talking / communicating with your other half a few times a day, when your both busy working people, is healthy. You wouldn't have a relationship otherwise, IMHO.

LOL. Raali noqo. Kan kan maxaad ka wadaa, markaa? Never mind, I bet it's something so obvious.

kan kan soor maxay tahay?

Thanks for explaining, Wadani. I could sort of relate to what you're saying, though I often perplexed by the contradictory nature of Somali Islam.

Don't bash my Burco, waryaa.

Haa dad cusub oo aqoon leh ayaa loo baahnaa, I think most people were a bit hesitant about these new groups as their policies are unknown but now have little choice..

Interesting. Shame, I liked Jamaal. Ummaduu ka farxin lahaa. Haye, bal Xaqsoor iyo Wadani maxay isla hayaan?

^Hay, what's happening to UDUB baryahan? Riyaale coming back? What happened to Jamaal Cali?

Oodweyne is an asset for Somaliland, adeer, Somaliland. Xaajiga meel hakaga dhicin but I see what you're doing, dhirbaaxo dheer oo bold iyo itelics ba leh wuu soo wadaa bi'idni laah.

Heh@Nuune.

He was stubidhly funny until he started bashing old women. Not a fan of dumar caaye anigu, I'd have them fools lashed and skinned.

Chimera, I agree bro. Being a marginalised community, we do need to work together on many fronts, sadly not everyone agrees. Wadani;820854 wrote: Chimera ur one of my favourite Solers. Im curious though, where u draw the line on ur liberal bent. That is something ive been struggling with recently, as ive gradually become less and less conservative over the years, and fear I may be compromising aspects of my religion or cultural heritage in some ways. I find it to be a very slippery slope, and a central problem faced by many Somalis in general. Interesting, could you explain, please?
