Are you married?

I don't understand why this video is so viral? Somali women can and do dance.. big deal!! I love the ways she dances circles around that dhoore. Priceless.

I'd love to learn it..

He does not see any rhyme or reason he should teach his children Somali language since he believes deeply it would do them no good. His thought process is rooted to the fact he speaks flawless Somali and can recite poetry by the great Somali poets and it has brought him no good and therefore, he does not want to waste his time teaching his children Somali. What good will it truly bring them anyway? Talk about being an educated fool. It's a shame the he doesn't see the fact that Somalia has made him the man he is today, he benefited from Somalis and Somalia more than all of us in this forum, so ungrateful. SMH

You didn't answer my question? Not sure what Duriyad or Suberiyad mean but don't feel pressurised to conform or take drastic measures due to views expressed on the internet. Facaa weeyee ragani, iska celi!

Once peace and stability are established across our lands, a sort of union of the Somaali will be borne out of necessity. I reckon this will include all of the lands inhabited by all Somalis, not just the regions which were under the Republic. I'm not sure what it will look like, perhaps it will be something unique to us. Imposing foreign models on Somalis has historically proofed to be disastrous. We really need to peace and people before flag and state. In my opinion, there's already a social / familial union and also business / trade between the people. Some of us just don't know it... Caano Geel, You've just contradicted yourself in your half English / Somali post. Multilingualism in any society is a great asset! But I agree. why Italian? Mandarin would be more useful. Arabic is the official second language and will always remain so..

Are folks in Somalia / SL that different? How? I don't believe your political views have to be dictated by your qolo.

http://fullfact.org/factcheck/Muslim_women_spared_jail_for_attack_because_not_used_to_drinking-3179 Did group of Muslim women escape jail for attack because 'not used to alcohol'? 8 December, 2011 - 15:13 -- Amy Sippitt Some newspapers have reported a group of Muslim women avoided stronger sentences for attacking a passer-by after the mitigation was given that they were 'not used to alcohol'. Is this an accurate reflection of the case? “A gang of Muslim women who attacked a passer-by in a city centre walked free from court after a judge heard they were 'not used to being drunk' because of their religion”. Daily Mail, 7th December 2011. “The judge handed the women suspended sentences after hearing that they were not used to alcohol because their religion does not allow it”. The Daily Telegraph, 7th December 2011. “A gang of four women who repeatedly kicked a care worker in the head have walked free from court after a judge heard they were 'not used to being drunk'.” The Metro, 7th December 2011. A number of newspapers published articles yesterday about a case which took place at Leicester Crown Court where a group of four women received suspended sentences for actual bodily harm to a female passer-by in the city centre. The papers all chose to focus their articles on the unusual factor involved in the case which was that the women were not used to drinking alcohol since they were Muslim and therefore their behaviour was somewhat affected by this. The stance taken by the papers was that as a result, the women received lesser sentences than would normally be given for the crime. Given that this seemed to be quite an unusual case, Full Fact decided to investigate. Analysis We contacted the Judicial Office to find out more details about the case and they told us the judgement was given orally and therefore there was no written manuscript available. They did however point us towards an article written in the Leicester Mercury. They also asserted that the reference to alcohol had been made in mitigation of the accused and that the role of the victim's boyfriend was one which impacted on the judgement. According to the Mercury, the Judge Robert Brown said, “This was ugly and reflects very badly on all four of you. Those who knock someone to the floor and kick them in the head can expect to go inside, but I'm going to suspend the sentence”. The paper reported that the Judge accepted the women may have been victims of unreasonable force from the victim's partner, who was walking with her at the time of the attack. The inference by the article, and by our contact with the Judiciary, was that this admission led to the suspended sentence. The reference to alcohol was made in mitigation by Gary Short, “They're Somalian Muslims and alcohol or drugs isn't something they're used to”, and appears towards the end of the article. It is therefore written as a detail of the case rather than as a factor influencing the judgement. We contacted Mr Short to confirm whether he felt this statement had impacted on the judgement, but we were told he is not making any comments about the case. The fact that the Metro's headline claimed the women were freed simply because they were 'not used to being drunk' is an inaccurate reflection of the case. Within the body of the article it did refer to this statement as part of the mitigation. Whilst the other two papers did not report the case inaccurately, the implication that the mitigation directly led to a reduced sentence edges the articles towards a false representation of the case, as reported by the Leicester Mercury. Conclusion While most of the papers did accurately report the events of the case, the prominence given to a small detail of the case creates a misleading interpretation of why the women received lesser sentences. In reality, the article in the Mercury endorsed by the Judicial Office implies this was actually because of unreasonable force exerted by the victim's boyfriend on to the attackers. It may be that this handling of the story reflects inexperience in reporting legal issues on the part of the journalists concerned. Lawyers and academics have warned about such effects from the decline in court reporting. Since the papers state the Judge reached his decision 'after' hearing the mitigation about alcohol use, rather than 'because' of it, they are not directly reporting it incorrectly. However, it is important to make sure that this nuance is not lost in future reporting of the case, much like the Metro's headline.

I'm humbled by your nominations, thanks walaaloyaal but as LST said I've been there and bought the camel printed tee and I'm also wrestling hawlo kale plus motherhood. Keep me in your ducas, eh? Abu Salmaan has an easy intellectual wadaad aura about him. I second. And would also suggest Malika, though I expect that she'll decline.

Whatever the case. Allah will judge you on your individual actions and deeds irrespective of your gender, don't lose the wood for the trees, ppl..

Better kiss the win good bye, ay Alpha. Garnaqsi, run with that tenner and get us some tea, yeah.. hehehehe

Gabilay dominated that game though.. never mind. BTW.. I love the Somali mixed with English and Arabic commentary on HCTV. :D

My bad, I'm half asleep. It's a bit long innit?

Shouldn't Nuune be crowned now?

If there's a country that I genuinely envy.....

Aww. Ha ooyin, huuno..

LOL. Are we surprised, really? Sadly, it will only get worse as poverty increases and less ppl have access to education. Yes there are more immigrants in Britian but so are the number of British Expats (1 in 10) leaving good all Blighty for greener / sunnier / happier countries... My fav. comment on yt.. it annoys me when people say 'go back to where you came from' please educate yourself, your vodka is russian, your pizza is italian, your kebab is turkish, your democracy is greek, your coffee is brazilian, your movies are american, your tea is sri lankan, your shirt is african and indian, your oil is saudi arabian, your car is japanese, your electronics are chinese, your numbers are arabic, your letters are latin, and you complain that your neighbour is an imigrant??? snm ibbyelattar
