Some Time Later... Actually on second thoughts I think this problem with Africa is much more serious then we thought. My change of heart is attributed to this article alone. BBC: DR CONGO REERECTS STATUE OF COLONIAL KING :confused: :rolleyes:

Education is the key to success and right now that is something seriously lacking throughout the whole of Africa.

Havent come across that show though I hear quite alot about it. But in the meantime im quite happy with my Futurama and Family Guy episodes

Yes we have discussed this woman ad nauseaum.( I know im not helping with this post) Qac Qaac I think with clincal tests we can probably conclude that the poison she drank is probally a serious mixture of Ignorance and ********* with a hint of gullabilty and lunacy for good measure.

I was just about to post a lil defence of AJ who I thought was treated unfairly but now the whole thread has disintegrated into complete nonsence with threats of virtual arm wrestles :rolleyes: So I guess I will leave the guys to their business.

Any community that holds up pimps as icons have some serious identity issues that need to be resolved... IMMEDIATLY!!!

that dude can be hell funny at times

Eid Mubarak to all. Nothing like a nice Eid BBQ in the Aussie summer and lucky for us we are all still in our holidays :cool:

You scored a 50% on the "How Somalian are you?" Quizie! These questions were biased against me but I guess many others got the same score so I will leave it at that.

Zu u sure its in Australia. We just got Qabyo 2 downunder at the end of last year.Im guessing that a copy should be available after the Commonwealth Games some time. :confused:

Something that really makes my blood boil :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: AID BY MUSLIM GOVERNMENTS BAHRAIN $2.6m BRUNEI (remember the sultan was the richest man in the world at one point) $0m KUWAIT 12.9m LIBYA $2.6m SAUDI ARABIA $12.9m TURKEY $1.6m UAE $25.68m this was from an initial 2.6 million Much respect to Qatar who came out initially with $32.2m ....one thinks they shamed their neighbouring states into a higher pledge. another on the list is Iran $0mbut considering the people of Bam still live in camps today i might be a little leniant...sad still considering even Mozambique contributed the little they could. If this is the state of the Muslim ummah today it is a sad and sorry situation it reminds me of something Rakiya Omaar had said when she was criticising the gulf states for their abysmal contribution during the famine in Somalia. That it appears as if these states only react when there is some sort of politcal football in the west involved.

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: U all might be intrigued by this fellow but all Im trying to figure out is why he replies to his own posts????? Might I add that all of u are coming with some very good comebacks. The above post being a perfect example

First of all Welcome to the SOL family Element 6. I'd say lets invent a digital transport device - you know the sh*t that they use in Star Wars or something. [/qb] easier said then done.

^^^^^Not neccesarily. In Australia the public is still wants an apology by our Prime Minister to the Aboriginal People. Many see it as an integral step towards reconciliation. The word SORRY has become so politicised that is now regarded as the reconcilation slogan. Just my two cents.

Word--------------- Meaning--------------- Mentioned in the Quran Al-Dunya This World 115(times) Al-Akhira The Here After 115 Al-Mala'ikah Angles 88 Al-Shayateen Satan 88 Al-Hayat Life 145 Al-Maout Death 145 Al-Rajul Man 24 Al-Mar'ha Women 24 Al-Shahr Month 12 Al-Yahom Day 365 Al-bahar Sea 32 Al-bar Land 13 If we add up the total words of both "sea" and "land" we get 45. Now if we do a simple calculation: 32/45 X 100% = 71.11111111% 13/45 X 100% = 28.88888888% Above is what we know today, the percentages of Water (Sea) and Land in the world. Yet another miracle in the Quran.

Hmmm. For some reason i am leaning towards Speedy Gonzales ahh soo cute. Characteristics Impetuous, good natured, quick on his feet Motto: Arriba!

NFD is somali full stop and if u look at the map u will also notice that the whole so called Horn Of Africa Region Is 100% Somali.

Terrible situation. But not suprising and to think two of my uncles fought to reclaim that land in 1977 alhamdulilah they both returned safely. But just thinking of all those who died trying to reclaim what was rightfully ours makes my blood boil :mad: . The pitiful situation we somalis are in there in region 5 and NFD not to mention in Somalia proper has been going on way too long. Unfortunately I dont see anyone doing anything about it. At this rate we (particularly those of region 5) will be the next Palestine. God Forbid

Not sure if this was up already but thought it was an interesting article. JEDDAH, 23 February 2004 - Over 14,000 Britons have embraced Islam, according to the UK's Sunday Times. Citing the first authoritative study of the phenomenon, the paper said that they had done so because of disillusionment with Western values, Some of Britain's top landowners, celebrities and the offspring of senior Establishment figures have embraced Islam. The trend is being encouraged by Muslim leaders who are convinced that the conversion of prominent figures will help protect a community stigmatized by terrorism and fundamentalism. Zaki Badawi, chairman of the Imams and Mosques Council, said: "The community has been unfairly targeted and these developments encourage it in a time of difficulty." Meanwhile, the Muslim Council of Britain has co-opted Joe Ahmed-Dobson, son of Frank Dobson, the former Labor health secretary, to chair its regeneration committee. The study by Yahya (formerly Jonathan) Birt, son of Lord Birt, former director-general of the BBC, provides the first reliable data on the sensitive subject of the movement of Christians into Islam. He uses a breakdown of the latest census figures to conclude that there are now 14,200 white converts in Britain. Speaking publicly for the first time about his faith, Birt, whose doctorate at Oxford University is on young British Muslims, argued that an inspirational figure, similar to the American convert Malcolm X for Afro-Caribbeans, would first have to emerge if the next stage, a mass conversion among white Britons, were to happen. "You need great transitional figures to translate something alien (like Islam) into the vernacular," he said. "The image of Islam projected by political Islamic movements is not very attractive." Initially, Birt said, he had no coherent reasons for converting, but: "In the longer term, I think it was the overall profundity, balance, coherence and spirituality of the Muslim way of life which convinced me." The faith has made inroads into the Establishment. It emerged this weekend that the great-granddaughter of a British prime minister has converted. Emma Clark, whose ancestor, the Liberal Prime Minister Herbert Asquith, took Britain into the First World War, said: "We're all the rage; I hope it's not a passing fashion." Clark, who helped design an Islamic garden for the Prince of Wales at Highgrove, his Gloucestershire home, is now helping create a similar garden for a mosque in Woking, Surrey, on the site of a car park. Many converts have been inspired by the writings of Charles Le Gai Eaton, a former Foreign Office diplomat. Eaton, author of 'Islam and the Destiny of Man,' said: "I have received letters from people who are put off by the wishy-washy standards of contemporary Christianity and they are looking for a religion which does not compromise too much with the modern world." Others have come to Islam through love or marriage. Kristiane Backer, a former friend of the cricketer Imran Khan, said she was introduced to the religion by him. She had shrunk from speaking publicly about Islam before because of fears it might affect her work prospects. Some prominent converts are even more wary. The Earl of Yarborough, 40, who owns a 28,000-acre estate in Lincolnshire, declined to discuss anything about his faith. "I have nothing to say to you," said Yarborough, who has apparently taken the name Abdul Mateen. Muslim leaders are harnessing modern campaigning methods to promote their faith. Groups have sprung up on the Internet publishing "trophy lists" of white converts. The state-funded school in London established by Yusuf Islam, formerly the singer Cat Stevens, has turned to Premiership footballers to provide role models. Sources close to the school say converts including Nicolas Anelka, the Manchester City striker, and Omer "Freddie" Kanoute, of Tottenham Hotspur, have made visits. Fresh evidence came this weekend that Islam has received formal acceptance at the heart of the Establishment. The Queen has approved arrangements to allow Muslim staff at Buckingham Palace time off to attend Friday prayers at a mosque: a member of staff in the finance department is the first to take advantage of it.

True that... didnt occur to me at the time.

I think it would be a real shame if we just allowed that dress to disappear of the face of the planet. Judging from a few weddings ive been to though, Diraacs have become the new national dress leaving that dress as the popular wedding gown of choice. Ill still be looking for one though.. Even if i don't have a chance to wear it.
