it is sad to hear most of these stories, most of those practises like Sati,"widow burning" and foot binding are now banned,and abolished , but the FGM is very common in our country. The only thing we can do now is make sure this does not happen to our kids,and insha alllah one day it will be something in the past. So please STOP whinnig ,and get over it,we too are victims, since we end up a sexless marriage.

i heard abt Sati,but not foot binding,subxanaalah,aduunyadan wax walba waa ka dhacaan, a woman can be "opened" and "closed" again. acuudu bilaah,ma ilbaabbaa ? :eek:

,,so that is why u spend ages in bathroom,lol

Check the following link with complete cultural profile: Somalia Cultural profile Somalia cultural profile in PDF Hinth: those wish can print the pdf version and educate the young ones abt the culture.

this thread is very valuable, the history of somalis are still not clear, the last regime did not did spent much time to rediscover the roots of somalis,some say we are have a link with the arabs, but i believe that was merely to justtify the membership,and somalis have thier own history dated back thousands of years. It is matter of time profing by digging into the past. With honest archaeologist,Insha allah many of u will be surprised with new history of somalia.

Kixkixkixkixkixkixkixkixkixkix,,,,lol ,very good one

FF,i have noticed that too,and in last Eid prayer,one of the spokesman of the mosque,an arab, took the mic after the salat, before the sermon,and said "stop making noise and be quite ,specially SOMALI WOMEN",most somalis were angry with him for pciking somalis,but again it was obvious where the noise was comig from. ,how embrassing!! Mostly Somali kids are really pain in the azz,behaving badly and my advide would be not to bring them at all, sending them to men's section won't help,,DISCIPLINE STARTS AT HOME.. i have observed closely families who came with well disciplined kids among somalis,and also other communities. i asked one somai guy,whose kids were behaving gently, how did u do this? he told me at home,while he is performing his daily prayers, he makes his kids,age 3-8,pray with him, thus they know exactly what to do at mosque. wasalaam Farxan

War nagta waalan iskaga har,ogowna hadaad isku daydid inaad ninka ka qaadid,adigana hadhow mid baa kaa qaadi ee u diyaar garoow.What goes around, comes around!

What would lead a man to kill his own daughter? and committ such horrible acts? it is the culture,i remeber one time there ws a big fight among somali and arab communites, it all started when a somali teenage boy had a normal talk with an Iraqi girl, then the father caught him,and beat the boy,and said "i will kill him". And abt my comment,what sort of dignity left if one's daughter/sister turns into whore? Many of u one read this news from western media intended to defame Muslims, there is more to this story! Alla-Ubaahane, Nin yahow nacasnimadii baa kaa badatay,NIN wayn oo ikhyaar ah baan ku haystay,maxaa kaa khaldan saxiib? Hadalku ma sidii saxarada buu kuu qabtaa?
