Even though I droped in to check on some friends I had to comment on this issue. First of all it is not the average Somalilander who bears the responsibility for whichever actions his government takes, it is rather president Kahin's poor judement. We as Somalilanders have an obligation towards those whom we share with common language and blood. Somalinimo a side, we also assume a human obligation to assist the less foutunate amongst us. This ill-advised decision taken by the government with no thorough consideration will only damage Somaliland's overall good reputation. Shame on the government not the peace loving :cool: people of Somaliland.

I remember him as a child, H.E. visited our home , occasionaly, back then he was the Ambassador to the UAE. Early 80s before he left the diplomatic service to join the SNM movement. Indeed, this fine, human being will truly be missed just like his late brother, father of education Mahmud Ahmed Ali.. So long Tuur.

Ilaahay Ha U Naxariisto CabdiRaxmaan Axmed Ali, Janadana Ha Ka Wraabiyo. I remember when H.E.

Soul-Lady A very good attempt to divert our attention from the consistant dagaal we find ourselves in. Baydan made a very good point,the 5am laxoox must be on top of the list lol!.Just kiddin lol I would say,when she comes over and hagaajis my place,washes my dirty dhar and iron 'em,but above all whenever she bakes this unusal cake exclusively 4 moi.Okay,okay I'll stop now b4 I start crying

Divorce and Feminism go hand in hand!

Ameen Yaa Rab Al-Caalamiin

CommonNoneSense,Nop aint expecting u to attack a fly on the wall,but would love to know how u came up with all of these intelligent discoveries about me,my future-wife and my obsession with coffee(knowing am a tea-preson)and the donuts I don't even eat!?? R u Miss.Cleo by any chance?.. u know? the Jamaican psychic on TV??

This thread is an insult to our brains,not too long ago there was a similar thread.

I remember Marvin Gaye when he use 2 sing 4 me..He had me thinking that black was the thing 2 b!? It use 2 b black-n-proud nowadays it's black-n-blond lol.It's enough that we r burdened with all of these madow girls trying to b blond with blue eyes,now.This ugly habit is taking it's tol on the Somali community,what would ur ayeeyo think when she sees u wearing it?.The poor woman would probably think u've lost ur head along with ur hair!...Wahtever happened 2 our once Timo Dheer dumar??! Sista,just don't wear ur wig during daytime or else we'll have the Labis-Police give u a $800 ticket for traffic-hazards and disturbing the peace!

Would it help if I said am a ex-londoner myself?

Brother Yacquub no harm done bro,I was just shocked when u accused me of defying the words of Al-Jabaar,I can take any form of criticism but not that kind. U also failed to enlighten me with the Suura or Aaya in the Quran which tolerates or encourages bringging more children to the world when Muslim children around the world(that includes Somalia too) have nothing to eat or a place to sleep. I don't think it's fair for u and ur wife to have a ton of caruur when others r straving! As for when I wrote"if it was the will of ALLAH".Brother,do educate me and tell me what's wrong with it??? I'm not poking fun at wadaadada or (hating) on them,I simply tell it like it is,these good for nothing big-belly sheikhs r the ones who bring shame to Islam,lets examine Somali wadaads. Oneday on my way out of Salaat Al-Juma I saw a gathering of the so-called local wadaads in my area,one of them stopped me and started lecturing me about wearing a long pants and having a long hair(that was a while ago when I use to grow my hair long) and boy oh boy that guy he just wouldn't stop blabbering about my hair and pants.I mean I just came out of the mosque praying with the rest,but not having my pants short and having long hair was it for the wadaad!! I listened and listened as he went on and on and on about Al-Tashabuh Bil Kufaar he almost labeled me as a kaafir! Do u know what's the Xukum in Islam for someone who calles another Kaafir? or Takfiir for that matter? "Man Qaala Li Muslimin Kaafir Fa Huwa Kaafir" if u call a fellow Muslim Kaafir u become a kaafir yourself. And about the hair thing,most of these wadaads with their limited knowledge about Islam don't know that most of the Saxaaba Rithwaanu Alaahi Calyhim(including the Rasuul CSW) wore their hair to their shoulders. What do these wadaads do for Islam or to spread the words of ALLAH???? A big fat nothing I tell ya,they just sit on their fat asses in a air-conditioned mosque and preach about Jihaad!..Why don't they go for Jihaad and then expect us to join them?... If u ask me all they r good at is,eating food,filling up their big calools,and spending their nights chewing qaat or reading Quraan for the dead or the new-born at a rate of at least a $100,since when did reading Quran for Muslims became a job? Yacquub,I believe in in strong Islamic values and ur wadaad friends r very far from it since hair and pants and beard r their main concern. Have a nice day.

Why do I find myself in total agreement with the opposite sex on this issue??!! Very weird indeed!? You all r right about onething,times have changed and youngwomen seem to be more enlightened and self-reliant nowadays,perhaps I exaggerated a little? Oh well,the generationX Canbarooz might be different,one needs to test the waters before swimming and that is exactly where am going with this topic. Don't get carried away and be defensive,explain yourselves like Hibo,Indho and Ameenah did.

Yacquub, Where did I go against the words of ALLAH??!.Brother please u r the perfect example of a long-bearded short-sighted wadaads we see way too many of them running around in the Somali communities everywhere,I know ur type very well,u can't read the holy Quran, have very little knowledge about our beautiful religion yet so quick to pass judments on anyone who doesn't see things from ur narrow-minded prespective! You seef laboods r something else.Yacquub I have memorised the Quran(unlike 99% of u new-born-wadaads) read Hadiiths and memorised them too,Riyaath Al-Saalixiin from cover to cover ,spent 12 years through the scholl system of an Islamic state and was taught by knowledgable group of ppl. In short,I know the Diin inside out bro,unlike u and the rest of u guys-n- short pants when it comes to Islam I don't claim to be the knower of everything. Now,where have I contradicted myself??? Seef Labood Yacquub,only if u stop for a second and re-read my post? u'll find out that am actually not questioning the will of ALLAH Subxaanahu Wa Tacaalaa. Ignorants like u give the Islam a bad name. Barwaaqo Thanx walaalo I wish u the same only a mother.

I presonally would prefer a woman who can't have children!!.This way u save alot on birth-control pills and condoms...And honestly speaking who wants to bring yet another innocent child to this god-forsaken,polluted& over-populated-planet of ours???? I sometimes ask myself if I really want to have children,why should I?.Some say because it's ALLAH's wish,then I'll demand they bring me the phrase in Al-Quran Al-Kariim that says it loud&clear we should have our own children,and on the other hand If it was ALLAH's wish for every one of us to have his/her child how come some of us can't have children??! It's more of human greed and selfishness(the everyone else is doing it why not me mentality). Even if she is so crazy about children,why not adopt one??.There're already millions of poor kids who need a helping hand,instead of making one take this one in and teach him or her as u wish. Beside,can u imagine having sex without the stress generated from if she'll get pregnant oneday,just the thought itself is so sweet and unbelievable!
