Whatever they may be,I say keep it up.Cuz its refreshing to see the nomads keeping it within the family,Blackplanet is for people who share a common culture(hip-hop that is it)....The nomads should have their own place where they can hang freely,I fail to understand why most of the Somali-females are afraid to add their pics to this site,yet,find it so appropriate to be on the blackplanet,well,the blackplanet isn't all that,walaahi, before any of these Somalis started showing up I had my page up late 99,back then you wouldn't see a single Somali person if u search,nowadays, there're pages full of young Somalis who try to be something they aren't!?....Be proud of your history I say,these Afro-Americans r lost ppl,I feel sorry for'em,they have no culture this white-dominated-society have brainwashed'em into thinking that life is only about,music(indecent music),sex,and violence! Look around the blackplanet for further proof.By the way the "BP" itself is owned by a latino guy!........The "BET" is no longer a black-owned business. Its all about economics and money-making,ppl of all races use and abuse black ppl and later call'em the "N" word! Perhaps,we should help our own businesses before our sub-culture is washed away by other cultures in this melting-pot. Buy Somali food,Listen to Somali music(of course not all of the time),visit Somali sites,help your fellow brothers&sisters,instead of having Ja Rule's pic why not put up xasan adam's?!

Ever since 9/1/1 and some of my fellow wrokers are more and more interested in learning about Islam, demanding I teach'em(which is a good thing),but,I gave'em all the books I had concerning our faith except for the holy book"Quran".So I told'em am going to get enough Qurans from the local mosque,you'll ask whats wrong with doing that,here's where my problem is."They" want to go with me to the masaajid to see what a masjid looks like! I resisted,not knowing if its permitted to take a gaal person to ALLAH's house!...at the same time I didn't wanna send the wrong signal and demonstrate this "intolerant-Muslim" the U.S. media paints us muslims with. Shall I take "them",or shouldn't I take "them"??!.........Simply,what would you do if you were in my case??

#57 a slave running away from his master!!?? Isn't slavery xaraam to begin with?

Hibo,since u r providing the service free of charge,perhaps,I too should request a song?..yeah what the heck waa ciid. Xasan adam's latest"dajiyo" I stole it from my brother,played it in my baabuur and its off the xadhig!

Cat Stevens or Yusuf Islam is a great guy walaahay,I had the pleasure of meeting him at a Eid meeting which took place in Brent in 1996. As a multi-millionaire he could have spent the rest of his life in luxurious obscurity,except that his concern for humanitarian and charitable causes thrusted him back into the public spotlight.During the famine in Africa in 1984,he helped establish an international relief organization called Muslim Aid.In 1990 we saw him and a delegation of British Muslims visiting Iraq on a peace mission and returning with four hostages.With the advent of starting a family,he opened and funded the Islamia School in North London.Fifteen years later he made history by obtaining government fundings for underprivileged Muslim schools in Britain.Yusuf today donates over half his royalty income to charity.He has for over two decades concerned himself with education and fund raising for the plight of those much less fortunate;his efforts are mainly directed towards children and orphans.That is the big deal Unixguru. I recommend u buy one of his cds and listen to his amazing songs like "Lady D'Arbanville","wild world","hard headed woman",'where do the children play","the peace train" and many other inspritional songs of his.His musical style is unmatched.

Some men r worth killing for.

This has nothing to do with the topic,but,I remember reading somewhere that 21,000 rape cases were reported in South Africa this year alone! A two year old was obducted,raped and left in a field to die,another 8 month old girl was raped and later disposed off...And am thinking to myself"how sick!?".. Apparently,these fools did it due to them believing in the myth that having sex with virgins cures from Aids,Canser and other diseases lol.....allah caqli xumaa afrikaanko. Now,back to you MNBoy,just don't get carried away with that virgin obssesion of yours,nomad. Ramadaan Kariim

ever since John Ashcroft(the U.S. attorney general) started asking the question"How much freedom are the American people prepared to give up for security?" and I feel chills in my spines! I ponder,why fight for freedom if people are easily prepared to give it up,as soon as the federal government asks them to? And then I waited with the rest of the world for the concrete evidence linking Bin Laden to the sept.11 attack.the U.S. secretary of state Collin Powel have once said he'll make them public a day later his boss Bush refused to show the public these incriminating evidence,of course citing and using"national-security" as a cover and an excuse not to enlight the people. We wait,wait and wait while the U.S. rains bomb's on the poorest nation in the world,even messenger boy Tony Blair have admitted that whatever evidence they have are unlikely to stand and convict in a court. Again,Bush on Thursday night declared an "extraordinary emergency," president Bush announced he had issued a directive claiming the power to order military trials for suspected international terrorists and their collaboratos.That directive,which applies to non-U.S. citizens arrested here or abroad,allows him to make the higly unusual step of bypassing the nation's criminal justice system with itrules of"evidence" and constitutional guarantees. In addition,I remember reading in yesterday's paper that some of the top ranking senator's want Bin Laden dead? "kill him","shoot him.I mean it," Demaocrat Joseph Biden of Delaware chairman of the Senate's Foreign Relations Committee said. "the best thing is for Bin Laden to go down with the cause," said senator Chuck Hagel,R-Neb."he would save us alot of trouble."?! I wonder,why would men in such high places want a man in some cave in Afghanistan dead instead of bringing him to justice like Bush always seems to remind us?? make your own judgment people,and don't buy what the propaganda machine is pumping out!

I can't imagine a guy who arrested his own case is speaking of intelligence!! geeljire pleeeeeeease......how about a deal? u head to ur local mental health institution and I'll head to the library searching for a book on the infamous habarjeclo poet's?! and about me trying to score .....u dunno me buddy....unlike u I don't have the shape of an [L] on my forehead or feel the need to spend my whole day in a dark chatroom trying to seduce a 12 yrs old girl.....or better a single mother with half a dozen kids!.......naah I just put on my magical leather black jacket and my amazing brown pants and a dark shoe ..wear that unusual after shave and perfume....and......chicks come in handy...to the extent I sometimes can't keep up with the high demand.....if ya want a little some nac nac.....let the brother know...and I might divert some xalwo ur sorry way

The Protocols also discuss at great lengths loans,which it states"hang like a sword of Damocles over the heads of rulers,who instead of taking from their subjects by temporary tax,come begging with outstreched palm to our bankers." the World Band and the IMF}. Its chilling but I hope you enojy it.

my old history teacher Dr.Fowzi always mentioned these protocols in class......since I was big fan of history the protocols of the learned Elders of Zion also known as The protocols of the Wise Men of Zion never left my sight....considering this drumatic change the world is going thru I thought I might share it with my fellow nomads to help u understand how we live?who controls the world?who is behind these war's and so on........here is the first part (THE PROTOCOLS OF THE WISE MEN OF ZION) a list of procedures for world domination.this document may have wreaked more havoc than almost any other piece of literature in recent history. a version of the protocols first appeared in 1864 in France in a book entitled Dialogue in Hell Between Machiavelli and Montesquieu or the politics of Machiavelli in the Nineteenth Century by a Contemporary.it was written anonymously by a French lawyer named Maurice Joly and taken as a political satire against the Machiavelli-inspired machinations of NapoleonIII.Joly reportedly was a friend of Victor Hugo and both were members of the Order of the Rose-Croix or Rosicrucians,a secret society that may have influenced his writing.Joly's identity was discovered,and he received a fifteen-month prison sentence for his impertinence and his book was forgotten. in the mid 1890s Joly's obscure book was rewritten and augmented with anti-Semitic material on orders of the Russian Ochrana and was added to the work of a religious writer named Sergei Nilus and published to coincide with the founding of the first Zionist movement(seeking a return to palestine)at the 1897 world congress of Jewry in Basel,Switzerland.The Protocols were included as an appendix to Nilus's book,partially titled The Anti-Christ is Near at Hand. The document purported that a clique of Jews and Freemasons would join forces to create a one-wprld government by means of Liberalism and Socialism. The Protocols still chills readers with its prophetic description of the elitist outlooks of men like Cecil Rohdes and the Rothschilds."We are the chosen,we are the only true men.Our minds give off the true power of the spirit;the intelligence of the rest of the world is merely instinctive and animal.They can see,but they cannot forsee;their inventions merely corporeal.Does it not follow that nature herself has predestined us to dominate the whole world? stated the Protocols. "Outwardly,however,in our"official"utterances,we shall adopt an opposite procedure,and always do our best to appear honorable and cooperative.A statesman's words do not have to agree with is acts(in this case look no further than the Israeli prime minister).If we pursue these principles,the governments and the peoples which we have thus prepared will take our IOUs for cash.One day they will accept us as benefactors and saviors of the human race.If any State dared to resist us,it its neighbors make common cause with it against us(also,very true in many cases Germany,Iraq,etc,,) The protocols goes on to explain that goal of the world domination will be accomplished by controlling how the public thinks by controlling what they hear(thanks to the Jewish owned American media mission accomplished)by creating new conflicts or rstoring old orders,by spreading hunger,destitution and plague,by seducing and distracting the youth(again;thanks to MTV,BET,MUSIC&SEX)."By all these methods we shall so swear down the nations that they will be forced to offer us world domination"(the state of most Arab and Muslim nations as we speak).they proclaim. Its 24 Protocols A demeaning word for non-Jews,has been substituted with the term"masses"Pertinent points include: -The Protocol plan"will remain invisible until the moment when it has gained such strength that no cunning can any longer undermine it."9Protocol1) -"Wars,so far as possible,should not result in territorial gain."(protocol2) -"[The]minds[of the masses]must be diverted toward industry and trade.Thus,all the nations will be swallowed up in the the pursuit of gain and...will not take note of thei common foe."(Protocol4)(of all of the protocols this one is undeniable). -"We shall create an intensified centralization of government"(protocol5)...we must develop[a]Super-Government(pretty much the United States of America)by representing it as the protector and the Benefactor of all those who voluntraliy submit(one of the victims of this protocol is Sudia Arabia and other gulf states)....We shall soon begin to setablish huge monopolies..."(protocol6) -"The intensification of armaments,the increase of police forces...[so that]in all States of the world,besides ourselves,[there will be]only the masses of the proletariat,few millionairs devoted to our interests,police,and soldiers."(protocol7) -"We shall put[government power]in the hands of persons whose past and reputations are such that between them and the people lies an abyss,persons who,in case of disobedience to our instructions,must face criminal charges(it couldn't be more truer in third-world contries)...."(protocol8). "We have fooled,bemused and corrupted the youth of the [masses]by rearing them in principles and theories which are known to us to be false(drinking,dancing,doing-drugs,gays&lesbian movements,sex....etc,r only few to mention).."We shall distroy among the[masses]the importance of the family and its educational value(my ALLAH,look at the way in which Somali families r disintegrating,the divorce rate is sky-rocketing and single-mothers r acceptable,keep in mind kids who r reared by a single parent r more likely to commit crimes).."(protocol10). -"We have invented this whole policy and insinuated it into the minds of the[masses]...to obtain in a roundabout way what is ...unattainable by direct road.it is this which has served as the basis for our organization of secret masonary which is not known,and aims which are not even so much as suspected by,these....cattle,attracted by us into the'Show'army of Masonic Lodges in order to throw dust in the eyes of their fellows."(protocol11). -"What is the part played by the vapid,unjust,menadacious and the majority of the public have not the lightest idea what ends the press really serves.We shall saddle and bridle it with a tight curb...Not a single announcement will reach the public without our control......(again very true)"(protocol12). thats enought for the day.......I'll post the rest of the protocols later

how about halaween?

am afraid we've been a little too harsh on brother qawdhan.....am certain he means no harm......its just a pure humor... I think we ought to give him a chance to joke around with us withour being too serious.....Hibo r u trying to make fun of my birth place?

Lucia(with all due respect),r u buy any means trying to lure our dignified nomad-ladies into some of ur infamous prostitution rings in NY? seeing what've become of what once was a somali woman(am referring to IMAN )and many others who ended up doing drugs and partying like there is no tomorrow......they've truly disgraced every somali person on the face of this godforsaken planet!! what humanatirian project requieres sudanese,somali and eritrian girls??!! I'm highly suspecious of whatever it is u r upto.....it all begins as an innocent picture-taking and a bit by bit that poor girl takes her cloths off one by one..until there is nothing to take off....but as long the likes of muslim sister&NQ r well-informed of ur ill-intentions.I can sleep tight knowing that the cream of the crop isn't gonna be on the next coming playboy issue for the whole world to see! the message is loud and clear......OUR LADIES ARE NOT FOR SALE. may ALLAH save us from the shaytaan.

Hana1 I can see u've been paying too much attention to men-n-macawiis lol......but ....u know with all due respect to Islamic values I don't see why wearing a macawiis is sonsidered un-islamic?! pants show more than macawiis and so what if a sister goes out wearing a colorful diric?....its much better than wearing a mini skirt or a pair of jeans.......and for the record sisters wear the diric oudoors only on especial occasions I.e. aroosyada,xafladaha and its a blast to see'em walking around wearing the diric their mothers wore...why should they subsitute it for anything else is beyond my understanding!!......as long ay asturanyihiin its a well-known fact that somali women r safe around their men folks......maybe the arabic women and gaalada women need to cover up fearing for themselves but have u ever heard of a somali girl getting raped at a somali wedding?.....never ...ever...thats why our women walk freely and wear whatever the heck they feel like wearing(only around somali men duh lol)......boys will always be boys and girls will always be girls....

Nimco iyo MNkid am not mad at all..but some people need to be straightened out......I don't mind debating with my fellow nomads but what I dislike is certain people coming in here and starting wiht me for no reason!...maybe she wanted to gaind the acceptance of Steve Austan(the iron-man) I loved that character as a little boy back in the early 80's.. MNkid am not the gate-keeper bro....I love my people ........and I don't want them to be poisoned by clueless creatures.

maybe its about time I start shopping for a macawiis lol........my two fellow nomad sisters Fiaza iyo Hibo thank u for ur valuble inputs and keep wearing em diric's..cause no matter what they say they look magnificant.
