^With all due respect, Suldaanka didn't really make any accusation and we could say that maybe even Nayruus was calling for such a thing, could we not?

Is dabonoqodkaan waa macnala'aan. As for Maxamed Dhere, ilaahay baa ina lehe runta aan isku sheegno. Ninka si xun baa loola dhaqmay, aalaba isagoo qolkiisa iyo sariirtiisa danta guud ee Soomaaliyeed u baneeye wax kala is ka dhaafe sow har cad lagama dhuuman? Walaalayaalow maxaa kaloo haray hadii ninkii dawlada sidaa ugu istaagay oo isku bah-dilay sidatan aan wada arkikarayno loola dhaqmay? Yaa kaloo hada dawlada so dhaweynikarayo mar hadii shaqsigii iyo maamulkii ugu horeeye soo dhaweeytinkeedii sidaa loola dhaqmay? Sow tusaale mayna noqon?

Again, Bosnians aren't my brothers by blood or even by nationality. Fine, honestly nobody cares. But get out of other people's grilz when they say Bosnians are their brothers. All about the attention folks, all about the attention.

As far as I am concerned Muqdisho has shucked off the influence of the warlords. Ilaahay ha garab galo wadaadada.

^You know something tells me it's easier for you to assert Wind is rer Gedo rather then face his message. Even though I did not expect that from you, you proved to me that Wind's message is rather "dangerous" to the front you display here. I will say this to you but once. I know Wind in real life and he is a close family friend. Wind's awoowayaal are true sons of Nugaal Valley and important members of Garowe society. I am most definetely not him and I have contacted Miskiin to put an end to this baseless and spineless accusation started by an individual deflecting a very similar accusation from his person.

How is it possible for God to be both All-Powerful and All-Good and still allow a world in which evil and suffering exist? This life is a test, that has never been hidden. It is how we deal with that test and our sure outcome that places us in our respective abodes in the afterlife. Samir iyo Iimaan bilaash kuma socoto.

His day of reckoning has come, let him pay for Srebrenica. Rahima- I think he has a hobby. His hobby is being an unwanted nuisance.

^You know you're a bigot, right? Well then please refrain from polluting the forum, because the forun is reaching that stage of transcending above qabyaalad.

Code- Let me second Ms. Lee and say mahadsanid too walaal. Alla ha u naxariisto. Ms. Lee- I think you are as confused about the "cartoon protests" as you imply the non-Muslims were. It had less today with the cartoons themselves as opposed to a small climax of the financial, social, economic repression Muslims have felt (over a while) under their inept, corrupt rulers and their western backers. Maandhey labadaa kala hubso, deetana ha isku qaldin mar kale.

^Speaking about emails, we have an email account dedicated to this. It's droughtrelief@hotmail.com, and if you would like to see some of the ADS (ours and the WFP's) and would, possibly, like to use them, feel free to email us.

Checkmate your heart is good sxb, but I guarantee you that you can make a difference by yourself. It is prudent to first take the initiative and then include others in the endeavor. You will never get anywhere soliciting support with people without first trying yourself. If it seems like I am speaking in tongues, let me explain. I set up a small non-profit student organization where I partnered with the World Food Programme. I chose the WFP chiefly because they seemed to be doing the most then anyone else in combating the drought and two because, while they are officialy a subsidiary of the United Nations, they largely rely on donations. In my dealings with them, we reached the agreement that the money will go directly to southern Somalia and specifically in two areas in Gedo region (Garbaharey and Beled-Xawo) and one in Bakool region (Huddur). I believe that, more then anywhere else, those three areas are taking the brunt of the drought. Some friends who are helping me and I have fundraised and are fundraising in the more wealthier areas of the greater Seattle metro area. So far the pledges are good if not moderate (we have recieved pledges reaching $43,000). The WFP has enlisted a staff member in our aid who is also responsible for the direct application of that money into those three areas we reached an agreement on. It is that simple sxb. It just takes bringing together a few dedicated individuals and seeking a small partnership with a humanitarian organization (that is benefical for both parties) to save lives. I applaud you for speaking out and sincerely seeking a solution though. p.s. I can guarantee on HIRDA's efficiency. Anything you donate there will completely go to the drought afflicted peoples of Somalia. I guarantee it.

^How old are you and how are you any different then Socod Badne?

^I hope you don't think anyone understood you? Some believe speaking (writting) abstract english is fashionable as of late.

^I do not think you have to explain anything sxb. However, I would caution you from stooping down to their level.

^His position is that, for a single subject he would accept the oral version whilst opposing the written version when in any established society the written version would be superior to that of the oral version! I told you, the young man has no idea what he is taking about and this latter opposition to the hadiith for ludicrious reasons is a ruse and cover-up from his earlier athiestic stand. He is polluting the forum, leave him be.

^Has someone studied Economy? What you are trying to explain is clear to any and all who choose to look at the complete picture, but as Somalis, the underlying thing is not economically sound initiatives as opposed to what makes us look good. It is what we do best!

The Sunnah was written some 150-200 years after the death of the prophet (scw). You didn't learn how to perform Salaat from the Sunnah... you learned it from someone who knew it who learned from someone else who knew how, that someone in turn learned from someone before him and so on... going all the way back to the first few muslims. Do you know what the Sunnah is :confused: North- I honestly do not think the young man knows what he is talking about.

^I really do not have time for your nonsense anymore. Northernor baa kaa raayay oo awoodaada ku tusay and you can best believe you will not get anymore responses from nomads now that you set a precedent for such nonsense.

You just babbling on and on without any thought process going into any of your arguments. You are infact going round in circles! Indeed. I had a haunch the nomad was not well versed in what he was uttering, but only after he utter his now famous handicapped analogy did I understand he was looking for anything to grasp on. It is either what prof says or what is written in his textbook. Cilmigiisa intaa ma dhaafto. Castro I think SB and JB baa ku dhaamo because they stand up for their principles and do not have to be hypocritical to stay mainstream. I would rather have them amongst our midst then the two faced. Kheyr It is a pleasure and an honor to be in the same categorization as you walaal. Continue on what you are doing and fight for that which you believe in. That is a duty as a Musim submitting to the will of Allah (SWT).

Salaam Nur, I am a reforming-dunyaholic. Islam has and is truly turning me around. More and more, I am not able to do anything without calling into question my religion and image (not literal) of Allah (SWT). More and more I find inner peace as a result of my religion and compelte submission to Allah (SWT). I am becoming statisfied as the aduunya looses hold of me.

Ka guuro.

^Castro, you do not need to take yourself away from the "group" to stay mainstream walaal. Are we without principle, also?
