Hijabiis have needs...

watching that programme - and the Story of baby P - i feel nauseatingly sick to the bone. is it wrong for me to think there is an element of thruth in the claims that SOME africans (non muslims) are defined as half human (by the white people - who enslaved them) and the white people were defined as the Devils (by the rest of the non white people) - because looking these and many other horrors that either came from west africa and western europe (V.Cliampia Case & girl in Austria raped by her father for over 20 years) - it makes you think whether these people are really a human beings or devils in disguise. Drama drama drama.... Lily- in a seksi outfit? morning beoble. 9hrs to go.

COLLECTIVE CUTS: Circumcision-By-Bulk in the Balkans In the southern Balkans, a small Muslim ethnic group maintains its collective identity by means of mass circumcision. Once every five years, villagers gather to ordain their boys. And to party for four straight days. The southern Balkans region is notorious for its history of vicious ethnic bloodletting. But it's also home to one ethnic group that has traditionally preferred bloodletting of a rather more peaceful sort.Indeed, when the former communist conglomerate of Yugoslavia crumbled over the course of the 1990s, the Gorani -- a small Muslim ethnic group scattered across present-day Serbia, Kosovo, Macedonia and Albania -- weren't among the groups clamoring for a nation-state to call their own. They just wanted enough freedom to maintain their cultural traditions. For those living in the mountain villages of Donje and Gornje Ljubinje in southern Kosovo that meant, above all, the quinntenial celebration of Sunet, the festival of mass circumcision. The modest circumstances of the Kosovar Gorani may not seem to justify celebration: the 3,000 residents are poor, even relative to their Albanian and Serb neighbors. But, the mass circumcision is a tradition that goes back centuries and locals feel it helps differentiate them from the myriad neighboring ethnic groups. "This is why we are not the same as the others, even when it does not help us," Arif Kurtishi, a member of the Gorani diaspora who returned to Donje Ljubinje last year from Sweden for the festival, told the AFP. At last year's Sunet, 130 boys from 10 months to five years -- some brought from abroad -- were circumcised by 70 year old Zylfikar Shishko, a barber from the nearby town of Prizren who has been performing the role for the last 45 years. "It has been so long, that I don't even know the number of boys I've circumcised in the Prizren area, maybe 15,000 or 20,000 or more," he said last year while making the rounds from home to home, likewise speaking to the AFP. No one can recount the origins of the festival, but some speculate it was intended, centuries ago, to serve as a cost-saving measure: wholesale, rather than retail, circumcision. The rates are still reasonable. For his efforts, Shishko charges around €10 for each operation, and he works pro bono for the poorest families. The procedure itself hasn't changed for centuries. To the sound of Muslim prayers, Shishko brandishes his instruments -- a scalpel, iodine and medical powder -- and applies them to each child. For the sake of tradition, the boys don't receive anesthetic -- Shishko is accompanied by two assistants who hold the boy down -- but they are compensated with presents and attention from the villagers. The to-be-circumcised are also the guests of honor at the three full days of festivities that precede and follow the incisions. These include a parade through the neighboring villages, oil wrestling, tug-of-war, stone throwing and live music from traditional five-man brass bands. When the festival comes to a close, the villagers return to their day-to-day hardships while the emigrants make their way to their new homes. In the coming five years, much is bound to change in Kosovo's political situation. But, the Goranis don't much involve themselves in the push-and-pull of governing outside their own villages. "Someone else, stronger and more powerful, will decide over the status of Kosovo," Shishko admits. Instead, the villagers have already noted the dates of the coming Sunet in 2012, and hope that Shikso stays healthy enough to attend. He has yet to find a successor.

Nuune- Gossiping again are we? One sunny day in January, 2009 an old man approached the White House from Across Pennsylvania Avenue, where he'd been sitting on a park bench. He spoke to the U.S. Marine standing guard and said,"I would like to go in and meet with President Bush." The Marine looked at the man and said, "Sir, Mr. Bush is no longer president and no longer resides here. "The old man said, "Okay", and walked away. The following day, the same man approached the White House and said to the same Marine,and said "I would like to go in and meet with President Bush." The Marine again told the man, "Sir, as I said yesterday, Mr. Bush is no longer president and no longer resides here."The man thanked him and, again, just walked away. The third day, the same man approached the White House and spoke to the very same U.S. Marine, saying "I would like to go in and meet with President Bush. "The Marine, understandably agitated at this point, looked at the man and said, "Sir, this is the third day in a row you have been here asking to speak to Mr. Bush. I've told you already that Mr. Bush is no longer the president and no longer resides here. Don't you understand?" The old man looked at the Marine and said,"Oh, I understand. I just love hearing it."The Marine snapped to attention, saluted, and said, "See you tomorrow, Sir."

Hello Che Kise ho tum?

Splendid when she is at a distance? Darn that shiny dirac and the colourful googarad that is sweeping the floor. :rolleyes:

MDD- your self employed what’s with the unhappiness?

Malika simply divine. Neme kula mishkake kama mwandazimu, neme punga hewa bagamoyo mpaka roho yangu imepumzika. Wewe una kwenda lini, na unkwenda zench ama? JB- at you dee.

:rolleyes: @JB Hello ppl

10min to go..

It’s so is 3 days straight nothing but rain. p.s Do tell what’s so good about it?

Rain rain rain....Bloodyhell

Here I knew it, MDD run while you can...

What is heero? do explain to non-northenrners It may influence on my choice of the next MrDD As far as I was informed it involves meat & material wrapping. I.e. the bride’s family wrap up the meat etc in a material really tightly and the grooms family attempt to open the blooming then. Its suppose to symbolise the woman virtue so I was told ( the quicker they open it the easier the girl/ vice versa) horrid practice if you ask me….but then again I could be wrong/someone lied to me. p.s old man you wound me.

Malika- so am i right? Heero is just disgusting

old man- Tossing the bride@ the matrimonial bed? Yes Ahh todobaad bax…all round fun, better than the wedding if you ask me.. p.s custom surrounding todobaad bax apparently dictates that; 1.) Bride +Groom should not be seen in public for 7 days. 2.) A family member will drop in occasionally to bring them food/clean the house for 7 days. 3.) You can kinda guess what their meant to do in those 7 days. 4.) they Bride has her todobaad bax where the women surround her with shaash… blessing of some sort is issued/ mess up her hair and proceed with some serious buranbuur session. * All this takes place @ the bride’s family home. Or did someone lie to me?
