If a girl is gonna cover up she should do it for the Almighty Allah. Not for other people, that is why Im personally against compulsory hijab in countries like the KSA and Iran.

Indeed we are put in a bad light in the West but we should know one thing, that no matter what Islamaphobes say all that matters is what WE do. If you are a genuine good person it should'nt matter what the racist bigots say. But the hard thing is to most people it matters.

Eventhough I don't like UBL that was not that funny

This is a LIE LIE LIE, come on guys do u take whatever you see on its face why dont you invstigate a little.I know of many Somali ambassadors who are good upstanding men who would never do what this person has uttered.

Im proud to say that pray 5 times a day, but i know of some people who dob't pray Fajer becuz they are sleeping or duhur becuz they're at work. So people do make excuses and sometimes pray everyday but not all the prayers.

I heard someone say that 95% of Muslims don't pray 5 times a day. So i thought this would make for a good poll. How many times per day do you pray? PS: Lets be honest you cannot hide from Allah.

I just saw the tape of the Danial Pearl murder on the web. It was the dumbest thing i ever did, im still in shock. They just cut his throat with a small knife. It was disgusting and horrible how could these peaple say they are fighting for muslims. What do you guys think

Im just CONFUSED

Many Somali women were raped and are being raped in Somalia with the civil war and all. Then there is the unsafe conditions in African hospitals. Once AIDS comes in the community it stays. But if we don't act shy, and promote sexual education in somalia and in the Somali community abroad we can tackle the problem before it starts to go out of hand. The last thing somalia wants is to have the kind of AIDS problems as Kenya.

to say these sites were disgusting would be an understatment. They are designed to go into your heart and foment hate for islam in the weak muslims. but inshallah, that will not happen, because the people who made thos sites are driven by unbrideled hate. And hate NEVER WINS.

lets not go over our heads here. I've heard many people say that the money from these companies goes straight to the IDF. But that is not true. Thses companies do bussnies in israel, which taxes them, then the tax money supports the IDF. So i thought i should clear things up a little bit.

Inhadeeq is right. Also the DOW has a Islamic portfolio. That means you get to trade in companies that don't deal with alchol, porn and or pork products.Its called the DOW Jones Islamic Market Index(DJIMI). Put all your investments in the DJIMI, and don't worry if its haram or not.

I would like to apologize to the arab ppl whom i called not so good things. At the same time i will maintian my believe that "many" arabs look down on us Africans, and Asian muslims. But that doesn't stop my feeling of friendship with the arab world.

The show you got the sound bite from is hosted by Art Bell. This guy is whack, among other things he has said that if one mediatates he/she can built a bubble shield to protect the the nation. This is the biggest lie, lets not be easily duped, check your sources first.

The poem "This house will not shake" is dedicated to the religion of Islam. I love my din a hundred times more after 9-11. What do u guys think of my poem

I trembled I shook But no matter what I stood I saw with horror The blood and the gore But this house will not shake I heard it with my ears My heart filled with tears They decieved and lied They hurled hatred every night And said we believed in no rights But no matter what this house will not shake Some in the inside broke windows and doors They tried to shake the foundation But to no avail They tried to make changes to the house Built walls between rooms So they won't hear their sisters cry They said the need not worry about the poor They they cared not for the weak Whatever changes they tried to make This house will NEVER shake They said the had a crusade But only against a few in the house At the same time they made no distinctions They attacked all both verbally and physically But you know what THIS HOUSE WILL NEVER SHAKE

Why are u nomads trying to reason with these Arab scum. I've always noticed how racist Arabs were. How stupid of them. The west is trying to crush these punks but then they pick fights with there Muslim African friends. The thing is that these Arabs, especially the hashamite arabs are racist agianst blacks and asians. But when the first white person comes around, they've got thier knee-pads ready to kiss white ASS. So miss Amina, why do Somalis have problems with you Arabs. Its beacuse you are liars, racist and hypocritical to name a few of your better traits.

I noticed that many Somalilanders are resentfull of us. You know the plain old borning Somalis. It let me to wonder. If i came to Somaliland to live and start a business would i be welcome. Or would I be thrown out as the outcast "Somali" who is not good enough to be a Somalilander. I mean I respect the Somalis of the north for maintaning peace, but are plain old Somalis, who are productive citizen welcome in Somaliland. PS: Whats in a Name? Why is Somaliland called Somaliland? This is the name that the white colonialist enslavers gave to N. Somalia. Come to think of it, N. Somalia would be a better name, but thats just the idea of one of those people, you know the Somalis from the dirty South.

Mohamed j, you talk of ppl being filled with "hate". Yet at the sametime you brance on to call people who are agianst the idea of seperated somalia "despicable". Hmm, lets see who is being hateful here?

I don't mean to offend anyone but to the people who think if Igal dies, democracy will prevail, all i have to say is ARE YOU GUYS LIVING IN LA LA LAND. Let's not forget this is Somalia, or Somaliland if you perfer. This is the land of civil wars and famine, everyone wants to be the President. Eventhough i do not agree with Somaliland seceding from Somalia, I don't more war to be visited on ANY Somali. and if a DICTATOR has to live inorder to ensure the safety of millions of Somalis, oops I mean Somalilanders, let the dictator live. PS. Southern Somalia is 100 times worse than Somaliland. But that doesn't mean Somaliland is a democracy for Allah's sake.

Aids is ripping through Africa in a way that even colonialism did not. So I wonder what percent of Somalis have AIDS. I know the answers are going to be that "we somalis are Muslim" and as such we don't have the same sexual practices as non-Muslim Africans. But how do you know? How do you know that your brother or Aunt or Uncle does NOT have AIDS. Especially in the West in which many Somalis have sexual activities contrary to the teaching of Islam. So my question is how does one know to what extant AIDS is hurting Somalis. Other African peoples know it and they are atleast trying to combat it.

So how come the religious establishment in Saudi Arabia of all places look the other way when members of the Royal family such as the "Custodian of the two Holy Mosques" sins? And why is it that religouis establishment of Saudi Arabia never charges any member of the royal family with the smallest crime? Are they closer to Allah than the average Muslim? I think not.

I keep hearing about the wahabis after 9/11. Thus i tried to do some research on them. I was sure to use only Muslims as my sources so as to not cloud my judgements by the burning hate of gaalo towards Muslims. My conclusion is that the Wahabi branch of Islam is 100% for the advancement of the Saudi Royal family's ideas. Sheik Wahab and and King Saud made a deal in the 1920's that the Sauds would control the power structure of Saudi Arabia, and the Wahabbi family would control the judicial. But the bottom line is that they would remain true to each other in order to insure their mutual grip on power. That is way the Wahabbi wadaads allowed for the stationing of non-muslim soliders in Arabia. That is why the Wahabbi family doesn't subject the Royal Saud family to the laws that are applicable to everyone else (espesecially immigrants)in Saudi Arabia. That is why I was told by former somali diplomats who know people in the utmost highest echelons of the Saudi government that King Fahd is an avid gambler and used to drink alchol, and the Wahabbi wadaads did not protest, so as not to harm there grip on power and derail there agenda of dominating Muslim thought. That is why when King Fahd leased his 100 million dollar jet to the "Backstreet Boys" the Wahabbi clergy did not protest. My somali brother and sisters lets not be duped by these selfish men who claim that they work for the good of Islam. They are looking to cover there butts, and advance there ideaology at the expense of other valid Muslim ideas of non-wahabbi, but nevertheless strongly pious Muslim Ulema. Asalaam

This is the usual somali myths. who the hell said he (P Diddy) is somali. his dad was a drug dealer in Harlem and his mom is African American to the fullest.
