^Your observations won't make stereotypes of certain people factual and truthful. The difference between you and her is that she is a public figure and that comes with some sort of responsibility. She can't resort to hateful offensive garbage and make the public deem factual, especially people who might have little interaction with Somali people and their culture. I am not saying there is no room for improvement. I am questioning her intended goal of spreading racist stereotypes. Is this a way to get back at the community for rejecting her sexuality?

Apophis: As I said these are offensive racist stereotypes. If it were coming from a non-somali, most people [including you] would find it offensive and a racist garbage. No different than saying nothing good about madoow except committing crimes and mooch on government caawimo. Plain and simple. The little I read about her, she doesn't come across as bright and sophisticated as you see her. Exploiting the shortcomings of some in the community and the cultural differences as a ploy to get to fame and milk the system isn't success, not to me. Calooshiis u shaqeyste aan damiir laheyn baa waxaas ku dhaqma. This ain't about her sexuality but her views which you highlighted as truth.

What are you on about? Imams being a little creative with the informant. LOL@the preface read before Khutba intended for informant in the room, we know you are here for your own reasons but we hope you benefit from the khutba and grow spiritually. What a bad joke.

He's so luck they exonerated him after 15 months. Not many people get that kind of luck.

471: The Convert AUG 10, 2012 In 2006, a new convert showed up at a mosque in Orange County, California, eager to study the Koran and make new friends. But when he started acting odd and saying strange things, those friends got suspicious. To them, he was Farouk al-Aziz. But his real name was Craig Monteilh, and he was working undercover for the FBI. Launch player for the podcast "The Convert" Update AUG 16, 2012 This week’s episode, "The Convert," was about FBI informant Craig Monteilh, who went undercover in southern California’s Muslim community to try to find people who were recruiting and training terrorists. Craig’s operation, which took place in 2006 and 2007, was called Operation Flex. On Tuesday, a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit that was filed against the FBI as a result of Operation Flex. Several people Craig spied on — including Yasser AbdelRahim, who was featured in our episode — sued the Bureau, claiming it had violated their first amendment rights during Operation Flex by targeting them because of their religious beliefs, and that they’d been subjected to searches and monitoring without a warrant. In response, the government asserted the state secrets privilege, arguing that the suit shouldn’t be allowed to move forward because it would force the FBI to reveal classified information and would put national security at risk. U.S. District Judge Cormac Carney sided with the government. After reviewing confidential statements from top FBI officials, Carney wrote in his decision that allowing the suit to proceed could "significantly compromise national security." It was a difficult decision, according to Carney. He compared himself to an ancient Greek hero: In struggling with this conflict, the Court is reminded of the classic dilemma of Odysseus, who faced the challenge of navigating his ship through a dangerous passage, flanked by a voracious six-headed monster, on the one side, and a deadly whirlpool, on the other. Odysseus opted to pass by the monster and risk a few of his individual sailors, rather than hazard the loss of his entire ship to the sucking whirlpool. Similarly, the proper application of the state secrets privilege may unfortunately mean the sacrifice of individual liberties for the sake of national security. We reached out to the American Civil Liberties Union, the ACLU, and the Council on American Islamic Relations, CAIR, who are representing the people Craig spied on. Peter Bibring, an attorney at the ACLU, sent us this statement: As troubling as we find the implications that it might be okay to feed the Muslim community to a monster, it's a mistake to think that closing courts to claims of religious discrimination in the name of national security affects only the few who bring those cases. The government that refuses to let courts determine whether it has violated our most basic Constitutional values because the whole matter is supposedly secret steers our nation into much more dangerous waters. It's wrongheaded, in the name of defending freedom, to give up its hallmarks, including the basic balance of powers our founders so carefully set. The judge’s dismissal means that the case against the FBI cannot move forward. But the plaintiffs are also suing individual FBI agents who were involved in Operation Flex, and Carney did allow certain charges against them to stand. Bibring said the ACLU and CAIR plan to appeal the judge’s decision.

Apophis;860387 wrote: I wasn't saying you do these things personally, I was speaking of the general prevailing attitudes of the community. I've never been to Norway but I've seen most things on the list right here in London (in fact the problem is worse here than Norway). Somalis don't want to integrate in fear of losing their religion and culture. Highly true. Somalis despise and fear Norwegians, who are seen as untrustworthy infidels and whores. Replace Norwegian with any other nationality and it would be true. Violence is common everyday. The father hit the mother, and the mother hit the children. If it wasn't illegal they'll be doing it in the streets. Somalis "divorce" on paper only to gain public economical support for single mothers. Highly common but even better, don't declare the marriage at all and just live as boyfriend/girlfriend (yet attend the mosque 5 times a day). Somali organisations work against integration internally, but presents itself to work for integration externally. Again, common (shout integration when you want funding). Somalis aren't interested in their children, but give birth to many to gain the most possible social security payments. A sad fact. Many support female genital cutting, even though they say otherwise externally True among older generation. Apophis: All that you're trying to prove as truths are nothing more than typical stereotypes. If she is trying to change the world through negative stereotypes, more power to her. Ilaah baa leh hanuunka.

SOL is so good Siilaanyo is following it.

Can this fella speak on his mind when it comes to Kenyan troops crossing the border illegally and air bombing civilians. It's all politics sxb. Azania blockage by Meles has something to do with this reaction methinks.

Apophis: This kid is confused. He thinks bimilaah is the shahada :D Waryee what's on my avator is not the shahada.

^he knows him from the internet, wikipedia to be exact

Conqueror: The reason I asked is you come across as a fake pro Meles inserting himself as a concerned Muslim of the death of fellow Muslim. That was a fake attempt to silence Meles victims on your part. Do you even know what diinta says about cursing daalimiinta? I didn't think so. You are not here to lecture us who Meles was or what he did in his time in power? Are you? Save it for later wayree. Back to the topic: When are the Meles subordinates in Muqdisho gonna cry Meles death on the airwaves? Any news conference out of Muqdisho?

lol@Che. He'll come back to say he felt it in his heart. Did Milosevic also said the Shahada in secret on his deathbed? Answer my earlier question waryee dee? Who are you?

A likely scenario for Ethiopia may be succession.

Conqueror: ^How about this, you tell us who you really are? Meles doorkno.b? It's too early to tell whatever change positive or not that would come of this leadership change in Ethiopia. Plus Meles was no Najashi so save this garbage to yourself and continue the habaar all day long.
