The-freeman;847754 wrote: Only the monkey part is inaccurate Think of porch monkey as one word. Porch monkey is a derogatory term for an African-American. It comes from the negative and unfair stereotype that these individuals sit on their porches all day doing nothing of value.

Where I've grew up, African Americans will surely knock a Somali to the pavement for even uttering the word. I've literally caused a riot in my deep dark past for calling an African American a mentally shackled porch monkey cotton picking nigger. Meh, least I was telling the truth.

I could really give two hoots about this to be quite frank with y'all. How should I say this...as Muslims, we are to direct our prayers, forgiveness, etc. to none but Allah SWT. These shrines re-direct that main connection to Allah into a two-way path. They claim that their saints hear their supplications and intercede on their behalf. If you're very much familiar with the basic building blocks of Islam, that's full blown bid'ah (innovation) and shirk (polytheism, association of others with Allah). And with that said, destroy on!

Doesn't change the fact that that history took place in a leading country that is to be mirrored off of. P.S. The 13th Amendment to the Constitution abolishing slavery in the United States was passed in Jan 31, 1865. You and I can attest to the very fact that it was not only limited to those early settlers (who happened to arrive in the early 1600ish ).

Perhaps if you carefully took a gander at my post before you were too quick to reply, you'd noticed that I wasn't the one who brought up the United States. I was simply replying to a member's comment. Secondly, I only speak of what I know and what I've experienced considering the fact that I am an American. So South Korea and Sweden would totally be off my radar . But I'm pretty darn sure they've had their rough patch of history as well. Blackflash;837983 wrote: Islam is already predominant in Somalia, what makes you think sharia law in a destitute nation would fix its social issues? Islam is professed by the majority in Somalia. Professing and putting its teachings into practice are two totally different things especially when it has to come from a level of power. If Islam was the solution to a people who's social condition was similar if not worse than ours 1400+ years ago, I'm sure it is the solution for us today. One of the many ingredients missing to bringing this into play is honest and faithful leaders who want to look out for the good of Somalia as a whole rather than their tribal constituencies.

Raamsade;836985 wrote: Christianity doesn't determine or write America law secular, elected leaders do. You've got to be kidding me. Those so called elected leaders happen to be geared and influenced by their Christian upbringing. Are you not familiar with the history of the surrounding areas of the Bible Belt? Especially one that has tainted the history of this very land I call home. Shall I connect the dots for you or would you rather live in your rose colored glasses? The development of the worse slavery in the world was introduced, pushed and backed by European American Christians in the name of Christianity. So do please spare me for waxad dhihi rabtid. Islam is the only solution for Somalia.

Eerm, there is no other version of Islam that will ever set shore that is better or even equivalent to the Islam Prophet Muhammad SCW finalized 1400+ years ago . So to reply to that, you have every right to deny such blasphemy.

Why does it always have to be that Arabs influenced us with their culture and ways of living. Can it ever be the other way around. I'm sure if we were to go as far back as we can possibly go, Somalis have influenced Arabs. Mind you, I'm not a big fan of Arabs for personal reasons but I really dislike when our people point their fingers at others for their own demise. Remember, you might be pointing a finger at someone but there's three pointing right back at you.

Sorry when I see these colors I can't help but think of Mexico. Plus what's with Somalis having the star face down? I've seen even the US make the mistake and Kuwait as well, especially with the recent visit where they were displaying our glorious flag UPSIDE DOWN . Irks the hell out of me! FYI upside down flag = signal of dire distress

Okay. Hardy-har-har NOT! I can take a dry joke and I surely do have a funny bone but I'll have to agree with the other members here. None of what that niglet said is the least bit funny. Agreed. We do fight/battle in sworms but brotherman needs to work on his delivery. Meh.

Hopefully I can find a member or two who've read the series and are watching the episodes on HBO. If so, does the whole plot of kingdoms detaching themselves from the union of kingdoms and the idea of each leader declaring rights to the iron throne remind you a lot of the problems facing Somalia? In our case, we'll just call our future series Game of Kursi.

I don't understand why non-believers such as yourself Garnaqsi aad isku mashqulisin those who choose (keyword here) to believe. To each their own right?

I'm all for traditions but when it contradicts any weight of sense, I'd rather dispose of it. How is a man going to simply turn away from his current wife, who in my opinion has far greater right than his brothers' widowed wives, just to simply care and maintain for them? You can sure hell do that outside of marriage. Uh-uh. That is beyond me. Not to mention the awkwardness and confusion of the children they'll have o_O. Cousin? Sibling? Good Lord have mercy on my soul! No thank you!

Anyone ever tried ceviche?

I've noticed many Somalis are very hesitant in trying foods from other cultures especially foods from Far East Asian cultures. What have you tried that is deemed "weird" in the Somali culture that you've actually liked? As for me, I enjoy Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese, Korean and Cambodian foods...among others. And as for "weird", it has to be a tie between having ox tail and raw living octopus tentacles. What about you?
