I'm grateful for everything that I have which others don't. and this MKA...

A lot of people lie about their age, and its not only among Somalis. I guess it all comes down to their self of esteem. However, in my case people find really hard to believe my age... here is an example of a frequent incident.. Lady @ the booth: "You Sir are too young to see this movie its Rated **" Me: #$#&* Where is my ID argh!! :mad:

[/QB] I always thought only Lazy women wear this . Seriously though whats wrong with wearing something like this, http://www.shukronline.com/womens.html which at least has some sort of style. Why do some of our women feel, by covering up means wearing a tent , I know it does the job, but lets be more creative. Sole purpose of wearing Hijab is not to avoid male attention, we are not beasts .. I'm sure most of us can deal with our urges,

^ Perhaps leave them all together and adopt a new one

I Think this only applies to Somali women, even men who are living in western world. The Somali Diet (bariis baasto and whatnot) doesn't really go well with the lifestyle here.

great story there sophist....help us with lil paragraphs ay I hear alot of stories about jinns possessing people simply because they are in love with them. What a strange way to show affection.

Wow, I must say, those pictures are amazing. Asmara has the looks of a modern city. :eek: Most Eritreans I have met (in the west) speaks Arabic. I've yet to hear the language spoken in thier country. But guess what? I think I've lost count how many of them I spoke Somali to. Sometimes they play nice and reply back with the limited somali they all seem to know.

I dont know why people are putting so much emphasis on her believes. The fact is, its between her and her creater . Now having said that, thousands of innocent people die in Somalia regardless how old or what believes they hold, and its sad to see she was just another victim.

heh Naden, He always reminded me of Golem, ( the character in Lord of the Rings ). The one obsessed with the ring, to be more clear.

- Ash Tree (the Ambition) I'm extremly attractive that part is definately true, not sure about the rest. : )

Congrats for her, that is just beuatiful. May Allah reward her

Apologies if you've heard this before A man is taking a walk in Central park in New York. Suddenly he sees a little girl being attacked by a pit bull dog . He runs over and starts fighting with the dog. He succeeds in killing the dog and saving the girl's life. A policeman who was watching the scene walks over and says: "You are a hero, tomorrow you can read it in all the newspapers: "Brave New Yorker saves the life of little girl" The man says: - "But I am not a New Yorker!" "Oh ,then it will say in newspapers in the morning: 'Brave American saves life of little girl'" – the policeman answers. "But I am not an American!" – says the man. "Oh, what are you then? " The man says: - "I am a Saudi !" The next day the newspapers says: "Islamic extremist kills innocent American dog.

wow that is really sad, . Salaxuddiin mind posting the source of this,

Remember we have Indonesia as our nieghbours, so i dont think australia would want to create anything that will jeopardise thier relationship with Indonesia. Besides many of them fear Indonesia, hence australias pro US policy. Unlike other western countries Australia is all alone on this side of the globe.

Apologies, if we ausies seem to be spamming one too many news articles. I found this hilarious, Drug-accused model says she's a Muslim 18:46 AEST Mon Aug 29 2005 AAP An Australian model facing drugs charges in Bali has declared herself a Muslim and adopted an Islamic headdress to shield her face from media attention. Adelaide-born Michelle Leslie, 24, appeared covered from head to toe as she was led from her cell at Bali police headquarters, where she is facing up to 15 years in jail if convicted on charges of possessing two tablets of ecstasy Read Full article

ha! Rahima i get that question all the time. Where are u from, I usualy say the suburb eg. bundoora rather than country itself, even though i know what they actualy mean, this confuses them a bit. Its funny how ppl ask silly questions, after all we are all migrants of some sort. First, I consider myself, muslim - Somali/african than australian. I dont know where u guys get the Arab part from..

La Trobe University (Melbourne). /waves @ ausie mates

Wow, this reminds me of another story. A man who was unaware of a nail in his skull, until 6 days later. ..A dentist found the source of the toothache Patrick Lawler was complaining about on the roof of his mouth: a 10-centimetre nail the construction worker had unknowingly embedded in his skull six days earlier. A nail gun backfired on Lawler.. while working in Breckenridge, a ski resort town in the central Colorado mountains. The tool sent a nail into a piece of wood nearby, but Lawler didn't realize a second nail had shot through his mouth Nail embedded in man's skull (full news)

How funny was that animation (cartoon) at the begining.
