^ Interesting..., This is a honest question! ...do think your wife does alittle *window shopping* of her own? ...call me an unrealistic romantic..but i would looooove to believe that once a person is married thier partner is thier dream catch..heh To to orginal question at hand.. Would i discard THE standards if i met this inessential person..umm...yes..i would...attraction is a very.. loose thing.. a person whom you never thought about before..could sudennly...be someting else..once you get to know them and find them compatible.. So..i would say they are rather flexible..but the limits are naturally the persons level of Iman, and his Deen and .... bieng a bit vain.. Hieght...being married to a short brother wouldnt just work..(short as in nything smaller then 5'8)i am not planing on being the circus couple. Peace in The MIddle EAZT !!!!

lool..that was jokes... Wan ku dhul fadheesanaya goatka, yeah?...den I will shake dat ting like sean paul says, you get me? Classic...!

^ sad isnt it.. well thats good..it leaves my more positions in my feild.. Studying=Knowledge..personally..money comes and goes..you have to adapt to the sitatuion at hand and you can't struture your life for the mere purpose of fulfling your materail needs..thats just..dumb..you have only one life to live.. one life to make an impact in.. make it... no need to be selfish..well this is all an opinion.. everyone sees thier lives in a different format.. . Peace In da MIDDLE EAST...!

^ exactly..we have no knowledge of what is hidden...so what's being discussed here is a concept.. not an acutality..

Man..what a fasination for older..men !! ..I wouldnt be able to see myself with someone who is more then 2-3 yrs older then me..even three years sounds too much...Personally, I wouldn't be able to understand older man...being at different stages of our lives..our expectations would naturally be different...who can i be crazy with if my husband..is 35 and iam 25!?! Peace iN the MiddLe EaSt !

Yep ^ its one of my fav songs.. i love this line ..translation .. in english.. **My murderess was empty feeted** lol..doesnt sound too good .. k here is my poor arabi writing.. **k3thilathi kanath hafiyath 'll kadaman** Wondering if nyone heard 7sain Al Jazmy's new song Reshalah, with the indian beat..its really good..someting u can jump to with a meaning.. *Walks about jumping* Peace in the Middle East !

Emmy Great Argument ! wlc to sol too To the orginal question at hand..Lets not generlize...why be so sterotypica...nyway.. i am glad that i was brought up in the Arabs..its a quite upbrining that i know helped me and many others i grewup with view life in a very sensible fashion.. This idea that people who live in the arabs are locked in their houses and once in the west have this great urge to be *Free* is very ....western...thats simply not how things are..Dubai..Kuwait City..and many others are mordern citiez...whatever we have here in the citiez in the West..Malls ..Movies..and even..Clubs..existed back there....So what are the people from the arabs transforming to actually once they come here? Peace In The Middle East !

Interesting..Do you really care for her? If your answer is *yes* take her seriously and your "relationship"..and get some new freinds.. If not..dumb her.. and allow her and yourself to find someone important enough, where you wouldnt have a dilema like this one..

SONG OF THE SOUL In the depth of my soul there is a wordless song A song that lives in the seed of my heart. It refuses to melt with ink on parchment; It engulfs my affection in a transparent cloak And flows but not upon my lips. How can I sigh it? I fear it may mingle with earthly ether; To whom shall I sing it? It dwells in the house of my soul, In fear of harsh ears. When I look into my inner eyes I see the shadow of its shadow; When I touch my fingertips I feel its vibrations. The deeds of my hands heed its presence as a lake must reflect the glittering stars; My tears reveal it, as bright drops of dew reveal the secret of a withering rose. It is a song composed by contemplation, And published by silence, And shunned by clamour, And folded by truth, And repeated by dreams, And understood by love, And hidden by awakening, And sung by the soul. It is the song of love; What Cain or Esau could sing it? It is more fragrant than jasmine; What voice could enslave it? It is heartbound, as a virgin's secret; What string could quiver it? Who dares unite the roar of the sea And the singing of the nightingale? Who dares compare the shrieking tempest To the sigh of an infant? Who dares speak aloud the words Intended for the heart to speak? What human dares sing in voice The song of God?

^ lool..hmh i suppose its all about taste.. K one movie that i forgot to recomend is **Dirty Pretty Things**..GREAT MOVIE .. Its so good..I loved it...

My parents meeting was very..let me say..normal..my dad was in vacation in east africa and met my mother through family..end of story..However my grandparents had the best meeting ever..My grandmother, was sent to live with some family in eastafrica, my grandfather who was in the transport bizness at the time..hang around the airport or bus terminal(not quite sure) he saw my ayeeyo..fell in love.. and not knowing who she was..he couldnt loose the chance, so he followed her to her relatives house..found out who she was..and went next day..with pomp and all the necessary jesters to ask for her hand !

A black Jacket, White or dull/pale coloured shirt in, dont wear nyting that is to flashy..no bright colours.no pinks or reds..Black pants..and dress type pants .no jeans naturally, and a pair of dress shoes..classic black shoes.with a small heal, that look perfect with your pants...If you wear the hijab, it naturally will look better if it isnt black but if it matches your shirt.. Hope to have helped n'd GOOD LUCK! Peaze in the middle east!

Hadadd WELL SAID..no need to repeat!

That was great..Mashallah..nicely written!...Inshallah that shall come to pass soon.. Inshallah in my life time so I could see how it all falls into place

^ lool Og-Girl..are you sure..everyone has two faces you know..But Honestly nicely Said..I couldnt understand half the things said..but hey.. who needs to read negative rubbish...

It is a Given that We are here in this world to Worship Allah. Yet I think the Poster had that In mind...However...We as People Have to have a worldly Objective..Contribute to our Muslim Society in postive manner Through Gaining an Education and Using Our Skills to Build on what is there..To build a great society..So what is your Objective In those Terms..What do want to do..What is the Purpose of Your life..What will your contribution Be? Will your contribution be..that you will bring up concious Muslims and Muslimah's Will your contribution be..that you gain an education and build the status of the Ummah? So..I am Glad That All of You Have this in Mind We are Here To Worship Allah. Peace In The Middle East !

This girl needs a good and proper DHIRBAAAAAAXO to clam her down, man. Looooooool... *Remembers her Ayeeyo shouting that..childhood memories..*

Does anyone know that Snake Eggs resemble Chicken eggs...they are large..so imagine this someone swallowing an egg..from your frige and not chocking on it...who knows, maybe it was a midget snake with midget eggs

Simple There is a test for it..and i dont think this is limited to somali people You have this person..and your not quite sure what cateogray the fall under LIKED or LOVED Lets say this is between a Man and a Woman. If you can imagine yourself living in the constant company of this person for the rest of ur natural existence( if ur 25..can be 50 yrs, half a century) and ..not in any moment feel uncomfortable or freaked out bout the idea..then you must be inlove with this person..for it takes alot to care enough for a person to that degree... But if u cant imagine this scenior..u simply like the person enough to even consider it.. thats it.. Like=No scarifices Love=Scarifcies Can a woman like a man without loving him..ofcourse and viceversa. Its only a emotion of admiration and common likes..no more.. Night and Peace in The Middle East ! Life is so simple..we make it complicated

^^^^ LoooL i love ur signture..Pinky and the Brain! loved that show...*wonders what happened to it* Movies.. If ur in the mood for a fairytale night I really suggest you see Elle Enchanted..Very Cute.. or on Tape I Capture The Castle..Another Chick Flick. Monalisa smile-Not worth your 6 bucks to rent Or Lost In Translation..unless you are going through a Mid Life Crisis..then maybe u will relate.. Movies That I Cant Wait To Watch Troy..The Myth Comes To Life ! Shrek 2...No explainations needed here..its a Ogre and a talking Donkey lol And Val Helsing

I was sick to my stomach...the worst thing is that it didnt suprise...i wasn't shocked with outrage..simply dismayed...and that is more of a horrific fact to know that such things are possible and to expect them. I have realized a long time ago that I couldnt live in western countries..it in a way kills you, slowly your soul at the end of the day hearing all the hypocritical BS... There will be no mass movement, the Muslim nations will not getup in protest, that is simply the way it is now, but it also does not mean that we as individuals could not get more involved in the politics of our communities and countries as a whole. Peace !

Do you hear the rain? I want to turn of the computer and call you to tell you how its raining in the green centre of the day late afternoon thundering open ........like heartbreak- ........like we image- But you are another illusion ....So I keep typing. ------------------------ Courtesy of The TTC.. Toronto Transit Control They post poems..on the ads.. area.. its nice.. get out of ur daydreaming and read something great..wrote it down..thought to share.

I would say its because guys are expected to bear most of the wedding expenses..where is a university student or a freshly graduated one going to get 5000-10,000 dollars without being a burden on his parents and family....

To the Poster..um I always found the Russians to be Interesting..did my last highschool project on Stalin and Industrialisation..or CheGuevara's revolution in Cuba..the Mideast Confilct...Feminism: The roots of the movement to be economic rather then social... What class is it for nyway?
