This is non-issue. We are facing some greater issues that much concerns us Soomaalis than this, should I say, fiddling one. Sar la dumiye tan ma ugu horeynin, and I am sure tana uguma dambeyneyso. Our worries, I am sure, are much greater than this trivial, non-issue issue. Masaajidadii dadka ku tukanaaye ayaaba fakan la', wax kale sheegeysiin. Kuwaan Shabaab la leeyahay waa kuwii u diiday inay dadka kale ciiddaan another day. Iyagoo salaatada ciidda ku jiro qorigooga la galay masaajidada, kana soo kaxeeye dadkii tukanaaye iyagoo waliba qadaanqadinaayo iyo karbaashaayo. Marka dad waxaas ku sameynaayo kuwii Muslimiinta la ahaa ayaa waxaa noo sheegeysiin idinkana waxaas kale ee sameyeen.

Dadkiina aqriyo wuxuu ninkaan qoro and then complain about the contents you already know waxa kasoo bixi doono. Why u aqrineysiin his stories. Anigaba maba aqriyo, and surely I have no problem with them. If you don't want to read that 'dirty' stuff, then don't read. It is as simple as it gets. Wah. Kuusha, would you be so kind to summarize what the story is about. Sabaltiibada meesha ka dhaceyso aaba la yaabee. Hal habeen toddobo dhan la isticmaalay, dad loo gali karo ma'aha dadkaas then.

LooL at Sack, Sophist and Nuunka. I had an insider info myself of his imminent arrest from the Kenyan authorities nooh. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made that comment, since it would've been a libel.

LoL. Madax luxid wey dhaaftay, this coming from a man in a country ku jiray kuwii baangadaha isku qaatay, qoorta iska gooynaayi and dab isqabadsiinaaye in maalin caddeey in the name of tribes. Kuwa adduunweynihii ka yaabay. Suu ciyoow u ilooway igu daranba, sanadba kama soo wareeganinee.

Buuxo, I can't believe you had never heard qawad. It is a skin condition dadka ka muuqdo, siiba on the neck and face, particularly on the neck, though. It might look like qaanjeer, but instead of being on the top of skin, qawadka ka muuqdaa inside the skin, a bit discoloured waliba asagoo ah. This brief article might help you. -------------- Su'aal : Asalaamu caleykum. Qawad maxaa keena? Maxaa la isaga daaweeyaa? Dhowr daawo ayaan u isticmaalay, wuuna iga hari la'yahay. Ee maxaan ku sameeyaa? Wabilaahi towfiiq. Jawaab : Soomalida waxa ay u taqaan qawad waa noocyo kala ka duwan oo kuligood ah skin conditions (cuduro ku dhaaca maqaarka). Qaarkood waxay la xiriiraan wax ka dhaxeeya maqaarka iyo waxa jirku u isticmaalo in uu iskaga difaaco infectionka iyo waxa la mid ah (immune system). Dadka qaarkiis immune systemkooda ayaa si aanan la fileen wax ugu dhima maqaarka. Si taas oo kale loo daaweeyo waa iyada oo qofka la siiyo boomaatooyin u sheegaya jirka in uusan maqaarka wax yelin (steroid creams, etc). Marka daawada waxay ku xiran tahay waxa keena dhibatada. Waxaan kugula talin lahaa in aad haddii ay kuu suuroobayso aragtid dhakhaatiirta ku taqasustay maqaarka oo loo yaqaan dermatologist. Waxaana qasab ah in daawada ay ku siiyeen si joogta ah u isticmaashid. Mahadsanid. Xigasho

Peasant, have you ever read what the old members of Reform party members believed and what that party's manifesto was? And they still believe, albeit hiding behind the old Progressive Consersative brand, though interestingly they dropped the 'progressive' part after the two parties merged. Just tell me or give me the issues that compel me to vote a Conservative -- of course as a minority, Muslim and Afrikaan anigoo ah. They offer me nothing, only against what I am -- being a former refugee, which that party members never liked to begin with. They have Stockwell Day -- do you want me to dig what he used to say and still says? And I don't even have to remind you what Stephen Harper used to write, especially during his leadership at the anti-immigrant and anti-social healthcare National Citizens Coalition, an organization that steadfastly campaigned against the universal free healthcare, admitance of Vietnamese refugees to Canada, who were in late '70s similar situation as we were in early '90s. Harper is now trying vainly not to reveal those old opinions of his and that organizatio he used to head. Caddaan, NDP do represent the working, less fortunate people. Conservatives do not. Conservatives do represent -- and they don't hide that -- for the rich, well-fed cats. That is why they give the corporations tax cuts, but cry a foul when more money is poured into healthcare. Let me ask you two about this 'waste of vote' you keep saying. The very system of electing MPs is flawed. This first-past-the-post itself is not the ideal of electing member of parliament to Parliament. See, an MP can easily elected by a minority, with 30% of the votes, whereas the rest -- that is 70% who did not vote that said MP -- do not have a true represention to Parliament. This can be corrected if some kind of proportional representation is used, where no vote is wasted. No wonder the Conservative party -- along with some members of Liberals -- are against this. Because of this first-past-the-post system in place, this Conservative government can form the next government with a mere 36% percent of the electorate and have a majority government. It is unbelievable. I intend to vote NDP again. I voted twice before and both were for NDP. I believe if it wasn't the provinvial NDP's generous social policies of early '90s in Ontario, many Soomaalis would not be here today. They would have stayed in US. Hayam, well said, sister.

This Andrew Mwangura dude has some inside information about waxaas maraakiib la qabsado by burcadbadeedkaan. He has a contact. Dad ayaaba leh he has his cut of the shares in the ransom.

Voting for a right-wing, xenophobic party [and some whose members hold an open anti-Islamic views] is a waste of vote from a qaxooti kooyto ah, Afrikaan, Muslim and immigrant -- as a Soomaali, you all are and represent what they don't really like. If it wasn't for Liberals' policy of open multiculturalism and loosening the immigration rules, you wouldn't even have been here now. The Conversatives, especially the old Reform party members such as Stephen Harper, even if they allowed you in, xiro qaxooti ku geyn lahayeen until you have a full sharci as it is like in Australia. And if it wasn't the NDP, you wouldn't even have had a free, universal healthcare, regardless how much you make, especially when you landed in, when you were in the neediest of time.

They have a big Conversative sign on their window. I didn't feel cool with that, but now they have other signs from other parties as well, though. I don't know how they did allow to have a Conservative sign, especially a big one. Perhaps they think Conservatives are good for businesses, since they have a little business joint.

Inta badan kooxahaan way is wada arkeen marka laga reebo Burundi, oo iyadu mar qura jug culus la gaarsiiyey, waxayna ku jirtaa difaac. Kulamadii ugu dambeeyey haddii aan wax ka sheegno, waxay dhex mareen Alshabaab vs Ugaandha, waxa uuna kulankaasi ahaa mid adag oo sababay in ay dadweyne fara badani garoonka ka baxaan si ay kaga fakadaan hardanka labada kooxdood, markii uu dhamaaday kulankaasi ayay dadweynuhu waxay isla dhex mareen “Wellee xalay kulan dhacay, qaarkood waxay leeyihiin waxa uu ku dhamaaday barbardhac halka kuwo kalana ay leeyihiin waxaa 1-0 ku bediyey Alshabaab, waxa uuna kulankaani ka dhacay Guriga Ugaandha, waxaana Ugaandha looga fadhiyaa in ay Guriga Alshabaab aado, balse Kabtankooda ayaa yiri “Anagu ma tagi karno Guriga Alshabaab” waxaana la weydiiyey sababta waxa uuna ku jawaabay “No Comment."
