I second Infatua.5an ...Ofcourse it's a total guess.

The African Festival...Late august. It's going to be off the hook! Also the Jazz fest. ofcourse nothing compared to montreal somalien

Let me put in my vote b4 this month's ova... Opinionated!! yeeey girl, I'm proud of you ..you've behaved good this month LOL.

I see it this way, we have muslim singers in every culture and its not a suprise to have black muslims rappers! Like Somalien said, atleast he's upfront about his faith. I was wondering about Talib for awhile. I guess he isn't muslim but for sure mos is. Anybody feel that he's becoming a sell-out? There's a new muslim group out: Kindred ..a husband/wife duo. Infact in their debut video watch out for a glimpse of a hijaabi

Wlc back sniper! LOL@ butt waxing...whoa unnecessary details :eek:

Najma, congratz abaayo. I didn't know you were Jamaal's sis. Good luck with your future endevours. Also, Hugz & Kissez to my adorable cousin HODAN I hope you achieve all your dreams in this Dunya by striving the best person you can be. Hold fast your deen. Love ya lots!!!

Wasn't there a similar case in Toronto few years back where a niqaabi sista wanted to ride the TTC bus but the driver wouldn't accept her school ID....or soemthing to that affect. If any1 remembers the story don't hesistate to post it. Ameenah, me too!! I hold the same opinion. Islamically dont' you have to obey the laws of the land you reside so long as it doesn't violate fudamental beliefs of your religion. Anyway, it'll be interesting to see the outcome of this lawsuit.

Silent Sista, lol @ the double rxn. I'm pretty sure that kids in the States are educated about AIDS and its deadly effects. By admitting to the fact you planned with your "friend" for an innocent person to get AIDS says to me that you have deep psychological problems. Oh boy this stuff is really distrubing I have this gut feeling that you are really young. I'm not sure if you're mentally stable ...pls get some councelling/help/guidance ASAP b'coz this self-destructive behaviour is going to cost you your life here, and be sure that your goin to answer for your actions to the most HIGH unless you repent sincerely. :eek: :eek:

Oddly enough, as I was reading every1's replies to what made them smile/laugh, my cousin barges in to my room......and what in the world???? She's tryna rap!!! lool. Yes, you heard me, rap. Abaayo, don't bet on being the next Lauryn Hill. I don't wanna reveal who she is, cuz she's a member here. LOL. Girl Pls, minimize the yelling so we can absorb what you're saying. And what exactly are you trying to say? LOL LOL..walaahi this is hilarious. Can some1 tell her to stop, she thinks she's on a roll.

Nice Raula!

This is what I call a person who has alot of time to spare. Get a new hobby

I wasn't born in Somalia and I've lived in 4 countries including Somalia. And you expect me to retain my culture fully like those who've entered Qurbaha yesterday? That's not realistic. My culture is mix of more than 1, I take that which appeals to me as long as it doesn't contradict with my Faith. I don't care if guys have a problem with the fact that I speak fluently in english, or that I don't wear diric at all! lol. Some people consider going to school and working modern.Beat that! You can't satisty everybody but yourself. Ayaan, continue to be who you are. We've got enough fake people in this world. If they can't deal with that, then it's their issue. Excellent topic btw

I gotta agree with Ameenah & Opinionated. Yup it's a reflection of the times we're living in. People are lacking faith/morals and are desperately running away their issues. Plus, sex appeal and displaying confidence about your sexuality is highly encouraged thanks to mass media. I think there's a dysfuntional in our community and this issue is one of many.

Socrates.....the quest to score? lol. You had me cracking for a minute. Ok few nomads know me here, so let them be the judge! I think am less social on SOL and some of the reasons maybe that I participate in "serious" issues more than others. N' quite honestly, I don't write alot here otherwise I'll feel like I'm writing an essay and I dont' have the time to proof read! Besides, I'm very busy. Definately thou, I'm more social outside here. I'm as honest here as I would be if I were to conversate with you face-2-face. Hmmm. lets see, Oh yea why is it that some pple display an online character that's way off from their true personality? It's almost like they're trying to impress people.....I might be wrong :confused:

START BY LIVING WITH U'R FAMILY,AIN'T NO SOMALI GIRL GOT HURT BY LIVING WITH HER MOTHER REMEMBER. Shyhem, pls tell me you're being sarcastic or something?? I don't think that any muslimah should live by herself. I don't even know that if she can leave her parents side if she's not married. Khayr, I live on my own and I still have have to take pre-cautions when it comes to keeping myself safe. Whether I was living with my parents or not!! As far as Islam is concerned, I would've been aware if it was totally OUT OF THE QUESTION for a muslimah to live away from home.

lol, I was at a loss as to who NUR was till I read some of the replies. No wonder why it didn't click b'coz its been years since I last visited the other site. Jazakallah to sis. Rahima for posting this, and to the writer for enlightening me and I'm sure many others.

Pyromaniac, I'm still around girlfriend. I'm just a busy bee outside this world! And plssss people stop changing ur original names guys, I can't keep up anymore! honest to God. Its hard enough getting acquainted with new members every single day.

Modesty, lolol...i dont think there is any somali guy who would do that.... Oh please, stalkers are stalkers!!! No matter the race. What you're telling us is damn SERIOUS. Infact it's troubling. What I don't understand is why aren't the police doing anything? What about a restraining order? Don't you have a caller ID? Also do you have guy cousins/relatives that maybe can do something about this creep? I know it worked for a cousin of mine when she mentioned she had brothers who can take care of him!! Girl I'm worried about you. I'm sure you're talking this matter serious and my advice to you is TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES to keep yourself safe. Change your digits if you have to....or move! There's no telling what he could do. And be persistant with the police. It's your right legally to get a restraining order. I pray that no harm comes your way. Take care of yourself abaayo. p.s. don't forget to read Ayatul Kursi everytime you step outside.

Hey I can't complain about being compared to Ilhaam, Nafisa, N' Cambaro!!! Not bad Ilhaam, how sweet! you're one of my favs. sisters here. 4real. Luv ur positive attitude.

It's called promotion Khayr. All that extra hard work will pay off someday. I also agree, they've got bills to pay! no joke. Anyways, I've noticed at jobs... u right people notice your behaviour while you're there. Details like whether ur punctual or ur interaction with them is always under observation. Let's be realistic, you can't exactly get away from office gossip. You're either with them or against them. lol.
