Powerful poem. I agree with you it does best describe a warlord.

Introduce shari'aa in present day Somalia? I dunno, am very skeptical. The most realistic thing for Somalia is to get their act together first and this my dear will take a very long time. I didn't follow up on Amina's case, but anyway the way her case was handled was kinda shady. Allah knows best.

Don't know if had mentioned it b4, but here it is: Men who spit in public. No shame what so ever. and I use to have a crush on this guy till I one day saw him wearing white socks with his sandals.....in the summer!!! Holly molly......summer? paleeezeee. Q:When are we goin to end topics like these........turn ons/offs? I think the women's corner needs a lil makeover....don't think ladies?

MMA: How sad and pathetic. I really think some Somalis need a wake up call! It's kind of odd how strict Somali wadaado can be about certain things ie. student loans n' such, but when it comes to cheating the welfare they seem indifferent about it. Don't you think its time for Somali sheikhs to get real about this and teach folks a thing or two on honesty?

Sister_Somali: Aaamin. Incredible story.

Arm dhalanyaro folks? I'd vote for No. Young people sometimes don't think before they get into tense situations. You have to be a responsible person for you to carry a weapon, where the law allows it. Getting robbed is one of those things you can't forsee, am not going to be paranoid everytime I leave out of the house. I mean would you even remember how to properly use the weapon when you're caught off guard? We're not trained to use these dangerous weapons as the police. Certain precautions can be adopted to be safe. Always be in groups after hours and just be aware of your surroundings at all times. As for ladies, taking self defence courses might not be so bad at all. LoL, my cousin claims she always carries a pen so if she's ever to get attacked she would poke it in...........aaaah i dont' even wanna think about it!! Stay safe Ya'll~~

I like the Kappas n' the Alphas For sorors, AKA's. I wonder how they find time to study with their full time social life?!!!

Appreciate the contribution akhii.....Jazakallah~~

aamiin~~ Jazakallah!

Sometime ago in a laudary place, I couldn't get away from his presidential address (nowhere to go) and I just remember being annoyed. Atleast Bill Clinton was a bit of a charmer and waaaaaaay tolerable to watch.

hehehehehehe.

Abdinuur...GOOOD QUESTION!!!! seriously I've been thinking about this too. Im friends with pple in sororities n' frats (been invited b4), and walaahi they'd do anything for their brothers/sisters. It's the pride that kills me. Plus, I find it wrong to de-humanize yourself for intiation or even hazing!!! But then again, they argue that its an actual organization with strict guidelines and infact they give back to the community through programs ie. volunteering or what not. Thunder, thanks for the input.

Call me a chicken, but ever since I saw the procedure(navel piercing) on some TV show I've decided to pass..... :eek: Also, when my sister was getting her nose pierced, that experience will forever stay with me!! Fulay wayn aan ahay nooh. hehehehe.

I've caught part of his interview on Larry King Live, and I couldn't help but agree with all his points. He doesn't hate the guy, but only critized the policies he supports. Those same polices that enforce sanctions and abuse their power as the super power of the world. He definitely needs to open up his eyes to the after effects of foreign policies.

Capitalism: : an economic system characterized by private or corporate ownership of capital goods, by investments that are determined by private decision, and by prices, production, and the distribution of goods that are determined mainly by competition in a free market. Wlc to the forum sis.

Good piece. Its strange how the US praised Al-Jazeera b4 the attacks (60 minutes for example), and all of a sudden Al-Jazeera became a household name. I love it how they uncover the dirt under the carpet. Now do they have it in subtitles?

Nop. Iam interested in your position. Hmmmm what 2 do?

Mr.President....why? You wanna be the leader of that group too?

I think we should have Somaliaonline T-shirts!! hehehe....distributed in conventions or have 'em available on e-bay! Whatchu think?

I once met a family friend who's a house wife. For a while she was attending college and all of a sudden stopped. She told me that getting a loan was XARAAM!!! I was shocked. Ofcourse that's when I realized the Somali sheikhs position regarding this issue. I agree with Bachelor and I heard the same thing too. This also applies to getting a mortgage for housing.

I see that no one is benefiting from this discussion. May I suggest something: Drop this discussion brothers and sisters. It only adds confusion for most. Walaahi its useless and it's getting personal for some. Bickering back and forth is not going to help any1. That's my 2 cents. Macasalaama~~

What kind of organization did u have in mind? students, educated folks, religious, family gathering???? And what should the aim be?

Listen Up folks So what if she's a self-declared hypocrite. It hits home because she's one of us. But hypocrites existed even in the time of the Rasuul (SAW) and they will continue to exist till the end of time. Its unfortunate that she examined the actions of muslims rather than to take a deeper look at our beautiful deen. Islam Is Perfect. Muslims aren't!!!! remember that. Why is it that I hear comments like " a somali woman isn't capable of that"?? Somalis aren't different from humans and and just like any other society there will be dictators, warlords, murders, rapists, gays, feminists, bikini models, etc. Get it? Muslims are being challenged about their deen everyday and the question is what can you do about it? Here's a suggestion: Educate yourselves!! Somalis are talkers and the fact of the matter is alot of us don't know much about our deen to even defend it. Another suggestion would be to get involved in groups that aim to educate the public about Islam. We're forgetting that we NEED Islam too. I've said too much. I hope I made myself clear. Habeen Wanagsan akhiyaarta.
