I am curious; is Jaan Dheer Islamically compliant?

Hijab makes a girl/woman elegant. I didn't find the woman in the picture elegant.

Garra rufa.

Apparently, it's very easy to compel Togane not to badmouth you (your relative, qabiil, iwm). All it takes is to threaten him with a lawsuit. That's what the son of Ali Mahdi did after Togane's piece of work about Ali Mahdi allowing foreign companies to dump toxic waste. Togane was even forced to apologize.

So, you're blaming the Chinese? AFAIK, the Chinese who manufactured the sofa might not even know how to read English. They get the instruction for the label printing from Western companies that import their products. Of indhoyar people, it's my observation the Chinese are the least who display racism towards Africans. How can Africans forget what China did for them in economic development, projects, building infrastructure & highways, iwm throughout many decades?

Originally posted by Ameen: however, to delay or put aside for the meantime, one of the commandments of Allah, the Most-Great, should NEVER been done. Well said. The application of Allah's commandments doesn't hinge on the existence of Islamic government or caliphate. If one suggests suspending one of the commandments, one might as well suggest suspending the rest of the commandments. Right?

Originally posted by Geel_Jire12: There are no liquour stores in Somalia, brothels etc..... Liquor was sold before the ICU. There were home breweries which were destroyed after the ICU took over Somalia. There were porno movies shown at cinemas or makeshift cinemas; banned after the ICU took over Somalia. And there were brothels; if not official, unofficial brothels. The bottom line, under the rule of the warlords or secular governments (i.e. TFG), legalizing what's haram is a certainty.

From Wikipedia*: "He advocates a reinterpretation of Islamic texts" and this part: "Ramadan has voiced his opposition to all forms of capital punishment but believes the Muslim world itself should remove the laws that allow the practice, rather than have the Western world impose its will on it." So, Ramadan wants to abolish capital punishment by means of reinterpretation of Islamic texts? Like *BOB said once, if a Muslim is praised by the West, there must be some monkey business going between them. * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tariq_Ramadan

"Every single minute of the last three years I have been very worried. Maybe tonight the Americans will come to my house, molest my wife and children and arrest me."

At least we felt safe under the extremists, say Kandahar residents too afraid to go out after dark 08 April 2007 Faiz Mohammed Karigar, a father of two, fled Kandahar when the Taliban held power in Afghanistan because he was against their restrictions on education. Now he wants the fundamentalists back. "When the Taliban were here, I escaped to the border with Iran, but I was never worried about my family," he said. "Every single minute of the last three years I have been very worried. Maybe tonight the Americans will come to my house, molest my wife and children and arrest me." Last week, President Hamid Karzai acknowledged for the first time that he had held talks with the Taliban in an attempt to reach a peace deal and avert a bloody struggle for control in the south and east of the country, where the movement has enjoyed a resurgence in the past year. The failure of Nato forces to deliver security and development and rising civilian casualties inflicted by Western forces in clashes with the Taliban have led to a loss of support in Kandahar. "How can we forgive the Americans?" asked Mr Karigar, who like most people here does not distinguish among the different elements in Nato. "I will fight them any way I can." The majority of forces in Kandahar province are Canadian, with a British commander, Major-General "Jacko" Page, about to assume responsibility for the whole of southern Afghanistan at a time when a renewed Taliban offensive is thought to be imminent. British troops have been based mainly in neighbouring Helmand province so far, but the fresh forces now arriving will operate across the region. The Taliban failed last year to carry out its threat to seize back Kandahar, its former stronghold, and Nato insists the movement can never win a military victory against it, even if many Afghans believe it possible. But the occupiers have lost crucial support in the city, which has become one of the most dangerous places in Afghanistan. Political and criminal violence has spread fear among the population, and most try to avoid going out after dark, when the only sounds are the helicopters flying overhead and the odd burst of gunfire in the streets. Suicide attacks are common, and on several occasions in recent months nervous Nato troops have shot civilians they mistakenly believed were about to blow themselves up. Whatever the cause of the bloodshed, the local population almost always blames the foreign soldiers in their midst. Even moderate Afghans are openly declaring they will join the insurgency. The British Government calls the Taliban "terrorists" and "extremists", but people in Kandahar associate it with security. Before the 2001 invasion, they say, they could walk the streets safely as long as they complied with the movement's strict interpretation of Islamic law. Now even a simple outing to the local market is seen as a risk, and the Taliban, established as a response to lawlessness in the 1990s, is gaining fresh strength. "I think life under the Taliban was very good," said Maria Farah, a mother of five. "If we did not have a full stomach, we could at least get some food and go to sleep, and if we went out somewhere there were no problems. How about now? If we go out, we don't know if we will arrive home or not. If there is an explosion and the Americans are passing, they will just open fire on everyone. The security problems are too much here." Foreign attempts at development were waved aside by Haji Abdul Rahman, a tribal elder, who demanded: "If a road has been built and you are killed, what good is it? Everyone is a robber. I guarantee if you sit in my car and we go for a drive, no Taliban will take you away. But I cannot guarantee that about the police. If they stop you they will steal your money and your camera." The Nato-led International Security Assistance Force denies the insurgency is gaining strength. "Most polling data shows only about 5 per cent of the people actually support the Taliban extremists," said a spokesman, who insisted that fighting in Kandahar province was a result of foreign and local troops "extending the reach of the legitimate government" into militant strongholds. But a recent poll of several thousand men in Kandahar and Helmand by the Senlis Council, a Brussels-based thinktank, found that Taliban support among civilians had jumped to nearly 27 per cent. Only 19 per cent in the two provinces felt that international troops were helping them personally. In southern Afghanistan, said the report, people "are increasingly prepared to admit their support for the Taliban, and the belief that the government and the international community will not be able to defeat the Taliban is widespread". In the Panjwayi district west of Kandahar city, which saw heavy fighting last year, Mawlawi Abdul Hadid said 18 members of his family died in an air strike last May against suspected insurgents. "In the beginning you had only one enemy. Then you made two, then three, and now I also stand against you," he declared. http://uruknet.info/?p=m31960&s1=h1

Speith talks like she's an expert in Somali culture and traditions. She couldn't be more than wrong. Is virginity crucial to the majority of Somalis? I don't think so, at least with me. If it was forced upon her, would I blame the girl? Hell no! Would I consider marrying a girl who lost her virginity like the one in this report? Yes.

If he refuted what he said, he must have his own reasons. Try to rationalize that.
