A white man speaks Somali and says oodkac. A white woman dances and sings in Somali. Mighty BIG DEAL! Like only Soomaali dhalad can speak or sing in Somali! Go figure:.........

Originally posted by *BOB: Salam Aleikum W.W Care to elaborate on that my brother? if you don't mind that is...because I was told that all Somalis practiced it regardless of background & tribe...I lived amongst Bajunis & Arabs who used to practice it even though most Somalis believed that they never circumcised their girls... Wa aleikum salam W.W. It's not feasible all Somalis would practice FGM; there's always an exception to the rule. Suffice to say there are Somali groups who never practiced FGM, and they hail from the minorities of both gibil cad and non-gibil cad. I would even go further and say there are some who hail from the majority who didn't practice FGM out of its non-compliance with Islam.

Originally posted by sweet_gal: .....I dont understand how people can continue to do this...... For some people, dhaqan is sacrosanct. They argue their ancestors practiced it, therefore they must practice it. These people dearly value their dhaqan and disregard Islam.

Originally posted by *Aisha*: I never knew it was that common in eritrea!!! Shows you how little knowledge I have about my own country... I think in terms of percentage, FGM is more prevalent in Eritrea than Somalia. I mean, many urban Somalis no longer practice FGM, plus certain Somali groups never practiced it. Nevertheless, this ban is a very positive development. FGM isn't from Islam, therefore, it should never be practiced.

The move follows a campaign against the practice by the National Union of Eritrean Women, which says more than 90% of Eritrean women are circumcised. More than 90%? :eek:

Eritrea has banned the life-threatening practice of female circumcision, the Eritrean information ministry has said. Anybody involved in female genital mutilation (FGM) would be punished with a fine and imprisonment, it said. Female circumcision is widespread in many parts of Africa The move follows a campaign against the practice by the National Union of Eritrean Women, which says more than 90% of Eritrean women are circumcised. FGM typically involves removing the clitoris and FGM supporters argue that it helps prevent promiscuous behaviour. The practice is widespread in many parts of Africa and the Middle East. Women carry out the surgery as part of an initiation rite to adulthood. It is known to be a very painful practice that sometimes leads to excessive bleeding, infection, trauma and difficulties in childbirth. "Female circumcision is a procedure that seriously endangers the health of women, causes them considerable pain and suffering besides threatening their lives," the government proclamation said. "Whosoever requests, incites or promotes female circumcision by providing tools or any other means and whosoever, knowing that female circumcision is to take place or has taken place, fails without good cause, to warn or inform the proper authorities promptly, shall be punishable with a fine and imprisonment," it continued. The ban came into force on 31 March, the information ministry said. FGM is outlawed in a number of African countries, but laws are rarely enforced. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/6527619.stm

Originally posted by Northerner: Moves to marginalise extremists Those moves are bound to fail, because it doesn't address the problems that lead to extremism. The West is responsible for the occupation of Muslim lands, the massacre of millions Muslims, the exploitation of the wealth and natural resources of Muslims, corruption and mismanagement as a result of secularism enforced against Muslims, supporting thugs, despots and war criminals as leaders of Muslims, iwm.

Allright; the pictures I have posted are Port Sudan and Khartoum.

Tukaale, my thinking is you live in a major city. Most major cities in the West got pollution. Living in such a city over a period of time (+-10 years), one develops allergies, respiratory diseases or illnesses such as asthma, iwm. If you frequently drive, your job involves coming into contact with chemicals (home, factory grade, iwm), it can aggravate the condition. It also doesn't help what one normally eats in such a city; mostly artificial food.

Originally posted by Thierry: So let us ask our self’s is it because of Islam that Somalia and the rest of the Muslim is in such a pathetic state or the lack of it Of course, most definitely lack of it. The enemies of Islam plot, conspire and try hard to extinguish nowadays Islamic awakenings. However, they are only delaying the inevitable. Allahu Akbar.

Originally posted by Mudane: Bada Cas.: Su'aashada sifiican uma fahmin The question is based on the comment made by Elysian who claimed some are born better off than others. On what basis? Physical appearance, mental capacity, iwm. Does a quality in physical appearance or mental capacity constitute being born better off than others? What I am trying to say is, no one was/is born better off than others; only deeds determine who is better than the other.
