juxa! how are you huuno? aaliyyah, ee heedheh..it seems i cant pm you so how bout you save me the trouble of trying to do the impossible and send me a pm of just where in the city you've been hiding in. sounds good? awesome.

Pucca....Long time, horta assalamu calaykum dheh assalamu calaykum che...how have you been huuno? lol pucca run baa sheegtay ilaa xad yet a lil harsh ..but yeah I guess as much as the truth hurts trust takes years..anyhw missy how are u ..I havent seen u in Sol for like ages! I actually missed reading ur posts!.. i've been good huuno, how have you been?, na heedheh, we live in the same city...why havent i ever met you? this matter needs fixing, check your inbox shortly. 1. I have been Muslim for YEARS. Several years. Convert does not mean 'New Muslim'. First assumption. 2. Who on Earth are you to judge my Emaan? 3. I have nothing against marrying a convert, but why keep looking when I've found someone I'm interested in mutually? And there's zero reason for the whole thing not to go ahead, speaking from a reasonable and Islamic perspective. (Please guys, don't be annoyed by this.) 4. A Muslim is a Muslim. Muslim first, nationality/culture wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy later, if at all. Nationalism is haraam, some people really need to get their priorities straight. I'm your brother, not your "brother" in Islam. Respect that, or duct tape your mouth from fear of Allah. Simple. 5. What's done, is done. And why are you assuming it was me to approach her?* 6. I have never expected 'Oohs' or 'Aahs' at being a convert, in fact, when people think it's right to give me "MashaAllah! MashaAllah!" and act like I'm so good, I feel sick to my stomach. I hate such attention. But again, you assume I'm some kind of egomaniac...I guess any non-Somali intent on in 'taking a beautiful Somali woman' (refer to Jacphers post on page one) must be a terrible person. 7. I don't feel I can have 'any born Muslim girl', but convert/born Muslim is irrelevant. The fact of the matter is, this sister wants to marry me. This is a fact, and I want to marry her as well. 8. I'm not *****ing and moaning about being a convert no one wants, even if I was told recently by someone very respected in the community to expect such (he also called attitudes like those rampant on this forum 'diseases of the heart', and he's right. Go back and read what you guys have written.) 9. I worry for the Ummah, a lot. I hope none of you profess any kind of Islamic expertise. 10. Converts have our own community? Really? So it's okay for this kind of segregation in the Muslim community? Instead of sitting here posting nonsense, I do believe it'd benefit you to read ONE book, go to ONE class, or talk to ONE Sheikh in regards to this topic. Last time I checked, the Muslim Ummah was meant to be a united Ummah. No wonder we're in such disarray right now. Your opinion is the problem, sending us further from the solution. *It seems like all anyone on this forum has assumed everything about the story, and even at times ignored anything I've said before responding. Now, please, can someone with basic skills in comprehention read this thread? It'd be a Godsend. Honestly would be. 1. Mashallah, that’s good for you. Really, it is. Perhaps next time you introduce yourself as being the “new convert on the block” you should add a few sentences about how long you have been in the deen. Would definitely curb any and all assumptions. 2. Me? Judge you? Never! Heavens, judging your iman is so not the sort of the thing I would ever think to do. That is a matter between you and Allah. 3. Why keep looking you ask? Well I could give a number of reasons but how bout I just give you? Cool? Okay…the family does not accept you and you are only creating problems between the girl and her family. Be a good muslim and don’t break up a good family. 4. Whoa, did you just say nationalism is haram? Did you just take on the rule of law maker here and just make something HARAM? Where’s your proof? Correct me if i’m wrong but did Allah not clearly say that he has made us into nations? So if he has created us into nations, why then would it be haram for us to claim the nation we belong to? Do take a minute to do some quick thinking before you make that which is not haram, haram. And its never a good idea to play god. Never. And let me correct you here, you are my brother in ISLAM. Alhamdulilah I have plenty of blood brothers and those are the men I call my brothers. 5. Now aint that just a real shocker, are you saying SHE approached you? Heavens! I never was a fan of this whole new era for women thing…but really, do keep from puffing out your chest as if you have won some great thing. A miracle it seems happens at unexpected times…or perhaps its insanity and not a miracle at all. But anyway, good for you. 6. Did you just call Jacphers a ‘terrible person’? are you not passing judgements now? Even insulting the person? I really do not like people who accuse me of something they themselves do. 7. You should have known there might be problems when you set out on this path. 8. From all the posts you’ve written, pardon me for saying this but they sound like you are doing a whole lot of moaning and complaining. 9. You worry for the ummah? Why? And are you yet again passing judgement? Hypocrisy is a serious offence in Islam oh-brother-of-mine-in-Islam. 10. Let’s not get in over ourselves here, I didn’t just tell you to create your own community of fellow converts or that said group of people should be cast out and forced to form their own community. And honestly, if my posts are such nonsense …pray tell me what your posts are like? Do not question my comprehension skills or my intelligence. Now be a good brother in Islam and be less judgmental and do not expect things to go your way simply because you want them to. somali men have difficulties marrying their own fellow somali sisters....what makes you think the process would be easy for you, a complete stranger!? sheeko.

i get a headache every time i hear the old "parents say no cuz im a convert"...honestly, why dont converts marry converts? aint there a community of them out there? I mean its all good and mashallah that they've accepted islam but lets be honest, you don't a person...you marry a family. And they dont like you, ka soco...plenty of women out there. I'm not anti converts, but all these men who convert and suddenly think they can have any practicing since birth sister is just bloody annoying. dude, go build your iman and after YEARS of being a muslim....then maybe you can be accepted. lakiin a muslim for a month and i want to get married? sheeko...start fasting baan ku iri. ps. you should have asked the father permission to speak to his daughter first...woulda saved you plenty of time.

clearly i've been forgotten! *sigh*

Inan khamiis dheer xiran oo mashallah ah dee...lol

Today im going to update myself on whats been going on here since my last visit. *hello and wave to all*

Today i got a tad bit too comfy with a pair of scissors and kept snipping till there was barely anything left on my head. *Sigh* feels light and very ... different. just peachy.

The complaints about women "playing" hard to get really never made any sense to me. Its odd ya know, why do you assume she's 'playing'? It really isnt a game most of the time, if she aint interested she obviously isnt going to jump at your offer, she's going to tell you off. What you need to understand here is that women dont play hard to get, if she doesnt want to get with you ...its going to be hard for YOU to get with her. get what i mean? so really if you think for a second here...its not her thats playing a game but you. you are playing the hard-to-let-go-and-move-on game. Which is annoying, so stop it. Good luck with your next target.

looooooool oh i so see the potential. mellow darlin, you have made life a whole lot easier!

huh?

*wishful thinking* perhaps she straightened him out...perhaps he woke up the next morning missing some important parts. *sigh* perhaps she sat there counting down the minutes...waiting to get her hands on that perfectly sharp knife she hid in her bedroom.

how some people eat the amount they eat at iftaar time and manage to speak and actually stand is beyond me! i cant manage to pray maqrib properly if i drink more than a glass of water and eat more than a couple of bur. Ya know that feeling of fullness, where you feel as though you cant breath and bending down for suujuud is like the hardest thing ever? anyone get that? Its not even about gaining weight or losing it, its about getting full after eating a bit...you've been fasting all day, you cant possibly overload your stomach without feeling some discomfort, right? it cant be just me....right?

lol i know eh! na heedheh, i tutored a ninth grader the other day ...guess what subject? no no, it wasnt science...nope not english. ...*gasp* it was math!!! lol i've never felt smarter than i did in that 2hour session.

looooooooooooooooooo ooooooool i hurt for her! i do i do! thanks mellow

you're so WRONG!! that movie was great! not only did it have hugh xaax-man in it...it also had ryan reynolds in it too! such a beautiful movie with beautiful people in it ....great story line. if you watched ALL the other xmen movies...then this one would so connect everything and explain things. i personally LOVED it!

i live and breath Zara and H&M...i havent a clue where i'd shop if they suddenly left. *god forbid such a thing*.

Congrats huuno! wishing you a long and happy marriage inshallah.

today im sick of seattle rain...i MISS toronto!!!!

I loved it!! the dude with the red bandana in his back pocket can dance! (i was watchin him) i however did not find any of it 'arousing'..but hey, different tastes for different people.

Exams!

hmmm...why must i remove MYSELF when i was there FIRST? i think its an offense if one picks their nose in public or worst eats/chews with an open mouth....dont you? Its clearly a form of harassment! thanks for the advice...i'll think about it.

hmm...okay so next time i see someone chewing with their mouth open i should tell them to get away from me eh? or next time i see someone with their finger up their nose i should also tell them to remove themselves from my presence right? so much easier to just slap them...and definatly not with my hand(could you imagine the amount of germs that may be transfered?!!)...a whip of some sort would be nice.

oh yes i do asia...almost every single day i run into ****** people who seriously deserve to be slapped. If only i could give into the urge ...argh! damn the fear of being arrested. Its all thats stopping me...
