Zaylici, this enlightenment you are reffering to stems from my deep seated interest in theology (especially Caqiida: Metaphysics). So, it would be just boorish of me to diferentiate between my intellectual prowess and religious enlightment--unlike some I am not secular in my thinking; besides pure reason is quite a folly, read Critique of Pure Reason by E Kant.

I can not believe I wrote this bull.

Roll it baby! I am enjoying this far too much. But I see lots of holes in your arguments (Mukalim "I hope you are not Muctazili" and J11). Continue chaps.

Call me an oldie but isn't this a bit off the wall? Why waste the much needed space of SOL?

All my topics? It would be silly of me to respond to your allusion; mate, pick a fight with the willing bunch Okay

Let me put spin on to this. Is there a possibility that Darman and Lakkad are the same person with different personalities? Just thinking aloud-- I hope this is allowed.

What a congenial male muscle flexing bravado this has been Samurai, with sheepish admitance, I am at you mercy. My ability to recognise the above mentioned verse is something I am deprived off today—perhaps due to excessive reading of tortious liability (something Postman would be very familiar with). So do penn down the rest of the limerick.

I think it is all about childhood dreama! always dreamt about the spires of Oxbridge! oh well, now I am here Walahi it was worth the wait. Idil, I agree with you sister, environment matters to some. But if you like me, ignore these tophs and be more snob than they; they will soon find you "agreable". Check my uni out Libaax sankataabtoow: www.cam.ac.uk or its law school www.law.cam.ac.uk

One wonder in aghast state as one reads some of the postings of ostensibly coherent writers heaving what seems to be nothing short of imprudence about the art of writing and composing fiction. Granted the Secrets (the only Novel which contains bestiality and incest), one is challenged his intellectual detachment from Somali emotionalism—I for one thought as piece of Lit, Secrets occupies in the same shelf as Ulysses is resting;however, I hold those things (bestiality etc) are at bare minimum repulsive; but this does not mean I find his work paltry, on the contarary I think he is the best Novelist living (of course I am being bias). Anyhow, let us just wait Cawralo’s writings; we are all looking forward to it. Sophist Nabad

Girls just watch out.

This is very profitable man. You should do it. Couple weeks ago a guy from my college with the name of John put up his friendship for sale! and some crazy Indian in London bought it for £20. I am sure your idea is more marketable than this silly glinch

The boys at Johns are known for their geeky personalities; but this happening in their college must be a shocker (the richest College in Oxford) Spy cam in uni showers A HIDDEN camera has been discovered in a shower room at Oxford University. The sneaky spying device was found in renowned St John’s College — where Prime Minister Tony Blair studied. It was suspected on Friday night that students had been transmitting pictures from the camera to a home computer. Girls at the college were said to be “panicky” as an investigation was launched. Senior college dean Tom Kelly said: “I am deeply concerned about such a serious matter.” Check it out

It would be silly of me not to admit my phobia of going to run of the mill Univ in England. Come to think of it now that I have tasted the Oxbridge How to get into Oxbridge) education; I trust my thirst for this sort of education was indeed worthwile. I say always aim for HIGH; maximise your potential and you shall reach the sky--metaphorically speaking of course; centuries ago somalis had done that to get hold of the Sky Camel. Sophist Nabad

Che...1 Lama huraan waa Cawka Jilaal (Laakiin hade Naqa waa lagama maarmaan). Thank you guys again.

Nur, No I haven't. I will check it out this Summer Insha Allah.

Lakkad, not at all.

Salaams, Cawralo, deareast, it would be with great bliss to read your looming Magnum Opus. With exultation I shall review every single sentence worth deciphering (trust by the time I am thorough your work; it leave you with a clement prospect). Come on entertain us all. Meeshan ayaantaan Roob kama uusan da’in marka noo raaxee abaayadiis.

With great expectation we wait your writings-- perhaps you can write a taster here? Turst me I won't be harsh when reviewing

Waeyee Northener, isaga uun baad soo dhoweyn miyaah! I wonder the Burco thing might have to do something! just kidding. You shall tell me about that get together won't you.

The writer is sham, he is using other people's names to post silly incomprehensible articles.

Nur, I concur brother. Educated women should marry less educated boys and vice versa. This will create a balance in our society--- I wish I could follow this advice myself (I just shot myself on the foot. Also Ibnu Taymiyah never got married and Imam Ahmed Ibnu Hambal got hitched at 40. Rahima, Sister, where did you get the idea conraceptive being Haraam? There was Ictizaal at the time of the Sahaba and this was common practice. Never did the Prophet denounce this-- I am sure Nur will correct me.

Is he aware of himself? Uum, this is very philosophical question which I can not venture into. I shall leave that to you; or perhaps I should address the same query to you? Who does he write for? I asked him this question years back when I first saw him in London. His answer was; those who have wondering mind. Those readers who have refined taste (he was grinning at the time) ; I mean those who like highbrow literature. And highbrow his work is. I then commented about his tortuously convoluted (this is something he would actually write) sentences which most Somalis would have difficulty understanding. He replied, largely, as I said I write for mainstream English reading literati; I am sure there many Somalis who would enjoy my writing; but mainly I do write for specific sort of people. As you know certain novel writers deal with issues that the mainstream would not appeal to. Perhaps Mr Farah is Intellectual snob, but hey that is not a crime either. But he is a hell of good writer. It is indeed beyond the pale to compare him to that hideously nauseating creature with the name of Weris. He is world class intellect and she is World class to but for whole different thing though!!

Morgan is as criminal as Ina Mire, Ina Kaahin Habane and Dhagaweyne. Let us not be blind guys. If you think these men are not criminals then don't be astonished when people ACTUALLY say Morgan isn't a murderer but indeed a hero for the Somalis--just like these men are heroes for their kinsmen.

Geiid and Miskiin Macruuf Akhiyaar, Waa mahadsan tihiin walaalayaal. MMA; looking forward to hearing from you mate.
