^You accusing me of being too western? In a way yes - Somalis love to discuss other people's business(yet profess Islam which says myob) whereas westerners don't. I don't approve of her morals or having a child out of wedlock with a non-Muslim no less. But then - we are not here to approve or disapprove of people's choices are we?

Somali style pancakes. Fried in oil. Suxuur - cornflakes all the time Afur - variety yes - and I don't cook - that's what family is for at Ramadan. Gosh! Men cooking? At Ramadan too? That would mean debasing our noble culture!

Can life exist in a male free zone? Hmmmmmm. Impossible.

^Bur ma taqanid?

It's one of those typically nutricious and energy sustaining foods that taste like cardboard. I stick to Cornflakes at suxuur.

Seems to me like a love story. Not too sure what is sad about it. Soldier of Fortune and Local Girl fall for each other Local girl and Bundle of Joy go off to be reunited with their knight in shining armour Local girl and Bundle of Joy enlist the media in attaining their goal Media picks up on the improbably probable lovestory and fawns all over it

^What? Could be a regional dialect that I didn't know about? You never know. Gabadhi world traveller ahayd doesn't know soor? It's ugali, mealie maize - the stuff they eat all over black Africa.

No afur(don't know where the n comes from in the title) should contain foods you have on a general day to day basis. No bariis no baasto etc. What's with the folks telling ppl to reduce their caloric intake at afur? W is rite - freedom is imperiled everywhere.

^The O-train is sweeping the country - no one can stop it! Dear Editor of SOL, A recent disturbing development has occurred on SOL. One Ngonge, a cynical old man with rabble rousing tendencies, has started a thread that purports to not only question but reprimand editors. This can only lead to chaos and anarchy and ultimately to the demise of the good working order of SOL which your person represents. I suggest nipping this in the bud with a spontaneous banning. Commander, SOL Jaajuus Squad (SJS) Somewhere in Cyberspace

Dadku jaqjaq badanaa! If Djibouti is a fantasy - it will become apparent soon enough. Meanwhile - there is dearth of any other reasonable suggestions or alternatives by the critics. Go figure.

And the beat goes on and on and on.....

^Careful there or you will go the way of the dodo. Even worse - you might get a lengthy missive from Oodweyne addressed to you. My - what 'busy' trolls.

^I am sure you newbies can come up with something more interesting *Today I dissed a couple of the newbies*

Happy Birthday Pujah! Hope you have a good one.

Awdal mania in full grip on SOL

Balderdash and Bunkum!

Good to see nothing much changes on SOL politics section

Here it is again: "I think Palestinians have had billions of du'aas going their way since 1948. What have they gained?" What an arrogant and presumptious statement. Duas are an account solely in the hands of God. And as Muslims - we believe in the worldly life and the hereafter. What, how and whether those duas are addressed is not something we can speculate on but we do know that supplication to God is a core component of Islam. And anyone who tries to undermine that by tying it to 'gains' in this world is missing the point. I doubt anyone is advocating for sitting on our hands and just offering prayers. Muslims should do more. But your comments on the 'value' of duas vis a vis the Palestinians is quite frankly retarded. How's that for a contribution? Ala, did you just call her statement retarded and asinine? What? And you are getting away with it? You couldn’t come up with any othe productive way to Contribute other than insult? Where are the Moderators? Nur, did you not see this? Cajiib. :rolleyes: So, what this means is that if you don’t agree with someone’s statement or opinion, It is ok to call the statements stubidh and retarded here? And the moderators are ok with it? Enlighten me, brother Nur Clearly you're unfamiliar with SOL rules. You may call a person's statements insulting words but not the person. There is a difference.

^LZG is a born contrarian. I say we all switch sides to Hilary and then we will see countless Obama accolades pouring from her mouth

^I see you're still referring to duas as 'ineffectual' - still missing the point. Originally posted by Naden: ^ This is my last reply to any post of yours as you are missing the very basics of adaab in conversation and expression. You have a long way to go before you are at a level to converse with me or anyone on this subforum. Madame Prickly takes offense yet again! My comments were harsh but accurate(and I am harsh only rarely on SOL). I see you didn't dispute their substance. And I referred to your commentary in a disparaging way not your person. As to my adaab - there is a whole record of over 1500 posts to testify to that - one only needs to take a cursory look rather than tune into your hasty assertions. I daresay we all make asinine statements - I know I have made quite a number on this forum. But there are few folks who would resort to the childish 'I ain't talking to you' unless the insults were directed at one's character. I, frankly, wish to dialogue and debate with adults not children so I bid thee adieu.

Originally posted by Naden: ThePoint, why the adolescent eye roll? Grow up, man, and contribute if you have anything to contribute. Ameen, it is all well and good, brother, that tough situations test a group's resolve. It is also well that we wish them (and other oppressed people) a speedy end to the suffering. I am not speaking about you or me as individuals as much as I am speaking about us as a group. We are told in Friday prayers, TV shows, books, and hajj to pray for the oppressed, and yet genocide continues to be visited upon them. I think of 8:153 and 13:11 and wonder if we may be on the wrong track. Actually - I was quite restrained given your asinine statement which you've conveniently sidestepped.

Haha. Gazans can barely stay alive but these guys are worried about this.

^How the hell would you know what they've gained? :rolleyes:

^Hijackers

Pujah is rite - the random dhash is necessary to keep things in line!
