Yaaaaaay! Alhamdulliah. Students get such a crap deal, 21 and eyewateringly in debt, such a crap way to start your adult life. Get wotever it is that is on your wishlist.

Ng, did you go to the dear motherland? How was it? Did JB and Marx take care of you?

Ahhhh, though my heart is breaking @ Marx, congrats walaal and may Allah bless you with a happy union.

Both original and edited are ridiculous. The photoshoped one should at least come with some commentary, makes no sense at all.

What a beautiful day, alhamdulliah, makes me wonder how happy I would be if I lived in a sunny place

There should be a point below which ppl should be afraid to go.

Morning all, free lattes in Starbucks til 12 today, wanted to tell them my name was chubacka and spell it for them but queue was too long.

Looks like a place you could spend a few lovely afternoons.

So I am feeling generous and I have decided to buy SOL its own book shelf, as a further testimony to my generous nature I am welcoming all members to add a book of their choice to the book shelf. So one member one book. The Quran is already there so you don't need to add it as your choice. my choice. Beautifully written novel about an unusual hostage situation.Read it if you get the chance. Bel Canto Ann patchett if image is not showing

I found most of it hard to believe, esp her early life in Somalia, wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

^ Hehe, wots with the one eye?

Is it me or are the suggestions getting more and more implausible? Haha. Nunne I think u wil have a fight on your hands if u try to name any of your daughters. Thanks all.

Aa.. Habaryaarteeda... Thanks for your duaa, Ameen iA. Thanks ppl, *B jst not rejecting anything at the moment, Tasniim is beautiful.

Salaams all, I need some kickass baby girls names pls. Muslim baby names websites not that helpful. Iam trying to give my sister some suggestions. Get going SOLers. Thanks in advance.

^ Who are the jihadists, the people who disagree with the banning of the niqab? In that case does that make the Frence businessman who has pledged to pay the fines incurred by any muslim woman in France because she is wearing the niqab a jihadist too? You dnt have to be muslim to see that this was a cheap tactic to appeal to the growing anti muslim/immigrant feelings in this and other European countries.

Good morning all, have to take the kids on residential. Cue headache, sleepless nights and exhaustion. Wot a long its going to be.

Hehehe. Maha true but Iam sure crazier things have been bought by these Arabs.

^ I saw this and was confused the first time, I can't say this strange rant to yourself is any clearer now. We know you love attention but don't do it at expense of others.

If it is in the public domain - I don't see why commenting on it should be a big deal. While the act here is not comparable to welfare cheats - the point was that once it becomes public - commenting on it, like the welfare cheats, is not unfair. I think to say their pastime is disgusting or xaram is not overstepping. Anything further than that would be. ElPunto, You can hate their pastime as much as you like, anyone can have an opinion about women chewing that is not the point I am making. Placing such a picture in a discussion forum (most probably without the consent of the women in the picture) is only encouraging name calling and the attacking of these women which I think is far uglier than what they are doing.

ElPunto;789992 wrote: Why is it no one's business what these ppl do? We comment all the time on what ppl do here - Somalis stealing welfare etc. Is it because they're women and you see them being picked on? Erm last time I knew stealing welfare was xaraam, illegal and gave Somali families a bad name in their respective societies, its not surprising people would be quick to condemn it. How is that comparable to women chewing and smoking in private? Many people might hate the idea of women smoking and chewing but that’s neither here nor there, you can’t police what adults choose to do in their own time. All that will result from such a discussion is the individuals, who I assume did not consent to their picture being put on a public forum, coming under personal attack which really shows our small mindedness not theirs.

"even the thieves in his village follow him on Twitter" hehe.
