^ correct. There is no mistake here sayid .. Baanka is a dialect in SL. similar to how reer SL say Masgiidka instead of masjidka ... and reer xamar make it plural and say masaajidka even though they are referring to a single mosque. you have to account for regional differences.

this is cookie cutter journalism the last few years all you had to do was write a few lines of rubbish and sprinkle it with Islamist, Jihad, Al-queada and you were garaunteed to be published .. this author has managed to squeeze all of the favorite buzzwords into the article title alone ... now that is overkill.

Ghelle sxb there is no way around the fact that this is a technically inferior product with a big price tag. and yet there will be people who purchase this as a fashion statement of sort.

Originally posted by Naxar Nugaaleed: there is no way to proof God's existence just as it is impossible to disproof it. I actually agree with Naxar on this point .. there is no way to proof (the scientific meaning of the word) the existence/non-existence of God if there were a definitive proof, everyone would either be Muslim or atheists and this whole discussion would be irrelevant. There are many miracles and signs that Allah has mentioned in the Quran, that if you contemplate them deeply you will realize that Allah is the creator of all. religion is a matter of belief/ Iman The dictionary definition of the word is: confidence in the truth or existence of something not immediately susceptible to rigorous proof Dacwa to atheists will only work if they are willing to keep on open mind otherwise it is an excercise in futility i.e I jiid aan ku jiidee waa gacmo daalis For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who don't believe, no proof is possible -- Stuart Chase

Originally posted by cynical lady: it always amazes me how society is soo acceptable of men adapting to modernity and when women do so its viewed as a process of westernisation/cultural crisis. are you serious ? war ilayn no matter how absurd the cause, you will find someone to champion it. Modernity ? this is deviant behavior nothing modern about it. This is not specific to women they have all been cursed (men who dress/act like women and women who act/dress like men) not every issue is about how the evil men are subjugating poor women you know. 1631. Ibn 'Abbas said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, cursed effeminate men and masculine women." In one variant, "The Messenger of Allah cursed men who made themselves look like women and women who made themselves look like men." [al-Bukhari] 1632. Abu Hurayra said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, cursed any man who wears women's clothes and any woman who wears men's clothes." [Abu Dawud]

very clever piece ...

Dajiye I find this whole thing to bit a bit dishonest. this is no debate .. as per your wording Al-shabab is already a threat to you. what in the world do ONLF have to fear from Al-shabab .. doesn't make sense to me .. or are they just jumping on the "terrorism" badnwagon ... which has been used successfully against ONLF .. case in point MARX a supposed somali is referring to ONLF as terrorists. these brave young men sent the tigre filth running .... worst case scenario for ONLF they are the enemy of your enemy .... best case scenario two independent groups with similar ideals .. cleansing their land from foreign armies.

^ many more important things are missing from this device. - No flash support (Netflix, etc) - 3G is included in only the most expensive version - onscreen keyboard that takes up 90% of screen space when you are using and has no tactile feedback. - a measly 64 GB maximum storage capacity - lack of integrated SD card slot - no USB ports - no webcam - No multi tasking ability so it lacks the features of a good smartphone (camera), and many features available in the lowest end netbooks (USB, Fireware, large storage space, multitasking) and worst of all the cheapest ipad costs 2 times as much as the low end netbooks (~250) for the privilege of having less features. even if you get the version that supports 3G you are now saddled with two separate .. data bills (phone 3G + ipad 3G). It is not small/convenient enough to fit into your pocket/palm nor is it good for setting on a table .. imagine watching a 2 hour movie while holding up the tablet .. 1.5 lbs can get uncomfortable after some time. EDIT I forgot to include my pet peeve .. the damn non-removable battery.

I remember watching this the day it come out late last year and was amazed. and I found out that humans actually have between 9 ~ 12 senses not 5

don't you guys you should at least let him in on the joke ? Peacenow Maryoolay = Somali people yes .. now you may join in the laughter

"iPad: apples new feminine hygiene product ... It helps stems the flow of Data" cant remember the review site I read this from today .. lakin kilyaha i xanuunay sidan u qoslayay

maalin/galab wanaagsan reer troll. I've only had positive run ins with Somali .. well except that one time I offered islaan weyn a ride to the mosque in sub-zero weather and she refused as if inaan wax ka rabo.

MAX here is what baffles me sxb. the people referenced here are not 12 year old children unable to make their own decision.. these are law graduates, medical graduates ~25 years old whenever a young, patriotic somali joins Al-shabab or contributes his/her skill to the jihad you assume they must have been brainwashed, duped or forcefully recruited etc. you assume their age and education should have given them enough sense not to join Al-shabab what you do not take into account is the exact opposite that precisely because of their education and age and common sense that the prospect of contributing to freeing their homeland is so appealing that they do not have to be brainwashed. just like a typical naval gazer it is incomprehensible to the writer that this is a grown person, who thought this through logically and wholeheartedly supports their goals and wishes to contribute to the noble cause.

There is so much ignorance in this article it is amazing they printed this garbage. whether you agree with Al-shababs goals (I do) or not there is a world of difference between the Nigerian bomber who travelled 3000 KM to blow up a plane (offense) and a legitimate resistance movement (defense) that is trying to overthrow a puppet government put in place and backed by a foreign mercenary army. continuously conflating these two completely different matters and sprinkling this worthless excuse for journalism with a choice few of the current buzzwords Alqueada linked, islamist, terrorist does not make his points any more valid.

hmm you may be right horta yaan ku dambaabin maybe when they switched to x86 architecture things have changed lakin sidaan ku ogaa it was a black box system you could not fiddle with. but there still remains a substantial difference in costs when compared to pcs/clones.

very clever no walaal, not quite yet but soon inshalah.

some superstitious festival that reer afgoue hold every year goes on for 3 days they believe if they do not hold the 'istun' the crops will not grow next year. basically two qabils oppose each other in mock combat with long thin sticks .. the battlefield is on the bank of the shabelle river ... the losing team is pushed into the river and next year they attend wearing an article of womens clothing. there is even a small magic show by the 'baxaar' where he talks to his alligators/crocodiles it sounds dry when written like that but it is alot of fun
