I think its best if you keep your self hate to your self, we don't need people like you in our community.

Is that supposed to hurt me? I support a classroom of kids back home and am a mentor to several here in the diaspora, what exactly are you doing for this so-called "community" mr self-styled Dictator?

 

Piss off. Getting all butthurt because I'm exposing the hypocrasy. How about you stopped worrying about who X or Y is humping and start bettering yourself? All that acid dripping from your mouth and ears will erode you as a person one way or another.

 

Just remember that I don't need your damn approval or recognition.

Chimera, go back and read what you wrote,

other 1.5% are male/female reverts or

belong to specialised professions such as science, entertainment, sports etc.

If therefore you aspired to become an astronaut, there is a very slim chance that you would encounter a fellow Somali there, and so the possibility of you marrying one of your non-Somali colleagues or someone you see in that scientific environment everyday is very HIGH!

I have seen many like you with low self esteem, and self hated attitude, you are scr3wed up!

LOL @you taking everything literally, here is the real meaning from Urbandictionary:

 

BUTTHURT: An inappropriately strong negative emotional response from a perceived personal insult. Characterized by strong feelings of shame. Frequently associated with a cessation of communication and overt hostility towards the "aggressor."

 

Basically you getting all emotional about a girl that doesn't even know you makes you pathetic sxb, keep shedding them tears;

Does that mean if you're Somali man/woman engaged/married to a somali woman/man but work with non-somalis then you'd cheat on your partner simply because they are not astronauts like yourself? never mix business with pleasure ayaan maqli jiray!

 

I doubt the lady in question would use that as an excuse because there are thousands of Somalis who work with non-somalis and yet still CHOOSE to marry their own and I can use myself as an example...I've never worked nor studied with Somali girl and NO I'm neither an astranaut nor a sciencetist, however, I've never ever been with a non-somali...the point is, you choose who you want to be with. I can't do anything about who she chooses but I'll be lying if I said it doesn't bother me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't give a monkey's behind about him...I haven't finished grieving over my fellow Somalis.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wish I never read this story.

No, I welcome this outpouring of emotions and hatred towards me, it has been beneath the surface for sometime now, I guess the floodgates opened when I exposed the double standards. That's fine with me.

 

It only vindicates my inner warning system to never tell anyone the truth about my personal life, career and projects, whether on the forum or in PM. With some of the disturbing characters roaming here I'm very happy I never did.

[Som@li]

Bob, well said, there is a group of people, who think to cross the boundaries, to become someone, and to be accepted, they have to marry from white etc. and it is more of a self hate than a choice.

I have great respect for you BOB, but you're looking at my post from a Black or White persepective i.e its either this or that, when that was never the point of my post. Can an aspiring Somali astronaut marry a fellow Somali? Most definitely YES, does this mean when a Somali astronaut decides to marrya non-Somali he/she has spend most of their early life in Uni and in the professional field with - be seen as a surprise? NO!

 

That was my point when I replied to Taleexi, because he believed I was in his words "greenlighting" such marriages, when they are totally out of my control.

stop being butthurt sxb. and take the criticism at the chin and shake it off.

[Chimera]

Axmed, If you think a united army of closet-misygonists is going to make me feel "butthurt" then you're very delirious sxb. You are attacking an internet-name, the moment I log off, you guys are no longer there, in fact the moment I leave this topic your not even on my mind.

 

Let's keep things in persepective shall we, this is nothing but light entertainment for me.

My BROTHER the respect is MUTUAL.

 

We'll continue some other time Insha Allah...Good night.

 

May the sister find her Faarax in shining armour...she has no idea what she's missing.

Say what you like, but this lady does not lack talent!

[Taleexi]

Perhaps I'm the odd guy among the crowd whose therapy session is long overdue. I ended up in Scandinavia in my tender years after the civil war broke out in the motherland. And, I'd lived most of my years there with foreigners and even spent four years in a boarding school at some point where I was the only Somali, yeah I intermingled with my friends at the time for symbiosis' sake but always wanted to settle down with Xaliimo, times change so, do we, and my days in North America are also still counting and to your surprise my position has not altered a bit. However, my litmus test when it comes to marriage is if the couple are Muslims then there is no problem although I personally prefer the same species harnessing the fruition of a union. My brother married an Irish woman, very lovely woman who converted and speaks even Somali well but still.

 

Coming back to Chimera's intake on this issue. I've to agree with you partially because research shows one who has not met someone by the times he/she graduates, he/she is going to marry some i-diot from his/her work. It's that simple. Well we all know how they get animals to breed in captivity, they are put in the same cage..sorry to everyone but time to face reality. With that said, there is a religious component involved in this case and I just can NOT take it lightly nor none of us should.

 

Jacpher: Agree bro one's name alone isn't a proof of his faith.

 

PS: If Idil is a Muslim and, she just made the wrong move on this one she can still make a U turn, can't she? I must say though I admire self-made people and she appears to be one based on my biased observation to some.

[Archdemos]

I read this story and immediately felt sorry for the poor girl; I mean she was going to start a family with this fella:(. Yes the fact that he may not be a muslim crossed my mind, but that was a fleeting momentary thought. Two exceptional men were killed that day Chris and Tim, I can’t help but think people are focusing on an irrelevant issue. There are too many unknowns to even to begin to speculate. Additionally I don’t concern myself with others choices in life, not my place to judge. Let’s keep it cordial gents.

 

Idil is a talented young lady, who is making some worthwhile films on behalf of the community, go to her website and read about her. Respect her decisions in life (within limits of course, think Ms Hirsi).

 

I only wish life was as black and white as some of you paint it here. The reality I’m afraid is so much more complicated.

[Che -Guevara]

Chimera....Whatever the circumstances are, things are black and white in Islam when it comes to the issue of Muslim women marrying non-Muslim man. That said,we should give credit (not that she's asking from us) her body of work and success-kudos to the woman. Anything else is between her and the Man upstairs.
