Photographer's girlfriend pays loving tribute to her 'Timinator'

[Alpha Blondy]

divine intervention. idil will move on but that photojournalist is dead. now she needs to find a somali man or 'our' theory that she's a self-hater will be true. I suspect, lakin, that she'll end up with another white man.

 

we need to ask ourselves why so many of our woman are chasing white men. is there something that a white man can do, that we cant do lads eh? white people have no sense of humour, have poor hygiene and and walking around with a sense of entitlement. how they must think 'our' women are cheap and easy, but if i were in their shoes, i would have no regrets every-time. like in the novel - Season of Migration to the North.

^Way to be racist there. Y'know the same can be said about Somalis. I can sense your misogynist side slowly seeping out of you when say they think we're cheap and easy. You're one for the books! Adding on to the many examples ee gabdhaan nigu naceen

Great question to ponder about there. Alls I say is, step your game up and perhaps the Somali women out there whose eyes are wondering outside the Somali force field will venture back. Perhaps the problem is not them but y'alls.:confused:

Supply and demand at its finest. Anigu waa ka dhaqaajiyey hadaynaan isuba nasteexayn karayn. Somali girls have choices but when we are taking about marriage Islamic jurisprudence should be conformed that is if the couple are Muslims. Talent is one thing but people need to see trees from the forest when it comes to practicing Islam.

Waa waxa laygu yiri, assumptions are the mother of all sdn ʞɔnɟ. The more years go by the more I agree with that saying. I'm sure darn well none of us here know Tim or Idil on a personal level to be throwing around assumptions about their faith and relationship so it's best we keep our unwanted calumny and libel to ourselves. Just sayin' .

[Chimera]

Che, I just explained the circumstances and why it makes sense. Put a Tiger in a pack of Lions and that is where this alien cat will find its mate. I don't know Idil or her religious orientation, but I very much doubt had this Tim been a Muslim she would be received more kindly by some of the members here.

 

Ethnocentrism leaves no prisoners.

Idil ayaa dooratay jidkaas its up to her, ama cadaan ha doorato ama chineese. Dadka caaynaya waxaan uu arkaa dad maseyrsan, let it be dadyahow.

There are 105 users looking at this thread. OMG!

Nothing new here! Typical somalis obsessing over other people's personal lifes.

[Somalina]

Meesha waa laysku karbashey.

 

 

Well done Chimera.

[Jacpher]

How come most of the replies here are way too damn negative or too positive. What happened to meel dhexdexaad?

 

Chimera: You managed to throw Somalis under the bus to get your point across. Well done mate. I am being sarcastic dee. Wax iskula har.

 

I agree with Taleexi. The discussion shouldn't be about idil or personalities. It's pointless to argue about someone's fame, success or the kind of lifestyle they lead. What matters, I think to some of us is the diinta angle of the discussion. Without condemning individuals, girl friend/boyfriend relationships are alien to our diin and culture. I know I am stating the obvious here but I think the talent and the success highlighted in the story blurred this piece of information from some of us. The little I know about Somalida, they're conservative community so whatever success, fame or rank, they remain secondary to diinta.

[Chimera]

You don't honestly believe that do you Jacpher? There are around 500 000 + innocent Somalis burried in the ground and the oceans. That alone shows you that the true essence of our religion has been relegated to a secondary or a tertiary position by Somalis plenty of times and this continues to be the same today. Had the previous generation observed their ancestors' religion and kept the country together, talented individuals like Idil would be working for the Somali Film Agency in Mogadishu, where the likelyhood of her ending up with a Somali would be 99.9%.

 

However she like many of us was forced to scatter around the world and now we intermingle with hundreds of different ethnic groups and nationalities. Why be surprised that relationships will form between Somalis and these ethnic groups? There are Somali guys who are dating women that have Buddhist and Hindu backgrounds; religions they continue to observe. Does this surprise me? Not really, these guys either grew up in Indian dominated communities, or are into things like Martial arts.

 

I don't see the point in badmouthing these individuals when they have not committed a single crime on a fellow human being. Everything else is between them and Allah swt, and nobody else! Similarly Idil has not committed a single crime, to see her being badmouthed like that is hypocritical, when that same individual was praising actual criminals on a different topic, hence my anger.

 

Idil is a great asset for our often misrepresented and demonised community, for she has the passion and knowledge to provide a voice for Somali-diasporans, a void the likes of Axmed, Rampage and Alpha-blondy will never fill, as they are too consumed with "who's dating who" or "revoking the Somaliness card" than trying to uplift our people.

 

DISPLACED (Working Title): In Production

 

<!--

 

 

-->

The feature-length documentary, DISPLACED, takes viewers inside the close-knit and often misrepresented Somali-American community of the twin cities of Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota. The story unfolds amidst FBI investigations into the disappearance of at least twenty local youths allegedly recruited for war efforts in Somalia. With exclusive access to families of the missing youths and other key community figures, DISPLACED reveals the tragic impact of war and its capacity to reach across borders, impacting the lives of those who have attempted to move on.

 

BTW: girlfriend/boyfriend relationships were common in prewar Somalia, and very much part of what could be considered in hindsight as young Somali Urban culture, so the culture you're referring to is not monolithic.

adam, don't include me in your lists. i'm no longer looking for validation. perception are two fold; what you think of yourself and what others think of you. stop trying to appease non-somali people and in the process distorting somaliness for the consumption of others. its one think to write on a pathetic forum but its quite another to be in the field taking part in the action. your commentaries are becoming more mundane and tedious. cheers.
