LOL @ habarta. How about when someone called you nayaa and you response 'Don't call me naya, i am not your naga.'

qix qix qix..Allah barka, We can't possibly be related to them.

You have someone to talk to Libaax finally...LOL

On the issue of stealing, when the man is responsible for earning. He's responsible for the expenses, for the food and water. He is the one who has to pay the rent, he is responsible for the alimony, he is responsible for feeding his children. Maybe circumstances forced him and Satan tempted him, and there is a woman like hell behind him; she never has enough. She wants to change the furniture, change the lounge every year. And behind every man who is a thief, a greedy woman. She is pushing him. Not our women in Australia, the women of Canada. The hall up there is full. They are the women of Canada and Mexico, the ones who encourage their men - to do what? Go! Get me! And no matter how much he brings her, she wants more. She wants to change the car, and change ... Of course, the woman keeps demanding from her husband more than his ability. Either she will tell him to go and deal in drugs, or to go and steal. What's more than that? Spend as much as you have! You know your husband, upside down! If you demand from your husband more than his ability, then what does that mean? Who is the one who would have to become a mafia? A gangster? And steal cars? And smash banks? And deal in the "blue disease" (drugs)? Who is the one who commits these crimes of stealing? Who? The man or the woman? It's the man. Once again blaming the women for everything a man does, a man who is a thief is less likely to have any woman who supports him. Could we close this case, we all know the mufti was out of line that is why he apologized! So men start taking responsibility for your actions, and lower your gaze like you are told to when it comes to non-Muslim women. They are not Muslims, for that reason they won’t dress modestly nor are they forced to dress so, and no you CAN'T RAPE THEM!

I think you losing your hearts and minds with the CNN shows on fashion and Beer Ads, because they persuaded you that freedom alone (according to western interpretations of freedom) is what you need to strive on. I don’t think you are in any position to tell me just what I am losing to CNN; as a matter of fact I don’t even have the time to watch CNN. You are trying your best to avoid the issue in hand Mr, but I should tell you that you aren’t fooling anyone. I attack and despise the west more than you will ever know. Nevertheless what I despise more are people with your type of mentality, who support muftis that are completely out of line when it comes to certain subject. I strive on my own freewill my mind is the one that serves me. Saying that women are to blame for rape is wrong and you know that damn well! I can say, the western propoganda owns you for good. Too sad, that you can't even look like a typical white chick with the usuall western characteristics. I think you need to peel off your skin just as Micheal Jackson did to make him acceptable to the white man. Will you look at that, now that I summoned enough energy to question and challenge the mufti I am a western wannabe? That is a cheap shoot won’t you say alle? I am trying to understand my own kind and you are assuming once again that I am wishing to mimic others? It is unbelievable. You are comparing me with a kufar, me as a Muslim sister, who just so happened to have stated that the mufti was out of line for blame rape on women. You are a sad vermin. It is men like you that cause my muslim sisters more harm than good. I have to send you my condolence for your loss of Somali way of life, and the pride that your great mother has taught you during childhood! So Somalis believe that if a women gets raped it is her fault? If that is the Somali way of life, then I don’t want it. My mother has taught me self-pride, and I will be dammed if I blame myself if I get raped. God forbid. May you die a heart-attack in an Islamic state and then go to Jannah, aameen! I don’t want your useless dua. Everything I do is between me and Allah. Neither you nor some mufti chauvinist. I will not waste another second with a man such as you.....wait till your sister or mother get's raped, then we will see if you will blame her or the pig that violated her. And don't give my sister or mother won't get raped because they are cover-up line. If a man wants to rape her he will, even if she is in her own house. Salaam old man

You are obviously talking like a feminist who had no regard to the dignity of men. You can't speak off your mind, since the western propoganda against Muslim men had sipped into your little mind. What a sad creature! Excuse you, if I am a feminist what is the mufti? I don’t need western propaganda to know what is wrong with Muslim men today. It is as clear as light. Dignity, What dignity are you speaking of? Do men even have dignity these days? Left and right women are being abused, on one half as sex-slaves and on the other half as the blame-carriers. This mufti is comparing me with a piece of meat. Be a man and take responsibility for your own actions. Western propaganda is fed by your mufti friend who is taking islam out of context, not women. And you are the sad creature who thinks it is perfectly fine to rape women just because they show little skin and agree with this lunatic mufti! Pitiful...ufff

Muslim men are turning into animals, that can't control themseleves and enjoy blaming everything on as women. Is the west wrong when they say muslim men are outright disrespectful to their women? In some muslim countries women get killed for getting raped, where is the justice in that? And we have some men here that are trying to explain to us in an excusable manner what the old man had to say.

Horn of Africa may be next terror front By CHRIS TOMLINSON, Associated Press Writer Sat Oct 21, 11:35 AM ET NAIROBI, Kenya - From the Red Sea to Lake Victoria, the Horn of Africa is one of the few places in the world where, if careful, a traveler can move 1,400 miles across four countries without producing a passport or encountering a single government official. These footpaths, back roads and rivers have been used for centuries by merchants and slave traders, explorers, smugglers and bandits. Rebels easily sneak around the central governments in the big cities. So could any traveler. Even a terrorist. Corrupt governments, porous borders, widespread poverty and discontented Muslim populations have created a region ripe for Islamic fundamentalism. The Horn of Africa, home to about 165 million people, is roughly half the area of the United States. The six countries that make up the Horn - Somalia, Sudan, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Kenya and Djibouti - could become the next major front in the war on terrorism. Kenyan police earlier this year caught a smuggler trying to bring in an anti-aircraft missile. Kenya, and Tanzania just to its south, have already been victims of al-Qaida terrorism, with the bombings at the U.S. Embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam in 1998 and attacks on a hotel and an Israeli airliner in Kenya in 2002. The attacks emanated from neighboring Somalia, which has had no effective central government since 1992 and has a growing Islamic fundamentalist movement. Western and regional diplomats, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the topic, said they believe another terrorist attack could be imminent. Robert Rotberg, director of Harvard University's Program on Intrastate Conflict and Conflict Resolution, said every country in the region is at risk because radicals see an opportunity to take advantage of weak, unpopular governments. "Governance and the standard of living are so low in that part of Africa," Rotberg said. "There is certainly a possibility of meddling in troubled waters." Ethnic Somalis are the common denominator in the Horn of Africa, and their large presence in neighboring countries has long been a source of conflict. In the mid-1970s, then Somali President Mohamed Siad Barre advocated expanding the country's borders to unite all Somali-speaking people in Kenya, Ethiopia and Djibouti. Despite a disastrous and short-lived invasion of Ethiopia in 1977 and political anarchy since 1992, Somali nationalists and Islamic fundamentalists still advocate this Greater Somalia. An ethnic-Somali insurgency continues in eastern Ethiopia, led by the ****** Liberation Front, a small group that mostly uses pipe bombs or small-scale attacks to advance their cause. Governments in the Horn of Africa have watched with concern as the Somali Transitional Federal Government they helped create in 2004 after two years of peace talks has been eclipsed by the Islamic Courts Union, led by an elderly cleric, Sheik Hassan Dahir Aweys, who is committed to a nationalist, Islamic regime and allegedly has ties to Ethiopian rebel groups. "The comfort zone is to look at Somalia as being far away and hope that the problem will resolve itself somehow," Kenya's Minister for Foreign Affairs Raphael Tuju recently told the U.N. General Assembly. But a Somalia with no government in place "is a danger not just to neighboring countries but to the whole world." Ethiopia, Africa's second most populous country, has sent troops to the Somali town of Baidoa to prop up the official government, which is also backed by the United Nations. Despite the support, though, Baidoa is the only part of the country the government controls. The African Union, a continentwide diplomatic bloc, has also authorized the deployment of 8,000 Ugandan and Sudanese peacekeepers to protect the government and stabilize Somalia. But with Aweys and other Islamic leaders vehemently opposed, and no rich country ready to pay the bills, the mission has not moved beyond the planning stage. The Islamic militants' sudden ascendancy and popularity have shaken the region, and the ripples have reached the United States and Europe. The United States urgently formed the International Contact Group for Somalia in July to deal with the sudden rise of Islamic militancy and to politically support the government. Mario Raffaelli, Italy's special envoy to the former Italian colony, said he believes the struggle between the transitional government and the Islamic Courts Union for control of Somalia could ignite a regional war, drawing in Ethiopia, Eritrea, Kenya and possibly even Sudan. "The change in Mogadishu has changed the whole regional picture," he said. "And made it much more dangerous." U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Jendayi Frazer has accused Aweys of sheltering al-Qaida suspects believed to be responsible for the bombings in Kenya and Tanzania. U.S. diplomats also fear al-Qaida operatives will persuade Aweys to turn Somalia into a haven for international terrorists. "Somalia has been a collapsed state since 1991," said Rotberg, an expert on the Horn. "It obviously opens up some territory for al-Qaida to meddle." But Aweys has rejected comparisons with Afghanistan's Taliban regime in the late 1990s, which sheltered Osama bin Laden while he planned the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. He has repeatedly said he has no contacts with al-Qaida and is interested only in bringing peace and prosperity to his country. Residents of Mogadishu, though, have felt the Courts Union's hard-line Islamic law which is reminiscent of Afghanistan. It has started public flogging of convicted felons and publicly executed a convicted murderer by firing squad on Sept. 22. Fatima Mohamud, a 34-year-old housewife, said she welcomed the peace the Islamic militias have brought to the capital, but as a follower of Somalia's moderate Sufi form of Islam, she is not comfortable with the Courts Union's fundamentalist interpretation of Islamic law.

Well Allah have mercy on my people. They are good at killing each other like dogs.

Amin to that BOB It should be us who should be thanking you, for taking the time to write these beautiful poems and sharing it with us. You may not know but you have encouraged and influenced many young people to keep hope alive and have faith…..Thanks EID Mubarak, hope you have a great one and stay safe in South africa. May Allah protect you and your loved ones from harms way. Nice poem masha'allah.

Their violence and envious behavior against foreigners is unacceptable. They have no right to kill Somalis that had nothing but the shirt on their back when they came to South Africa and are working hard to survive. Africans only know how to hate on other Africans.

LOL, i can't believe he took the time to look for the man so he could only physcially assualt him......He got mad about some few words they exchanged in a chat room.....Anger management

So it is more of somalia-bantu culture rather than a somali culture. I don't know why people are mixing the bantu culture with the somali culture

Are those wooden roofs i see???????? hahaha This should be in the jokes section.

Who in their right mind would depend on A/Y when it comes to Somalia issues? Is the man a leader that is worth protecting? If he was a leader that wanted absolute peace for Somalia and its people, then he would have taken the right actions in bring peace and having opened dialogues with the people in Mogadishu. If you are a leader that is for the people, then the people without any doubt will follow your lead regardless of what tribe you are from. But who are you kidding a warlord could only get support from other warlords. If we take A/Y out of the picture we will have the ICU running the south, the puntlanders running their territory and S-land doing the same. Surely as time went by those three states could have came to a common ground, besides the chances of a united Somalia will be a dream almost come true.

Khalaf It isn’t about the way they portray Muslims alone, but they link Islam to everything that a Muslim does. When they portray Muslims as violence, head-chopping barbaric people they also portray Islam in that sick inaccurate manner. They paint Islam as the main source of the problem. As a Muslim I know that is not true, but we have other non-westerners that will misinterpret Islam in the wrong way. They are using our own actions against us. I don’t want to give them that satisfaction at all But insha’allah Allah will guide as all and protect us from these wick people who plot against as day and night…And insha’allah the west will fall because of ISLAM! Salaam and Ramadan Kareem nomads and non-nomads

Khalaf you put forth an excellent point. What does the west say about disrespecting and using freedom of speech to anger certain individuals? The west is starting to abuse their privileges, particularly freedom of speech to incite Muslims. I believe i have the right to react anyway i want when the west makes the decision to use blasphemy. Does a person have the right to use violence or react in a hostile manner if someone exploit’s freedom of speech to insult and ridicule religious or sacred individuals or items?

I really didn’t know Italy and French were Islamic countries. When I say muslim countries I am referring to the countries where Muslims are the majority. Khalaf, we all take our religion seriously and as a Muslim I am obligated to protect and guard it from blood sucking-leashes. However I am not going to fall in their mind-trap. Don’t you see that they wish to portray us as uncivilized people, who only terrorize and abide to violence? Iran had a little contest were they drew pictures of Jews and Christians I believe. There was no outrage whatsoever from the west, you know why it is because they knew that Iran was simply trying to provoke them. The veil will never be banned especially not in British. These are kufar countries that fear Islam more than they did communism. Islamic countries should tell non-Muslim women to wear the veil if they wish to come to heir countries. Because it is absolutely hypocritical that the same freedom loving individuals are telling people today what to wear. Are they intimated by Muslim women wearing veils in Christian countries, the same women they said were oppressed had preferred to wear their Islamic dress even when some of them were born and raised in the west.

You really do not expect me to get all angry about the work done by a mischief maker do you know. I am laughing at their idiocy that is all. They are “shitting†all over the Muslims. I don’t think you have noticed it yet. These riots are of no benefit to Islam. Every Muslim should be outraged about this. But we are forgetting that Allah can punish this kufars. If riots take place then it won’t profit Islam or the Muslims in general. What is the use of Muslims destroying properties in their own countries and burning flags?

Seeker you are right, Muslims need to fix their own countries before demanding anything from Christian countries. If Muslim countries had more concern for their citizens then Muslims won’t have to immigrate to non-Muslim countries. But since our leaders are corrupted puppets that only go after the green we are left with countries with low literate rates, poverty, few infrastructures and ignorant masses that don’t know their own human rights.

UH OH!!! Time once again for rioting,violence and murder!!! Danish TV shows cartoons mocking Prophet Mohammad 2 hours, 43 minutes ago COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - Danish state TV on Friday aired amateur video footage showing young members of the anti-immigrant Danish Peoples' party engaged in a competition to draw humiliating cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad. The video images have surfaced little more than a year after a Danish paper published cartoons of the Prophet that sparked violent protests worldwide. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20061006/wl_nm/denmark_cartoons_dc;_ylt=AttRDNJX0oQELdtem0Dz5htvaA8F;_ylu=X3oDMTA0cDJlYmhvBHNlYwM-

BOB stay safe, and May Allah guide you and your family.

Some eritrean you are, but thanks for the support. And insha'allah the ICU will clean the house. Somalis need an Islamic nation.

Masha'allah thanks kashafa. Muslims are helping the poor of the richest nation on earth.

Why all the fuse the women section is still there, isn’t it?
