You'r entitled to your belief but science stands.Vagueness doesn't work in today's world.It's show me..how to put a crash victim back together! how to disassemble the spongy web-like brain & pick a tumor, how to fix a radio or even artificial insemination.What religion saying, is take it or leave it & in islam don't question or u definitely end up in hell which itself needs to be questioned..What & where is hell..or does anyone know we might already seen hell on earth & there is no more to it in after life.Everything is questionable,and as long as religion stands in the way little could be accomplished.The west have put bible in it's place centuries ago & that's why they dominate the world with science.Evolution might be fact or fake but certainly compatible with current technology & worth contemplating. I'm inclined believing...... Your post is hilarious. Your understanding of the Quran/Islam is quite amusing. The Quran is a book of guidance. It's not a history or future book. Why stop there, why not tell us of future inventions we have yet. You're whole is just silly. Go look up the Islamic Golden Age and the contribution Muslims made. Back then in the West, if you said the the Earth was the centre of the Universe, you'd have been killed. Science was not allowed to flourish, but it was flourising in the Islamic empires. I doubt the "West" would be in the position it is now if the Islamic Golden Age didn't come about. In Islam you do question. Go on youtube and you consistently have Q & A sessions right after every lecture. There are a variety of Islamic Question and Answer websites and there are forums where. The prophet all the time was questions, where do you think we got all the hadiths from? His wife Aisha would always ask him a variety of questions. People would come up to the prophet and question him or ask him question. How do you think people convert? They ask, question and look at the evidence and come to the conclusion that the Quran is the word of God. Of course there are people who will leave Islam. That will always happen. The story of Ibliss is one we should learn from. Ibliss rejected Allah's (SWT) command to bow down to Adam, despite clearly knowing that God existed. Why? Because of arrogance. The fact that there are people who understand Islam clearly and in-depth and know the whole Quran, but still reject it. Doesn't shake my faith at all. Now you and others might now accept Islam, but if you know and understand the clear message of Islam and reject it and you die in that state, then what reason do you have on the day of judgement when you're asked why you rejected your lord or didn't believe in him? Is your answer going to be "You didn't provide enough evidence". Really? After the final prophet for the whole of mankind was sent down, with a book to guide you, with no errors, contradictions or inconsistencies? Do you think the concept "nothingness after death" scares me? That there could be nothing? Of course not. But I believe there is a god and the Quran was not a book written by an illeterate desert man, especially since it was produced orally. Meaning there was no drafts. Once a surah came out of the prophets mouth, his companions memorized it immediately.
  2. Garnaqsi;740850 wrote: That's strange. May I ask, do you have any scientific reasons for this exception of man from evolution? Can you please give me the name of a theory that got proven which then consequently became a fact? I'm pretty sure that the earth circles the sun was a theory until it was proven to be a fact. The point is, the Quran states we did not evolve. Let's then say I did believe in that, were do we stop? The Quran states Jesus was born to a virgin mother. You know that's impossible. In order for one to be pregnant, you need semen, right? Furthermore the Quran states two unseen angels are on your shoulder. Where' the scientific evidence for that? So an so forth. There's enough in the Quran to suggest that it's the word of god. I don't believe such a book was written by a 7th century illiterate arab. There's no mistakes, no inconsistencies and no contradictions. If the Quran however said the earth is flat or the sun evolved around the earth, then you'd have a point. However it doesn't. It simply states that Adam and Eve were created separately and weren't part of the evolution process. If science suggest man is 100,000 years old, we accept.
  3. I agree with mos theory of evolution except of man. That I do not agree. People who say evolution is a fact, it's not. It's still a theory. On top of that, think about it, if you can't believe in the Quran telling you that mankind was created independently and differently from other creatures, then how can you believe in Jesus and the Virgin birth? That isn't scientifically possible. A woman cannot get pregnant without semen. Yet we believe in that. The Quran tells us that there are angels on our shoulders, where's the evidence? The Quran is not a book of science, it's a book of signs and faith and the two aren't mutually exclusive.
  4. What pisses me off is, why does the council allow it? Why give them these houses? Surely they knew that Daily Mail will find out, they love these type of stories. Why not make them live in a smaller house or a hostel?
  5. Did anyone else like me when they first heard the news of the Oslo bombing, pray and make dua that it was not a Norwegian Somali? You know, like the British Pakistanis who committed the bombings in the UK? I was so relieved that it was some blonde Norwegian and not a Somali or even a Muslim.
  6. Wow, interesting. Shame I wasn't around to see it.
  7. Huh? Indian embassy school? What was that? A school for Indians? Also, did Mogadishu have a lot of non Somalis there?

  12. Right, as you're aware I made a thread about it yesterday. I can't seem to edit my OP, so I have to create a new thread. Well, I just listened to his interview on Radio 4, which he did today and when he was asked if he was a muslim, he said clearly, yes. Didn't pause or anything. listen from 8 minutes and 20 seconds http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b012fc5l/Front_Row_Frank_Cottrell_Boyce_on_the_final_Harry_Potter_film_Rageh_Omaar_on_The_Life_of_Muhammad/
  13. There's now a mini discussion going about it on twitter
  14. Axmed-InaJaad;733119 wrote: rageh waa nin muslim ah, nothing else to it *Blessed;733124 wrote: Muhammed, if he changed his faith wuu sheegi lahaa. As far as you know, HE said that HE was a Muslim. He did not negate it and this is not the first time he mentioned his Islam. Why do you insist on otherwise? Twitter gossip does not take one out of the fold of Islam. Bisinka! Coincidentally, I was talking about Raage with someone last night-- pretty excited about his upcoming documentary on the life of Prophet Muhammed (SAW). Hold your horses you two, I'm not saying he isn't a muslim. I'm just saying, the way he answered that question was odd.
  15. N.O.R.F;733092 wrote: Can't watch the programme but let me know if its available on youtube. I'm guessing he was just flabbergasted the interviewer asked him the same question twice. The 'yeah I was brought up as a Muslim' answer is slightly odd though. Was this part of a deeper discussion on Muslimness perhaps? Nope, it was a very simple yes or no question. Holac;733093 wrote: We should all not take our great religion for granted if we are not perfect Muslims. I interpreted his replies as Oomaar avoiding to be seen as carrying the baton of righteousness or acting like a hypocrite. Being a true Muslim carries great responsibilities and he knows he is not perfect. Omaar is a Muslim. He said it in the interview. That is all that really matters. I know he said he was a muslim, I even read an article in the Guardian which he states he is a muslim. But, maybe he changed his faith? I came across a person who was a muslim up until February this year and then became an atheist. The way he answered that question does make you think. Like I said, I wasn't the only one that noticed it. If you go on twitter, you'll notice a few tweets of people who picked up on it. *Blessed;733102 wrote: It's a silly question considering the fact that he (Raaghe) wrote a book entirely on his Muslim British identity. It even says so on the title. You'd think the interviewer would do some background research and have some basic facts about the geezer at least. I'd be miffed if I was Raaghe and perhaps he was taken a back. Well the interview knows him well. They both used to work for the BBC. Also, when did he write his book? This year? No, it was years ago. People do change. I just find the way he answered that question, odd.
  16. Xaaji Xunjuf;733059 wrote: Well he was raised as a muslim and he said he is a muslim so what is your point. Can you not read? My point was, did you not find it odd how he answered that question. Like I said, watch the video and you'd get the point. The transcript doesn't do it justice.
  17. Did anyone watch his interview today? Watch it here, the interview starts at around 34 minutes - http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b012mhqx/The_Andrew_Marr_Show_10_07_2011/ Transcript of par of the conversation Andrew Marr: Are you a Muslim, yourself? Rageh Omaar: Yeah! I was brought up as Muslim, Yeah! Andrew Marr: Are you a Muslim, now! Rageh Omaar: Ah! I am a Muslim, Yeah! Andrew Marr: Yeah! you are! Now I'm not saying he isn't a muslim and you may be also thinking, what's wrong with that? Well, watch the video to get a better understanding. The transcript doesn't do it justice. The way he said it was soo awkward and his response was cagey, even after the interviewer asked him the question a second time. Unless you're pretending to be a muslim, why would you reply like that? A muslim would have simply replied back and said "yes, I am a muslim". Did anyone else watch it? What did you make of it? I read a few twitter comments and they picked up on that as well.
  18. Please keep posting pics. I never knew Mogadishu had so many Europeans.

The fact is regardless if Uk opens an Embassy in Somalia, they support somaliland and will make sure Somalia does not cause problems for us. But for now Somalia burns and Somaliland shines. Cheers lol Wow and you seem glad that your fellow Somalis down south are suffering. Are you getting some kick or enjoyment out of it? It's not a game you know. I don't want Somaliland to separate and become a country of its own, Yet I don't wish any bad or ill towards it.
  21. Not Somaliland (hargeisa) but Somalia (Mogadishu) if Somalia can get rid of Al Shabaab and force them out of Mogadishu. New British embassies are to be opened in El Salvador, Turkmenistan, Madagascar, Somalia and Southern Sudan as part of a radical redrawing of Britain's international diplomatic map. The Foreign Secretary will use the first anniversary of the Coalition Government today to outline what he termed "the biggest strategic diplomatic advance by Britain in decades". He revealed details yesterday to a meeting in London of hundreds of British ambassadors and high commissioners, who were told of major changes to their network of embassies and consulates abroad. The new strategy, announced in the Commons today, will be partly funded by projected cuts of £100m from running costs and another £40m from the budget for Foreign Office and British Council programmes. The initiative will include additional staff being sent to the emerging powers as well as the "Arab Spring" states of the Middle East and opening embassies in Africa, central Asia and Latin America. Consulates will be shut in France, Germany, Spain and Italy. Foreign Office sources insisted consular services in those countries can be provided by embassies and trade offices would operate from business centres. Further savings are expected from Afghanistan – with the handover of security to the Karzai government starting in July, the numbers of staff can be scaled back. Among the locations for new embassies, El Salvador has been chosen for its relatively healthy economy and "friendliness" towards Britain; Turkmenistan has its mineral wealth and a strategic position in a volatile region; and Southern Sudan recently seceded from Khartoum. The UK will also establish a presence in Madagascar, which is on a democratic path, possesses untapped natural resources and a growing tourist industry; and Somalia, which has become a violent centre of Islamist insurgency. Plans to open an embassy in Mogadishu depend on security improving. Missions in the Middle East and north Africa, such as Tunisia, will have enlarged missions. The embassy in Tripoli will be enlarged if and when Muammar Gaddafi departs. Britain has a team of 20 diplomatic and military personnel in Benghazi, where the opposition administration is based, and this, too, is expected to be augmented. The overthrow of dictatorships in some Arab states and the emergence of pro-democratic movements has opened up political and commercial opportunities. Around 50 additional staff will be sent to China and 30 to India. The Foreign Secretary is expected to tell MPs that it is essential for the UK to keep bolstering relations with the two countries and there will be a focus on dialogue relating to trade, terrorist threats and the environment. Mr Hague told diplomats yesterday: "We want to promote the long-term interests of Britain as well as to make the right decisions about immediate challenges, and we want to extend and strengthen Britain's influence overseas... By 2015 we must aim to be a Foreign Office that is lean and efficient but configured to match the realities of the 21st century." Senior diplomats who attended yesterday's meeting broadly agreed that cutbacks in some areas were inevitable if the Government wanted to carry out a diplomatic drive in economically straitened times. However, one senior official warned: "We are told that a lot of this is based on being in place to plug into the geopolitical landscape of the future. But what has happened, especially in the Arab world, shows it is extremely difficult to predict what can happen in the short term let alone the long term. We are seeing very much a shifting scene." http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/foreign-office-makes-diplomatic-push-with-string-of-new-embassies-2282112.html
  22. Do you know how corrupt and poor that country is? A few pictures here and there won't hide it. The majority of its people live below the poverty line. Elections were rigged and anyone who dares to criticize the government is hushed. The BBC did a documentary on it recently.
