assl all wr wb So Juxa gets pissed off, looks at his son and says.. “ Son, there is no way in hell we can satisfy everybody, lets just do what we think is right and screw them people” I concur and add BE A MUSLIM

assl all wr wb Yes, i heard this somewhere. yes, it was this UK govt adviser, a Blair adviser who claims that the threat of climate change is far worse than Islam (terrorism)! Bizzare! Has he been recieving telegrams from God or what? How does he know it? I say crap. How about this for an answer: "kulu man calayhaa faan, wa yabqaa wajhu rabbika dul jalaali wal ikraam" As for taking care, there more pressing issues than the climate, i.e. feeding the hungary and helping the critically sick people of the world (3rd world) you (WEST) deprived of their resources. Salaam.

assl all wr wb Boy that was beauty! Seen those Red shirted boys' backs was simply BEAUTY! I am not a crazy football fun, but I cant resist enjoying the downfall of Utd. Man, they stink, from Red Furguson to the twins. I dislike them. Bye bye English football, welcome the pure beautiful game of football by Spain, Italy and Arsenal (yeah, and Chelsea. Hold up, dont think I am Arsenal fan, I like their football and they play better than Utd, so does Chelsea. Football is not about the winning. It matters, but that is not for me. What matters is the game. The tactics and techniques of the players.....man. Utd doesnt equate to Arsenal in that respect. Bless the Spaniard side. Peace <<<<cleared my chest.

Assl all wr wb How could anyone with a sound mind put Mohammed Ali and Beckham in the same shoot and call it the 'greats'? Beats me! Apart from Sport, Mr Ali stood for something tangible, e.g. fighting against injustice etc. Come on now!

Assl all wr wb Rudy, what on earth where you on about? damn! didnt get a word! What did the pregnant lady do? MIS graduate? Ok, i know. I need to go to Ghetto school. No problemo. By the way, manay people here are contributing some good points. But not really what I wanted to hear. I wanted to hear some personal staff. Something unique.Something increadible that touches one's heart in a moment of doubt. Something that you and I, the Somali, could share and associate with. I didnt want to hear general stuff. You really just have to ask yourself: How badly do you want it? How long? I mean how long can one ask him/herself to ask this? Ilhaam M, thanks. You have been true to our current lives and May Allah help you with your fine tries. P.S. Rudy, I like you. You are one funny, fine brother, but take it easy with your style of writing. Most of us, certainly MOI, dont get it, sometimes.

Assl All Wr Wb Since the forum posts are generally good mannered(on the whole) we might as well have a chat room. What do you guys think? P.S. Idea has been brought up before, haven't seen it since, anyone heard/seen anything? Salaams.

Assl All Wr Wb How do you motivate yourself? What makes you keep going, with all distractions around you? What is your secret ingredient, do you care to share? Please share your valuable secrets with your bros and sis. Thank you.

Assl All Wr Wb The debt, free trade etc, these are all mechanisms that replaced the slavery. None is gonna change, unless Africans educate their people, understand from individual level what they have to do to get out of the vicious circle. I think it is just a trap. The more you look into or listen to the so-called 1st world's run institutions policies, the more one simply despairs. So, Africa needs to forget about expecting others to sort their probs out. May be something like the Cuban system will do. Highly educated, and self-dependant. Of course, we need transparent governance, but that can only come about when people are educated , i.e.low literacy. I guess, it will take centuries to break away from the circle! P.S. Waaq, isn't your name "God"? and if yes, is that OK for a human? probably a muslim?..correct if i am wrong. Salaam.

Assl All Wr Wb Aadan Cadde gets my vote. why? 1. Democratically elected 2. Adminstered probably fairly 3. Handed over power without any struggle 4. Never bothered with power again And we are talking about the birth of Somalia as a country! That is a politician of the highest class for me. P.S. I made my choice without any clan bias. Salaam.

Assl All Wr Wb Disill; walaal aad baan u jeclahay inaan somali ku qoro, laakiin ujeedkaygu wuxuu ahaa olole 'nooleynta afkeena' ah. It takes an exceptional individual to swim against the tide, And I am NOT. Btw, maxaa dhacay ood u diida inaad da'daada sheegto, mise waxaa tahay 39 jir, going on 18 yrs....lol. Keep on revealing! Salams.

Assl All Wr Wb Tuujiye, waxaa tuujiso ma aqaane, I am not the sort of man that ducks when I need something. I am go-getter. So, thanks NOT, bruv. Salaams. P.S. Hibo,leave me lone....lol

Assl All Wr Wb Cilmi's love was definitely a true love. And the evidence is in his poetry, specifically this one: (dont remember it all) The scenario goes that his people (tribe etc) gathered a selection of beautiful women, just to make him forget Hodan, instead Cilmi's response was: .....(only remember the last few) ...Qosolkaa yar yari waa waxaad nagu qaldaysaane, inaan Eebahay idin qatalin, qariya laabtiina! How could a man with lust say to a selection of beautiful women to such words? Dont think so. Cilmi loved his women and his was not a lust. And was a perfect symbol for the saying: IT IS BETTER TO HAVE LOVED AND LOST THAN NEVER TO HAVE LOVED AT ALL (some hate this saying, but I like it). That is all, folks. Salaam.

Assl All Wr Wb Athena said it for me. It is all about understanding. That is if you are know why you are there for. If not, if you have a good memory, put it to a good use by memorising the important areas of the subject. But, pour moi, nothing beats understanding. I enjoy tests/exams when I understand the question and have the answer right there in my head. It simply is pleasure. Finish early and stare at the teacher as tho you are saying you havent given me enuff challenge! Salaams....

Assl All Wr Wb Libaax, there is a background story to the quote and adds more meaning to it and is really funny. Salaam.

Assl All Wr Wb Allah-u-Akbar. Yaa, Nuur, you never seize to amaze me with your wonderful and craftul thoughts! Allahu-uAkbar-u-Laahu-Akbar! May Allah (SW) increase your mizaanil-xazanaat to your services for His Deen. Btw, Nur, how many degrees do you have? One day, you are using I.T analogy, the next Accy! Any chance, we have Mr Hawkins in our forum or even better? Salaam.

Assl All Wr Wb I admired some of the views of the people who've responded. In particular, that of Bambina. I could say that she was in touch with reality, she aint living 'Kuukuuland'. I think it is knowing what you want, in this case, who you want, identifying and going for it. And it is a charecteristic that few possess. It takes balls, specially for a lady [men are not exempted]. And of course, the application of Islamic way of going about 'learning & decision process' is dependent on one's Deen stance. To: Nin-Yaaban, Walal a great depends on the situation. There are a lot factors for you to see in that situation to come to a conclusion, I think. After all, this is the age of the 'brave new world', right? Allah knows best. Salaam.

Assl All Wr Wb What I meant about parents talking about sex is that they should emphasize on abstinence,not only on the no-no about sexual intercourse but also regarding the touching , the kissing.Believe many teens still dont know that kissing is even haram. Walaal, Islamic morals and knowledge regarding this should suffice in covering the areas you mentioned. But what I was NOT suggesting was to do it the Western way, i.e., sexual education and all the physicalities. Allah knows best.

Assl All Wr Wb SubxaanAllah! Bahrain, a predominantly Mulsim country, having such prog as 'Big Bro'? I am not saying that 'bad stuff' dont happen in Islamic countries, but you all know, nothing as evident as this and aimed at the public, supposedly a muslim public. Allahu Akbar. Allah knows best.

Assl All Wr Wb Let us be honest here. 'Let us kill the Gaal, and give credit where it is due, that is, of course, after we killed the Gaal'. Some what he said are true. the fact that private businesses and privatisation in general is the backbone of somalia. He has also pointed out that 'some of these business people might hinder the progress of the establishment of a central gov't'. So, looking at these points, he has hit the truth. As is usual for a Gaal, he went into the western 'dirty' and shared his fear of Islam, i.e., rise of radical Islam. And the usual hint of their old tricks 'divide and rule'. One minute for Pan-Somalism and next minute supporting succession of certain regions of the country. So, I would say, he fairly scores here. Salaam. ----------- GeelJire Geela Waa Wada Jiraa, Waana Kala Jiraa. - Genius GeelJire.

Assl All Wr Wb Isn't it a fact that all this 'X'-Land, 'Y'-Land thing is another way of covering Qabiil. Isn't that the case in SLand v Pland? It is all crap. If they want peace, and that means anything to either entity, they should consider what people of the land want. bottom line is, let us all support PEACE and forces of PEACE. It is time we realise our power as the people and get our priorities right. PEACE, after all, is what we need as people and country, NOT bloodshed and hostility. Let the people decide NOT the will of the so-called guys at the top. They had enough chances, now should our turn. P.S. Good job to the Admin brothers.

Assl All Wr Wb What a topic! I agree much of what you said, brother. We did have male/female relationships back in Somalia. Back then, we didnt call it 'boy/girlfriend' thing. But we kind of knew it as 'x and y are 'saaxiibo' (friends)'. For this, it meant something for each couple. Some were really bad, some good and some normal. But generally people had a goal in these sort of relationships and it was marriage at the end, if it works out. Whoever said we didn't have it, either didn't live in somalia long enough to comprendra how we did things over there or is living in a state of denial. About the Halal thing. Why not? As long as YOU, the people involved in this ting, understand Islam and PRACTICE or are extremely good cultured people, then it should be fine. But remember, things are far more tougher than they were back in our land. We didn't have a culture that used sex to promote everything under the sun. Basically, a sex attack. And they know it, it works, and we know it, it works. But it only works on those who are weak in their faith and values. What I am saying here is, it is better to be objective and clear-minded. In a relationship for one reason, and one reason only, and that is to settle down and have my own family. Again, I am not really sure that we should talk to our kids about sex. How about morals and ethics of Islam. I am sure that includes abstention. But the method that these Deen-less people do it, I would NOT suggest at all. No way! Much said...Salaam & Love for each other.

Assl All Wr Wb MaanshAllah, it is a wonderful news, brother. It seems the entire British aristocratic members are turning to Islam. But one thing I hate about the article is that the writers are sort of implying that Islam is a product that Muslims are promoting to get more non-muslims to convert. Nay, Islam is Allah's deen and we are basically there to convey the message to anyone who would listen. And this people have heeded, thus embraced Islam and saved themselves An-Naar. Which reminds me the ayah: 'Wallaahu Qaniyun canil caalamiin' = You are not doing anything for Allah, one is only saving his soul from Jahannama. Btw, JizaakAllah for sharing. It is good news. Just shows that Islam is not for a particula sector of society. It is there for anyone that Allah (sw) leads to.

Assl All Wr Wb Yeah, heard that! And you aged how many years, if you dont mind me asking......yeah you do mind, dont ya? What is up with all these people? They all ducking...I AM GONNA SMOKE YOU LOT OUT! Does carpet-bombing ring a bell? that is why i am about to start if you dont reveal your ages! Seriously, what are you people afraid of? That people are gonna do a profile of you or you giving too much away? What is it, tell me? Uncle Geeljire is here, sure you can tell me!

Assl All Wr Wb Since education, locations and the likes have been covered, I thought I should bring this up. However, one thing should be clear. One is respected with his intellect, but not the years he/she has lived on this Earth. Which reminds me the old-age somali analogy: Village elders gathering at a tree and getting all the elders of the village to discuss a matter. As usual, the venue was under a shady tree, top of the tree was a youngster. He heard the elders saying to each other, 'let us get all the elders', which prompted this remark from the youngster, they didnt realise he was there, "you should be gathering the intellectuals not the elders". And the elders accepted the truth in the youngster's comment. The point of the story is "age doesn't have to matter, what should matter is one's intellectual capacity". Time to reveal the years........ Btw, I am 25 [old, right? I know} ---------------------- Geeljire geela waa wada jiraa waana kala jiraa. [Politics of the Baadiya]
