They were seeking a fatwa? Oh, I am so humour-done now. What the heck does 'they were seeking a fatwa' mean exactly? Does writing and debate Islamic topics in forums make one automatically a suspect? Not that some of us are not already. Does going to Somalia for a family visit make you automatically an Al-Shabaab fighter? What about receiving calls and speaking lengthily to actual Al-Shabaab members on the ground in Mogadishu? A big big suspect? Well, I am so-humour-done now then.

Anyway, whenever you have time brother please show us the plagiarism you guys talking about and if it is about the "sacred" names of the film characters then thats another story and another topic. Ninyow, answer the question I asked first. Then we can move on to the other issues I raise. It's a basic question that begs no evasion. Yes or no would do. No further nonesense is necessary. Abwaan, outright copying waa wax la gartay, and whosoever does copy ma aanan copy-garayn lama soo shir tago. To tell us that something evidently borrowed isn't what it is is to pull a wool over our very eyes. For all I care, I don't mind if they copied 99% of the original story and said we did it kas iyo maag. Taasi waa raganimo cad balse markii lagu meereysto sheeko aanan jirin waa doqonimo. PS: The original fictional story might be just that: fictional. But for someone, the story is not about where its author hails from or some such nonesence. The story, to some, is disturbingly real, bitter and close to home. And I really don't give a flying monkey what others say about my protests here. The dim-witted short-sighted to understand that sometimes fiction and fact overlap and those who've gone through an ordeal similar to that of Ali Maax, the only relief there is in tragedy is the beauty of language with which the tragedy is told. So literal integrity matters. Heck, it's the only comfort in what is only so human stories. Ibti, wax loo jawaabo ma tihid. Waad fududahay.

Abwaan, watch what exactly? One has to be able to get past the title a little deeper before watching the whole thing. I watched the trailer expecting a work that is literary as beautiful as the original story but found a totally different story. And a shot of Bamburi beach didn't help. The camel ride on the beach didn't help either. The basic question to the proponents of the film is this: has or hasn't the director of the film borrowed specific names (Ali and Awralla) from the original story? If he did, then let him/her pay due credit to the source. If the agument is that he HASN'T then that's altogether a different issue. I for one don't have anything against the film-maker/s and wish them success, but it really doesn't help to claim there isn't a respect for others' work (however rudimentary that respect might be).

^Allamagan, sxb with utmost respect, I am in no position to reply to you due to constraint of time. However, I think Libaax's post speaks for me. Further, as Dabshid has already pointed out, this particular topic has had it's day in SOL forum. A repeat would be futile. FYI: I don't have a problem with you finding it expedient to turn the issue into regionalism. It's your best way of theorising discussions, I suppose. But the name 'Ali and Awrala' and 'Ali Maax and Awrala' don't sound similiar to you? The other quick point is, if you look at the themes of both works, what is the operant denominant theme? Ibti, you are too young to have read, understand and cherished 'Aqoondaro Waa U Nacab Jacayl' and thus your view of this is, I am affraid, handicaped. Have an elder friend or person read and explain the story to you. Juxa, lool. I like print dear. Perhaps that could explain my distaste for violating the character integrity of classic stories in print. Insha-Allaahu, markeey kuwa aan diyaarinayo dhamaad noqdaan ayaad ila akhrin doontaa.

Crap plays, as usual, right? At least they did achieve one thing...to kill the original story.... that original story should not be plagiarised again!
