  1. Please enlighten us Lazy (or whoever is using her account)(as we clearly have no idea)
  2. I didn't see the Arsenal goal. Tarawiixdaan aadey on 83 mins. Just saw the result and I'm gutted. Good performance from Masch (as usual).
  3. City were a joke at the back. BIG game tonight!
  4. Originally posted by NGONGE: That mosque is not that important when one looks at the Guantanmo trials and how one can go to jail for fourteen years for simply having the misfortune of being the cook of Osama Bin Laden. The whole Mosque idea is pointless from start to finish really. I see you have found an angle Obama didn't send a drone over Afghanistan afterall. He sent one over Pakistan instead
  5. Saxib ninkan Tuujiye thought Chelsea was a City before 2005 Tuujiye, it was only West Brom saxib. We will see how your team of pensioners do against the big boys and how Drogba does against Lucio in the CL again lol Caawa daawo the real deal
  6. Eat small amounts and have just about enough to survise the day ahead. This will vary depending on how much fuel you will use.
  7. You can't rely on Micah Richards and Toure to get you to the CL.
  8. Originally posted by N.O.R.F: City might get into the top 4. I withdraw the above statement.
  9. He did but probably made another call and sent a drone over Afghanistan while enjoying Ramadan sweets.
  10. Mario is not going to do anything special but City might get into the top 4. Tuujiska, are you now a City fan saxib? Waan iska ognahay you was an Arsenal fan before 2005 lol
  11. There I was expecting a couple of videos on Ramires but was met with the old funny man Bruce Forsyth
  12. The mosque has been there for a while in the current building. Nothing new there. Where people are confused is concerning the proposed new building which would mean the current one being demolished and a new state of the art building being erected. Stop being apologists and embrace what you're entitled to (the building of a mosque).
  13. Bought the new decoder (HD) but can't get the channels Hindi yar baan u yeedhi
  14. ^I said they did 'better' . Performances don't count at the WC. Results do.
  15. Originally posted by NGONGE: Yes I did. It was against a rubbish team and there was nothing at stake (other than the manager's reputation). I still insist that England would have faced the same outcome with or without Capello's mistakes. War raggo waa wada fulayaal dee. The same bunch of players did better in the previous world cup. There are murmurings coming out now about a military style camp with Capello as the dictator They choked because they were afraid of the coach

  17. For suhur, some Muslims stop eating a while before Fajr athaan (Imsak). This is usually 15 mins before the athaan. Others eat until Fajr athaan. Sheh, just before 7pm
  18. Tough yesterday. Not so bad today.
  19. He did make some mistakes. He even admitted it himself. I'm sure he refrets not taking a left footed winger, not playing 451 vs Germany and wishes Zamora stayed fit (did you see his performance in the 2nd half?).
  20. Yes, you will remember this result just before the next WC when Brazil get the US in their group and you will conclude that Brazil will win it
  21. The article is 100% correct. Good analysis lol. Capello is thinking: Why didn't I play that system? Why didn't I take Adam Johnson and Ashley Young? Why didn't I play Joe Hart?
  22. Diary: Fasting means to better yourself Anna Seaman Last Updated: August 11. 2010 12:35AM UAE / August 10. 2010 8:35PM GMT ABU DHABI // Nearly two years ago, I converted to Islam. It was not exactly a well-trodden trail for a blonde English girl who came to the UAE to pursue her career in journalism, and, depending on who was listening, my decision was met with shock, elation, disdain or distress. Although my story is long and pitted with tangents, Ramadan takes centre stage in its telling. Today is the first day of that month, the ninth in the Islamic calendar; , depending on the lunar cycle, it is 29 or 30 days long. It is mandatory, with some exceptions, for Muslims to fast between the hours of sunrise and sunset for those days. Until three years ago, I had no idea why anyone would do this. It seemed ridiculous. But then, on holiday in Egypt, someone enlightened me as to the psychological concept behind Ramadan. It was about restraint on every level, he said. Not only were eating, drinking, smoking and sexual intercourse forbidden during fasting hours, but so were things not so easy to measure, such as malicious thoughts, swearing, shouting, lying and denouncing someone behind their back. These shouldn’t be done at all, but were technically forbidden during the entire holy month, not only during daylight. The idea, as I understood it, was to fast the mind, body and soul. To battle egotistical qualities such as anger, impatience, extravagance and arrogance. For me, this was fascinating: the hunger and thirst faded into a side effect – merely a physical reminder of the more important spiritual dimension. As a non-Muslim, I tried fasting, and was amazed. I learnt about my inner self. I saw my impatience, my lack of willpower, my selfish desires and my judgments. I realised the struggle was not about missing my lunch, but about trying to become a better person. That journey of self discovery played a big role in my journey towards becoming a Muslim. Of course, Islam is not the only religion to incorporate fasting. The Quran acknowledges: “Fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you.” On the Jewish Festival of Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement), eating, drinking, bathing and wearing certain luxurious materials is prohibited and the Jewish bride and groom fast on their wedding day to begin the marriage in a state of purity. Over the 40 days and nights of Lent, Christians give up some luxurious food items as a reminder to focus on faith, reflection and prayer. But for me, this is not about anyone else. Ever since that first day, I have really enjoyed fasting. I look forward to Ramadan. To me, it is about coming closer to the reality underneath the temporary shell of the body and the fuel of food and drink we use to keep it going. Ultimately, whatever religion we align ourselves with, we are all souls. I believe through fasting you can get closer to knowing that soul. The National
