^^LoL Where have you been man?

Marc, no disrespect but waad isla yara qaadatay ma is tidhi? Taking the slightest difference of opinion to yours and making out as 'they dont do anything for Somalis' is a bit silly no?

The Muslim community as a whole has been under fire since the ‘terrorist’ attacks against the United States which has tipped the scale fuelling Islamophobic sentiments all across the globe. Evidence reveals mounting anxiety about Islam’s compatibility with Western values are based on lack of awareness and understanding of basic elements of Islam. Paradoxically, with all the negative press that Islam has been receiving in all forms of the media (radio, print, T.V., film, etc.) according to “The Almanac Book of Facts” followers of Islam have increased 235 per cent as opposed to the 46 per cent increase in Christianity and 137 per cent increased world population. What is more enigmatic are the results of the recent US poll which reveals that approximately 100,000 people a year in America alone are accepting the Islamic way of life. For every one male convert to Islam, there are four female converts embracing the religion introduced to civilisation through Muhammad (p.b.u.h) over 1400 years ago. Muslims have either voluntarily or involuntarily been slapped with tags and labels in accordance to the level of their iman (faith). A passive Muslim is considered a moderate or progressive whereas a practicing adherent to Islam is regarded as suffering from judeophobia. Exogenous pressures have increased the thirst for Islamic knowledge which can partly explain the sudden surge in converts to Islam. Despite being born into a Muslim household I regrettably say that until recently I like a great number of Muslims all over the world had taken my religion for granted . I was oblivious to all the wonderful things it has to offer. I am a firm believer of Islamic edicts which is a remedy of great efficacy; which begins and ends with peace. Peace. Kashmir Dubai Letter I thought that bit in bold was very interesting.

I thought you would. Do you think it is in your capacity to comment on it? Try this one.

^^Youtube has been working for a whole year now. Woohooo! Originally posted by marcassmith: CG and Northerner, I reason why I don’t bother writing anything is because you two will ridicule whatever I write. Not because you agree or disagree with it but because you have negative Somali attitude where you put people down until you mentally break them down. MARC No ridiculing or negativity on my part. I would just prefer to 'read' rather than listen/watch. I'm sure you would agree reading a clear and concise opinion has more 'umph' especially on a discussion forum. Having said that, there you again assuming all Somalis are the same. I may challange your opinion where need be but this doesnt mean it's a negative attitude to have. This is a discussion forum and what are discussion forums for if whenever someone has a differing opinion someone shouts 'your being negative'? I would advise you to speak louder and with more gusto. I could hardly hear you on the video. I would also like to give my opinion on Somalis in the UK before most of them arrived Now, where is that transcipt?

^^Intel, the Aussie have been doing it for the past god know how long. Only difference is no one has ever made a complaint. Remember the abuse Sajad Mahmoud and Monty got from the Aussie crowd durng the last Ashes series down under? "We didn't behave like cry babies and go running to the officials every time something was said out in the middle. Australia do it constantly and more than anyone else, so how they can complain about the behaviour of other teams, I don't know." Former Pakistan skipper Wasim Akram "The Aussies have been sledging and abusing players with little censure for years, so there will be some sympathy towards Harbhajan for standing up to them. But in a world where racial friction can cause the death and destruction now being seen in Kenya, its use on a sports field is unacceptable, regardless of the provocation." Daily Telegraph writer and former England player Derek Pringle But your right I hope the Indians get embarrassed agan.

Originally posted by NGONGE: ^^ Just for you quote: In a poor zoo of India , a lion was frustrated as he was offered not more than 1 kg of meat a day. The lion thought its prayers were answered, when one day a Dubai Zoo Manager visited the zoo and requested the zoo management to shift the lion to Dubai Zoo. The lion was so happy and started thinking of a central A/c environment, a goat or two every day. On its first day after arrival, the lion was offered a big bag, sealed very nicely for breakfast. The lion opened it quickly but was shocked to see that it contained few bananas. The lion thought that may be they cared too much for him as they were worried about his stomach as he had recently shifted from India . The next day the same thing happened. On the third day again the same food bag of bananas was delivered. The lion was so furious; it stopped the delivery boy and blasted at him, 'Don't you know I am the lion...king of the Jungle..., what's wrong with your management?, what nonsense is this?, why are you delivering bananas to me?' The delivery boy politely said, 'Sir, I know you are the king of the jungle. .. but... you have been brought here on a monkey's visa !!! ' A Somali is an 'Arab' here and will be treated like one (with respect. You should know that ya Ngonge. Do you know anyone based here? Somali civil engineers?

I was talking about those who got their qualifications in India/Malaysia/Egypt/Sudan/Ethiopia/Kenya but are back home doing nothing.

I think it's a bit complicated than that Ghanima.

How the heck did the Poles make it to the top? They havent been there for long.

The art of defending is not in black and white. He is a good reader of the game and does not rely too much on the last ditch tacles. He lacks pace and will obviously do more tackles than the likes of Gallas (over-rated) and Ferdinand (beginning to change my opinion about him lately). Richards is way way over-rated and relies on his speed too much which gets him out of trouble when he find himself in the wrong position. A nifty striker would do him in a second.

Parents need to understand what it would take for their children to be sucessful in life. I think you hit something here Dahia. Alot of parents just do not understand the processes involved in School>>Uni>>>Work and what kids need to get there.

^^2010 IA Universal Studios just kicke off. Why?

LoL I'm serious. Too live Begal tigers are present at the the client's sales office we are currently occupying. There are also life size models of 2 Elephants, 2 Dolphins and Space Ship! The exhibition area of the headquarters will feature a host of interactive features, both audio and visual. A snow dome will delight visitors with its virtual ice cracks. Adding to its attraction is a 35 metre high motorbike positioned at the top of the sales centre, a 220 m roller coaster, a man made volcano, miniature space shuttle and a racing car. Two Bengal tigers, housed in a dedicated secure enclosure, will add to visitors’ excitement to the centre.
