What is this?

:rolleyes: Somaliland this, Somaliland that,,,,,,,,,

Saxib its not about selling out. Its about living in a muslim country with a mosque next to your house! Thats all. As for Arabs, i respect them. They are Muslims, they have a country, they have an economy, they have charities that help Somalia, they have nearly eradicated illiteracy (in the space of 40 years), they have a social system for the old folk, they give youngsters grants for marriage etc. Why should i not respect them?

Apologies to Zu.

^^Exactly my thoughts saxib. Bent to play with Rooney. Lampard and Carrick out! Anyway glad its back to the prem.

Naden, i think your giving the guy a hard time. I saw one of his show just yesterday (before i went to a talk by Dr Abdullah Hakim Quick ). Top DIHQA honour goes to Egyptian scholar By Bassam Za'za', Staff Reporter Dubai: Egyptian scholar Dr Zaghloul Mohammad Al Najjar, a prominent figure in scientific miraculousness in the Quran, has been chosen the Dubai International Holy Quran Award's (DIHQA) Islamic Personality of 2006. Dr Al Najjar is the chairman of the Committee of Scientific Miraculousness in the Holy Quran and a member of the Supreme Council of Islamic Affairs in Egypt. "He is a prominent and outspoken Muslim scholar in the Arabic and Islamic world. He has been chosen as the Islamic Personality of 2006 for his lectures which are rich with information on scientific miracles in the Quran," Ebra-him Mohammad Bu Melha, the Chairman of DIHQA's Organising Committee, said yesterday. "His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, approved naming Dr Al Najjar who has produced numerous research papers and projects, as this year's Islamic Personality. Shaikh Mohammad also praised this year's foremost Islamic figure for his tremendous and non-stop efforts in serving the Quran," added Bu Melha. Dr Saeed Hareb, the Vice-Chairman of DIHQA's Organising Committee, said Dr Al Najjar, who attained a Bachelors in Science in 1955 from Cairo University, "was the first scholar to link the scientific miraculousness in the Quran with modern science". DIHQA's Organising Committee chooses the Islamic personality of the year. The selection is carried out through nomination by states, universities and specialised institutions. This award can be presented to a scholar or institution provided that the nominee should have provided outstanding and effective services to Islam.

I was just thinking about the effects accepting Islam in its true form in the west may have on the population. The economy will suffer if the west was to leave Islam be ('engangering' the negative perceptions of Islam amongst the people) and stop being so negative about it. I hope i made sense, back for more later,,,,

Saxib forget about England. I have given up on them. This is when you realise English players are just avergae with no skill, patience and thinking. In the Prem the other foreign players make them look good. Mclaren was never the right man for the job. It was Fabio Cappelo but the FA didnt get.

Cambarro, forget Dubai. Go to Sharjah and visit the Museums, Mosques and Cultural Centres. Al Khan Lagoon is a nice place to purchase a flat (if thats what your looking for) its also a nice family area. Dubai is just plain old plastic full of expats on a huge ego trip (i cut them down to size when need be). You have malls, malls and more malls (if thats what your looking for). There is a new soug (old style marketI in Jumeira which might worth a visit. Other than that just drive down Shiek Zayed road and will catch Dubai. Thats it really

^^whats with the laughter? was you there?

I live in Al Nahda 2 (Dubai) which borders with Sharjah. Its not so bad actually (on most days). 30 in morning and 45 at pm. The DLR will be going along my road soon and will take me to work by 2008 IA.

EDIT

By Rooble Mohamed The lexicon of the anti-Somaliland camp revolves around several mantra words such as dissent, limited government acreage of influence, clan dominancy, hijacked will, secessionist, northwestern Somalia, accidental president, pre-colonial, post colonial. They tells us if you are democratic why do you suffocate dissent voices, why do you arrest and deport native Somalilanders who oppose Somaliland's decision to withdraw from the union. We tell them you are right my sisters and brothers we should not be doing that. Either we are democratic or we are not. Every Somaliland citizen should have the freedom to voice his/her opinion in Hargeysa; a valid point, well taken. Unlike you, our brothers and sisters, we are democratic and own up to our shortcomings. They say, the influence of the government of Somaliland is limited to only certain areas and doesn't reach the whole country. Valid point again, well taken. A government that cannot spread its authority to all the parts of the country cannot be a viable government. But aren't we much better being here than going to where you want to take us. The chaos and fratricide taking place in Somalia. They say one clan dominates Somaliland. Here, we say if domination means majority, we say you are right, there is a majority rule in Somaliland, and it doesn't matter whether it is based on clan or party, majority is majority, democracy dictates it and the ballot box decides it. They claim that the people of Somaliland have been hijacked and the majority of them are not in favor of the region's secession. We say this is simply untrue. Anyone who goes to Borama, Hargeysa, Buroa and Erigavo will testify to the truth of our statement. The large turn out of the Somaliland people during the visit of the AU fact-finding mission to these areas in 2005 was the best testimony to the people's desire for freedom and sovereignty. We will not mention the referendum in which more than 90% of the Somaliland people said an emphatic YES for independence, because you already know it and you deny it so there is no point of repeating it to you. We tell them, the Somaliland people have said their word and are ready to say it again and again if need be. They like to use the word secessionist ad nauseam. In their parlance the word entails an accusation of treason, conspiracy and sedition. We tell them; YES the people of Somaliland decided to withdraw from the union, the union that they have initiated in the first place. They ditched it because it brought them nothing but misery, genocide and destruction. The great Somaliland poet Timacadde had foreseen it when he said "Ri' dhashaaba la iskaga draa rubuca jiilaale, ma riwaayad baa calanka sow ruuxna kuma ray-yo", a line that the anti-Somalilanders would like to ignore when they marshal Timacadde's verses to support their arguments. The anti-Somaliland camp make it a rule to call Somaliland, the northwestern region, a name that is neither pre-colonial, colonial nor post-colonial. A name coined by anti-Somaliland UN workers to undermine the Somaliland people's claim for statehood. These people, however, have no problem in calling the former ******teenia, Puntland. Well anyone who learned civics at the primary school in the early sixties can easily recall the name ******teenia. At the time Somaliland was known as the Northern regions and never as northwestern region, even the Southern people used to call us Reer Norad. The latest additions to the anti-Somaliland lexicon include "accidental president". We say, President Kahin's rise to the presidency was no more accidental than the that of Daniel arap Moi after the death of Jomo Kenyatta in office and no more accidental than that of George Bush when he won the election with a contestable marginal majority. It is pointless to argue with people when they deny basic truths. As the country's vice president it was constitutional for Kahin to succeed the late Egal. His prevalence later in a bitterly fought presidential election has dissipated the fallacy of a one-clan rule. Indeed Kahin's succession and election process was a brilliant example of democratic rule in Africa. Talking about pre-colonial, colonial and postcolonial status of the Somali people, we say that the African continent as a whole was a colonial creation. And the OAU and its successor the AU have both made the colonial legacy indelible by making colonial borders sacrosanct. It is, therefore, outlandish to accuse the International Crisis Group, ICG, or any other analyst of fabricating history. Somaliland's demand for the recognition of its colonial borders complies to the letter with the AU charter. One final point we would like to remind the Anti-Somaliland camp is the old adage which says "do not kill the messenger" as they have made a habit of incriminating analysts, scholars and journalists who report their findings of the situation on the ground. We tell them that I.M.Lewis, Iqbal Jhazbhay, Matt Bryden and the ICG, Drysdale, Ali Mazrui, J. Peter Pham and others who write about Somaliland do so according to their own conscience and judgment. They are only messengers but the source of the message is the people of Somaliland. Therefore, we call the anti-Somaliland camp to stop haranguing these truth seekers about what they should and should not write. We tell them, you better engage the people you claim to represent and win their hearts and minds instead. [rooble2009@yahoo.com] SL Times :eek:

They got tough people and crazy people with good hearts. They are what we can call the 'tribal lands'. So give me Shalambood, Jowhar, Marka, Kismayo, Ceerigaabo, Hargeysa anyday. In these places you will find the most honest of people. They will tell you how it is without sugar coating their sentences ps dont you want your kids to speak 'Somali'
