looool, nice one, i hate that guy!

looool! no matter how we may answer those question, as soon we start working the ' charm ' on you ladies u will be wrapped around our little fingers again. Sad but true!!!!!!

Liverpool remain favourites to win the six-way battle for Leeds United's Harry Kewell and clinch a £7m deal. BBC Sport understands Liverpool are still hopeful of beating off fierce competiiton to sign Kewell, who is shortly expected to inform Leeds United chairman Professor John McKenzie he is leaving Elland Road. Liverpool are believed to be offering Kewell a £60,000-a-week package to beat off interest from Arsenal, with reports that Chelsea are also making a late bid. Anfield boss Gerard Houllier moved in on Kewell after Blackburn slapped a £17m price on Damien Duff. Houllier wants Kewell to provide width in his line-up after Liverpool missed out on Champions League football last season. Kewell's agent Bernie Mandic confirmed six clubs are still hoping to sign Kewell. Arsenal had been leading the hunt, but they are reluctant to agree a £7m straight cash deal. CLUBS IN THE FRAME Arsenal Liverpool AC Milan Chelsea Manchester United Barcelona Leeds chief McKenzie claims he still hoped to see Kewell stay at Elland Road - but that looks increasingly unlikely. He is expected to meet Kewell within days to hear the final decision on his future. "I'd expect to see Harry there with the rest of the squad on Wednesday," McKenzie told www.lufc.co.uk. "I'd hope to see him be part of what we are very optimistic will be a good season." Meanwhile, Barcelona are sounding less optimistic about their chances of persuading the 24-year-old to join them at the Nou Camp. "He's close to joining a number of different Premier League clubs," said Barcelona director of sport Txiki Begiristain. "I suppose his agent is keeping all his options open." If liverpool pull this off, it will be signing of year no doubt!!!!!!!!

one must not read too much into the lyrics of a rapper, 9 times out of 10 its just for the rymes. Mos Def, Talib and the whole Rawkus Records fam are a bunch of educated rappers, they dont come accross as being ignorant like many other rappers.

r u guys serious? u actually celebrate 4th July? or is just for the fun of it? thats like us uk peepz celebrating St Georges day, we dont even know when that is!

<<<<<<still working on it like an essay!

nah henry was well on side, that song, who is a good defender as he played for liverpool,does make the odd mistake and like the commentators said, his mistakes are always punished. he totally missed the ball and allowed henry to knee it in. But still it was a tribute to Marco so who cares about the result!

white ppl are white ppl, anything to disrespect a respectful blck man is all good to them! I purposefully did not buy any papers that day cos i was still in shock and did not sleep well that nite and didnt want it to get any worse!

i am guessing at.... Performing sunnah prayers after each prayer, except asar of course.

salaam i think raxma hit the nail on the head, life is a test and those who come thru that test (a 24/7/365 test)will gain the best reward of all. however having said that, the kafurs dont c like we see it. for them evrything has to be in black and white, i have had that same question on more than one occasion.

If a rapper claims to be muslim but is not giving out the right message and is instead gun tottin, blingin wit the bootylicious crowd etc etc, then respect for him as a muslim will not be very high. Its probably better 4 them if they give the music up, this Freeway rapper/gangsta/blady blah aint the 1st or the last of the so called muslim rappers who do nothing but idolise the money instead of full commitment to allah. And for those of u who condone this, it aint healthy!!!!

thanx for that ilhaan!!!!! i have recently heard that we should not pray sunna b4 the athaan of magrib,as we always pray sunnah when entering the masjid, but not b4 magrib. The ppl who told me this say they can provide the hadiths to prove this. Has anyone else heard this???

looooooooooooool X 1,000,000!!!!!!!! I'm 2pac, shhhh dont tell anyone, still got another 3 months b4 my come back, lol

its independence day, business will be brisk, money exchanging hands, if the Deegshil office(s) close for the day, they will be the only business closed!!!! Can u picture every business in Xamar closed for the day cos its independence day? Nah didnt think so! Do these businesses close in other days of celebraion, like eid, course not, so why for July 1st?

A player who i have respected since his days in france and who was gonna sign for Man Utd but broke his leg. I was sat here watching with the whole fam when he just collapsed and walahi from the 1st moment that the camera fixed on him layng there, i was in shock and privetly thought to my self, this is serious. I was impressed with his last season at Man City and he scored some goals that made me click my index finger against my middle finger, as u do when a fine goal is scored. As a football fan this has been very shockin and shows to us all that if yr 28 and in the peak of yr physical condition, death can be just around the corner. They still dont know what the reason for his death was, a stroke has been ruled out by the doctors. Its a sign as well as a reminder by Allah (swt) that life is not granted even for the fit and healthy. As regular player, i think thats scariest thing.

They r straight DUMB , THERE I SAID IT!

To the answer the question posed by the title of the topic, thats a yes, always has been and will be. I'm the kind of person who aint concered with the little things in life, i have no time for worrying about it, cos that aint gonna help me in the long run. I try to concentrate on the more important things in life. Mujahid, very well said bro!

200 missing as migrants' boat goes down off Tunisia AP 21 June 2003 Up to 200 people are missing after a boat carrying Africans trying to get to Europe capsized off the Tunisian coast, the official news agency said. At least 12 died. About 250 people were aboard the vessel en route to Italy when it sank at dawn yesterday about 70 miles south-east of the Tunisian city of Sfax. The boat was carrying people from several African nations hoping to slip into Europe. 41 people were pulled from the water alive It is unclear what caused the accident, the latest in a series of deadly accidents involving boats of Africans trying to enter Europe illegally, Thousands of people risk their lives every year in the crossing. Often, they set off overnight in makeshift crafts or inflatable boats. Some drown. Tunisian investigators said it appeared the boat took off from a neighboring country, without giving details. Many such boats leave from Libya. Italy is trying to reach an accord with Libya to stem the boatloads of illegal immigrants arriving on Italian shores. Relatively few of those who try to slip into Italy hope to settle there. Most travel north, to countries such as Germany that have proportionally larger immigrant populations. Earlier this week, Italian rescue ships recovered the bodies of seven immigrants who drowned off the Sicilian island of Lampedusa near the North African coast after their ship capsized. The TAP news agency said Tunisian authorities had found two other boats likely carrying illegal immigrants on Wednesday and Thursday. The first, carrying 28 people, was discovered near Zarzis, a port near the Libyan border. Authorities discovered the second, a rubber boat carrying 24 people, near the Tunisian island of Djerba. As i have come to find out, this is a popular route for Somalis to try and get to Europe, via Libya, this is bad news indeed and would not be very surprised if some were not somali, the q i have is, IS IT WORTH IT? I mean risking all that just to get to Italy, who don not have the best record on Asylum by any means, then try to get to the uk thru the EU.

Boxing: Boos as Lewis retains world crown From Ian Gordon, PA Sport, Los Angeles 22 June 2003 Lennox Lewis retained his heavyweight crown after the referee stopped his fight against Vitali Klitschko at the end of the sixth round in Los Angeles. The Brit took the fight in controversial fashion with the Ukrainian definitely upset at the decision in the Staples Centre. Lewis retained his World Boxing Council crown after opening up two huge cuts above and below Klitschko's left eye. Referee Lou Moret acted on Dr Paul Wallace's advice to stop the fight because of the severe injuries to the Californian-based fighter's face. Klitschko paraded around the ring afterwards insisting he should have been allowed to continue and swung a couple of punches at Lewis as officials crowded round. The decision was greeted with boos from many in the around 10,000 crowd at the arena. But the decision gave Lewis his 15th victory in the 19th title bout of his career. The Londoner can now face former middleweight champion Roy Jones Jnr in a money-spinning final pay-day before hanging up his gloves after a 14-year professional career. Lewis had hinted before this fight - the heaviest heavyweight contest in history - that he would quit the ring after facing Jones. The fight was stopped with Klitschko ahead by two points on all three judges' scorecards. Lewis had looked in trouble as Klitschko clearly won the first two rounds. The 37-year-old's sluggish opening raised fears he had not taken the fight seriously, as he did when he suffered his shock defeat to Hasim Rahman in South Africa just over two years ago. But Lewis, half a stone heavier than when he demolished Mike Tyson in Memphis just over a year ago, responded like a champion in the third round. Klitschko was left with blood pouring from a cut above his left eye as he was repeatedly caught by Lewis. But Klitschko refused to buckle and took the next two rounds on the decision of two of the judges despite the cut again opening up. Lewis opened up a cut below the eye in round six and this was enough to give him the disputed victory. The referee stopped the fight just before the bell for the seventh round with the doctor saying that Klitschko could not see out of his left eye. Klitschko was immediately out of his stool and was furious at the decision. There was nothing he could do. Long after Lewis had left the ring to boos Klitschko was wandering round with arms aloft as in victory. Lewis had come into the fight weighing his heaviest ever at 18st 4lb. He felt Klitschko was lucky the fight was stopped as it saved the challenger from further punishment. "There's no way he could have finished the fight," Lewis told Sky Box Office. "If you look at the state of his face, there is no way. He is lucky the fight was stopped." He insisted Klitschko had not proved a tougher challenger than he had expected. "No, not really. Of course he can compete with me, that's why he is in the number one position. "He would have got knocked out in the next couple of rounds. He was definitely deteriorating. "I do give him credit. He has an unusual European style, plus I only had a week to prepare for it." A big right hand opened the cut above Klitschko's left eye and led to the stoppage, and Lewis denied Klitschko had successfully avoided his big right hand. "I wouldn't say he avoided them. The next couple of rounds would have told you the whole thing." Lewis looked tired, but said: "I was just getting my second wind." He conceded he was rocked by Klitschko in the second round, and added: "It definitely did wake me up. We're big guys, so any punch from both of us is going to hurt. I hurt him a couple of time - more times than he hurt me. "I still feel he cannot go the distance with me. As you could see he was definitely deteriorating. "I wanted it to be a dogfight, because I know when the going gets tough, the tough get going, and I am tougher than him." Lewis feels Klitschko may have a case for a money-spinning rematch, and asked if the Ukrainian would get a second chance, said: "If it calls for it and the money is right, then yeah, definitely." Dr Wallace believed he had to stop the fight because Klitschko was unable to defend himself. He said: "He (Klitschko) had to move his head to see me. At that point I had no other option than to stop the fight. "If he had to move his head to see me, there was no way he could defend himself." However, Klitschko could not understand the decision to stop the fight, and claimed he would have won had the referee not intervened. "Lennox Lewis does not have good condition, he is very heavy," Klitschko told Sky Box Office. "It was my strategy to make him tired. "I see very well. I don't know why the doctor stopped the fight. I feel very well. I know I can fight. "I know if this fight had gone on I would win. I would win the fight by points."

Hip Hop is what it is, straight out-da-bronx, u cant call somalis who recite poetry hip hop, common man!

Bush-backed feature film of 9/11 casts him as scourge of 'tinhorn terrorists' By Andrew Gumbel in Los Angeles 22 June 2003 According to one version of history, President George Bush was so slow to react to the momentous attacks of 11 September 2001 that he continued reading to a group of primary school children in Florida even after being informed of the first plane crashing into the World Trade Centre. Then, after making an anodyne remark about finding "the folks who committed this act", he was whisked off in Air Force One, first to Shreveport, Louisiana and thence to an underground bunker in Nebraska, where he was hastily coached in the art of responding to the crisis in an appropriately presidential manner. That, however, is not the George Bush who emerges from a new television docudrama due to air on cable in time for the second anniversary of the attacks this September. In this version, the President is all swagger and seize-the-moment bravado. "If some tinhorn terrorist wants me, tell him to come and get me," he says. "I'll be at home. Waiting for the ******* ." "But Mr President ..." stammers his Secret Service chief. "Try 'Commander-in-Chief'," Mr Bush corrects him, "whose present command is, 'Take the President home!'" If this scenario sounds like wishful thinking cooked up by the Republican National Committee, it probably is, given that the film, entitled DC 9/11, was produced and written by a direct associate of the President's, Lionel Chetwynd, in close co-operation with Mr Bush's chief political strategist, Karl Rove. From the administration's point of view, it is arguably, the most successful attempt to date to recruit Hollywood to help the White House in its war on terrorism - or, in this case, its war on the Democratic presidential nominee in the November 2004 election. Mr Chetwynd is not only a well-known conservative in Hollywood circles, with credits spanning political dramas and biblical stories. He also sits on the White House Committee on the Arts and Humanities. Mr Rove, meanwhile, has a special eye for propaganda - not only did he conceive of Mr Bush's recent post-Iraq Top Gun-style landing on an aircraft carrier, he was also the one who explained away the President's peregrinations on 11 September by claiming, less than convincingly, that Air Force One itself was under direct threat of attack. Although nobody has seen the finished product, the script of DC 9/11 was leaked to the Toronto Globe and Mail newspaper, which described its portrayal of "a nearly infallible, heroic president with little or no dissension in his ranks and a penchant for delivering articulate, stirring, off-the-cuff address to his colleagues". At one point, according to the script, he tells Democratic Party leaders: "I won't be seeking a declaration of war. With a shadowy enemy, specificity makes that problematic." That sounds awfully sophisticated for the malapropism-prone George Dubya. Amazingly, Mr Chetwynd denies his film is propaganda in any form. He insists that everything in the film comes from the public record - either published accounts or information gleaned from his own interviews with the President, the White House chief of staff Andy Card, Mr Rove and others. "This isn't propaganda," he told the The Washington Post last week. "It's a straightforward docudrama. I would hope what's presented is a fully coloured and nuanced picture of a human being in a difficult situation." The fact that it paints its subject in the best possible light at every turn certainly can't hurt the Bush cause, however. It is part of an emerging pattern whereby the anniversaries of 11 September are exploited as political advertisements for the Bush administration. This year it will be the airing of DC 9/11; next year, with just two months to go before the next presidential election, it will be the Republican National Convention in New York.
