I was about to start a thread to vent about uncivil Somalis and then i saw this thread, no more appropriate thread than a Trool and Cantarbaqash thread!

Nin Yaaban, sxb, i've watched your video but in the video you don't explain why you've started the thread. What your motive is. What you hope to achieve... Ma arkinoo'

All Nin-Yaaban is doing is posting information that is already public, appearing on news websites and such, and sharing them with us so these cases are easily accessible. Safferz;946711 wrote: What's wrong with discussing these issues openly? The culture of silence and denial we have as a community is the reason why many of these problems persist. Nothing is wrong with discussing those issues. In fact I encourage it but I dont see a discussion taking place here. Granted, this thread may provide some value in the sense that it highlights the frequency of Somali youngsters being jailed and thereby encourages the discussion of how to handle wayward youth. It would be helpful if Nin Yaaban clarifies his motive with the thread. Irrespective of motive, this thread gives a very negative image of and reflects very badly on the Somali community.

Malika;946699 wrote: ^speculate away! - He might recognize himself in one of the theories and perhaps acknowledge waxaa ku kalife and seek help or let it go. I give in. I have the following theories, Nin Yaaban can tell us which of those theories is plausible. 1. He is not Somali and seeks to defile the Somali name. 2. He has been wronged by a "criminal", perhaps a criminal of Somali origin, at some point in his life and gets a sense of satisfaction from seeing [somali] criminals behind bars. 3. He or a close relative/frien, has (or have) a criminal record for a minor offense. And perhaps this is a thread to provide self-affirmation of the lesser gravity of his/their criminal record. 4. He is enthused and excited by criminality and in particular criminality in which Somalis are involved. 5. He is writing a book on criminality in the Somali diaspora or is a social/case worker and as such as google alers set up to give him updates on the matter. (highly unlikely). 6. He is a criminal and wants to learn from the 'mistakes' made by other Somali criminals which got them caught.

Safferz;946702 wrote: You think Nin-Yaaban is the one doing that? How about these criminals? IMO they are both doing a disservice to the Somali people. They by commiting the crimes. He by disseminating and parading information about their criminal activities, storylines and lifestyles, and by directly associating the Somali name with those criminal activities, storylines and lifestyles. Its like starting a thread entitled "bad and negative stories about Somalis"... yacni, if that is not a disservice then I dont know what is.

Visiting my cousin I went to have a shower in the bathroom and although he had frosted-glass windows in the bathroom he had nothing else up on the window. Incidentally, the window which is overlooked by the neighbours garden. Anyhow I hung some sort of towel or cloth, I dont remember which, on the window to block it and merrily went about my business having a shower. As I was drying myself I realised the towel had long since fallen off from the window and I could see what were the shapes of the neighbours outside haha...

But its a disservice to the Somali people and Somali name indeed.

Nin Yaaban, why do you keep this thread going. You are doing an ongoing disservice to the Somali people. Iska dhaaf fidinta warkan xun sxb. Put your effort and energy into a good thread. SMH

This is going to be a short one, a teaser. At Home in Tooray City Burco appeared to have a very high number of mosques. Most of the mosques are very small neighbourhood mosques the size of an average house. But this very very convenient. It means that you can wake up early in morning for Farj, roll out of bed and do weyso/wudu, and go the mosque (house) at the bottom of your street to pray and be back within 15minutes. Walahi it made prayer so much easier and, dare I say, enjoyable. I really enjoyed praying in the mosques of Burco. They were clean, had great locations and I enjoyed the messages of the imams - who it seemed, have the attentive ear of many followers. The mosques had a sense of purity, peacefulness and simplicity about them in that they did not appear to have been materialised with excessive decorations and glistening interior decor. Instead, they were quiet places where you could relish in your prayer. I may have been a "qurbojoog" and have not looked like or dressed like the "locals", but I never got that message or feeling from anyone. Nobody looked at me twice, said anything asked me anything. I think as returnee qurbojoogs we go back with a very defensive mentality. And this is precisely because there is such a disparity between our perception of the place and the reality. We go back with a very defensive mentality, prepared to be hassled, to be shouted at and namecalled (shouts of dhaqan-celis), to be questioned about our accent, to be asked what out clan (sub-clan) is and be hassled, attacked or discriminated for it. Non of that is a reality. As I sat there with everyone else, having done my wudu and waiting for the prayer to start, it was in a strange and unexpected way, quite an emotional experience. I felt very comfortable, very much at ease and very much at home. That was the case as I walked through the neighbourhoods - not knowing where I was - through the streets, allyways and side-streets, as I walked through the markets, sat in internet-cafes, sat in the busses - I was not, not once, in any way, hassled or attacked, or discrimitated, or questioned. I was merrily waltzing along, with fanny-pack, cap and bottle of mineral water in-hand. I got a few 'looks' but that is all they were. You can say that I had an epiphany of sorts. I felt like I was in my homeland, albeit impoverished and underdeveloped, and I was welcome and like inayna cidina iga xigin. One thing that I did notice about Burco, in the mosques, the shops, the streets, was all the tooray/ablay's being carried. I was sat there in a mosque and almost everyone in my sight had a tooray the size of small swords hanging from their trousers. Hence I named the city, tooray city.

nvm.
