In the Fox and Friends program, one of them said Saddam Hussein is worse than Hitler.

Originally posted by Haniif: and would result in serious economic loss to the people. That's a very flawed statement. First, khat is imported, not grown in Somalia, therefore it doesn't employ anyone except those who sell it. How many people sell khat? Let's be generous; 1 for every 1000 khat buyers. We can deduce the general population doesn't profit from the khat trade; the money they spend on it doesn't return any profit. What's more, a significant percentage of Somalis live on remittance. Sure, enforcing a ban would be nearly impossible, but other measures can be taken to limit its circulation. One measure is to levy heavy fines on those who import and trade in khat. The idea is to make the khat trade improfitable. If anyone is going to suffer from serious economic loss as a result of the ban, it's the few who got filthy rich from its trade. But if khat use continues it will contribute to the disintegration of the society. Of course, that's what drugs (heroine, crack, etc) do to society. Khat is a drug (narcotic, hallucinogen, addiction); the sooner Somalis treat it as a real drug (heroine, crack, etc), the better.

wardheernews need do a better job in presenting a professional design. For example, if you look at this The Yibir of Las Burgabo page, you'll note the image included is a small one enlarged, making it blurry (it hurts the eyes).

Originally posted by Hibo: walaalkiis You have addressed me with the above term a number of times (mahadsanid abaayo), you have also addressed others as walaashiis. Obviously, your choice of those terms regarding how to address others in Somali are way clearer than Brother Warsameh's slightly unclear unisex term.

Originally posted by Hibo: Walaal is a somali unisex word, and it can be applied to both male and female alike. I am sure u know that the Northern Somalis which are known as today as Somalilanders, don't use the word abaayo so they call their sister walaal. I am from Xamar, knew a few Northern families who lived there, and don't recall them using it for a female. However, even when used, especially in writing, the correct term should be Walaashay.

Originally posted by Brother Warsameh: Walaal Hibo Brother Warsameh, when addressing a female in Somali, one doesn't use Walaal; one uses Abaayo.

I am curious, has anyone who has been rated tried to disable and then enable ratings? Will enabling again erase the old ratings?

I thought I would share this image: It's the tomb of imam Bukhari.

I don't bother with how each site interpret the news; what interests me is the content of the news. Dayniile is an interesting site, as it provides uptodate local news.

I wouldn't. Simply, no human can foretell the future; that's what Islam teaches. Why is it fortune-tellers aren't rich? Because they can't use their powers to enrich themselves? Why do they charge meagre dollars to foretell? This topic might have made a sense were it in the Jokes section.

Originally posted by wiil_duco: is amezing how we feel about the injustice of african americans There's only one poster who commented about the topic, so the term we doesn't apply, yet. It's too early to use we.

Originally posted by Xu: First of all, I don't think many people idolise tyrants What do you mean by many? Do you mean it by the majority? If so, your point is valid. Otherwise, there are at least 1 million people who idolise Saddam Hussein, not only those who benefited from him, but also those who have observed him from a distance, including non-Muslims. Of course, you know one man's tyrant is another man's hero, and vice versa.

Originally posted by Xoogsade: And he looks muslim by faith. Is he? He looks like one, but I don't know if he's. It's possible he's a Muslim, given many African-Americans in prison become Muslim. Good observation. There's 14 pages of heated comments at the site's forum.

This is a commendable protest.
