I watched this movie called "the believer" on Comcast (showtime). It's already out on DVD and video in blockbuster. I really liked this movie alot. It's about a jewish boy who grows up to join an anti-semetic fascist group (the neo nazi). This movie is sundance-ish...so if your into sundance movies..this is the one to watch. 1

Even the ones who ever get to that middle position tend to cut off from those who are still struggling? I find that in Somalis, there are people who will drag you down. Who will question your motives when you want more..in life. Who will question your "dhaqaan" when you learn somethings about your cultures that you don't quite agree with. Who will basically hate on you because they are not doing as well as you are. In that case, some people choose to distance themselves from other Somalis like the ones I described. Why can’t we get along? Go figure. Maybe we need to stop judging eachother. Don't hold dhaqaan in such a high standard that it almost becomes religious (nothing short of idol-worshipping). Why is it that our worst enemies are the same Somalis who smile at you and have a dagger with the other hand? I couldn't answer you that question since I don't have many Somali friends .. n I usually don't interact with that type to begin with How come we drop all our ideals, culture and embrace cultures that are themselves lost and trying to reinvent themselves. In this case, I think you should speak for yourself. Its not your place to judge other people on "how somali they are"..maybe when you drop that attitude in life, you will see that northamerica is a mix of alot of cultures. You can't say there is only one type of culture here..Second of all, not everyone was born and raised in Somalia. Third of all, worry about yourself and your family first. Why is it that we pretend to be true Islamic believers and as soon as one steps out of the Mosque change into a horrible person? I will answer this question with a question: can you see into a person's heart? In other words, don't judge a book by its cover! Do we still have a conscience knowing that out there are a people who are dying everyday and a group of people who are working for the extinction of our race? Paranoia :confused: You sure ask alot of questions thou :cool:

err....I would like to get proposed to (if I'm not doing the proposing myself ) in a way that is very creative... That's all I can say right now, since I don't think about minute things like this!

Men can't even handle one chick...what makes you guys think you can possibly handle more?

I don't know what you trying to say...but cutting off something that one is born with especially by force...should be illegal!! Cultural or no cultural

well if he is talking about women like collectibles...then I have every right to say what I just said. If you got a problem with it...deal! 1

Originally posted by HornAfrique: Hadith - Bukhari (#883) and Abu Dawud Nafi' said, "Ibn 'Umar used to beat his children for mistakes in diction ] How strong is this hadith? please let me know where you got it from. Hadith - Dawud, Narrated As-Saburah [Also recorded by Ahmand and al-Hakim. Al-Syuti has give in a notation signifying that it is authentic. Al-Albani has graded it hasan. Al-Albani, Sahih al-Jami, vol. 2, p. 1021] The Prophet said: Order your children to pray at the age of seven. And beat them [lightly] if they do not do so by the age of ten. And separate them in their bedding. ] Yes, it does say lightly...I am sure that I read some where that you are not supposed to hit em stronger than the force of a miswaaq (the thing you brush your teeth with).... Our religion is our culture. No hon, your religion is ISLAM...unless you tell me otherwise. Please bro, if you are trying to convince me strongly...then get me a Ayaat from the quran....and not from your "DHAQQAN" ps: to all of you offended about the comments about parents...if they are beating you, then in my opinion I think their actions are backwards. peace

The funny thing is..they want us to believe its not terrorism. The first day was like..."We don't know what happened with the energy, but its definately not terrorism". What are we, naive? C'mon now..if they can't even figure out what PLANT this problem came from..then how do we not know it was espionage from a terrorist org? Anyhow..now, it turns out, that they are speculating about hackers! (which was one of my first guesses) I rather we all panic and know the truth...or feel secure and be lied to! :rolleyes:

Harmony, I think your new name and avator suit eachother....I think you should keep it! 1 Ps: Haven't changed my name or avator since I joined S.O.L.

Nin yaban, nice try

people who marry outside their race don't have a problem with it. It is the rest of the world who has a problem and therefore interefere with these people so they can't have normal lives. I am almost sure I will marry someone who ain't somali...why? simply because I believe Allah didn't create different people so they can be with themselves only! I have already experienced many cultures..and one more won't kill I don't believe this crap about marrying the guy means marrying the whole family...its more like adoption and if they don't like it..and won't accept it...then they know where the door is at! 1

Maybe your mother? :confused:

^ lol Sounds like your brown-nosing bruh!

I am sure there is a blessing in having many kids, but if you can't support em all...why be a baby making machine? Besides, are these even sahih hadiths? cuz some of em sound as if its limiting a females role to the home and making babies! peace

how about this, find another profession!

Who said one has to be hit in the face to be disciplined? She can be whipped or pinched or any other kind of beating, or are you against any and all beatings? Yes, I am against all types of beatings. even when you slap a person in the face, Islam tells us not to even leave a bruise or a tell-tell mark. Are you going to challenge me on this? Children are neither Christian nor Muslim, they are what the parent makes them. Are you even educated in the religion brother? How can you say children are neither muslim nor christian? That's blasphemous!! In Islam, Children who are not of age are Muslim , whether they live in christian or jews or pagan families. Is this what your duugsi teacher taught you ? Please do not make such comments for it will mislead people on the internet. Thank god I don't practice the somali dhaqaan, maybe the way you displine your kids are the reason why they behave the way they do. Second of all, you are in a mainly non-muslim country (by your choice) and they have laws and such that protect the rights of children ...so if you choose to beat your kids senselessly..well you must deal with the law then! just as this fool of a father did. You just dont go around threatening children with knives..it's ridiculous!! :rolleyes:

Athena, Yeah, like being placed with a distant relative or another Somali or Muslim family..

Oh my god...my jaws dropped when I read some of your comments.. As of this point, I am EMBARRASED to be Somali!!! I am so speechless....I can't even type the things that I wanted to say..but let me condense it for you all...I think 90% of you here (excluding MaLikaH, Harmonyangel and Somealien) are as backwards as your parents. Mz Unique, hon, your mother can't kill because it is haram to murder someone much less your children. she is going straight to hell!! dont believe other wise. MMA, you are mislead if you think macalinka duugsiga can abuse you..it is crime, if not haram (because you can not beat people and leave a bruise like MaL stated) Let me leave a final note: I really feel sorry for the girl to be going through this without support from her community (since they have a friggin retard for a community leader, can't say much about the people). THIS IS A 12 YEAR OLD GIRL....you guys don't seem to comprehend how young of an age that is...no child wants to be put in a foster care..no matter how much you want to believe so. I say get over yourselves and the frigging dhaqaan, and start raising your kids properly, the right way, without a belt or a friggin stick. And if the U.S. culture and their laws are so bad.....WHY ARE YOU HERE???? :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I don't see what the big deal is. How should this ruin a whole community unless they collectively don't know how to raise their kids properly. I, for one, don't believe this father...as I am aware of how somalis fathers act like he did when they see their children with foreigners. Oh well..I hope the kid gets her justice!

Hey soccer, Girl, there will always be haters where ever you go ...so I advice you to deal with this problem you are having with your coach. Now if he is racist to all the foreign students..why don't you all collectively go to your principal and launch a complaint against him. If that doesn't work, then notify your principal's superior, and so on. Cuz racism is a serious issue that will never go away, na'mean. Keep ya head up girl and keep playing ball, 1

To be honest with you, it annoys me! and I wish they would stop...really!

I don't like this questionnaire! I got 5 A's, 1 B, 2 C's
