  1. The truth is men already know how powerful we are...they are so scared shitless of us, that they have this need to dominate us ..first, as children they teach us to be submissive, then..as we grow older --glass ceiling for women in the workplace --barefoot and pregnant in the homes.

     

    Once, women realize they have the power within them..they dont need to unite with other women to realize that they are indeed more intelligent than the male species..

     

    That's what I tell myself every morning lmao

     

    :cool:


  2. Infringing on Allah's rights because I do not want to live under the Shari'a laws of corrupt states?

     

    I don't think so. We do not live in a perfect world, and I hardly doubt there will be a "perfect" Shari'a anytime soon. That day will come when all scholars will agree with each other.

     

    I'd take my chances, thanks.


  3. This topic is pointless.

     

    Hijab means more than what you wear on your head. And good luck to the men who think all hijab-wearing sisters are saintly and chaste lmao

     

    I think we place too much symbolism on the hijab (the one you wear on your head) as a representative of our religion, and to be honest, it doesnt need to be.

     

    Hijab is modesty..not in clothing but in spirit, k. So, yes, a man can be "hijabified" as well.

     

    this thread deserves :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    ^^DA, define what you’re apposing then you can get a fair answer to your Q. are you against Shariica or how some countries practice it? Come back with some clarity saaxiib.

    Basically, I choose not to place my rights in the hands of scholars/governments. In the case of the Afghani, they are taking his rights away from him based on their interpretation of the punishement mandated by Allah(saw). If he converts to the wrong religion, let Allah(saw) deal with him. His wrath would be greater that one that any human can inflict upon another human, right?

     

    Does anyone know which verse in the Quran addresses the issue of apostates?


  5. In my personal opinion, I wouldn't live in a country that practiced Shari'a Laws.

     

    Here's my argument: I'm not going to follow a bunch of laws that even the scholars had disagreeing opinions on. What two countries practice the shari'a the same way? What country practices justly? What about the different schools of thoughts? or even different sects? Who's right? Who's Wrong?

     

    I'd rather let GOD (saw) make that JUDGEMENT.

     

    Would that make me a non-muslim?

    "Fabio Liverani"? Maybe you should ask this guy if
    he
    considers himself Somali or Muslim.

    you mean to tell me that his name cant be Fabio without him being muslim or Somali?

     

    A name is a name..If my name was Jessica, that does not mean it changes the blood in my vains or the faith in my heart. Your post deserves a :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    That says these ppl will never do anything right!!

     

    The whole weekend, I was resolving one disaster after the other!!

     

    My 16yr cuz ran to NY. Another quit school and shacked up with some loser who is not even a high school graduated!

     

    And finally, now this one takes the cake!, this ya lady got her green card on Saturday, before she never did partying. I am sitting at home last nite, phone rings, I go hello, she goes, guess what? I am going to a reggae party!! I go, huh! Tomorrow is Monday, did u forget!! She goes, I don’t care! I have my green card and going partying!

     

    Now this unlucky lady owes about 40k of student loans and about 20k on credit cards! And this is how she celebrates!! I think shes better off the worlards.

    I fail to see how this is only a "xaliimo" issue. The state of the Somali male is far worse than those of Somali females. But since you care so much about the lack of education of Somalis, you sure could use a spell check on majority of your posts.

     

    Sorry, had to tell it like it is.


  8. You are talking about NPC/IFC/LOCAL fraternities and sororities. What they do is there business.

     

    There are black, latino, multicultural, asian and other culture-specific fraternities out there..who do not have "kegging" image. Just dont make it seem like ALL of them are like that, because it's not.

     

    Otherwise, I would never have joined.

    The thing i never liked about Sororities and fraternies is the hitting of the keg(beer).When you are a member of these fraternies; you are basically buying freinds.

    Actually, it seems to me that many of you are not really aware of sororities and fraternities besides what you see on the Television.

     

    I belong to a Multicultural Sorority and I can guarantee you that:

     

    a) I bdid not buy my friends - my sorority is a non-profit and if we have to do activities/events/diversity forums, we need to be able to cover all the overhead expenses we incur. And my sorority sisters, we are closer than alot of the friends I made in college. That is why it's called a sisterhood.

     

    b) We do not condone Drinking. We can't even drink if we have our letters on. We have NEVER hosted nor will host a party that will condone drinking.

     

     

    We are not the only sororities out there who don't do that. Do your research before you spout of your "20/20" version of Sororities.

     

    BTW, it's a great sorority, and I've already sent them an email of congrats.


  10. Venting room..what a nice concept!

     

    My pet peeve: When there is an issue at hand, PLEASE DO NOT CLOUD THE ISSUE WITH YOUR EMOTIONS AND FEELINGS. Also, God gave you a voice, USE IT. Don't let me do all the talkin' and make me feel like the bad guy 24/7. Don't piggy-back off my assertiveness because you are incapable of speaking your mind when you're supposed to. Then don't continue to raise important issues and when I do, use it as an opportunity to bring up OTHER issues (laced with emotions).

     

     

    ok done venting.
