    If Somalia-Online was Somalia and not an obscure forum on the far corners of the internet filled to the brim with passionate yet mentally empty Obama-style liberals, Al-Shabaab would fall today. But this isn't Beletweyn, this isn't Mogadishu, this isn't Kismayo and this ain't no Baidoa, this is SOL where the dwellers try to vainly paint Somalia as a Western country forgetting that what may fly here may not fly there.

     

    In essence, people here have lost touch with reality over there.

    Waa gartaa, dalka Galbeed aad macmacaankaaga iska cabeysid, iskana cuneysid, oo raaxada nabadeed iskaga nooshahay dhib iyo kuleel ma kugu heyso argagaxa ee ku haayaan Barbaartaas dadka ee xoog ku maamulaan, silac iyo qaxarka ku nool, hay'adihii ay ka shaqeysan lahaayeen, oo ay waxooda daruuriga ka heli lahaayeena loo diiday. Haddaa dhibkooda la dareemi lahayd saas uma hadasheen.

     

    Af nool oo xor ah waa iska hadli karaa, just Eebbe u mahadceli that SOL waa xor oo Barbaarta kuwaas la baxay ma maamusho. Dadka SOL joogana waa dad wax fahmay oo xor ah, oo aragtidooda ka dhiibanaayo maadaama dadka dhibaateysan koonfurta Soomaaliya ku sugan aynan dhiiban karin cabsi iyo argagax daraadeed. Anagaa u hadleena, that is the least we can do.
    MMA afkaaga caano lagu qabay. Suasha waxeey tahay hadaad joogi laheyd Somaliya ood gajeysnaan laheyd ma rabi laheyd in laga ceydhiyo heyadaha. The ability to put one self in other people's shoes seems lacking in so many people and as long as that is lacking you can just throw around political judgments.

     

    Lastly Obama, empty minded liberal? that id didn't know of !

    SO this is how it goes down a lot of times.

     

    Xaliimo: marriage is give and take and it is about equality...

     

    'Farax': Xisaabta badan walaaley iska daa.....

     

    Xaliimo: Accountability is important..every relationship takes an effort and that effort has to be shared it is not fair whe men just get their way all the time and women make all the sacrifices...

     

    'Farax' : You are reading too much feminist literature and relationship articles .galdan waxa family system kooda uu la rogmaday baad wadaa...for a marriage to work someone has to take responsibility and make decisions and that someone is obviously the man...balah blah balah

     

    Xaliimo:....

     

    Halkaas markeey mareyso change the topic... after few minutes excuse your self and never ever bother with that brother. Repeat the above many more times and if you are lucky one of them will vary from the script.

    There are two established approaches to gender roles in marriages:

     

    Scenario A. Both man and woman work. Everything is split in the middle. He pays half of the rent, half of the electric bill, grocery bill....."blissful!"

     

    Scenario B. Traditional roles. The woman takes care of the house: the man brings the bread home. Done!

     

    Scenario C: Two people with decently functioning brain get together and plan their life.

     

    I don't know if this is your scenario C but I prefer this

     

    Both the man and the woman work and help each other around the house, how ever, Providing for the family is essentially the man's responsibility and if he buys the food it is only fair that the woman cooks it. So I cook and clean most of the time(like 80%) he pays the bills and buys everything most of the time like (90%). I can always buy things for the family and help him if money is tight and i expect him to help me with the house work and cook on the occasional day when I am not feeling like it.

     

    I say this because in the traditional role you end up being a burden on your husband. What is life if you have to ask for money all the time for all the things you need? plus who wants to cook and clean every day with no help? islamaha rafadaya oo somalida ah soo meydaan arag oo Farax markuu shaqada ka yimaado lugba meel dhigayo.The fifty fifty arrangements takes away a beautiful aspect of marriage i.e the man being the provider and protector and the woman making nurturer of the family and every one feeling like a hero because they did something for the other that they are better at.

    Laakiin ogoow sababo uu Sayidka gabayadiisa u keensado inta. He thinks -- nay, he believes -- in Sayidka iyo Barbaarta kuwaan la baxay maanta joogo inay isku mabda' yihiin, oo jidkii Sayidka dhamaan wali wadaan. That is what he believes. Sharafta ayeeba Sayidka ka qaadeen.
    MMA thanks walaale. Siydka iyo alshabaab waxba iskagama eka. The sayid was a great patriot who did both right and wrong but the bottom line difference is he was motivated by his love for his mother land. Alshabaab's motivation is a whole different sad story.

    On the Ground

     

    Americans have suggested that more moderate Muslims should stand up to extremists, speak out for tolerance, and apologize for sins committed by their brethren.

     

    That’s reasonable advice, and as a moderate myself, I’m going to take it. (Throat clearing.) I hereby apologize to Muslims for the wave of bigotry and simple nuttiness that has lately been directed at you. The venom on the airwaves, equating Muslims with terrorists, should embarrass us more than you. Muslims are one of the last minorities in the United States that it is still possible to demean openly, and I apologize for the slurs.

     

    I’m inspired by another journalistic apology. The Portland Press Herald in Maine published an innocuous front-page article and photo a week ago about 3,000 local Muslims praying together to mark the end of Ramadan. Readers were upset, because publication coincided with the ninth anniversary of 9/11, and they deluged the paper with protests.

     

    So the newspaper published a groveling front-page apology for being too respectful of Muslims. “We sincerely apologize,” wrote the editor and publisher, Richard Connor, and he added: “we erred by at least not offering balance to the story and its prominent position on the front page.” As a blog by James Poniewozik of Time paraphrased it: “Sorry for Portraying Muslims as Human.”

     

    I called Mr. Connor, and he seems like a nice guy. Surely his front page isn’t reserved for stories about Bad Muslims, with articles about Good Muslims going inside. Must coverage of law-abiding Muslims be “balanced” by a discussion of Muslim terrorists?

     

    Ah, balance — who can be against that? But should reporting of Pope Benedict’s trip to Britain be “balanced” by a discussion of Catholic terrorists in Ireland? And what about journalism itself?

     

    I interrupt this discussion of peaceful journalism in Maine to provide some “balance.” Journalists can also be terrorists, murderers and rapists. For example, radio journalists in Rwanda promoted genocide.

     

    I apologize to Muslims for another reason. This isn’t about them, but about us. I want to defend Muslims from intolerance, but I also want to defend America against extremists engineering a spasm of religious hatred.

     

    Granted, the reason for the nastiness isn’t hard to understand. Extremist Muslims have led to fear and repugnance toward Islam as a whole. Threats by Muslim crazies just in the last few days forced a Seattle cartoonist, Molly Norris, to go into hiding after she drew a cartoon about Muhammad that went viral.

     

    And then there’s 9/11. When I recently compared today’s prejudice toward Muslims to the historical bigotry toward Catholics, Mormons, Jews and Asian-Americans, many readers protested that it was a false parallel. As one, Carla, put it on my blog: “Catholics and Jews did not come here and kill thousands of people.”

     

    That’s true, but Japanese did attack Pearl Harbor and in the end killed far more Americans than Al Qaeda ever did. Consumed by our fears, we lumped together anyone of Japanese ancestry and rounded them up in internment camps. The threat was real, but so were the hysteria and the overreaction.

     

    Radicals tend to empower radicals, creating a gulf of mutual misunderstanding and anger. Many Americans believe that Osama bin Laden is representative of Muslims, and many Afghans believe that the Rev. Terry Jones (who talked about burning Korans) is representative of Christians.

     

    Many Americans honestly believe that Muslims are prone to violence, but humans are too complicated and diverse to lump into groups that we form invidious conclusions about. We’ve mostly learned that about blacks, Jews and other groups that suffered historic discrimination, but it’s still O.K. to make sweeping statements about “Muslims” as an undifferentiated mass.

     

    In my travels, I’ve seen some of the worst of Islam: theocratic mullahs oppressing people in Iran; girls kept out of school in Afghanistan in the name of religion; girls subjected to genital mutilation in Africa in the name of Islam; warlords in Yemen and Sudan who wield AK-47s and claim to be doing God’s bidding.

     

    But I’ve also seen the exact opposite: Muslim aid workers in Afghanistan who risk their lives to educate girls; a Pakistani imam who shelters rape victims; Muslim leaders who campaign against female genital mutilation and note that it is not really an Islamic practice; Pakistani Muslims who stand up for oppressed Christians and Hindus; and above all, the innumerable Muslim aid workers in Congo, Darfur, Bangladesh and so many other parts of the world who are inspired by the Koran to risk their lives to help others. Those Muslims have helped keep me alive, and they set a standard of compassion, peacefulness and altruism that we should all emulate.

     

    I’m sickened when I hear such gentle souls lumped in with Qaeda terrorists, and when I hear the faith they hold sacred excoriated and mocked. To them and to others smeared, I apologize.

    MMA hada waxba ma deletgreneynin but a number of times i posted something twice and when i tried to delete one I couldn't. Anyways aniga ma iska tiri karaa mise only 'big men' like you can do it?

    Waa runtaa oo waan muranay (sida most solers u muranay) lakin waxa aan sheegayo waa 'personal attack'ga aad igu eedeysay!.

     

    Ps. waa iska
    kaftan waayeel waxaygu.

    Horta believe it or not the double posts are entirely khalad iga dhaca mar mar (five to ten times so far). I honestly don't know what I do wrong and I even tried to delete them but couldn't find a way to do so.( yes I am that computer illiterate) Balse even if I double posted it doesn't quilfy as khiyaamo. If i need 100 posts i need 100 posts; no one said they should look different.

     

    I said personal attack baad sameysay because you made it personal markaad ku kacday 'been afuuf', 'xijaab laan miyaa tahay?' iyo waxyaaba khas aad ugu ledahay Ninanc.

     

    I, nomad or not, never hesistsed to speak my mind inadeer.

     

    PS: you are still invited to the party lakiin don't bring any explosives with you, ok? ;)

    Apparently all you want to hear about is death and war so that we could have arguments on who is where doing what. You mentioned Xamar and we talked about what it means to us. Xamar is definitely no shell to me no matter how it looks now !
