lol am i a footballing expert or what lol Nedved on the Golden Ball Monday 17 March, 2003 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Juventus midfielder Pavel Nedved has watered down talk that he could be named the 2003 European Footballer of the Year. "The Golden Ball? Let’s not get carried away," he said. "I’m simply giving my very best at this moment in time and we are picking up some important results." The Czech ace has been in sensational form for the Bianconeri this term and hit the headlines again at the weekend with two stunning strikes in the 3-0 win over Modena. "I particularly liked the first goal because it meant that we broke the deadlock," he continued. "But don’t call me the leader of this side because there are more than enough here already such as Ciro Ferrara, Alex Del Piero and Antonio Conte." Nedved is arguably the best midfielder in world football at the minute with some suggesting he is becoming as crucial as Zinedine Zidane was to the Juventus of old. "I can’t be compared to Zidane," he explained. "I simply look to give my contribution to the Juve cause by playing with grit and determination." The former Lazio player will next be in action against Basle on Tuesday where Juve will be looking to confirm their place in the last eight of the Champions’ League. "It won’t be an easy game for us and we don’t want to blow our qualification chances with a heavy defeat," he added. "Things are going well in the Scudetto race but we need to improve on the European stage if we want to continue our march." Juve need to avoid a 4-0 defeat in Switzerland to qualify for the quarter-finals.

Forgotten Miracle 9/14/2002 - Economic Education Religious - Article Ref: IC0209-1736 By: IslamiCity IslamiCity* - Muslims have long been familiar with the scientific, literary, and prophetic miracles in the Qur'an and the Sunnah (example of the prophet). Whether it is in the fields of medicine, embryology, astronomy, physics, mathematics, linguistics, prose, vocabulary, prophecy and numerous other sciences, scholars have diligently done their research to bring to light references providing challenging information that could not have been available to Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) at the time of Revelation. Such knowledge undisputedly confirms the claim that the Message of Qur'an and the Sunnah could only be revealed and inspired by the Divine. However, some other aspects of the Quran and Islamic way of life, that are not any less of a miracle and in many ways more critical to our daily lives, need to be stressed more often. The world vision of the Islamic way of life emphasizes a just economic system. Islam does not deny the market forces and market economy. Profit motives and private ownership is acceptable. But the basic difference between capitalist and Islamic economy is that in secular capitalism the profit motive and private ownership is given unbridled power. In Islam the market economy is guided by divine injunctions that keeps the interests of all parties in balance. Volumes have been written about Islamic economics and several major educational institutes, like Harvard University have set up centers to study Islamic finance. Within the Islamic economic system, one of the main elements is the aspect of "Riba". This term encompasses not only the concept of usury, but also that of interest. Islam's categorical prohibition of transactions involving Riba is a concrete example of how miracles are not merely signs for people to reflect upon and appreciate God's creation. Instead, they are realistic and effective prescriptions to deal with the financial ills, injustice, and abuses created by mankind toward their fellow human beings. This economic miracle is also tangible proof that whatever was prohibited 1400 years ago, is for the welfare of humanity, in all regions and at all times. The principles of an Islamic economic system are based on simple morality and common sense, which form the bases of many religions. The universal nature of these principles is apparent even at a cursory glance of non-Muslim literature. Usury was prohibited in both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. Plato and Aristotle considered charging interest contrary to nature. Shakespeare and many other writers, particularly those writing in the 19th century, have attacked the barbarity of the practice. Much of the morality championed by Victorian writers such as Dickens - ranging from the equitable distribution of wealth to man's fundamental right to work - is clearly present in the Islamic economic model. While wars, disasters, famine, and calamities affect many people and need to be addressed by the people of conscious; 85% of humanity is suffering from debt and economic injustice. Today, there are developing nations that pay the World Bank and the IMF more than 60% of their national budget just to service in the world economy. Similarly, in countries like the United States, every citizen is born with more than $2,000 in debt. These are clear signs that Riba-based economies are the source of an epidemic injustice that doesn't discriminate between "rich" and "poor", because it bankrupts humans on the national and individual levels, and benefits the minority. All prophets have struggled to establish a just system for humanity. Jesus overturned the tables of the moneylenders in the temple, because he was offended by their exploitive practice of adding interest to loan capital. In his farewell speech, Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) instructed the Muslims to give up all Riba (usury and interest) they have, whether they were lenders, borrowers, buyers, or sellers. Gods commands are eternal and equitable and do not change based on the needs of the Federal Reserve or International Monetary Fund. Prohibition of Riba is the best cure to free humanity from economic slavery. It was valid during the time of Jesus (pbuh) and will be valid until the universe stops expanding.

Israeli Bulldozer Kills U.S. Protester 1 hour, 34 minutes ago By IBRAHIM BARZAK, Associated Press Writer GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - An American college student in Gaza to protest Israel operations was killed Sunday when she was run over by a bulldozer while trying to block troops from demolishing a Palestinian home. AP Photo AP Photo Slideshow: Mideast Conflict Troops Mistakenly Shoot Two Israelis (AP Video) At least one Palestinian also was killed. The killing of the student by the Israelis — the first of a foreign activist in 29 months of fighting — came as Israelis and Palestinians wrangled over the terms of a U.S.-backed plan to end the violence and establish a Palestinian state. Rachel Corrie, 23, of Olympia, Wash., had been with U.S. and British demonstrators in the Rafah refugee camp trying to stop demolitions. She died in the hospital, said Dr. Ali Moussa, a hospital administrator. "This is a regrettable accident," said Capt. Jacob Dallal, an army spokesman. "We are dealing with a group of protesters who were acting very irresponsibly, putting everyone in danger." The army said soldiers were looking for explosives and tunnels used to smuggle weapons. He expressed condolences to Corrie's family and said the United States wants an "immediate and full investigation" into her death. "We again call on the Israeli defense forces to undertake all possible measures to avoid harm to civilians," Fintor's statement said. Greg Schnabel, 28, of Chicago, said four Americans and four Britons were trying to stop Israeli troops from destroying a building belonging to Dr. Samir Masri. Israel for months has been tearing down houses of Palestinians it suspects in Islamic militant activity, saying such operations deter attacks on Israel such as suicide bombings. "Rachel was alone in front of the house as we were trying to get them to stop," Schnabel said. "She waved for the bulldozer to stop. She fell down and the bulldozer kept going. It had completely run over her and then it reversed and ran back over her." She was wearing a brightly colored jacket when the bulldozer hit her. Several Palestinians gathered at the site, and troops opened fire, killing one Palestinian, witnesses said. The army had no comment on that report. Corrie was the first member of the Palestinian-backed "International Solidarity Movement" to be killed in a conflict that has claimed more than 2,200 Palestinian lives — about three times the toll on the Israeli side. A student at The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Corrie would have graduated this year, Schnabel said. Her killing should be a message to President Bush (news - web sites), who is "providing Israel with tanks and bulldozers, and now they killed one of his own people," said Mansour Abed Allah, 29, a Palestinian human rights worker who witnessed Corrie's death. Several other U.S. citizens have been killed in Palestinian-Israeli violence. On March 5, Abigail Litle, 14, was killed in a Palestinian suicide bombing attack on a bus in the northern Israeli city of Haifa. Last July, five Americans died in a bombing at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Bush said Friday that a long-awaited "road map" for peace would be back on the table once Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat (news - web sites) appointed a prime minister with real power — a process that appeared well under way last week. But on Sunday, Arafat presented legislators with proposed changes to the Palestinian basic law approved last Monday that, according to a diplomatic source, that created the impression that a prime minister was not independent. The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the move could thereby reduce any pressure on Israel to constructively engage the new Palestinian prime minister. The road map worked out by the United States, European Union (news - web sites), United Nations (news - web sites) and Russia foresees Palestinian statehood by 2005 and an end to Israeli settlement-building in the West Bank and Gaza. Bush has said that first, the Palestinians need to change their leadership, and the road map calls for Arafat to appoint an empowered prime minister. While Arafat bowed to intense international pressure and agreed to share control with a new prime minister, Palestinian legislators said Sunday he was now asking for amendments in the law passed last week. The most significant change was that Arafat wanted the ultimate say in the creation of a new Palestinian Cabinet, suggesting he could have veto power over candidates nominated by the new prime minister. He also asked for the right to chair Cabinet meetings, said legislators. The 88-member Palestinian Legislative Council was to meet Monday to discuss the proposed changes. If agreement is reached, legislators are expected to approve the appointment of Arafat's longtime deputy, Mahmoud Abbas, as premier. Meanwhile, Israel pressed ahead with its proposals over key phrases in the draft "road map." According to the Haaretz newspaper, Israel wants to replace all references to an "independent" Palestinian state with the term "certain attributes of sovereignty," noting that such a state has to be "credible" and "law abiding." Israeli officials had no immediate comment on the report, which cited anonymous Israeli sources. The Palestinians say U.S. officials have assured them that no more changes will be made in the document. In phase one of the draft, Palestinians would carry out government reforms and crack down on militants, while Israel would withdraw from Palestinian towns. Israel would then recognize an interim Palestinian state. Negotiations on full statehood would come in stage three. Each phase is laden with obstacles. If Arafat fails to appoint a prime minister with real power, Israel could refuse to end its occupation of West Bank towns and villages. To date, Arafat has failed to rein in militants

Just thought i would add this article for the sake of finishing off this topic, on this very note of the media constantly asserting, and trying to imprint on to ppl's mind islam = terrorism. Also for those of you who live in the UK am sure would have found true what will follow from the article bellow ((the Special Panaroma Programme that followed the 10pm news, THREAT POSSED BY AL-QUAIDA CELLS IN UK)) Patterns of Global Terrorism 3/14/2003 - Social Political Religious - Article Ref: IV0303-1888 By: Karen Armstrong Iviews* - Total International Attacks by Region, 2001 US State Department Report on Patterns of Global Terrorism The perception of "Islamic Terrorism" is not due to any intrinsic resentment of Islam by the American people. It is understood that the mainstream of Muslims, the vast majority of them, like in every other faith, are peaceful and pay their taxes, trying to make America a better society, trying to improve relations with neighbors and colleagues. But images and terminology influence public opinion, and a bitter taste is left when Islam is reported in the daily headlines. The term "Islamic fundamentalism", whatever it means, has been repeated enough times in relation to violent incidents that naturally, any thinking human being has to be uncomfortable with the fact that America is home to a vibrant Muslim community. The problem stems from negative images about Islam. In the court of public opinion, Islam is guilty until proven innocent. According to a recent US State Department report, Patterns of Global Terrorism, issued for the year 2001 - There were a total of 348 terrorist attacks throughout the world. The majority of these attacks were carried out against US interests in Latin America. These numbers represent the terrorist trend and not an anomaly, whereby the majority of perpetrators are not linked to the Middle East or Islam. The Red Army Faction in Germany, the Basque Separatists in Spain, the Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka, the Shining Path in Peru and the National Liberation Army in Columbia are not viewed with the same horror as terrorist groups of Muslim background. There is no moral justification for terrorism regardless of the ethnic or religious background of the perpetrator or the victim, but the factual basis of terrorism has been either hidden or twisted in the public's perception of this policy problem, especially in congressional hearings on terrorism. The countries with the worst terrorist records in the world are not in the Middle East either. They are not even Muslim countries outside the Middle East. They are Columbia and Germany, havens for drug lords and neo-Nazis. The negative association of Islam with terrorism exists, but no one has ever asked "Why?". The Arab countries, both friend and foe, are run by dictators who have mostly killed more of their own people than those outside their countries. The presumption that these countries represent a threat to American interests or that any one of them can dominate the region or even rival the only remaining superpower is indeed generous. So the issue is not these countries' hegemony in their region or the world, but about who can dominate their people and exploit their resources. The perception in the Middle East is that US policy does not serve the peoples interests; it protects Israel and friendly Arab dictators even when they violate human rights, while it slaps sanctions on and takes military actions against countries whose dictators misbehave, resulting in suffering, starvation and even slaughter, all in the name of teaching the tyrants a lesson. The priorities in the Middle East for the US are not human rights and democracy, but rather oil and Israeli superiority. Consequently, anti-American sentiment increases. This mood of the general public is then characterized as "Islamic fundamentalism", even though the resentment is not rooted in religion. When it turns violent, it is termed "radical Islamic fundamentalism" or "Islamic terrorism." The various "terrorism experts" promote linkage to the Middle East before any other possibility every time terrorism is speculated. They exploit the human suffering of the victims, their families, and the fears of the American public. Indeed, extremists of Muslim backgrounds are violating the norms of Islamic justice and should be held accountable for their criminal behavior, but we in America should not be held hostage to the politics of the Middle East or biased reporting. An Israeli journalist, Yo'av Karny, reporting on the events in Chechnya made a striking observation about this development: "The West will be told--and will be inclined to believe--that the oppression of the Chechens is part and parcel of a cosmic struggle against 'Islamic extremism' that rages from Gaza to Algeria, from Tehran to Khartoum. Russians will seek Western sympathy. They should not be given it." The issue is not Chechnya, and it is not even about Islam and the West. Debates about religious wars and cultural clashes only distract us from the real issue: the powerful want to continue dominating the powerless, manipulating facts to influence public opinion, hence maintaining the status quo. Modified with new statistics from the original article by Karen Armstrong on "Islamic Terrorism"

well we can speculate for ever with this. I myself use the internet for various reasons, i.e. chat, engaing in forum debates such as these, nd of course for educational and reserach purposes aswell as just leisure i.e. following news and buying products etc etc. The internet and its very nature does pose certain dangers, however these are universal to all people not just ung somali youths. I once heard that around 70% of internet use was for accessing Pongraphy :confused: , i dont no what that figure is now. But clearly it can be of either beneficial or potential damaging power it all depends on the user

Salam Calayakum I would just like to echo Barwaaqo's wlcm and warm words, am sure u will enjoy s.o.l. aND i can only join you in your vision Caveman. Indeed any positive changes aimed at improving the social condition facing somalis back home is of great interest to me, perhaps all of use i think. You highlighted Colleges and Other Institutes of Higher Education, those for know clearly are the privilage that are enjoyed by those of us currently outside somali. And really we should try to organise ourselves, in our respective countries, to forming Groups/Organisations that would be dedicated to helping somali's in somalia/somaliland etc etc. As regarding Maasjid's yes clearly they are of the greatest importances. You have identified how they can be utilised to further and improve somali's, be re-engaging those of them, perhaps usual involved with miltia activities etc etc, with Islam in its literal meaning, rather than an accepted tradtional legacy. Yes we are going through our dark ages, unfortunately it is us who have to live through these evil days, but we are the fortunate ones and we should strive to acheiving as much as we can such visions as urs Caveman.

Man i know my football --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Juventus 3 - 0 Modena Nedved 54, 83 (J), Trezeguet 85 (J) Stadio Delle Alpi -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A stunning Pavel Nedved brace has handed Juventus a precious win over Modena Juventus were three points clear at the top of the table and took on relegation strugglers Modena at the Delle Alpi. Marco Di Vaio and Alessandro Del Piero were out injured, while Mauro Camoranesi and Alessio Tacchinardi were rested. David Trezeguet and Marcelo Zalayeta combined well in the opening moments only for the Frenchman's effort to be blocked by a desperate Marco Ballotta save. Modena went even closer on 14 minutes. Pacey forward Dioumansy Kamara charged into the box and thumped the near post with a fierce drive. Soon after, Ciro Ferrara's looping header on a corner kick went over the bar and Trezeguet's angled drive went past the far post before Ballotta's save on Gianluca Zambrotta. But the visitors remained a constant danger on the counter-attack and Gianluigi Buffon was forced to punch away Fabio Vignaroli's shot. There was controversy on 52 minutes when Modena thought they had taken the lead, but it was disallowed for an extremely dubious offside. Omar Milanetto's extraordinary lob from 25 metres slammed the crossbar and came back out for Vignaroli's tap-in, but the linesman claimed he was offside. Replays show it was probably an incorrect call. Moments later it was Juventus who broke through. Pavel Nedved took advantage of a defensive error and went round the goalkeeper to deposit into the net. The Czech midfielder almost grabbed a second soon after with a powerful drive that skimmed the crossbar. However, Modena somehow failed to score an equaliser ten minutes from time. A series of efforts were beaten down by defenders before Andrea Fabbrini's close-range attempt was parried by a Buffon reaction save. But the visitors were once again punished moments later by Pavel Nedved. The former Lazio player gathered the ball on the halfway line, dribbled past several defenders and rifled an unstoppable shot into the roof of the net from 20 metres. It was a magnificent goal and handed Juve all three points. Modena were shell-shocked and soon after Trezeguet sprung the offside trap, but needed a great deal of determination to wrestle the ball off Ballotta. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Juventus: Buffon; Birindelli, Ferrara, Iuliano, Pessotto; Zambrotta; Tudor (Tacchinardi 55), Davids, Nedved; Zalayeta (Camoranesi 59), Trezeguet Modena: Ballotta; Mayer, Cevoli, Ungari; Ponzo (Campedelli 85), Marasco, Milanetto, Balestri; Colucci (Sculli 67), Kamara (Fabbrini 75); Vignaroli Ref: Morganti

That was Beautiful Modesty. Keep them coming

I think all a lot of the credit must go to the Site managers for the hard work in editing am making sure that the forums have remained a great places for exchanging views and eductaing and informing each other. I certainly have benefited alot from this site and for that am very thankfuly to the S.O.L Crew and of course the many outstanding contributors on here.

i dont know what it is but, i get this feeling telling me this war will have a gr8 impact on the reunification of the muslim ummah, it has, to an extent brought many ppl to a common position on this! just hope ppl finally wake up! Am feeling what your saying Northner, but only allah knows when nxt our ummah will be one. Anyway the point i was trying to illustrate with the help of those 2 articles is that all this posturing about the humanitarian case for going to war is rather weak compared to the more obvious and tangiable economic case for war, which is contniously left out of any war debate, or @ best mentioned as 'one' of the reasons for going to war, and not the main reason :mad: which is Bulls***

Am glad that you nomads enjoyed it

I susspect ur trouble making efforts will not be tolerated by the admins The whiteman. Enjor ur time here will u can because am sure u will be kicked off

Arsenal slump to defeat English Premiership round-up Duff put Blackburn ahead Photos from Saturday's games Blackburn Rovers blew the Premiership title race wide open with a deserved 2-0 victory over leaders Arsenal. Their second Premiership win of the season over the champions cut Arsenal's lead at the top to just two points. Damien Duff put Rovers ahead midway through the first half after seeing his initial effort blocked by Gilberto Silva. The Gunners, who lost key defender Martin Keown with a hamstring injury, fell further behind when Tugay netted on 52 minutes. Arsenal failed to put any pressure on the home side in the second half and finished second best. Champions league contender looooool

AP World - General News U.S. B-1B bombs Iraqi radar sites Fri Mar 14, 6:15 PM ET By ROBERT BURNS, AP Military Writer WASHINGTON - In a departure from the patrols by fighter jets over Iraq (news - web sites) in recent months, a U.S. B-1B bomber struck two anti-aircraft radar sites in western Iraq on Friday, military officials said. Reuters Slideshow: U.S. Military Build-Up The strikes at 1420 GMT targeted a radar system near Iraq's H3 airfield and another airfield near Ruwayshid, only a few miles (kilometers) from the border with Jordan, military officials said. The strikes came after Iraqi forces moved one of the systems into the no-fly zone patrolled by U.S. and British planes over southern Iraq, the officials said. The B-1B Lancer, a heavy bomber originally designed to carry nuclear warheads but shifted in recent years to carry conventional munitions, is one of three kinds of heavy bombers repositioned in recent months during the buildup for a possible U.S.-led war on Iraq. As the buildup continued elsewhere, the Pentagon (news - web sites) began moving warships on Friday out of the Mediterranean into the Red Sea, from where they could launch long-range cruise missiles on a path to Iraq that would not go over Turkey, officials said. Of the approximately one dozen ships to be shifted, a first group of five transited the Suez Canal on Friday, harbor officials at Egypt's Port Said told The Associated Press. They identified the ships as the guided missile destroyer USS Arleigh Burke of the Theodore Roosevelt battle group and the destroyer USS Deyo of the Harry S. Truman battle group. Three submarines from the battle groups also traveled through the canal — the USS Boise, USS Toledo and USS San Juan, the officials said. The rest of the ships were to follow soon, Pentagon officials said. In a related development, Gen. Tommy Franks, the commander who would lead any U.S. invasion of Iraq, left his Qatar command post Friday to meet with officials in the United Arab Emirates. There was no official word on when he would return to Qatar. Also, the Air Force announced at the Pentagon that it will implement a rarely used authority to prevent a wide range of active duty and reserve officers and enlisted members from leaving the Air Force. The move reflects a growing strain on the Air Force as it prepares for war. Air Force spokeswoman Jennifer Stephens said the order, which takes effect May 2, could affect as many as 21,000 people, ranging in rank from airman to colonel. The Army and Marine Corps have similar orders in effect, but the Navy does not. The Truman and Roosevelt aircraft carriers are remaining in the eastern Mediterranean, at least for now, officials said. They have been operating there for weeks in anticipation of war against Iraq. Each carrier has about 80 aircraft aboard, including F/A-18 attack planes. The shift of Tomahawk-shooting ships could be the first step in a larger redeployment of ground and naval firepower away from Turkey, which so far has refused to grant overflight rights for U.S. naval aircraft and cruise missiles like the low-flying Tomahawk. The Pentagon had hoped to base a 60,000-strong U.S. Army force as well as additional Air Force warplanes in Turkey for use in an Iraq war, but Turkey has not approved those, either. About 50 American and British planes at Incirlik air base in south-central Turkey enforce a no-fly zone over northern Iraq, but it is not clear that the Turkish government would allow them to fly offensive missions against Iraq. From the Red Sea, the Navy cruisers, destroyers and submarines would be able to launch their Tomahawks for flights over Saudi Arabia to targets inside Iraq. Tomahawks are satellite-guided missiles normally used in the opening stages of war to strike high-value, fixed targets such as government buildings in areas where the risk of civilian casualties is relatively high. The Tomahawks are 18 feet (5.4 meters) long and are designed to evade radar by skimming the land or sea surface. They carry 1,000-pound (450-kilogram) warheads. Following the Gulf War (news - web sites), they became one of the weapons of choice to respond to Iraqi breaches of U.N. sanctions. The issue of overflight rights for U.S. missiles and planes has been overshadowed by the Bush administration's struggle to win Turkey's approval to base 60,000 or more U.S. troops there to open a northern front against Iraq. The Turkish parliament rejected the U.S. request for basing rights earlier this month, and Pentagon officials said Thursday it appeared increasingly unlikely that the Army would position its 4th Infantry Division in Turkey, as originally planned. About three dozen cargo ships with the 4th Infantry Division's weaponry, equipment and supplies have been waiting off the Turkish coast for weeks, and the troops are still at their base in Fort Hood, Texas. During the 1991 Gulf War the Navy positioned carriers and Tomahawk-launching ships in the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf. It now has three carriers in the Gulf — the USS Kitty Hawk, the USS Constellation and the USS Abraham Lincoln. Those carrier battle groups include about 20 Tomahawk-firing ships and submarines. ___ On the Net: Tomahawk cruise missile:

Q? are the people who have these positive opinions a minority, and if not shouldnt we have the greater voice to makes changes favourable to our views. Salam Calayakum Nice seeing u back on S.O.L bro.
