Asalamu Calykum my fellow nomads, This is a poem my friend sent to me about child abuse, it is very sad. *~*~*Sarah*~*~* My name is Sarah I am but three, My eyes are swollen I cannot see, I must be stupid I must be bad, What else could have made My daddy so mad? I wish I were better I wish I weren't ugly, Then maybe my mommy Would still want to hug me. I can't speak at all I can't do a wrong Or else I'm locked up All the day long. When I awake I'm all alone The house is dark My folks aren't home When my mommy does come I'll try and be nice, So maybe I'll get just One whipping tonight. Don't make a sound! I just heard a car My daddy is back From Charlie's Bar. I hear him curse My name he calls I press myself Against the wall I try and hide From his evil eyes I'm so afraid now I'm starting to cry He finds me weeping He shouts ugly words, He says its my fault That he suffers at work. He slaps me and hits me And yells at me more, I finally get free And I run for the door. He's already locked it And I start to bawl, He takes me and throws me Against the hard wall. I fall to the floor With my bones nearly broken, And my daddy continues With more bad words spoken. "I'm sorry!", I scream But its now much too late His face has been twisted Into unimaginable hate The hurt and the pain Again and again Oh please God, have mercy! Oh please let it end! And he finally stops And heads for the door, While I lay there motionless Sprawled on the floor My name is Sarah And I am but three, Tonight my daddy Murdered me.

Asalamu Calykum my fellow nomads, I just wanted to know what is your opinion about the war on Iraq? Do you really believe that America is bombing Iraq in their best interests or is another motive behind this so called "war on terror" which from where i am standing is a war of terror don't you think it's hypcritical of America to bomb the very people they claim to 'Liberate'. As for the Arab politicans don't make me start on them, they probaly wouldn't be able to stop the war but we never know unless they assert themselves sometime soon.......which is a bit too late. Don't they know they are going to be next? How can they trust America these are the people who are involved in conspiracy after conspiracy, who clamimed to walk the moon but that's another story.

Intersting facts..........predictable. :eek:

Naziha, I disagree with you it might not make much of difference but some oughta show those murderes that we stand by the poor Iraqi people who are locked up in their homes getting bombed and claimed to be getting 'liberated'. Seriously the last thing we want to do is encourage them by not speaking out.

Well........I guess for some people Peter Arnett getting fired shows them that Freedom of speech is a lie but for me i know Freedom of speech is a lie just like everything else America stands for.

The last thing we need right now is another naive American intruding on our purely islamic website "i am no way here to show pity for your suffering, for it is me who put you there." Well thank Allah i am not suffering and if i was surely it would have no connections with you. "middle class white man" That wasn't really necessary i don't really think any of us care about your skin colour nor your finacial status. From starting this topic you are only showing us the I.Q of and stupidity of an average American.

If i had to clone one person in this world it would definetly be SADAAM HUSSEIN i wonder what Bush would have to say about that?.

Mr.Millenuim, I agree with Siman she has clearly spoken for a majority. I think it is revolting i mean if it's not in the Quran we have no right to make it ayah (a verse of the quran) many believe if a Somali girl doesn't get circumcised she will become sexually active. Personally i believe that "morally wrong" is an understatement.

You know whats weird i was just about to start this topic when i spotted it here....weird. Anyway here are my nominees although i like alot of the signatures here on Somaliaonline but i guess these are the ones that really appeal to me; Mr.Millenium Who Am I? I`m not shy, yet quiet. Not overbearing, but opinionated. Not nosey, yet inquisitive. Not difficult, yet complex. Open minded, yet principled. Cautious, yet daring. Passive, yet not weak. Strong willed, yet not stubburn. (well maybe a little) Honest, yet tactful. I`m accepting, yet rebellious. I`m Mr.Millenium! Gentlemen People's behaviour makes sense given the world they see. The only way to change peoples behaviour in a real and meaningful way is to alter the world they see. STHLM_lady You can´t change the past, but you can ruin the present by worrying about the future. Bye for now.

Asalamu alaykum fellow nomads, I thought i might start this subject testing your general knowledge i am going to ask you a question on general knowledge and feel free to add on questions anytime it can be scientific, mathematical and geographical questions. Here goes my first question: 1. What is the current currency used in Russsia?

Thanks for that sistah much appreciated. God bless

Much appreciated Humble brother.

Thanks for that brother.....I found that very intersting. I think i might print that and take it to my next science class.

Man does it really matter? if they are really bad i will give them a step by step guide.

Sophist, Well very interesting story i also know a story that is so similar but differs in small ways anyway most of what you have told i already know expcept the Jins being able to transform into animals.........interesting.

Mr president, Who said anything about women politicans? I was talking about Somali leaders in general nothing about what sex they are.

Sorry if i wasn't clear enough but i meant people from Somaliaonline but for the other people you have mentioned its cool.

Come on Ilhaam it can't be that bad who is you Somalionline crush?

Hey nomads, Just wondering out of curiousity who my fellow nomads admire, you may admire this particular person beacuse of his/her views or beacuse you just admire the person due to their writting style.....whatever. I myself have a cyber "crush" but don't want to name her/him i also have a cyber "enemy" but this is not about hatred but quite the oppisite. come on people don't be shy (like me) just name your admirer

They dare do that and i will massacre them, there will not be one jew alive.
