Rahma wins hands down!!!!

Hamjambo wananchi ama ni wajama sikuhizi

Why is this even an issue??? People have choices and from observation these choices...marriage being one...is based on ones live experience. These experiences becomes a reference point in future decision making. If you grew up in a happy home with both parents, 95% of times you will marry one of your own. Personally speaking my mother and my sister were point of refernence when i wanted to get married. Afterall these are ppl are grew up loving and admiring, and regardless of what anybody said about somali womnen I will never be convinced otherwise. Unfortunately for most of the somalis in the diaspora the civil war and immigration has seriously affected the somali social structure and identity. In the diaspora a lot of somalis kids are growing in a single family home especially without a father figure. This is affecting there relationship with the opposite gender in later life. I have met a somali girl who told me she hates her father with passion and has translated that hate to all somali men. I felt bad for her but there is nothing I can do to change her mind. She is married now to a nigerian man. The point here is the personal choice that you make is simply based on your life experience. I just hope ppl wont make this choices out of hate or maliace. Whatever you choose may allah make it easy for you.And for those of us who have choosen to continue the tradition keep it real. Wasaalam

This is bordering harrasment now....are there no rules against this??? Hey the brother messed up and we all know that....afterall he is not an angel...time to move on. I understand the sisters position but they just have to let go. And the insults was not called for.

Does this kind of story validate peoples faith?? And why do people care if that person is famous?? Alot of people embrace Islam on a daily basis and its simply for there GOOD, period. Tired of these reverts story...walahi.

Don't waste your time FFI has been there for the last five years...I believe its run by non-muslims pretending to be ex muslims these ppl are malicious, vile and hateful. On some occasions they have called for the extermination of Muslims. No point argue with these ppl. few have tried to debate them with no avail. There objective is to defame Islam and humiliate Muslims if you defend Islam they flood the thread, twist the discussion, use attack your person and use any tactics in the books to overwhelm you and frustrate you out of there and then claim sucees. PS: FFI is actually at its last leg,the site was hacked not long ago and many members have left after finding out the hatred involved.

Qoute: "Aren't you judgemental by referring all Somalis to be judgemental?" Not according to her...apparently she is above "Somalis"....you know those Somalis who are this and that. Just wish ppl will look at mirror before generalizing a whole community especially the one the claim to belong to.

Yea you are right this is not a joke nor is it informative at all....If it was upto me i will have deleted, it doesn't belong here.

"Let there be light" is a christian concept. In Islam its "FOLLOW THE STRAIGHT PATH" I see the light in Rashids argument but the light is obscuring my vision of the STRAIGHT PATH. I need a reasonable and trustworthy amount of light that will uluminate the PATH, THE STRAIGHT PATH. Allahu Yallam.. Good read tho.

I wonder what our Resident western apologist will make of this!!!!!!

Bashi very well put. What happened In Beslam is horrible and horrific. So is what is happening to Chechenya on a daily basis. I wish I could post some of the pictures of murdered chechnian kids year after year by the murderous, ruthless and barbaric Russians army.....I just wish, but for sensitivity purpose I will refrain. I will rememeber what happemned to Beslam a year ago today but I remember the suffering of Checehnias as we speak every day for the last decade. Its unbeliavable whats happened to city's like Grozny and a lot of other Chechnia villages. Its genocide. Personally I wouldn't know what my reaction will be if I was chechnia and experienced what they have been through. We somalis killed each other out of tribal pride. What do u expect of ppl who are forcefully uprooted from there homes and murdered en masse????

Fight oppression by any means neccessary....Malcolm X Its freedom or death.....especially when your basic human rights is continously violated and the oppressor does not give a damn about your existance WHAT TO DO, Ngonge??? (btw are you sijui)

Qoute: Ah! Why do I bother? Nothing I say shall penetrate your fortified walls of cause and effect I think its your fortified wall of self righteousness and arrogance that just don't get it. ITS POLITICS THAT IS ****** NGONGE,something you dont understand or choose not to understand.

You see for those of us here we can't go talk to her or discuss with her about Islam...all we are doing is basically giving our opinions of her doings. And to say the least we are entitled. I hope you have read what she says about Islam???? She curses and Insults more than what is said here.

OG Girl in all Honesty I think you are not following the core discussion here.

Quote Lander "Whether it's just or unjust is irrelevant to that reality." Very Well put Saxib...couldn't agree more and the sad part is that some Muslims here are buying the idea that Muslims are behind it. Yes the ppl doing this are Muslims and they are NOT doing this because of Islam but because of POLITICAL REASONS. Why cant ppl see this??? Another hint; this war is against ARABS, Islam is used to justify it....you know the argument: we are fighting an Idealogy as suppose to a Race. Its much easier to sell a war based on idealogy than we just hate or we want to control them. You remember not long ago it was COMMUNIST bad not the Russians. Rahma....You rock!!!!!!

Quote: "MEEEEEEEN what the hell is the "tshliung" thing u was talking about,I be lying if i say i understood it,u know what am sayin'." Thats the whole Idea about rudy.....you are not suppose to undersatnd him. This guy is funny tho....Keep it real rudy.

Quruxley from s/net is here...abayo welocome. One the thing I love about being somalis is how spontanoeous we are.....you can just strike a conversation with a stranger (fellow somali) like you have known each other for ages. Also at one time it used to bother me when a somali person sees you he/she stares at you like your are his/her lost brother....never knowing all that is expected of you is a simple iskaarawaan. The most proudest moment was when I was standing in a queue in a bank and these two year old somali kid crossed line to come and ask me if I was a somali....with Somalis you can run but you cant hide.

Your support might or will be needed if you are living in America. Check this out. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/578320.html

As far as its in good taste I don't mind. Me and friends make racial jokes at times.

Wish you a speed recover...and May Allah be with you.....You have my Dua.

Lander CBC have aired his other travels to the former USSR central Asia countries. I remember watching his visit to Kazygastan last month. Lets hope they will continue his shows.

Qoute Smith: "So true, Qaat is shitt. stop taking it so personally, ppl" So true sx. I just wish some ppl here will understand there is a difference between criticizing and hating. Hating is a very strong word. Yes we Somalis as a nation have failed but Somalia failed because it failed to represent its people and interest equally. Something alot of us feel the Arab countries are doing. I am sure if things continue like this in the next 30-50 years we all know the fate thats a waiting them...alas Baghdad. Cairo is already starting to show the cracks. Why are we talking about Arabs and there failures??? Because Arabia is central to Islam. If the Arabs were organized politically and economical half of the Ummah problem will be solved. They have been blessed with language of Islam, history of Islam, oil (wealth), land and a population. In short they have all the ingredient required to establish an empire not to forget the Muslim influence at there dispoasal from all the Islam world around the globe. Just as the Americans are counting on the likes of Europe and Australia, the Arabs will count on Iran, Kazygastan, Pakistan and many more. Simply put they are loosing out on oppurtunities. And that is our concern for them Islamically speaking. Also not to forget the constant threat they are facing that they are indifferent about and is obvious to the rest of us.

I wonder what am I missing by being here at Somaliaonline???? Wonder what else I could have said...uumhhh
