Dhubad & Abtigiis, my point is that both of you have not been following events as much as you would like to think you have. Turkey joined the "condemnation" party pretty late. Arabs have not been doing anything but condemn for the past fifty years. War wax fahma dee. My point A&T is that this is nothing at all. Empty gestures that most people following the Middle East problem have grown tired of hearing (notwithstanding the fact that the one making the gesture is new to the game).

Originally posted by Dhubad.: ^Turkey government gave them a platform waryaa . Do you see the Saud's doing the same thing? I doubt it! Let them indulge their Casiir that is all they good at. Platform? You mean by allowing them to use the ports? But that's nothing new, saaxib. Libya allowed George Galloway's previous convoy to travel through its lands. But both convoys (Galloway's one and the one attacked yesterday) were organised, financed and run by charities, not governments. Don't get too carried away with Turkey's invovlemnt here. They're not going to avenge the dead.

^^ Turkey didn't. Activists from lots of places did. Wax fahan.

^^ Now, now dear. The khamees-weyn are the experts at speaking out. They've been doing it for fifty years. As any Arab would tell you now; talk is cheap. Lets see what Turky will do next (don't hold your breath).

Blessed, have you watched Titanic the movie? This is the Arab version:

War ma aniga baqa? Here is the Khamri clip:

Maaddeey, maya. Kacb ibnu al ashrafkii xuma ayaa ii geeyaay to be honest.

Never mind.

^^ I only ever talk about things I know something about.

The Seven Stages of Murqaan The first stage – Ecstasy: Stage two – adaptation to your surroundings: Stage three – Contemplation and reflection: Stage four – Disengagement from the world around you: Stage five – Delusions of grandeur Stage six – Disconnection Stage seven – Paranoia

^^ Wasn't the Castle in Madina? Was he not freely going to Mecca and meeting people there? Was he not an Arab with a yehoodi mother? Wax fahan adigu.

^^ As if I have the energy or skill for changing my number.

^^ Are you asking me or Juxa? I only ever get texts from one person oo iga naxa (xayraanka Dubai jooga). I have not recieved any texts today.

^^ Anigu ma Maxkamad ban ka hadlay? War gaalka hadaad gacnta ku haysid dil ban ku edhi. Lakin marko isaga gacnta kugo haysto oo aad dhulkiisa joogtid, dee trateeb nooh.

Bah! If only I thought of spending my time on YouTube.

So I spent most of my time going for a ride with adeero google. Here is what I learnt.. One of the marriage rituals of the Roma gypsies is to kidnap the bride. Apparently, if nuune was a Roma gypsy (not that I am saying he is) and he happened to like the look of, err, say Cara, all he has to do is kidnap her (the use of drugs, robes or weapons is not mentioned but I would also wager that he would not attempt to 'lagdin' her either). The happy couple are declared married if he manages to hold on to her for two days or more. I also learnt that in parts of Borneo a married couple must not use the toilet (for both numbers one and two) for the first three days in order for their marriage to be declared legal (the family keeps watch over them). Staying with the theme of marriage, I read the following Arabic jokes (alright, alright, I'll translate): A stingy dying man makes his loyal wife promise that she will burry all his money with him when he dies. The wife makes the promise. On the day of his funeral and as the men are about to carry his body to its final resting place, the wife runs up to them and stuffs a little something in the coffin. When she returns, her best friend asks "you didn't fulfil the promise and burry his money with him, did you?" The wife replies, "Of course, I did. I wrote him a post dated cheque". An Indian asks an Egyptian "Why don't you do like us and burn the bodies of your dead?" The Egyptian replies, "We're not silly like you, we bury them first and god burns them later". On a serious note, I went back and reacquainted myself with the history of the Mamaliks. Briefly, these Mamalik are said to be white slaves that were bought by the kings of Egypt during the AL Khilafa AL Cabaasiya. They were brought up and trained to be soldiers, bodyguards and generals for the reigning monarch. Later, due to a crazy process of treachery, backstabbing and ambition, one of them became the king. After another serious of infighting and intrigue, another became king. Then another, then another. One of them, Al Dhaahir Bebars (no idea how to spell his name in English) defeated the Moguls at Ayen Jaloot. I read a few more serious things but I'll probably tell you later....

Madax xanuun and then apron? Are you going to operate on her?

^^ That could be easily arranged, in a future date. But, seriously, the whole voting process would not even work without prior registration with the Election Commission. When SL takes ballot boxes to Widhwidh, they either already have people registred or it is done for the exact reason of causing unrest. Darn! If that petition was not written so badly I would have signed it on principle alone.

^^ You say 90% are happily under Somaliland and they say 99% are against Somaliland. How can we prove that one of you is telling the truth? Oh! I know. Lets have an election!

^^ Cheer up, grumpy.

Maaddeey, saaxib ileen waxaago waa square pegs and round holes. Ibnu Al Ashraf lived in Madina, saaxib. Caqli xumida jooji dee.

lol@yaarabi towba! Reminds me of a football match I was watching in the gulf when I was a kid. Halfway through the game, the supporters heard the call for prayer. They stopped their singing and sat watching the match quietly (with a few hurrying out to do wuduu, etc). After the call for prayer finished, there was silence for about a minute and then someone with a drum started singing "Slayt(I forgot), Ma salayeet(I didn't pray), yaarabi towba" and all the mad fans joined in. p.s. They did pray of course. (Morning all).

^^ gadaal waxba kamaan keenin, saaxib. Hadalka waxa lago fahma سياق الحديث ! It's not as if the gaalo living in Muslim lands are the ones making these cartoons. Xamaasadaan madhan iska jooji, saaxib. Wax fahan.

^^ Who, me?

Well knock me down and call me a secessionist so called Somalilander if this is not a badly written and pointless petition.
