Of course, we are different and see things differently. Faith is relative and must be understood in terms of peoples different ideas of humanity, human nature, values and principles of morality. Unless you are saying you principles are superior to all then its best to refrain from being arrogant and dismissive. Its all relative my friend. There are no truths or universal truths for that matter! Stuff and nonsense, dear troll. Look up the meaning of the word faith, adeer.

A discussion of faith when most of the participants fail to comprehend the meaning of faith? SOL ROCKS. P.S. LG, leave the T man alone. He's doing a great service in cornering all the trolls (note that I said trolls and not atheists). Tuujiye, LG ii daa yaakhi. So ku may odhan Muslimah ban ahay? Dee maxaad kale ka doonaysa saaxib, in ay is qarxiso?

^^ Who? Me and Haatu?

^^ Now you'll go walking around in the sun and your sweat will smell of subag. Wonder if 'deleted' is still in the mood.

^^ Election time, saaxib. These men are so wadani that if you cut them open they'll bleed the colours of SL. Wax fahan.

^^ Hadaan fahmay waxay dadko o layhiin Maaddeey waa NG iyo A&T. War I'm now even starting to suspect myself. When I sleep, you sleep. When I wake up, you wake up.

^^ Sax. I'm going to sleep.

^^ The one below is right about surwaal gabs.

^^ War ileen akhir al leel ayaad ciyaal sooq noqota? Edit Xaaji waa ku sidaay?

^^ Maaddeey, ninyaho so'aal toos ayuu ku waydeeyay, dee adna toos o jawaab. Ha qanco ama markab ha dhaco marka. Maalak ya Sheikh? Meeshano AMISOM ma jirto.

^^ Nakhasko kugo dajiyaay. A&T is probably reading all this silently and waiting for a juicy story to come from PL before striking.

^^ Ma 'I was told' bay arrintu maraysa? Sida Saddam iyo Osama muu cajalad yar iska saaro!

^^ Only one person is arguing with him, inta kale waa markhaati uun (against not for).

^^ Only Japanese poets can see anything in stationary objects, saaxib. If I spend a whole week thinking I would still not find anything new to say about him. Horta miya la hubba in o noolyahay? Maybe a Shabab rocket got him.

^^ Xiino, anigu kaftanka waan kaa aqbalay lakin ciyaal PL ha igu dirin dee. Cawke has a list to bring out on the day of victory and I really don't want to be on it. P.S. Reer PL afkaygaan ku caayii laha hadaan doono. Nin reer Burcaaan ahay, birahaan cuna.

KK, Sh. Sharif only occupies Airplane seats.

^^ War stop being stubborn dee, ma AlShabab bad tahay?

It follows the logic that men name their kids after their grandfathers. Yacqoob ibnu Yusuf will have a son he'll call Yusuf ibnu Yacqoob. Wax fahan.

^^ Warya Xiin, wad ka badbadisay dee. I don't mind you accusing me of being a script creator but I take offence at these wild bullets of yours. I'll have you know that my google-assisted Islamic knowledge is second to none, in both Arabic & English. Naga daaa dee. You are dragging my good name in the mud.

(Pardon the Somali. Five minute job nooh). In a town in Somalia, the triumphant Shabab fighters managed to defeat the Ahlu Al Sunna militia and drive them out to retake the town for the second time. An elderly mother hobbles into her house and starts calling out her children “War Cabdo, Cumaro, Calo,Caashay soo baxa” One of her sons asks “Hee hoyo, maxa dhacay?” Mother: So wada baxa, Al Shabab ayaa magaalada qabsaday. Son: O miyaan la dagaalamayna, hoyo? Mother: Maya maya doqon yahoo. Soo bax oo caliinta so qaad. Daughter: So taan caliinta qaadnay markay Ahlu El Sunna magaalda qabsadeen? Mother: Naa Ahlu El Sunta waa laga badiyaay. Soo bax oo jilbaabka ha ilaawin. The mother runs across the street whilst holding a green branch and dragging her four children behind her. She sees the crowds lining up on the side of the road and welcoming the conquering mujahedeen. She quickly surveys her children and notices that the boys have their scarves resting on their shoulders. Mother: Balaayo! Why have you boys got your scarves on your shoulders like Ahlu El Sunta? Cover your faces now. Caashaay, adna cover your face. The Shabab fighters troop past and the people start shouting and cheering for them. The mother waves her branch in the air with one hand and shakes her nearest child with another as she orders him to shout: Allahu Akbar! A month later... The same mother rushes into her house and starts shouting: “War Cabdo, Cumaro, Calo, Caashaay soo baxa” The children come out running and ask her what the problem is. She tells them that Al Shabab have been defeated and that Ahlu El Sunna had taken over the town. She sees her daughter trying to put her Burka on and starts shouting: “Naa ha na dilin wax yahay waalan. Bahashan xun naga tuur oo masar yar madaxa saar” The family run to the same previous spot and stand shaking their branches in the air. The mother looks at her sons and notices that one of them has his scarf around his face. She slaps him hard and starts wailing about her bad fortune and these children that will be the end of her. As the victorious Ahlu El Sunna Mujahdeen troop past, she starts shouting Allahu Akbar! Her daughter pulls her aside and says “Hoyo, Allahu Akbar waa tii Al Shabab ee aamus yanaay kuwan na maqlin”. The mother sees the sense of what her daughter said and stops shouting. She turns to her children and asks “Oo kuwan maxa lago dhaweeya hadaay Allahu Akbar inoo diideen?” One of the sons lifts his tusbax above his head and starts shouting “Aaax ya Cabdulqaadir” as his mother and other siblings join in. A month later.. One of the sons runs into the house and starts calling for his mother. He tells her that the Ethiopian army have taken over the town and asks: “Hoyo, markaan soo dhaweeno ma Allaho Akbar baynu odhan mise Aaax ya Cabdulqaadir?” Mother: “ Hoyo, yalaam iska dheh. Yalaam yalaam iska dheh”.

^^ Gerard and Torres were injured for large parts fo the season, saaxib. Arsenal would have challanged the top two if they didn't suffer from all those injuries. It's been a freak season, saaxib.

^^ it's the way it is dee (you say it to even single guys who have no children). Bob, the women follow the same logic. Maryam = Um Cissa Sarah = Um Isxaaq Fatima = Um Xassan Amina = Um..bal car guess?

Originally posted by Maaddeey: , looks like ur mixing the 'abu' and 'ibn' here! No. It works both ways. Hassan is Abu Cali and Cali is Abu Hassan.

^^ Like I said, you're an Arsenal fan and you don't view those games with fairness. Alonso is a great player but his absence is exaggerated. The point I made to Oz stands.

^^ The beauty of it in the urdu words that take up new meanings. Such as the word 'under' (which I suspect is from English anyway). That single word can mean..err..UNDER. It can also mean INSIDE and sometimes it even means OVER. Since Bob asked for local slang, I think it's time I gave a lecture on nicknames from the UAE (Al Shabab fans may like to pay attention). If your name is Ali (for instance) you are referred to as Abu Hassan (you can guess where they got that from). If your name is Ibrahim, it's Abu Khalil (Nabi Ibrahim was Khalil El Raxaman). If it is Abdurahamn, it's Abu Cuuf. If it is Ahmed, it's Abu Shihab (Ahmed Bin Shihab was a famous sailor who fought the Portoguese in those parts). If your name is Mohamad, it's Abu Qaasim (again you can guess the source). If it's Yusuf, it's Abu Yacqoob. These are universal nicknames that total strangers would attach to you as soon as they hear your name. P.S. There is one more. If your name is Matar (rain), they call you Abu Gayth (another name for rain). iVaah vaah haada kalaam bohood kabeer bahai.
