what are attributes of culture? food, language, style of dressing, dances, music dialects, superstitions all of the cultures you have described are not really cultures but sub-cultures under the umbrella of Somali identity the people that take up these sub-cultures at the end of the day wether abroad or back home have a dominant culture.....ready for it? it is called Somaali or Somaaliniimo or whatever else you want to call it

I am going to go on a rant here. I don't care when people jostle and shove and push into me on the streetcar. I don't care when some lady wears too much gwen stefani perfume that you can smell her get on the car. I don't care when people talks so loudly on the cell phones their conversation is imprinted into your brain on the other side of the car. I don't care when some lady gets on with her suv-like stroller that you have to climb over it in order to pass it. I don't care when drunk teenagers occupy the back and vomit out the moving car. I don't care when someone takes up 2-3 seats. What does bother me a lot is when you smell like you shat and pissed yourself 9 days ago and are still wearing the same clothes from that day but have since chain-smoked and tried to put on cologne to cover it, but instead got an unholy union of foul odour. This man who looked clean enough sat down right beside me and everyone was inhaling and exhaling into their Gwen Stefani perfumes and the window were opened and people were inhaling exhaling through the bursts of air that came in. The worse part was he kept leaning into me and my vintage 1940s coats... and the eniotre time all I could think was when you smell like a million toilets... do you not have the shame to stand under some kinda of moving water like a showerhead. thats it I am goinbg to start a vigilante group known as PAFO people against foul odours or also known as pah fooooo!!

my fondest memory is leaving home at sunrise and coming home at sunset...and not having to worry about anything but running as fast and as hard as i could and running into other kids. the moqdishu tuna (can't remember what it was called) the house i grew up in, my grandma making all of my dresses... going to my cousins house to watch soccer games my grandma's raaqe jalaato eating a gauva everyday fresh from the market the milk ladies ( although i hate milk now) walking to dugsi and what an adventure that was a corner here and there and all of a sudden between me and the dugsi it was endless horizon the xalwo with the loos and siin siin ...sigh and of course the indian ocean how saturated in colour it was and beautiful...there is no ocean like it... on rainy days licking your lips and tasting salt by the ocean

Originally posted by Ibtisam: ^^^Lol Ariadne! LOL what they don't like what they study or you dont? I met my kusband, when I was lecturing a bunch of Muslim in Ramadan about Zionism and political activism. He put his name down as a volunteer to help save the ummah. ah I love righteous love stories... I can't think of a better way to meet anybody no, if he studies engineering and you study electronics kinda thing...one area of focus complimenting the other... then if you get together you can make robots or babies...or both

Originally posted by Thoth: When was the last time you ever heard of a christian, jew, buddist, or any other religions doing something like this. We hear about things like this happening all to often now. Don't tell me things like this happen, but the press doesn't report it. um... yes... because catholic priests have a spotless record right? A 13 year old girl should have never been in this situation. I am agreed with you on that. The fact of the matter is this girl was raped which is one of the ultimate humiliations and when she sought justice she got painfully and slowly...killed... now where is the justice in that? or even the humanity?

The biggest Palestinian rights activist I know is a Jewish woman. She lived there for some time, keeps me updated with all of these list serves of news mostly out of Palestine and did her thesis on the Nakba... She is kinda a character in the sense that she hates zionism and is wary of Isrealites. My point is there are a lit of Jews in the world who hate zionism and want nothing to do with it. So as Muslims, we should hate zionists not Jews. on a side note* some Isreali a**hole kept pronouncing mohammed.... muuqahaameed the other day and told me I was pronouncing it wrong... till I got angry and was like listen mofo it is MY last name! It has been in my family for generations so don't tell me how to pronounce it.
