where do you go to get them? i accually passed by this place that was advertising african films... i wnt in jst to see if they had somali films. no luck. in fact it was kind of embarassing, their selection that is. they shouldve just advertised nigerian films.

^^^ out of curiousity, do you feel the same way about bros and sisters insulting jews/hebrews? many of the prophets mentioned in the quraan were jews/hebrews.

ummm, can someone do me the favor or finding me an english written article about this girl?

were racists. heck we somalis dont even have the social upperhand and were still racists. this ummah can barely stand to look at one another. why arent gulf states giving more? well you tend to feel sympathy for those you have a common ground with and as our own history shows, islam isnt enough anymore. i too wish they would do more, theyre wealthy, theyre our bros and sisters in islam itd be a beautiful act that demonstrates our unity... except were not united. half the time were the ones killing ourselves. lower yr expectations folks. pointing fingers in this case is completely unecessary since were all to blame. in fact all it does is seperate us even more and cause more ill feelings towards our brothers and sisters (like it or not were a family, albeit a dysfunctional one). and as for those quoting western media, i thought we all agreed they cnt be trusted, especially on topics related to islam.

this is the rudest thing ever. you go to someones wedding, free food, entertainment e.t.c, and all you do is find the faults in it. aght, people like that make me angry. $tupid girls.

how do i know where my money is going if i use the link on sol's front page. i mean, do we get a receipt, what exact organizations will the money be going to? cause when i look at it, im tempted to try another route.

allahu naxaristo

exactly what takes place at these "conventions"? it sounds good and inviting, bt im just curious how it takes place. is there a theme? like what all the speakers will talk about? does the ticket include all three days or one of the three and are all days dedicated to the same topics/speakers? im curious, insha allah ill come next year.

converts make some of the best muslims, however you should still do yr homework on them before marriage jst like you would with a born muslim.

im angry they got pics of the girl without her hijab.

id imagine the people on sol represent the average somali... at least the average somali in the west.

i heard alot about this group from american media recently, its funny cause they portrayed themselves (the american govt) as saviors to these poor brutalized africans (they made it seem like the majority somalis were like the "arab sudanese"). they accually tricked the mom into saying that shell let her daughter date since shes in america. subxanallah. if there is anything we can do to help let us know, im also interested in knowing the latest developments about their situation. may you be rewarded for yr efforts. masha allah.

its our national past time, to spit on somali women that is. our own mothers do it to us. its not to hurt us, im not quite sure why it is, bt im positive its not to hurt us. you know what i mean, the obscene jokes somali women like to make about girls (their daughters, neices, etc) and if you cringe or reproach them, than yr westernized or soft.i wont even verbalize what im talking about, im confident you all knw what i mean... and i love my hoyo with all my heart, bt this is something that as somalis we do and are exposed to very early on.

subxanallah, is this the man whose father did a documentary about him? i think i saw it.

i think you guys are forgetting iman is gven by allah, and isnt determined by your race or ethnicity. in fact, we may all have a similar or worse faith if allah wills it and even than He wouldnt lose anything from it. in the end, he is the loser. let him believe what he wants, just keep him away from the kids.

well if i remember correctly, kids tend to tease and make you miserable when yr different. at 5, shes probably getting enough questions like why do you dress (or yr parents) funny? why is yre skin like that? why comes yr gums arent pink bt dark? (im flashing back to my own memories here) basically kids will ask all kinds of questions, sometimes to be mean and point out a difference other times out curiousity. either way, it puts her in an uncomfortable position and may, if not checked early on, result in her disliking the stuff that makes her different. help her gain some self confidence on the subject, go talk to her. btw, i dont think anybody on this site thinks its reerre badiyonimo to speak and write somali. if anything, they (me included) feel left out when entire discussions are held in aff somali. i dont mind comments, bt an essay lenght reply will just make my eyes cross.

Originally posted by Simply_the_Best: ^^walaahi maku fahmin....walaahi I ain't trying to be cheeky or anything but honest to god kuma fahmin. sori i was just saying how we, somalis, are very closely linked to one another. so close that often (im guessing here, this isnt research) wed have only a couple of degrees seperating us from another random somali.

‘O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as Awliyaa’ (friends, protectors, helpers), they are but Awliyaa’ of each other’ [al-Maa’idah 5:51]

ive been saying this for years, its why i never understood this whole qabil hating buisness. were all damn related anyways. how many times has it happened to you that you read a news article here, and found out the guy or girl were discussing is accually a cousin of yours? if you say zero than you need to call yr mom cause shell correct you. you wanna know whose mine? the ohio bomber... and many mooooorre© barbershop quartet. recently i found out one of the folks who moved into my neighbourhood is accually a childhood friend of my fathers... my dad is 60 years old, hasnt been in somalia for at least 20, and he meets his childhood friend here in this dinky little town. there are numerous other examples i wont mention just yet bt share yr own if you like.

I CAN SEE!

5 men on 1 woman... the lowest of men are the ones who settle their scores with women. thats a quote from my brother on kaffir men sneering at me cause of my hijab, bt it applies here. on the flip, not all 5 can be guilty, there is only one shooter, and possibly 1 or 2 guys who egged him on. they cant have all done it. anybody know their ages?

:mad: What pisses me off is the other ones that have the kamaar on but are wearing some tight-a$$ jeans..what the h3ll is that???? you're conscious enough to cover your hair, but you're too dumb cover your a$$... Come on sisters, get your priorties straight... P.S. Orgi, Allah aan kagabaryey in oo kugu gargaaro gabar asturan. [/QB] i think those girls are the ones who were "pressured" to wear it... it has its pros and cons. i think since it identifies you as muslim, at least the kid will be less likely to go out and do haraam, on the other hand men (muslim men in particular) will see this as just poor iman on the girls part and maybe not respect her boundaries as much... or i could be wrong and they could just be vain and looking forward to the heads theyll turn.

... except yr supposed to avert yr eyes...AVERT YR EYES!!

oooh, ive also been told that when men marry younger women (like a 7 year or more gap) they suddenly feel insecure and make it an issue to kinda "break their wifes spirit"... ya know, so they dnt think theyre too fresh and leave for someone younger. now, im not saying this will happen to you guys, you probably have a more stable head on yr shoulders, however if you see these qualities in yrselves fellas (jealous, insecure), maybe you should take the time to curb them b4 you marry. shaytaans favourite accomplishment is divorce and he works better in compliance with yr weaknesses.
