But given the fact that these pple are changing sides,maybe they don't wanna be separatists..,There is nothing called somaliland,all somalia is a somali land and i don't see why they should separate themselves.

I think the oppression issue goes both ways.Many women notoriously oppress their husbands too and some infact go to the extremes and the poor fella wouldn't be able to do anything coz he has a bunch of kids with her so in his mind it would be like ''just do it for the kids'...And many women are oppressed,some are beaten up,others are continuously degraded and not appreciated even when they do great things.Well,as of the history of men and women or the somalis,lol,Women have been regarded to be the second over the ages and with the come of Islam,i think alot has changed and every one knows their positions and what to do.Men are protectors of Women and its their duty to do so.I don't see why a sista or a brother got to be complaining in this age....

Well i second to Tahliil.Many of those individuals have a hypocritical trait in the manner of not doing what they preach or when they actually have other agendas besides that ... :mad:

Congrats MD.May Allah bless ur new familiy.
