he is Muslim, Soomaali, Carabi-speaking, Ingiriis-speaking, highly regarded journalist, and Aljasiira equally is a firebrand whose heat was felt on certain corridors of power. I agree with you there MMA and I am glad that they've appointed him, but I've to point out that he's not a 'arabic' speaker, just for the records! During his 'stay' in Iraq as a reporter, he attended 'arabic' classes but did not finish it.

You're truely on a different agenda here Xiinfaniin! Are you saying that 'iranians' and 'iran' in particular as a nation can not be judged to be infidels? Many people have said that 'we' were wrong to judge people because no body knows what is in their hearts. Yes, only Allaah the glorified knows what is within their heart but that doesn't mean the rest of us can't judge their actions. Today Iran is controlled by a shiite elite, whose origins are from the jewish/christian and the zoroastrianism traditions of way of life! Xiin, from your post it is apparent that you don't acknowledge the fact that shiit's are not muslims. You simply say that 'you do not agree with their practices', that in itself is a 'mistake', good Xiin. I urge you to come out of your closet and 'say' that shiites are not muslim, judging from the fatwas and the ruling of the ulama it's for everyone to see that shiites have long time left the fold of Islaam. Now, what are you implying here Xiin, is it that we cannot make 'judgement' regarding shiites and their beliefs. Would you like 'me' to shut up and not warn against the dangers of that 'wicked' religion of fire-worshipping lunatics in Iran. I have watched a programme last year about Iran, they've a public holiday that Persia used to celebrate in honour of the 'fire' and now it's a public holiday in Iran. Every year they make 'Eid', in fact is much more bigger than Eid'ul Adha and Eid'ul fitra combined together. They make ancient traditions and narrative, sweets and presents to each other like it's Eid. That's for me blantant kufr, good Xiin! I did not say or make 'kaafir' the ordinary iranian on the street but what they stand for, there always exceptions like although the US is anti-muslim and a kaafir nation as much as the UK is but there could be one or two good souls living in those countries but they sure wouldn't describe themselves as 'americans' or 'british', because it was the sunnah of the prophet to 'contradict' kaafirs actions and labels e.g. if you're british in the hereafter you'll be with your 'friends' the british! I already said and pointed out that the 'majority' of iranians are unbelievers. Yes they've a tiny sunni majority but they have much closer links to the khaleej and their brother across the sea in the arabian peninsula! I don't want Iran to get a Nuclear weapons arsenal because the first thing they would 'nuke' would be Makkah and Madinah! If you Iran is not a 'muslim' country what are iranians then, surely not muslims!

Oh, my dear. I don't ask anyone for permission to change my name because I am a free agent to myself and I don't act on anyone except on my free will and right to excercise and execute my choice!

Yeah, exactly I got all of those attributes but because out of 'injustice' and my personal 'responsibility' as the head of the 'front against bullies', I ought to defend the honour of all the nomads in here! You have unjustly mocked and ridiculed a 'nomad', which is unacceptable and if later on the same is suggested to you and 'your partner in crime', you suddenly get to 'see' that it's not always constructive thing to do, to label someone what he/she does not want to be labelled with. Sheikh 'bum bum' is a art of mockery and if I suggested to the gentlemen that he changes his name into pi followed by 'ss', then it suddenly clicked and it wasn't anymore that 'funny' to make a mockery out of someone. I hope you get the message and learn a valuable lesson!

Katrina, your friend Pi is already half-way there and if he could add a 'ss' to his name that would just make it great!

Just add 'ss' to your pseudo, to make it a name that describes your attitude!

What late addition? I can't see any! P.s. do you really believe I am a bully? I am tolerant, peaceful, loving and understanding! And simply I don't know what you're implying here.

Why is that, fab katrina?

Ka daaya 'sheikh *** *** waa arrin xunne! Haddi kale haduu ooyo idinka ka masuul ah! Taas ogaada. Message produced by 'the front against bullies' or better known as 'FAB', yeah that's my organization!

Thanks! (Nice, another easy post).

yeah the same with me that's because 'they' changed it from 50 to 100. I was an nomad, than suddenly a alien but now I am a 'nomad' again because I reached 100 posts. You only have a couple of 'posts' to go, why don't you become a nomad, just go through all the threads in here and type 'hallo, it's mini' on and on and if you get tired you can add 'hello, it's mini again' so forth so on etc. Or better go to the 'jokes' section and 'invent' short jokes. But by far the best 'way' to get more posts is to make comments like 'oh, that's nice'(although, you don't mean it however it will give you posts and that's all you desire, right?) If I hadn't be a 'bad boi' I'd right now have over 1000 posts probably right now. But never mind. P.s. if you're really desperate you can 'purchase' posts from other 'nomads' in exchange of 'cash' some might even take check etc. I myself can get you 'posts' at a relatively cheap price. I am the best in my 'block' and if you need a great deal, I'll try my best for you.

lool Ahura, All the years playing in the backyard of my school, I never fell in love with anyone! I've got a phobia on blacks and whites!

What are you implying Zafir, I am "fair" coloured 'waan midab furanahay oo waxaan ahay nin cas'. I don't care if it owned by someone else because that's the best description I can think off. I've got relatives who are 'yellow', so because it's owned by 'chinese' my relative can't be yellow you're saying. It's like saying 'yeah, my niece is nine years of age and 'your cousing can't be nine years of age' because 'the age of nine' is already reserved for my niece. Maybe the people you descriped should apply for a 'patency' to the label 'brown'. I am brown and no one can deny it to me, unlike some close relative of mine who is really black. Somalis got different skin colours like this guy below: Comapared to this one, what colour would you call this one:

It depends, neither of them really fits in with my skincolour. To be truely coloured I'd have to be a rainbow and to be black I'd had to be really black. I am brown both terms are missing the point. The same with "white", what is really white? No one can be white. Brown and proud. Brown Power!

C'mon, don't act like you're dumb, poor kashanre. What is up with this wahhabism that everyone seems to have a go at. For the record I am not a wahhabi, in fact there is no one who calls himself a wahhabi because the term/description was coined by the British because out of mockery, like the orietalists invented the description Mohammedanism! We do not worship the prophet Muhammed peace be upon him, nor do we worship Muhammed bin Abdiwahhab! Muhammed bin Abdiwahhab, was a righteous man who saw the ignorance of his contemporary, who worshipped graves and dead people, that's why he preached the tawhid (the oneness of Allaah), only for that reason was he made an escapegoat and a viallain! Even my grandmother, when she encounters a difficulty she says and prays to dead people e.g. she says: Awoowe Faarax Shirwacow, Abdulqaadirow so forth etc. That's blantant shirk because what can a dead person do for you! Is beyond comprehension and absolute shirk. Muslims have to stop worshipping graves and dead people, is that something to get angry about? That's what you call wahhabism, although it's called tawhiid (or confessing to the onenes of Allaah the glorified). The shia are even worse their imamate is more important to them than Allaah the glorified! Now that's something to get worried about I say.

It is reported that Garad Abdiqani died in Djibouti this afternoon after living there for the past six month for medical treatment. Waxaan illaahay kaga baryeynaa in uu Garaadka unaxariisto, jannada firdowsana ugu waraabiyo samir iyo imaan ehelkiisa iyo dhamaan reer puntiland ka siiyo. Amiin

Possible future conversations on the case of Sangub after he has been aquitted of the false and alleged charges made against him! Sol Nomad 1: I can't believe that they have aquitted that "child molester"! Sol Nomad 2: Why are you getting fired up, he was aquitted by a court of law and found not guilty? Sol Nomad 1: What do you mean "he was found not guilty"? For me he was allways guitly. Sol Nomad 2: What do you mean he was "always" guilty? Sol Nomad 1: You see I never liked that guy anyway and apart from that he "dissed" and insulted my clan? Sol Nomad 2: How can he "insult" your clan, when his mother is from the same clan as you and his two wifes are also the same clan as you? BTW did you not know that you're his maternal uncle. Sol Nomad 1: But he "hates" on us and we have to defend the girl by all means because Sangub is "evil". Sol Nomad 2: You don't seem to understand he was not found guilty on the charges brought forward by the girl, whose case was thrown out of the window. Sol Nomad 1: But still that doesn't compensate for him insulting my clan. Sol Nomad 2: What clan, didn't I just tell you that his mother is from your clan and both his wives as well? Would someone diss his mother? Sol Nomad 1: Anyway his poetry is shiidh too. Sol Nomad 2: Why are you hating on this guy? Sol Nomad 1: I am not hating but he's not an abwaan. Sol Nomad 2: How come? Sol Nomad 1: I don't know. Sol Nomad 2: Yeah exactly you don't know. Sol Nomad 1: Oh you support him because out of clannism. Sol Nomad 2: Excuse me, me and sangub are from diffent clans and by the way the girl is closer to me than Sangub will ever be clan-wise. Sol Nomad 1: Em' Em ah, ah. But you support him because out of patriarchy. Sol Nomad 2: Don't be daft (****** ). Sol Nomad 1: Okay, I confess I've been silly and extremely ****** . I appologise to the Abwaan. Sol Nomad 2: He doesn't need your appology, now get on with it. Sol Nomad 1: Well, I suppose I'll never stop hating. Sol Nomad 2: Good for you fella. Cuqdad lee ha udhiman. Sol Nomad 1: Walle waa runta waxa i haya waa calool xanuun iyo cuqdad ee ma iga ahan daacadnimo iyo "gabarta ha loo gargaaro", illahayna dambi dhaaf ayaan waydiisan. Sol Nomad 2: Illaahay hakuu dambi dhaafo, inshallah. Sol Nomad 1: Amiin! End of conversation. Important Notice: Both Sol Nomad 1 and 2 do not exist in real life, they're fictional characters deployed to make or reinforce certain points and attitudes. This has nothing to do with the trial whatsoever.

Thanks for the advice, poor Kashanre! Nevertheless to hell with the Ithna Ashariyya of the rafidah and the rest of the Shiits.

Bottom line, shii’ism in general (par that one sect as I’ve said) is not considered by the scholars as part of Islam and we can say that anyone with knowledge who attests to it knowingly is not a Muslim. I have come across such people, people who know the ins and outs of the correct caqiidah yet due to some misguided conspiracies chose to deny it as the truth- that said I or anyone else cannot say hebel hebel is a kaffir. That's what I was trying to say, that whoever knowingly doubts rafidihs not being muslim after have read what the ulama said has truelly himself committed an act of disbelief! I said that Iranians are not muslim because on the grounds that Iran is not a Islamic country. Can we assume that Iran is a muslim society? No because the vast majority of it's inhabitants is misguided and infidels. Today Iran is politically, culturally, religiously, economically and morally controlled by rafidihs! It's the intentions that counts all I did say might be an act of generalization but I believe it was right. When we muslims curse America or the west that doesn't mean that because "muslims", who live their are exempt. It's their fault that they live in a Kaafir land, the same is for the tiny sunni minority that lives inside Iran. There is no thing as iranians because they belong to different ethnic communities and backgrounds like the persians, turks, kurds and Arabs. The majority of the tiny arab population who are muslims are not considered as "iranians" and they've more in common with their brethren in the neighbouring gulf states than Iran. Yes the majority of shia sect have disbeliefed except for one sect that is actually not shia, they're a proper madhab and school of thought called the Zaydiyah. I say down with Iran and iranians because the reason for their existence is to annihiliate muslims. They're our enemies like the russians and americans are our enemies in fact they're worse. P.s. I didn't condemn or accusse the "individual" iranian on the street but the vast majority and the country, which is culturally, politically and morally corrupt and no good muslim would live in that country the same with us because "if" we were good muslims we would have long time emigrated from kuffar land and country. May Allaah the exalted guide us to the right way and accept our repentence and open the gates of Al-jannah for us. Ameen! Victory to Islam, down with rafidis and shiits

I don't need an account. I am always paid in cash or check! Also I don't hide my money, it's always in my side pockets of my trousers. I don't mind either if I've £400 or £600 in my pockets but sometimes I only keep a couple hundred Sterling pounds in my pockets. Luckily I was never robbed and I don't fear anyone. Sometimes the money sticks out of my side pockets but I don't mind if people give me weird looks. I am a walking bank and atm machine and I am well proud!

^If that includes excepting rafidahs/shia as my brothers I politely decline for my "horizon" to be widened! Shia/Rafidahs have their mosques and they do not come to our mosques and if they do they pray behind their Imam and not that of the sunnis! They do not touch the ground with their foreheads because supposedly Ali's blood rahimahullah was spilled on the ground that's why they use a small rock/stone when they make their sujood! What does it say about Rafidahs. During the sujood one is the closest to his creator and surely the salat has some shurood and one of them is that your forehead has to touch the ground and not sit on a rock like the rafidahs do! --------- Sincere, you've lost it. I won't let you go away with what you wrote. If you still doubt that rafidahs are not muslims, you're indeed misguided. I told you recently what is coming out of Azhar academic is questionable! I would rather trust the likes of Imaam Shaafici, Maalik, Xambal and Xanafi than some head of Al-Azhar who made a fatwa in 1959! The Ithnaa 'Ashariyya of the dominant rafidah sect in Iran is absolutely and beyond doubt kaafir and they indulge in kufr and shirk! That's all I've to say and may the creator guide you to the right path, you and Viking!

Inshallaah I am hoping to compile a chronicle guide to the various cities of our homeland. The reason being is that so many of us don't realise or know nothing about "our" cities, whilst they know places they've never been to like London, Los Angeles, New York or Hongkong. They claim that they don't know much about Somali cities because they have never been there or that they were born outside Somalia but that doesn't give them any excuse not knowing the cities of their country of origin. It is their homecountry and inshallah some day maybe they will go to one of the cities that I am compiling now and find the relevant information useful. I will talk about many aspects like location, people, population, cities history, the origin of the name of the city and it's meaning etc. On the other hand I'll also tackle some political aspects and historical facts that could be disputed but the aim is to present facts from varified sources. On top of that I'll provide images and pictures (not to many) of the cities I am about to give a thorough guide to. Stay with me!
