Nizaar Qabani, mmmm what shall I say? I was so attached to his romantic poems when I was teenager but later on I discovered that his political onez were much better.

I read her wicked work last year, but how about adding "Tasleema Nasrin" (Bengali) and Salman Rushdi (Turkish) to your list, and still there are many of them who are hidden and wearing dirty masks and working very hard to destroy the Muslims and the Islamic States while considering themselves "Muslims". All these ppl have problems with the Islamic Creed. (Al Aqeeda) As Miz Slander said : The Prophet (SACW) already said my uummah will break into 73 different sects. 73 sects all calling themselves the right & pure Muslims on earth, all think they deserve the Jannah. La xawla wala qowata ella bellah. May Allah keep us safe and away from these lost sects and guide us to his right path (The Prophet PBUH path) inshallah.

^^^ mmm I guess I should stop wondering "What's wrong with the weather in UAE these days"?! Mutakallim in Sharjah, ya mar7aba ya mar7aba

Maxaa ku cunaya ? Can’t you get another sentence,, better than this, Moderator. Good Credit to Sudanese : Btw,, are you a real zool? Moderator: LOL @ Zool, Racist. ( You claim Zool is a racist word) Good Credit 2 Miss Moderator: Do you know what Zool means? Moderator: I do and its racist term ( Again u r insisting on ur claim that’s Zool is a racist word). Zool is the Arabic version of nigga. Its what light-skinned Arabs call dark-skinned ones. (My lord, says Who, YOU?!) But when I lived in Carabta, it was outright racist to refer to some1 so (And that’s why precisely I said I wanna read your biography, I wanna know where exactly you lived in Arabia and from where you got this idea?) Amethyst , the post author asked one question which is “How come there is no dark Arabs in Arab Media if there are Black Arabs?!!†I didn’t answer him coz I know for sure there are hundreds of them (Black Arabs) in Arab Media, but ‘Sudanese’ never had the chance to see them. Its either coz he doesn’t deal with the Arab Media or he didn’t try to search them. In both ways, that doesn’t change the fact that they exist. I guess he has to do little efforts to know where they are found. The topic was going fine till you talked about Racist Terms. Why every time you share with your opinion or thoughts about Arabs you give a very dim image about them. It never happened that you said something good about them. None a once. WHY?! If by any chance someone used the word “Zool†in a racist way, that doesn’t mean the word is a racist term. You are a moderator and I believe readers will concentrate on your words more than the other members. Iam not telling you to consider Arabs as the Greatest people ever existed on earth. But as someone who settled in their land, Iam sure you had good times too, so no need for all this negativity in your opinions about them. To come to the point,Zool is a very normal word, like the lebanese word 'ya Zalameh', the Egyptian word 'ya ragel' or 'ya warya'. Don’t let some individuals' racial actions conquer your mind. That’s all P.S: You still live there ..well that’s nice, enjoy your life.

I don't know but I can't laugh: Its either this is aint a joke or Iam too lazie to laugh. perhaps Iam to lazy

Originally posted by Amethyst: Its alarming how some people have deluded themselves into thinking they have monopoly over everything concerning the word “Arabâ€. Talking about yourself dear. Check the mirror, you'll see yourself only. P.S: I will wait for the biography.

Originally posted by Amethyst: Dont despair Credit , I'm here. "Zool" or "ya zool" is the arabic version of nigger. Its what light skinned arabs call dark skinned ones. I dont know where the term originated or how it came to have that meaning... but when I lived in carabta, it was outright racist to refer to some1 so. p.s. "zool" as a term just means "hey u" or "hey guy"... but its assumed that racist meaning now. Very interesting !!! now "Zool" is considered racist word. How about adding "waryaa" to your Dictionary of racist terms, it seems you know Carabta better than any1 else!!! P.S. : btw, I would love to read your Biography next year, can't wait to know about your life in Carabta.

Originally posted by OG_MOTI: Anyway it seems to me, Somali men are ain’t so good in accepting rejection, you meet a girl online, you develop some sort of dream relationship, exchange pictures, then the girl wakes up (usually girls woke up from dreams faster than men) and decides to tell her cyber lover sorry it ain’t working, next thing you know her pictures are all over the Internet, Allah have mercy on us.. Peace 1- All men are not good in accepting rejection, not only somali men 2- ((exchange pictures)) in 2005, cajiib, so old-fashioned and dusty. After all these scandals and disasters happened to the previous girls, are there still girls out there who send their pics online ??!!! 3- I believe its a matter of personality not a matter of Technology. I mean if it wasnt the NET, then it will be the phone, if its not the phone then it will be the Letters. If its not love letters, then it will be one word came out from the girl's mouth: Assalamu Calaykum. and Mr. Mean will catch that word and build a fake story. "She knows me .. she loves me.. I met her.. I saw her.. I took her and bla bla bla. Trully, I feel pity more for girls, coz the problem is that when some girls are making relationships they think they are smarter and better than guyz in these games. Lets admit it, girls always lose more than boyz. Bottom line, keep your reputation safe and quit the bad relationships. OG, you shouldn't have post the website address.

^^^ LOL why $64,000 only, make it $100,000. Maybe that will motivate Mr.Wind Talker to search an answer for the Q.

Kudos to these hardworking women, the golden bees of the country. Though I don't agree with those who r selling the Qaat. May Allah bless them and awake their Half-dead hopeless husbands who are chewing qaat like animals. "Fozia Elmi had to begin selling fresh milk when her husband married a second wife. "He was jobless for a long time, but still married another woman, knowing that he was already unable to provide for me and our children," she told IRIN." I wonder why a lady will marry a hopeless man who can't look after himself or his wife and children. And she knows well he will marry another lady after her.

Iam afraid 30 or 50 yrs from now some Somalis will lose their identity as Somalis; and will ask one day "Are we Somalis, and if we are Somalis what is the proof?!:- "I don't look like a Somali, I don't have a somali name, I don't speak Somali language, I don't know where exactly our ancestors used to live in Somalia, I don't have any proof that Iam somalis, but the only thing I know is that I heard my mom saying that my grand grand grand father was a Somali" The same repeated words : "I heard that .. I was told that .." How can you guyz proof in the future that you were SOMALIS one Day, if you cannot proof now whether you are originally Arabs or Africans. Unfortunately, its always a matter of HISTORY. Our History was not written and still not written, we are not like the Egptians, Indians or the Chinese who have 7000+ B.C written history & archaeology. I don't care if I discovered that Iam "Arab" or "African" or even "Indian", races don't bother me. We are all humans and from One Father and one Mother. But what I do really care about is "THE PROOF". Till when we will depend on "My grand mom said ... my father told me once.. and hey I can recite my grand grand father's name". Its too bad that we don't have any Historical resources related to us. And the only historical resources we have now are "the Fathers and the Grand fathers vrbal words" who are certaily mortal and won't stay forever. I believe that the only way to prevent what happened in the past (our lost origin) is to write the current history from now.

Just wait 4 a month, another study will come to the light and will disapprove this "Live-Longer study". In general, you better avoid this junk food ppl. Whether you are an obese or skinny person.

A "Mallu" female (from the heart of Kerala) went for a job interview for the post of a SECRETARY. When the manager saw the Mallu's colourful attire and gold and well oiled uncombed jet black hair, his mind was screaming "NOT THIS WOMAN." Nevertheless, he still had to entertain the Mallu. So he told her "If you could form a sentence using the words that I give you, then may be I will give you a chance." The words are GREEN, PINK, YELLOW, BLUE, WHITE, PURPLE and BLACK." The enthusiastic Mallu lady thought for a while and said : "I hear the phone GREEN GREEN GREEN, then I go and PINK up the phone, I say YELLOW......BLUE's that? WHITE did you say? Aiye, Wrong number ...........Don't PURPLELY disturb people and don't call BLACK, ok? Thankyou." The Manager fainted....... LOOL Aiye Aiye Aiye

Ever heard about the 5th direction?!! It exists

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajiun. OG walaal Iam so shocked and sorry to hear this. wala xawla wala qowata elah bellah. Samir iyo iman dear May Allah ease this tragic news on your mom, sisters, yoursef, OG Moti, and all your family in Kuwait, Somalia and everywhere. Allah yr7ma o y7sen elaih o yjaazeeh el janna. o y9aberkam ajma3een. Amiin

Damn it I told this Q to 4 people so far and they all solved it very quickly. Does it mean they are killers by nature or they watch many American Movies. Now, what if this guy didnt show up in the sister's funeral??!! Can the famous American psychologist predict what the Lady might do?

^^^ Good Job I know about the Crusaders but not exactly about the Movie. So I entered their website: http://www.kingdomofheavenmovie.com/. And all what I found was the trailer only. Read this article 4 ur info:- Kingdom of Heaven -Telegraph Kingdom of Heaven by the Directory of the Gladiator will be released on 6 May 2005 worldwide. I don't think we need Islamic Hollywood, all what we need is Islamic real actions and that's all. Let them act and produce what they wanna, nobody can hide the truth about our bright & brave history, all what we have to do is to bring back that bravery.

I read that earlier in a Newspaper. What shall we call those replies: Spontaneous or Stup!d ??!! fery fery funny

Originally posted by Legend of Zu: Heheh..wait until you meet a partner from the tribe your parents hate..and see if you go against them..Only then can you claim it doesn't matter to you!!! Cheers Its weird that nowadays somali parents are kinda flexible with other nationalities more than other somali tribes. The number of somali ppl marrying from different races like: Western, Asian, African is increasing. I guess its time to enlighten our people and let them stop this "My parents hate this tribe" style. If your partner (man/girl) worth it; then I guess you can persuade your parents with wisdom and kindness. Its true that our Parents are so precious to us and they are the most important people on this earth, but again if I kept silent, and you kept silent and all the somalis kept silent and said "My parents hate your tribe, and yours hate mine, Good-bye dear & wish you all da best". Then this nonsense will never end. At the end "If your partner is meant to be for you; then nobody can take him/her away from you" wallah law kan from the Eskimos

^^^ I guess nowadays nothing is a taboo anymore People will smoke anything to end their lives slowly: tobacoo pipes, cigar, cigarettes, shiisha,,, whatever. A man with yellow teeth, bad breath, dying lever black nails, black lips and coughing like an old man with weak ammune system, is that a Charming man??!!! And in the future he might die because of lever/throat/lung cancer. I hope for smokers to wake up early and quit smoking before it quits their lives and the lives of those who around them.

^^^ Amiin ya rab. Midgan, black, not pure, not original, not asli somali, not reer hebel, la xawla wala qowata ela bellah. May ALlah helps us to understand Islam well and abandon such awful acts which are totally against our religion.

^^^ AM I missing smsing here, this is aint a Quraan or a Hadeeth, its a poem for a Lebanese Poet called "Elia Abi Madi". Very Nice poem, I like his way in describing the nature, emotions and relationships.
