Please ii goy. This sounds so repetitive.

There are so many other positive reports coming out of Kismaayo, yet I have never seen you run to post them. You, however, ran like the wind with this preliminary news of the situation. Anyhow I believe it is unfortunate that tensions between Hiiraale and Igaal have reached this high and sincerely hope it does not accelerate beyond this point. The factors that led to this point are numerous but not beyond solving and extinguishing it through dialogue and peaceful means. Hopefully it will solved through peace and dialogue.

I remember them bombing a warlord and his thugs in their hideouts. This is what irks me beyond belief. Nac nac iyo calaacal baa meel xaqiiq lagu hadlayo la dhex galin. Sayid Maxamed Cabdulle Hassan was a freedom fighter, a pioneer Somali nationalist under the Islamic religion. His fight was jihad as accepted by all Muslims in the world. His rebellion was religio-nationalist themed as accepted by even his opponents. Cay waligaa, aflaagaadee abidkaa, nac idmigaa, wax ay ka dhimayso iyo wax alle ma jidho. Waayo? From Ras Kombani, over the Jubba valley, across the the Gedo farmlands, over the feritle shabelle, Bay and Bakool cornfields, Benadir hinterlands, Hiiraan farms, Mudug plateau , Nugaal Valley, Bari sea-coast, Sanaag mountains, Sool surroundings, Hawd grasslands, to the Somali galbeed camel roads, south to the Northern Frontier District, the man is a hero, unparalled, untouched, and nothing and no filth you spew will take anything away from his sharaf, his karaamo, and chief of all, his legacy. MISKIN- What is the point about debating about protecrate or a colony? It's just a technicality for goodnessake, raga waxooda u daa.

Over-debated. Somaliland can secede, but it must acknowledge it cannot force others to secede with it. Clearly a good section of the former Somaliland colony do not want to secede, so I do believe it is misleading when you say "Somaliland" as a whole entity.

Waxa kale oo dhigaya inaan la bedeli Karin xuduudaha dalalka Afrika Sharciga Ururka Dalalka Africa Irony of Ironies! Isn't that why Ms. Aden is left howling to the wind?

^War yaad ismooday! Sxb it is Politics Section, Camel Milk Threads, Somaliaonline.com not Havana, Luyana Distrct, Republic of Cuba. You have no jurisdiction over any entity to demand answers. Is ilaali, your question is not worthy of a response.

Why, you don't like the word Nigger? If you wanted to use it to put down African Americans, it wasn't cool. Period. You used it in a manner befitting a former slave own dude. That's not cool. If you want to say niggah or my nig, waa caadi, because alot of my Black friends do not take offense at that and majority of other black people do not become offended by that. Anyways it's not a big deal, but sxb think about how you use phrases like that.

after, why do Togane's words matter to you in any way? Comrade, how you deduced that is beyond me.

Dude, vile is vile. :cool: No distinction, no difference. You're just falling for what you are accusing. Togane is tribal mercenary it seems.

^When you say the N word like that, it's not cool. Personally I don't like Vick and I especially don't like his sneering confidence, but it sure looks like he will get drafted.

Young, Vick have little in common Peter Schrager / FOXSports.com Posted: 7 hours ago In Hollywood, you're supposed to strike while the iron is hot. Rachel McAdams knows it. Fresh off her performance in "chick flick Hall of Fame inductee" The Notebook, the Canadian actress starred in an estimated 86 movies in 2005. Kristy Swanson, on the other hand, is currently starring in FOX's Skating With the Celebrities. Enough said. Hot and not. It's the way of the world. You're either sizzling or sinking. Consider Texas' Vince Young to be college football's version of Rachel McAdams. Virginia Tech's Marcus Vick? He might as well be doing triple lutzes alongside Uncle Joey. Over the past weekend, the two junior quarterbacks each declared for the NFL draft. Only, they did so under completely different circumstances. While one man's stock is rising faster than Google, the other's is about as sought after as a piece of Enron. After discussions with his parents and his pastor, Vince Young declared for the NFL draft on Sunday. The decision was a logical one. Only four days earlier, the junior quarterback stole the nation's hearts. In front of a record-breaking national audience, Young accounted for 467 yards of offense against top-ranked USC in the Rose Bowl. His last-second, eight-yard dash for the end zone capped off one of the greatest individual performances in college football history. The Tonight Show came calling; the draft experts bumped him up six to eight pegs, and the rest was history. Young leaves Texas with a 30-2 career record and as Mack Brown's first player to ever leave Texas early. Soon, he'll be starring in Red Eye, Wedding Crashers and a film with Sarah Jessica Parker and Craig T. Nelson. Marcus Vick announced he was entering the NFL draft this weekend as well. Needless to say, it was under some different circumstances. While Young was with his pastor and family on Sunday evening, Michael's little brother was at a McDonald's, allegedly waving a gun at a 17-year-old kid during an altercation. Early Monday, Vick was charged with three misdemeanor counts of brandishing a firearm, and was released on $10,000 bond. It hasn't been the best week for the guy. On Thursday afternoon, Vick was dismissed from the Virginia Tech football team. Two days prior to Vince Young's All-World performance at the Rose Bowl, the Virginia Tech quarterback had a pretty nice game of his own at the Gator Bowl. Down 17-10 at the half to No. 15 Louisville, the Hokies scored on three consecutive possessions in the second half. Tack on a defensive touchdown in the fourth quarter, and Virginia Tech came all the way back to defeat the Cardinals 35-24. Judging by the numbers, the younger Vick brother put on a nearly flawless performance: 11-21, 203 yards, two touchdowns, no interceptions. On paper, it seemed like a stellar performance. On film, it was a nightmare. If you didn't see the clip running three times an hour, every hour this weekend, you weren't watching any of the sports networks. It was as gruesome a shot as they come. Worse than Napoleon McCallum's knee twisting; worse than Moises Alou's leg contorting; worse than any football to the groin on America's Funniest Home Videos. In one of the more savage acts you'll ever see, Vick viciously stomped on the back of NCAA sack leader Elvis Dumervil's leg just before halftime. Vulnerable and completely defenseless, Dumervil squirmed in angst, writhing in pain. It was bad. Though the play went unseen and un-flagged by officials during the actual game, America was graced with the clip all weekend. Sickening stuff. It would prove to be the proverbial nail in the coffin (or spike to the calf) in Vick's career at Virginia Tech. School officials couldn't get rid of the guy quicker. His rap sheet is arguably worse than any draft prospect's in the history of character research. He makes Lawrence Phillips look like a choir boy. Whereas many potential NFL players have had their problems with the law, few players have had as much "on the field" baggage as Vick. On October 1, with his team handing the eventual Sugar Bowl champion West Virginia Mountaineers their only loss of the season, Vick was caught by cameras giving the middle finger to Mountaineers fans. Classy move, right? Add this to the Dumervil stomp job, and you have a guy that most players who have ever suited up for a football game — on any level — would never want to call "teammate." After both chump moves, Vick offered his apologies ... sort of. With the latter, Vick claimed he went to the Louisville locker room after the game to apologize to Dumervil. The All-American defensive end said no such effort was made. Marcus Vick's early entry to the pros has been marked with rolled eyes and disgust. His stock couldn't be much lower. That is, of course, until you add on the whole sticking a gun in a 17-year-old kid's face thing. Back in 2002, Street and Smith's listed Young and Vick as two of their top 10 high school quarterback prospects. While Young went on to be the greatest signal caller in Texas Longhorns history, Vick's career was about as checkered as a game board. His career numbers are impressive — 2,868 yards, 19 touchdowns and 15 interceptions over 24 career games. He also ran 184 times for 492 yards and six TDs. But the arrests, the middle fingers, the suspensions, the brutal stomping of legs and the questionable apologies — they cast a major cloud on whatever passes Vick's completed over the past three seasons. Draft experts have Vince Young going as early as No. 2 overall in April's draft. The jury's still out on Vick. From what I gather, however, he should be a fifth-to-sixth round draft pick. But should he be drafted at all? Who wants to go to battle with the guy? Who wants to take play calls from a man who stomps on other men's legs after a play? Come to think of it, I should apologize to Swanson. She doesn't deserve to be put in the same breath as Marcus Vick. And as far as kicking a man while he's down, I have no problem doing it now. It's just the sort of thing Vick would do himself. In fact, he already has. You can e-mail FOXSports.com contributor Peter Schrager at PeterSchrager@gmail.com.

Do you really believe that levitation stuff? I don't know about the levitation stuff, but the existence of magic (not on Disney's level ) is not a question. The Qur'an proofs it and even the prophet (scw) was cursed at one point. I am told it is a common habit of people living in southcentral Somalia. Anyhow, the act is so blasphemous the prophet (scw) included it in the seven most greatest sins along with the unforgivable shirk. The prophet made it clear he who engages in magic asserts their disbelieve in Islam. Here is a good link.

Tamim Ansary (Image credit: Meredith Heuer) News: Fact or Fiction? by Tamim Ansary All I know is what I read in the papers. (And see on TV.) (And hear on the radio.) (Etc.) So what do I actually know? Over the years, experience has made me skeptical. For example: One Friday a few years ago, a group of bicycle activists called Critical Mass decided to flood the streets of San Francisco with bicycle riders to protest the dominance of cars. That day, I had to go across town. I was listening to the radio as I drove along, so I'd know which streets to avoid. The reporter said downtown was jammed and the jam was spreading. Then he named a particular intersection where trouble had broken out. Drivers had jumped out of blocked cars and attacked bicyclists. A melee was raging! I happened to be entering that exact intersection at that moment. No one was tangling with anyone. Traffic was light and moving smoothly. I was listening to live coverage of an event that wasn't happening! I would never have known if I had been somewhere else. With most news, I am somewhere else. So are we all. How, then, can we tell if any particular news is true? Journalists do sometimes get caught making up stuff. My friend Michael Chorost caught one this summer. Chorost is a deaf man with a cochlear implant. One day he saw a news story about a deaf man named Paul Wilson, from Bakersfield, California. Wilson was quoted as saying exactly the same things Chorost had written in his memoir Rebuilt. Chorost made some inquiries. The reporter's story unraveled. Wilson, it turned out, didn't exist. Reporter Nada Behziz made him up and breathed life into him with quotes lifted from Chorost's book! The last few decades have seen quite a number of such stories. Jayson Blair of the New York Times, Patricia Smith of the Boston Globe, Stephen Glass of the New Republic, and Janet Cooke of the Washington Post--all got caught filing news stories that were partly or entirely invented. Why would journalists do this?

^Hello! You're making it seem like the issue is about what is the correct form of hijaab or which is nullified and which is accepted. It is not. The issue is about showing respect to those that wear this form of hijab, because of their own choosing in dar Allah. If you do not wear it like that, it is fine by us. However, you must not relagate the debate to what is not about and not give due respect where it is due.

Ciid Wanaagsan dhamaan.

^Let me go between you and odayga xabeebay. Jilbaab is a form of hijab, yes. However, the 'hence' is from YOU and how YOU see it. My argument is that mocking the jilbaab is NOT mocking the hijab, because the Jilbaab is only a subset of the hijab. If u negate it, you are not negating the whole concept of hijab. Do you see where I'm coming from? The premise of your entire argument is misleading. Ahura, do you not see your argument sis? Let's see what you have admitted and let's go on from there. Hijab is covering. Jilbaab is the covering a section of pious Muslims carry out that duty. By insulting and mocking the jilbaab, you are mocking and insulting those Muslims' covering, i.e their hijaab, and by that you are insulting and mocking a decree that was set from above. Sis, this is no rocket science; it doesn't require over-analyzation because it isn't complicated. Secondly, mocking somebody because they choose to be Muslims cannot compare in any way, shape or form to mocking a ‘style’ of hijab! And they shouldn't compare. But mocking a person for choosing to be a Muslim is just as serious as mocking a Muslim for acting out on the beliefs of their religion. Whether it is a piece of cloth, khimar, jilbaab, or otherwise naught matters because it is the intention of donning the hijab that matters and attacking and ridiculing someone for carrying out that intention is not only an insult to the laws ordained from above but also to us onlookers. It is and it is our duty to fight against it. I’m not making a case for the mocking of the jilbaab or for that matter any application of Allah’s laws. However, I do believe that people should not be accused of something they are clearly not guilty off (i.e. being sacrilegious, in this case). Nothing more and nothing less. Nothin in Islam can be called sacreligious other then Shirk and that is because of the mercy of Allah. The unconditional forgiveness he bestowes upon those who repent and ask for it will not let anything stand as sacreligious. However, we will call spade for a spade. Anti-Islamic attacks, particularly against woman for practing what they deem is the correct way of worship (such as this) will warrant our severest responses and defense. We will accuse them of immaturity, lack of morality, irresponsibility, agressiveness, hypocritism, and all other befitting labels on this earth! If you don't like it, FINE, then keep your comments to yourself and don't spew irresponsible nonsense near us [not aimed at you Ahura lest you were wondering].

^Have you ever thought that the majority of Americans do not speak in a southern accent but a more uniform one ranging from New York to California?

Captivating picture I must say.

^Dhibaatada nahay sata waxaa weeye xulufada aad leedahahay waa laga soo tagay waa dad laga maarmin. Dawladaan ujeedadeeda waxay ahayd inay raga hubeysan heshiiyaan oo hubka dhigaan. Iyagaa loo dhisay, iyaga daraadoodne yee u shaqayn la'dahay. Haatana Shariifka waa Gudoomiyaha Baarlamaanka, nin hubeysana maahan, wuxuu ka mid yahay shicibka la haystoo inkastuu ganacsade yahay. Heshiis lala heshiiyo waabaa jidhay oo macna lahaan lahayd, hada laakiin wax ay ka goyn karto ama ku dari karto dawladaan transitionalka ahna ma jidho.

I am less optimistic and only for the simple fact that the Shariif is not and nor was an important player in the process or in Muqdisho. His rise and fall were both as a result of the warlords and their danaysi oo ay ku danaysanayeen. I don't believe he holds any weight nor is he the keys to Muqdisho. As such my believe is this will garner good press but not have any major influence in the status quo. If I turn out to be wrong; then I will accept it. However, I maintain my position at the present.

^Not at all. Call it surprising why the nomad above you commented on the "a"/"e" that held no consequence in my post. I thought I was joking about the "dh"/"d"; how more simple can it get?

^

Muqdisho had been devided already politically and nothing was moving forward. Intriguing. You laid a fruedian slip in the middle of basket. Honestly, how would you have reacted if Scientist or our infamous Yoonis had written those words? You would be a prime test subject for psychology schoole. Honestly kuma caynayi, laakiin I am serious.
