  1. Excellent idea. Does this extend to other parts of Somalia. Charity starts at home. Still, Afgoye is too far from where I am from in Somalia.

    Money = Power = Respect!

    i think we can all agree that having money greatly increases our welfare and overall well-being. I am not talking about excessive and ridicolous amounts, that not nice at all. But having your basic provisions met does increase your quality of life. Still, its more money = more respect = more power.
  3. This is true! I tried to fight it but there is no ignore it.
  4. well! u just killed the game, i suppose its upto me to continue. Kulmiye = incompetent! New Word: Incompetence!

  6. Idea for this week: 'Planetary Mood Ring': a central place on the internet for every human to text, tweet, email, blog and click in the essence of their mood in any moment. These "moodies" will provide us with an instant emotional pulse check on our planet. Its important we live in a healthy planet! where people's moods are always on the 'up'

  8. ^ someone just had a blonde moment. opps! you can wash the shame off your face.
  9. The film describes the legal efforts of a Palestinian widow to stop the Israeli Defense Minister, her next door neighbor, from destroying the lemon trees in her family farm. At the same time, she develops a human bond with the minister's wife. Won Panorama Audience Award at Berlin Film Festival. Lemon Tree Full Movie on Youtube. Enjoy!

  13. yes it was too much tbh. I found it really interesting when they were rating themselves, adding and deducing points based on what they believe themselves to be! <<<<<<<<<<<< 7/10.
  14. ^ they all too skinny! lol. and look malnourished. women with curves are better!
  15. I thought it was interesting how we always want to find faults in others to feel good about ourselves.

  17. ^ 1. friday is already a Muslim holiday and day of rest! 2. money is integral part of society. its a mechanism of exchange and makes things easier, bartering is too much. can you imagine bartering a car for some goats. 1 car = 2000 goats. its messy! 3. i agree with spending patterns of people. this is a real issue but mind you those who spend unnecessarily are using it to fill some kind of a void. or perhaps because they want real therapy! 4. humans are social animals, who depend on the perceptions of other to define themselves. that is why humans have always used words to express themselves because it a nice way to hide your emotions and what you really think of others. lol.
  18. Some truth in this analysis, but its generalises too much and relies on cliches and stereotypes!
  19. OMG! Amazingly funny Movie! recommend you watch it. She's Out of My League MegaVideo Quality!
  20. I don't understand why we are too busy trying to refute each other. Islam is not set in stone, which means that apart from the divine sources like the Quran and the hadit(together they form shariah law) everything else is up for interpretation. Islamic law is a man made law, which means that it was arrived at from ijma (consensus) of the scholars. There is no literal interpretation of Islamic law, hence why we have different school of thought. Also, we need to bear in mind that Islam has allowed flexibility in interpretation so that Islam remains a religion that adopts to its environment. Although many people have suggested that we should open the gates of ijtihad, I am not sure if this will improve the conditions of Muslims the world over. The very nature of Islamic law is flexible. So let’s not try to assume a righteous attitude because there is no literal interpretation of the Islamic law. This was arrived at on different interpretations of the different scholars. And also while many of you may suggest that there is ikhtilaf between the scholars, you might be interested to know that Islamic law is not set in stone. The best of followers of Islam are those who maintain a neutral line, by not following the two extreme spectrum's. P.S - On the issue of the niqab, we have to use qiyas (analogical reasoning). for example. on the issue of alcohal. this leads to intoxication, therefore anything that leads to intoxication and changes the mental capacity of your acts and thoughts is haraam, thus alcohal is haraam since it intoxicates you. On the issue of the niaqb, i take the view that, if it covers what is considered sufficent in terms of flesh, it has achieved its objectives. anything over that is taking an extremist path.
