An ignorant minority of Muslims believe this is an Islamic practice, while the other 99% don't, and many Muslims have spoken out against it.

N by majority, do you mean the Muslim populace in the west or the masses throughout the world. If you are saying majority of Muslim worldwide acquiesce with your view that FGM is not Islamic practice, then you are darn wrong. I can't make sweeping statements about all Muslims, but I could tell about the cultures that have been exposed. As Somali, I know majority of my people back home associate FGM with Islam. I also had the pleasure of growing up in Pakistan where honor killings are very prevalent. Majority of men that murder their daughthers/sisters use Islam to justify their actions. n As to why the media talks only to ignorant, It is just good TV, period and granted that there is Muslim bias, but dats given!

Sharmakee....All the teams that I wanted to see in the semis are knocked out . I was hoping atleast one latin powerhouse would make to the finals to beat the Germs at their turf. But that's not to be. Italians would do I guess. The Azzuris are already mad at German media for running racist articles in their papers. web page Both teams will be playing for national pride. It should be fun. As much as I dislike the Azzuris, I hope they do beat da Germs.

somali somali ayay u yihiin, mana kala saarayaan somalis.... True...Amxaar mu kala jecla. It is unfornate Nin Somali ah oo Tigray horboodayso inuu isku dayo Somali Dhulkeeda iyo Dadkeeda Qabso. Having siad that, Somalis have little reason to trust each other since Is aamin iiso jirin. Disagreeing with each other views shouldn't translate into being branded traitor. Eventually, all sane Somalis will see that there is benefit in having an occupying force in your land.

Tanug Yu guys. Happyt Birthday , Somalia Hopefully, brighter days are days ahead. Sorry we have failed you.

Come on, the Azzuris have been lucky so far. With all match fixing in Serie A, who knows, Maybe Shevchenko and his boys were baugth off As for England, with Deco out of the Portuguese line up, their chances look better.

Da story reminds of the Padung women in Burma/Nepal & Thialand web page and Chinese foot binding web page . Young gals are made to wear brass rings around their necks in the case of Padung women. The brass rings elongate their necks. The Chinese foot binding once considered as status symbol in imperial China was crippling practice. Still today, elderly Chinese women can be found with severe foot binding deformaties, ironically a lot of them in western China where there is significant Muslim population. There are many wierd cultures in this world. They are all diffirent but they share one thing in common. They victimize women just to amuse men. lucky, times are changing for the better. MC Xamar...You are beginning to sound like typical Muslim. Blame the infidel instead of owning upto our crimes/faults. True, there is western bias, but Muslims do little to dispel these biases. If anything we reinforce these prejudices by proclaiming Allah sanctioned a practice like FGM.

They will be stopped!

^^^I really thought Argies had it. Damn it. I guess the Germs would be through to the finals. Italy or Ukraine would be no match. Hopefuly they will see Ronaldinho and Adriano in the finals.

Argentina just lost :mad: :mad:

Batistuta was great player. Sad , he didn't get world cup under his belt. I guess we will see today if the Argentine can repeat the success of 86, and beat da Germs or if Klinsman could repeat the success of 1990 only this time as coach. It should be a great match!!! web page

Fighting temptations..lool I guess sista it really depends on you. The person will only go by how you react to his advances.So first figure what you want!!!!! Once you do that, setting ground rules should be easy. Create your own borders , and set da limits there.If the guy is geniunely interested in you. He will be patient, and will understand where you are coming from. P.S If he is Somali/Muslim, he should know your reasons. Just one thing though...Don't be over cautious.

NO 100 lashes for the violation and humuliatation of women, You are kidding me!!!! It is death I beleive. Anyone who rapes should be shot!!!....Their actions are deliberate, and it is not hunger and starvation that is driving them to violate men. For bleeding hearts, Just how do you intend to police a place like Somalia. Do you have alternatives?

Soma_Inc...The man is sore loser. He is now along with Puyol accusing Theiry of diving to get a free kick. You got beaten. Leave it there!!! The Spanish was good team, and sadly comes short at every world cup venue. The two teams that don't deserve in the next stage is definately Italy and Ukriane.Lucky, they get to face each other next. I think the semis would be Italy vs Argentina ( I know Germans are good, and have home advantage) England vs Brazil

The refereeing gets more interesting, but I think the better team won here. I guess it is France vs Brazil next. It was good run though....Better luck next time Ghana!!!!!

Zidane and the French do move on. That should shut up the racist Spanish coach. It would have been nice if Theiry scored all three french goals

Already down a goal :mad: ... Ronaldo breaks the records for most goals at the world cup. Come on Ghana!!!

P.S My support for the courts has little to with their adherence to Islamic laws and way of life.

Keynan....Just how do you intend to police a country awashed with guns while trying not offend Western sensabilities? Somalia needs law and order (Kaladabeen). Personally, I wouldn't stone them...Just cut off their "Ali".

No mercy for rapists!!!!

Nice piece bro, Somalis do cry, but alone in the dark with no one to lean on. Misery is their only company!!!! P.S. I have always thought the lack of apathy for each other lead to our downfall. We all do is just mock each other.

Northerner..England in da finals...Come on bro Either Germany or Argentina will win this cup.

I can't believe Italy made it. :mad: :mad: Refereeing in this world is horrible. I couldn't believe the matches that were played yesterday. Sad, Holland had to go out dat. I hope they got a good referee for the Ghana macth!

Yanks Cashar ubaah naayeen. How could anyone playing in MLS be taken seriously. People don't count Ghana out yet even though Essien won't be in the line up. The Brazilians had shaky start,and looked weak against the Aussies.

Iinsaan Waaye...Regardless, nobody deserves to be shoot like dog!!!
