I would defend him mainly I myself don't believe in these stories. Take for example the story D-block Shiekh up on tree refusing to come down unless he lands on someone-very offensive and no history to prove such man existed.

^I would speculate but I have offended Abtigiis enough for the year.

^lol@blue

I will say get me woman (offensive yes)

You really believe Kenyans will bring solutions?

lool@fircoon Burahadeer..outside influence is unavoidable no matter how hard you resist. That said, Somalia and Somalis should be studied but not out of fear of losing our culture.

^It's always amazed how sincerely people believed in those stories. And there's political aspects to these stories as some are used to justify one's standing within the Somali political structure. In fact, they attach certain qualities to each story.

Burahadeer...What's with this Somali revivalism or is it anti-Arab side talking? Somali folktales are bout deception, fear and boast. I stop telling them to my nieces and nephews. They will always ask what's moral of the story and I have no real answers.

I'm a man from the East, I don't believe a man should have the right to offend everyone or all. A limit should exist to restrict one's freedom and not be limitless at the cost of many or all of the people. How does questioning Somali origins be offensive? And in all seriousness, do you honestly believe these silly stories of Sheikhs coming from Arabia. If someone is attempting to shed light on origins of Somali tribes, s/he should be welcomed.

Do you scan every site to look for bad news regarding these folks?

lool.....Actually, the flooding didn't affect Boston only Western Mass, Vermont, etc. We were ticked at the constant rain though:D
