Apophis, Why are you even bothering with Maadeey? The man has convicted pimp and male prostitute in his Avatar.

There is a silver lining in all this mayhem. These deranged mobs running amuck are putting off a lot of Muslims which wasn't the case 10 or 20 years ago. This suggests there is slow but clearly discernable acceptance of the sanctity of freedom of speech by Muslims. This augurs well for the future. But we got a long way to go till many in the Muslim world realize that just because something offends you doesn't mean you have a right to go on murdern and mayhem frenzy. I get offended all the time when girls refuse to go out with me and I think it is my inviolable human right to neck pretty ankles... in fact my life will be demonstrably better if I had more luck with the ladies. My offense at being rejected doesn't, however, give me carte blanche to act like demented physcho.

Don't mind Haatu. Appreciating great works of art like The Master is an acquired taste. Che, you went up few notches in my estimation of you. The Master is a serious Oscar contender and probably best movie of 2012. Only Lincoln can offer any serious competition. And the Master is made by the best director alive today, the same director who made There Will Be Blood, the best movie of this century IMO.

Who woulda thunk it? A useful Wadaad. I'm glad this wadaad is condeming Mutca marriages. These marriages are degrading to women. Mutca is just another word for xalaal prostitution.

But Apophis, Hale Berry is half-breed so she doesn't count. We need thorough-bred mares of swarthy extraction... any ideas? Did Whoopi Goldberg cry at the Oscars?

Ibtisam, I'm dead serious. I've seen a lot of women who genuinely cry when happy. Not bucketload of crying but crying nonetheless. Although it must be said I'm wary of anyone who can shed bucketloads of tears. But these women are almost all white, I've never seen any women from the darker races crying out of happiness.

Madaxadeeg means having hard head, literally. There was this ceremony near Afgooye every year called Istunka. The whole purpose of that ceremony was for grown men to beat each other over the head so they can get "soft head," thus becoming the antithesis of madaxadeeg - garqaate.

Bluelicious, what happened? Are you falling in love with a whimpering guy and initiated this thread to see if you're losing your mind? Yes, you are going nuts; it is official as certified by Dr. Raamsade. Stay away from such effete boys. Women are the softer sex, men are rougher sex and that is the way it was meant to be. Crying men disrupt the balance and harmony of things. I don't like it. Ibtisam, it is true that crying is often emblematic of underlying grieve or pain. But that is not always true. Many women cry when they're happy. Strange creatures women are. So stop peddling this red herring that only people in pain or sorrow cry.

^What am I looking at? A walrus?

Too bad I can't marry Asian women though because they don't know how to feed non-Asian men. I dated this Asian girl while in Uni and she kept serving me these miniture dishes. You'd think I was a 2 year old child. Every now and then I'd gently propose we go out to eat but she'll shoot the idea down with "no, no I cook for you." Balaayo qabtada gaajo ee igu dishey...

Oba, cut the crap man. I know what you is doing. You is trying to garner more support for Sh. Cagmadhige by ingratiating yourself with ONLF supporters. Nice try but I aint buying it.

Waryaa Oba, indeed Somali Galbeed waa dhul Somali lakin ONLF u ma hadlaan dadyowga dhulkaa dega.ONLF waa jabhad qabiileed. Waaga jabhad qabiileed waa la soo dhaafey haatan siyaasad qalin iyo tartan doorasho ku saleeysan aa lagu jiraa.

Apophis, Shukran yaa akhi lakin ani ka ma talo qaadanayo eey qoyan iyo nijaasta oo qoro... I know how to raise my kids and that is the old school Somali parenting principle of Dacas on the Madax for any wayward behaviour. If I'm not mistaken even Cadaanka are coming around to this approach. Wasn't there a big brouhaha about Tiger Mother book that posited a stricter or more disciplinarian parenting produces better kids (or was it students?)? Why didn't they just ask me?

Wadani, I don't know what she could've done because I'm not privy to all the details. But nothing can justify what this psychopath did. Why decapitate a dead man? Why castrate a dead/dying man? This speaks to some deap-seated cruelty on her part. If it was up to me I would brand her unfit mother and take away her children. I detest rapists don't get me wrong.

Maxaa kaa galay ONLF iyo Somali Galbeed. Ka welwel Jowhar, Sh. Dhexe iyo Galgaduud oo Alshabaab willi haaysto. Horta Ceeldheer iyo Mareeg yaa haatan haaysta?

Take yours truly, a man of supreme and unparalleled intelligence, as an example. He has 8 barefoot rascals all little Einsteins bursting with creativity and superlative intelligence. One of them, his seventh, has registered an impressive IQ of 190. I honored him with the nickname Dhako Fuule. Lowyo weyne and Jeega Dheere aren't that far behind. Even my girls are surprisingly smart like Isniino raran iyo Xujo who can read and write. Marka it all depends on who you are. But there are pitfalls to watch out for. No matter how smart a Faarax his children will be dullards if he marries the typical Xaliimo. Most Xaliimos are profoundly dull. My theory is the thing between their legs that they cut off during FGM is wired to the brain; so when the thing is cut so is part of their brain.

Expect only Somalis to justify brutality such as this. This woman is cold blooded murderer irrespective of extenuating circumstances.

A husband lost his wife of 20 years. At her funeral neighbours, friends, family members come to commiserate with the grieving husband. Throughout the funeral the husband weeps incessantly and is inconsolable. This impresses the women at the funeral; they think to themselves he really loved her. What a sweet man! However his closest male friends at the funeral are bewildered at this spectacle. They knew he hated the b!tch to the core. So they ask him, "why are you crying for the wife we know you hated?" The husband: "I'm not crying because she's dead, I'm crying because she lived for so long."

Alla Somalida qalbi adkaa! War gabadhan dhibban maa ka naxdaan oo u garaabtaan?

It is very clear that Sh. Cagmadhige has had brain transplant post ICU days explaining his new found wisdom. May the new, smarter Sh. Cagmadhige continue. Somalia and Somalis don't need a drawnout wrangling over the merits of Sharia vs Secularism. What Somalis need now more than anything is peace, law and order and modestly competent government that tends to the needs of long suffering Somalis.

What is this nonesense about freedom to marry whom you want and different strokes for different people? Get that shid out of here! We are Somalis, lets not kid ourselves. Everything a Somali does is the business of other Somalis. And if the Somali fails to win the approval of fellow Somalis he or she must be tarred and feathered. Walee ka ma yeeli doono in gabar Somali guursato jareer ama saan cadale ama indhayar; ta waa habeenki xalay oo tagey. But we are being unfair to Somali girls who marry non-Somalis. Women in every society are more likely to marry men from other races than their male counterparts. I think this has somethign to do with the nature of women who are more liberal and outgoing whereas men are more conservative. That said there is no doubting that Somali women have a serious and perverted fetish for beardos/wadaads. The kind of shid Somali women do for Wadaads simply because they don't shave, put on khamiis and cimaamad, murmur few unintelligable arabic words and wear catar/perfume (apparently Muslim women are not allowed to wear perfumes any more according to Wahabis) is unbelievable. There is this funny story that happened in small town in N. Somalia. Not sure if it was Burco or Laas Caanood, it was one of those dusty, flyblown towns in that area with hideous looking people (kidding!). A big shot beardo was arrested for a somethign I can't recall. Upon hearing this a posse of suugo-smelling, excited, Hijab laden, ululating women descended on the police station holding the beardo. The guards entreated with the posse to disperse telling them that the beardo will not be released today under any circumstances. That only excited the posse further, so they started belting the guards at the station with rocks and other projectiles leading to some serious injuiries requiring immediate medical care. Now, after long day of work you, the Somali husband, retire to your abode naturally as the king of the castle, lord of the manor... you send your wife to go buy milk for the kids and what does she do? She goes to shake her big **** and get all moist for another man! And you wonder why there is such high divorce rate among Somalis? Look no further my friends.

Walee caawa sir baa fakatey and I thought I was the resident dinasour. What in friggin' hell are you people on about cassete recording from the 1980s? Who remembers making recordings from the 1980s unless you were... no! You guys can't be that old, can you? The only recollections I have of old cassete tapes are from the 1990s and my beloved walkman.
