I don't think it's fair or even constructive to compare pre-Reneissance Europe and modern-day Africa; the Europeans of that age never dealt with constraints of even half the magnitude African states face today (globalization: one word says it all). Who's to say that Africa's renaissance hasn't already occurred? Actualy Pre-Renesssiance europe was very much like Africa today, full of wars,Poverty, diesases , and colonised by Moorish Warriors but managed too free them selves from that cycle. Of Course Gobalisation is a major factor affecting africa but i don't think its the main factor.Question is How do we Break this Cycle or Our we doomed till the Day of Qiyama(judgement day). The Empires of Mali (Timbuktu ring a bell?), Ghana, Abyssinia and the Ancient Egyptians and Nubians don't count for much? Of course these Empires & Kingdoms are the pride of Africa, and african achievement same as the europeans take Pride in Roma and Greece.

Aussie v Allblacks? no match allblacks all the way, always supported allblacks even tho iam in australia. Iam waiting for england v allblacks game, and allblacks crushs them Viva allblacks.

A Rinascita or Risorgimento, an African rebirth after a long colonial death, a golden age for the sorely tried people of Africa.The question is can Africa ever have a Renasissances which can match that which europe had and excel in Religion, Art,education, science, and self-confidence. If we go back to europe before the Renaissance, Europe was nothing more than a few city states, warlords, alot of wars,poverty and dieases, very much like Africa today. So Can this be achieved or will Africa forever be remeber as the "Dark continent" ravaged by wars,poverty and Dieases too the brink of Extinction?

I also read somehwere that due to our very large families (ie 6.8 children and not 2.4), by the year 2020, major cities in the UK and USA will be majority muslims. With less kafurs getting married and having kids due to their 'careers' being more important than kids. Now that i can look forward to!! Amin too that, can't wait either

I think theirs is a somali national team, but iam not sure where their based. Anways these is the team i support in somalia www.Elmanfc.com Viva Elman

Nothings wrong with been arab, but their is something wrong been a "wannabe".

Actualy, somalis are not arabs as much as Arabs are not somalis.Somalis are from Cushitic people, who are part of the larger hamitic race. While arabs are semites. Heres some interestings things about the Ancient Cushitics.: The first organized states in human history were founded by Hamitic (Southern) peoples: Sumerians, Egyptians and Kushites. Kushites were originally settled in Mesopotamia and Sumerians were just one of their tribes. Nimrod was the son of Kush, and the land of Shinar was often called "Kush" even many centuries later. His name was present in the city of Kysh and is still remembered in Kuzistan, by the Eastern shore of the Hidekel. The anarchic style of Kushites, that were unable to keep unity and to found an enduring kingdom was the main cause of emigration of most of them. Sumerians prevailed over the other tribes, that searched other lands to settle going southwards. They found fertile lands after having crossed the wilderness of the Arabian peninsula, in the country that now is known as Yemen, and in the opposite shore of the sea, in Africa. The tribes settled in Southern Arabia are usually known as Sabeans, yet, they are not the same people as the Semitic Sabeans that came later in the same geographic area. The tribes in Africa are commonly called Ethiopians - that in ancient times included Nubians and all peoples beyond the southern border of Egypt. The Kushitic have left scarce traces of themselves as they were overwhelmed by the Semitic cultures that followed, but what is certain is that they had a particularity that was transferred to their Semitic successors until the early Arab period: to have queens rather than kings. There was a high number of women among Kushitic and Meroitic sovereigns, as well as in the early Sabean period in Yemen. Such pattern was also common to other peoples of Arabia for centuries. The pre-Semitic Kushitics have left some hints that allow to identify them as tribes that created a sort of organized states or kingdoms before the Semites' arrival; they were the peoples of Savtah, reported in ancient chronicles as Sabatan, whose capital was the city of Shabwah; Savtekah settled nearby towards northwest; and Ra'amah, by the Gulf of Aden, in the country that will be also called Himayar or Dhu-Raydan. All them however are usually gathered together under a fourth people's name: Sheva. These Hamitic Kushitics might have not been as important as the preceding ones, but their name became common denomination for all of them because of the Semitic Sabeans that conquered all that area in a successive period. So Lets be Proud of our heritage and ancestre. :cool:

Thanx conquest: So if this the case, somali(cushitic) origins is very easy too trace from Prophet(PBUH) to present date.
