Salaams, abaayadiis. See tahayna. Hope all is good with you. Nice to have you back. Soo dhawoow mar kale. Soon wanaagsan.

There is hardly a Friday prayer when someone new is not accepting Islam. Now the people that I are becoming Muslims are educated Americans who have a good understanding of not only science but also other religions. and you know what, they are better Muslims than we are for the most part. For example, I met a guy about 6 years ago and he told me then that he has been a Muslim for 2 years. I saw the same guy couple weeks ago with a degree is Islamic Sharia and Arabic from the University of Medina. He is now a sheikh!! So when I see someone claiming to be a Somali (and therefore a former Muslims) saying they no longer believe, I wonder who is missing out. Quraanka Kariimka, Suurada Maxamed (NNKH), Aayadda : But Allah is free of all wants, and it is ye that are needy. If ye turn back (from the Path), He will substitute in your stead another people; then they would not be like you.

Axmedoow Walad Cabdalle Soomaali ku sheeg badan ayuu dhaamaa la isku wada daro. He is the second Max'ed Sahnuuni, the former tireless UN envoy of early '90s, without whose efforts hundreds of thousands more might have perished and UNOSOM might not have arrived. Always Soomaali waxmagarato and their needless, endless and useless shenanigans where, alas, non-Soomaali feel more about the dire plight of Soomaalis than so-called Soomaalis. It was the Masri, Kamaaludiin Saalax, in '50s (who was shamelessly murdered by a so-called Soomaali working for foreign occupying entity); it was Max'ed Sahnuuni, the Algerian UN special envoy to Soomaaliya in early '90s; and now Axmed Walad Cabdalle, the fine Mauritanian diplomat. Those fine men did and do seem to get unwarranted criticism from some mindless Soomaali isku sheeg, who cannot see beyond the clan prism, whether it was in '50s or '00s. Maskaxdooda, it seems, maba korto. Those non-Soomaali men do see what is beyond the immediate future -- our very survival and the future independence of our nation. It is sad reflection of us when a non-Soomaali always happens to see that, then trying kiciyo Soomaalida to realize that, to see our shared common interests. Dad, albeit minority they are, ayaa always rabana jilaafo u dhigo those men in the name of clanism.

How could an intelligent human being, let alone a Muslim, be focused instead on the "my-tuulo-will-starv e-last" contest, with scores marked by some visit by an obscure Westerner delegation? Aawey dadka tuulooyinkaas ku faantamo, mee ka jawaabaan this.

Maxaa u furay boggaan. Lablabo badanaa.

Wax la cilmibaaro ayaa la waaye. Yaa maalgeliyo qarashka ku baxo those kinda of 'researches' and 'studies.' It kinds reminds me this that I've read weeks ago on the paper: Feeling old? Hold your nose and spend $98 Experts scorn perfume's claim that you will smell younger If worrying about weight and wrinkles isn't taking up enough of your time, a U.S. entrepreneur is marketing a new insecurity – a perfume that promises to make women smell younger. Eight years younger, to be exact, according to the results of a clinical trial conducted for Harvey Prince, the company that makes Ageless Fantasy anti-age perfume. It's a claim that has won Ageless worldwide press, including articles in Elle, Vogue, WWD, and a passing mention in The Economist, the newsmagazine of the intelligentsia. The perfume sells for $98 a bottle at the Bay, and Harvey Prince founder Kumar Ramani, 50, has been so encouraged by its success that he's launching an eau de parfum women can slip into their purses. Ramani says a clinical trial involving 75 men aged 20 to 60 found they judged women wearing Ageless – a blend of pink grapefruit, mango, pomegranate, jasmine and musk – to be eight years younger than their actual age. "Bunk," according to Luca Turin, the New York Times perfume critic and author of Perfumes: The Guide, which reviews and rates 1,500 perfumes. "The whole idea is sad." He calls the perfume a "boring floral," and the idea that young women smell different from older women a male fantasy. "In this industry, it's all about hype and hope and marketing. The science behind it is pretty weak," says Joe Schwarcz, a chemistry professor and director of McGill University's Office for Science and Society, dedicated to demystifying science. Body chemistry changes with age, and some illnesses and medications can alter a person's scent, says Schwarcz, but if masking smell is a concern, any perfume will work. He says the clinical trial cited by Ramani does not account for psychological factors, including whether the men in the study were simply being polite. Alan Hirsch, head of the Smell and Taste Research Foundation in Chicago, not only thinks the idea is sound, he says he came up with it first. He conducted a trial in 2005 that found that simple, single note odours, like pink grapefruit, could not only mask the odour of aging, but could also change the perceived age of the person wearing it. He says if women want to smell younger, it would be a lot cheaper to dab some pink grapefruit juice behind their ears. Hirsch's lawyer, Kristine Strodthoff, has sent notice to Ramani that Hirsch has a patent pending and asking him to cease and desist from citing Hirsch or his study in all promotions of Ageless. Ramani says his lawyers have told him he is not violating Hirsch's patents and he has a patent pending himself. "My formulation is different and my tests were different," wrote Ramani in reply to an email question about the patent dispute. "For example, we use jasmine and pineapple and mango and apple and musk. Dr. Hirsch does not." What's next? Ramani already has another plan in the works, based on a scent shown in clinical studies to increase penile blood flow. "I prefer you not say, `Viagra in a bottle,'" says Ramani. Cue the press.

How many 'sheekhs' soo baxday the last few years horta? Kii la arko waa sheekh. Wax naga sheekh badan oo naga aqoon diimeed darana ma jirto. Magac sheekh ixtiraan lahaan jiray ee waa lagu dheel dheelay.

Jidadkaas oo labaatan sano la dayactirin, qaarkoodna nus qarni dhisan, saan in loo sii galo maala gaaray. Dhufeysyadaan ee galeen hadduu run yahay cabsinimo maa u geysay.

Another 'fail' of epic failure. People like this do still live on this earth. He reminds me a typical Reer Mudug.

Those are not mouth-watering enough. Kuwaan hoos ku yaalo haa laakiin.

Miskin if you are reasonable person, then those threads i posted that you are referencing are 1. United nations compensation Treaty 2. New york post news piece from 1905. Do you read what you've written? This is from the first thread I linked: This document proves that puntland are the most patriotic somali and are listed in this document the most!!! however what is more interesting is that majority of the usc and majority of the smn clans are totally absent from this compensation!!! Why is that? Did they welcome the colonizers into their homes and didn't put up a fight?... That is a starting a flame war, which was your intention. If it wasn't, you could've simply posted what you are claiming now, the original sources and left at it. No, you didn't. You intentionally mentioned by downplaying and ridiculing other clans just to take an offensive shot at them. We are not two-year olds, waraa. Eniwey, enough explanation. Just stop this flame wars you are intending to create. Stop this drivel. And about the Sayid thread, there was a reason why your first post was edited by the Admin., no?

at gorgorton. Meesha badeecooyin lagu kala gadanaayo maa yaalo.

What was this, and this? [so far, I am engaging you as a reasonable person that will and can understand.]

"Iyadoo" hadleyso ma maqashay. I am putting quotation marks 'iyada' word because qoftaan iyo gabarnimo kala dheer. Cod, jirkeeda iyo wax walbaba meel gabar kaga egtahay ma arkin.

Originally posted by Ina_Gaweto: Miskin, It is totally sad when you can't even celebrate the statehood of your origin without people attacking you. I am damn proud to be from Puntland and if that hurts you go see dr phil!!! I clearly display my evidences and don't talk thru thin air like some of the nomads here!!'! It's like saying for example the kikuyu people can't be proud of their history without offending others in kenya. Really it is total madness at best!!! You and the other troller that spews ad nauseum on here can believe in, firmly I might add, whatever cause you would like to propagate on here -- be it a Siberian cause or an Eskimos issue. That is fine. It is wholly another matter, though, to inflame by posting inflaming and spamming threads that insults other Soomaalis and other regions, from left to right. That will not achieve anything other than wishing an inflaming cyber warfare on this forum. That is an inflammatory and is no-no. SOL rules does not allow that. Read the rules, it was there before you signed and it is still there.

Muxuu ula jeedaa inay 'saafi' tahay gabadhaas? Their definition kasii daranba, defining saafi as 'clear.'

Soo mood, oo soo dhaaf, Ina Sarkaal.

Eebba ha u naxariisto Sayidka iyo halyeydii kale dalkeena Soomaaliyeed u halgamay. Eebboow waa soonee janadaada Fardowso adoomahaaga ka waraabi -- aamiin.
