    • Left for Somalia in December 2007

    • 26 years old

    • According to a friend, Ahmed left Al-Shabaab shortly after arriving in Somalia after deciding he didn’t want to fight. He sought medical treatment for allergies in Kismayo and eventually returned to the Twin Cities, where he worked as a security guard. He lived in New Brighton.

    • Attended North Hennepin Community College in pursuit of an associate’s degree. A classmate said Ahmed wanted to become an X-ray technician

    • Indicted in February 2009 on charges of supporting terrorism and conspiring to kill people abroad

    • 25 years old

    • Left for the al-Shabaab training camp in Somalia in November 2007

    • Pleaded guilty to providing material support to terrorists and to a foreign terrorist organization. Hassan continued to fight and “follow the orders of al-Shabaab in Somalia” after leaving the training camp, according to court documents and testimony. Unlike two of his peers who left shortly after arriving at the camp, a court document suggests Hassan remained active with al-Shabaab until about August 2008 – several months after the U.S. declared the group a terrorist organization.

    Of course it does. Just don't run to mommy later crying "he cheated on me that ba$tard!" :rolleyes: For every woman that follows these advices, there's another who has never heard of them.

     

    Can't have it both ways, atheer. Either put up (out? :D ) or shut up.

     

    I don't believe any of the stuff I wrote above. I'm just making conversation dee.

    Why don't you just admit you Googled it and couldn't find anything? :D You gotta have the right keywords, waraa. lol.

     

    If you keep "quuqing", I might just give you a Google Search 101.


  7. ^^^^ Incidently, the last serious effort to make a movie on prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was in the seventies. The Message was a classic made by Mustapha Akkad the maker of another classic, the Lion of the Desert.

     

    Unfortunately, The Message was banned in many Arab/Muslim countries and I'm sure riots and protests followed or preceded the banning. I watched the film as a young'un then again as an adult and wondered why in God's good name was this movie banned.

     

    And since we (all humans) learn nothing from history, I predict this movie will be banned in many of those same countries. The masses will be rallied to protest against it and at least one person will die in those protests when they eventually get out of hand.

     

    P.S. Sadly, and this is not relevant to the topic, Mustapha Akkad and his daughter died in a suicide bombing at a hotel in Amman, Jordan in 2005.

    Boycotts and protests? wtf is wrong with you guys.

    lol. Yeah, boycotts and protests. Tongue in cheek, atheer. Tongue in cheek.

     

    Seriously though, isn't that what's going to happen in some village in Pakistan where effigies will be burned and innocent people will be trampled to death? No one mentions the holy prophet in the West without a protest happening in the East. :D


  9. By their tenth anniversary many wives have managed to complete their child bearing and have achieved the ultimate goal of terminating all s.e.x.ual contacts with the husband. By this time she can depend upon his love for the children and social pressures to hold the husband in the home.

    Positively priceless. :D

    You know, I heard that rumor too but didn't believe it at first. All this nonsense SeeKer is trying to tell us about brains and smarts and some such nonsense. Usheeg, atheer. It's all about mating. Even 112 year olds are catching a case. lol.

    But not gorgeous by any imagination.

    LOOOL. Kaneeco kulaha.

     

    I find her look and voice to be lovely as well. What I can't get over are the Chrysler 300 and the public housing in the background? I mean really, are there no nice sites to shoot this video in whatever town that is?

     

    That camera man/director should be beaten severely with his camera then fired.
