nuune Posted October 18, 2002 actually not many young people act as kaffirs,subxaanallaal,we are proud that somali is our identity nomatter what changes took place! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iffah Posted October 18, 2002 Salaams, A/raheem I think the main reason is because, they're not surrounded by Somalis, so they try to fit in with the others. As the saying goes.. you are what your friends are right? The more they are exposed to Somalis, the more they will come to appreciate their culture and people. The young ones are at that stage where they are facing an identity crisis... but in time, they to will outgrow it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abdulraheem Posted October 20, 2002 ilhaan and nuuno thank u for your warm replies but what i meant was we tend to adopt our new sorroundings so easily without ever weighing up the consequences that might have on our future generation yes it's the possibilty that they might grow out of it but imagine if don't live that long cause in this life you never know when one is gonna meet his destiny so my sister i believe if we don't do anything about it soon then i'm afraid our future looks dim regardless of what we do for a living may allah guide us through the right path. amiin/amiin/amiin/. my brother nuuno u say there aren't many who act like kaffirs have you been checking out some websites where somali ladies display their private parts for the whole world to see since when did nudity became part of our culture let alone our religion Inna Lillahi Wainna Ileyhi Raajicuun.somali ladies are known to be very cultured woman intelligent,proud and most of all very private but unfortunately it looks these few mindless girls are proving how far the once great nation being destroyed in the western entertainment industry what a shame. my sisters i'm not sayin' all the somali girls are like those few cheap and shameless individuals God forbid i'll never do that but like the somali saying goes when they first came to my attention i was deeply hurt especially when non-somali male tells you come and see how your girls are displaying thier private parts for us to feast our eyes on can you imagine how bad that comment hurt my feelings and the convidence in once my beloved somali queens and princesses?anyway my brother nuuno i really appreciate your wonderful reply and my sister ilhan the same goes for you may God bless you all and guide you through the right path. AMIIN. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Noorah Posted November 9, 2002 salaam, I really do agree with the person who posed this issue. I believe that we have as somalis come to a phase of our lives where we can no longer be as proud as we used to be, or where we can no longer take a credit for being from one of the most religious nations on earth. It's true that our ppl adapt to western cultures very quickly and i believe that it's due to their lack of both secular and religious education. Where do we get our value-sytems from as muslims??..obviously our beloved religion, and if we are not reinforcing the teachings of Islam in our youth or even adults,then chances are pretty slim that they will have any morals or guidance in life. Hence why following the western norm would make sense to them or seem appealing to them. And one last point...i really don't think that this is in any way related to gender because we have sure witnessed both men and women who have been "lost" if you will. So may Allah bestow his mercy on us and increase our imaan and taqwa!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iLLsoMaLi Posted November 9, 2002 Salaamz, As much as we may love being Somalis, and what we stand for, inevitably the environment we live in shapes who we are. At least, I haven't met a SOmali with the name ToM or **** . I mean, just look at chinise people, they change who they are the minute they step of the boat. Although to some extent they keep their culture and listen to thier chinise songs. lol All I can say is, by far Somalis are Somalis. Look at the nomads here, we fight every day even though we love each other. I guess we haven't lost much. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sYric-STiPHuLLa Posted November 12, 2002 I THINK brother abdulraheem is trying to say>> why most of us somalis adapt wrong.. that is to say why we act like modoow and some just go whilin out after 4yrs in the west or what not... grls trippin off on they hijaab it's more of a personal thing but can be debatable anyways brother i understand what your saying.. it's just that the sisters were offended by you telling us about somali porno on the internet without any legitimate proof... u know how somalis are ? once u tell them something shoccking they ask you what were u doing there why were u lookin at it this that? it's simply some xujo SO let it be anywayz sisters don't get off on the wrong foot just reply to his question as intellectually as possible without making it look childish . but as for me if any somali porno exists on the internt it' would trully shock me and the community and hopefully work towards shutting the site down... i've seen emails forwarded to me from some freinds of mine claiming somali chicks nude on the internet or what not but i didn't believe them.. if such site does exist we should have some techy hack into and make there domain link into another webpage so'whenever some 1 tries to logg into there site they find themselves at another site..(ex.ISLAMICITY.COM..) anywayz thats straying far from the topic ....... 4give ME 1 LOVE @neLUV peace.

abdulraheem Posted November 12, 2002 finally a real person with real brains thank you TENACIOUS_J for making it clear to your fellow nomad brothers and sisters may ALLAH reward you for that. WALLAAHI i never meant to make my beautiful somali sisters look bad it's just that i value them so highly that it's almost unbelievable to me that they capable of such obscene anyway i got sisters and my queen mother happened to be a woman so how can i ever say something bad against my own mother and my own flesh and blood coz that's what it's like to me when i'm accused of campaigning against my somali sisters GOD FORBID i'll never ever do that. my sister girl from my dreams you can't even begin to imagine how highly i respect women let alone my own somali sisters so if i seem to avoid answering your question it's not that 'm disrecpecting you but value you highly coz i don't want you to see anything like that trust me it's was ugly. and coming back to question i said i was told to come and see about some nude photos of somali ladies i repeat i was told to come and see some nude photos of somali ladies by non_somali friend who happens to be a christian so my sister i didn't go to look for those ugly photos but as fate had it they found me and WALAAHI i can't even tell wich site they were in that's if you believe i'm telling you the truth and if you don't then too bad because i just swore in the name of ALLAH that i'm telling you the truth so to all my somali sisters whoever read my topic i really appologise if i offended you please forgive me and may ALLAH guide us all through the right path.AAMIIN.AAMIIN.AAMIIN.

abdulraheem Posted November 15, 2002 thanks MAGNOONA-girl standing by me i really appreciate that. G/F/Y/D just likes to get on my nerves or should i say tease me but other than that she's sweet young somali queen just like all of you and we should remind her that she's a somali and where she comes from without ever getting her mad coz' that would be wrong when you need to get your point across always try to remain as calm and collective as you can be. may ALLAH guide us all through the right path.AAMIIN.AAMIIN.AAMIIN.
