Zu, I’m sure you’ve come across a similar story from your childhood to the one I’m about to tell, saaxib.

 

When I was a young boy, we used to have a madman in our neighbourhood called ‘captain’. This captain was an eccentric sort of madman. He was always immaculately dressed but never wore any shoes. He would walk up and down the neighbourhood and sing all sorts of mad songs in all kinds of languages.

 

We used to make up stories as to his life story. We even, for a short while, decided that he was a child molester and stayed out of his way. He wasn’t. He was just a sad madman.

 

In time, we all noticed a funny thing about captain. Whenever anyone called his name loudly, he would stick his hands in his pockets and pull out everything that was in there as he walked. Coins, notes, sweets and bits of paper would fly in the air but captain would still carry on walking and wringing his hands.

 

The kids of the neighbourhood all noticed this and we all tried to be the first to make captain empty his pockets. Sometimes we were and managed to get us some sweet money and sometimes we weren’t and found out that others had beaten us to it. Captain still emptied his pockets even when there was nothing there.

 

I would love to know why Captain used to do that. I would pay money for the information.

 

Anyway, back to your question. Shouting the word Muslim is just like shouting the word Captain in my story, saaxib. Dozens of us instantly empty our pockets and wring our hands at the sound. :D

Now, i have an interesting anecdote to share. It is a story with subliminal message and darn good moral if u can decipher it.

 

Back in the days when I was about eight or nine years old, I run across Aduunyo. Aduunyo was a man with great wisdom. However, he was a mad man or at least folks thought he was mad. The rumor had it that Aduunyo came to Kismayo to make a fortune by exporting and importing goods to and from a far away lands. He had made a couple of runs to and from East Africa markets through Mombasa and then lost everthing he had in a shipwreck. He become a destitute man in an unwelcoming town. He was a new comer or Galti but he decided to stay put. He built a shag for himself behind the Water Ministery. He lived in that shaq ever after.

 

Aduunyo used to come to my auntie's tea shop. That was the only biibito he is known to frequent because my auntie had the wisdom to provide him a free shaah and sanbuus every afternoon. What I didn't realize at the time was that Aduunyo was the sort of man who got by his mouth.

 

He was a good storyteller and because of that the crowd would follow wherever he go. He used to tell stories about Yemen and his adventures. Sometimes he would narrate about his Jinni wife and how he entered the world of Jinni and escaped unharmed.

 

On my way to school I run accroos Adduunyo talking to himself and repeating his logo sentences incessanly: "Caashaq bilaa fuluus, yaniika hawaa" He told me to stop, I did. Now any other kid would have run for his life. I knew the man from my auntie's tea shop so I obliged...

 

He asked me if I have my eraser with me which I answered yes. He then asked me whether I have my pencil, my class schedule, my books, and so on. He then proceeded to examine my "jadwal" of the day. He noticed that my first class was Arabic and Religion. Aduunyo looked at the sky for about a minute as if he is going to talk to someone up there and then he fixed his eyes down on the floor in about two minutes without a word.

 

By now I was freaking out. He then put his hand on my shoulder and looked at me right in the eyes and said "adeer, ijtahid!" and then he let me go and off I went. I walked about twenty feet from where we've been standing when I noticed that a lot of folks had been watching us from a distance and then I heard a loud shout: "adeer ha la yaabin" :D . Later on he told my father that I am a good kid. When my father asked him what makes his son different from other kids, Aduunyo narrated our encounter and the spectators we'd attracted and how all the time folks avoid him.

 

What Aduunyo didn't realize at the time was that I had been well acquinted with him in the tea shop that I considered him as a normal fella.

Totally unislamic. You know the problem with "muslims" these days is they try to do everything to fit in and be accepted by non-muslims..and that is why muslims are humiliated everyday. They shouldn't say "a muslim woman" because she doesn't look like a muslim woman. Being muslim isn't saying you are, it's about acting like a muslim...not by name only. Subhan'Allah! They are trying to change islamic by attempting to lure muslim women to be more "free" a.k.a walk around naked around the hood. They can take there freedom and shove it where the sun don't shine!

No problem Castro. I accept the verdict.

 

Just so you know this is a true story. Aduunyo is true character and anyone from Kismayo around my age know Aduunyo existed and will confirm my account of the man. The Arabic sentences that you are complaining about is his hal-ku-dheg along with the word "Aduunyo".

 

I'm surprised that u r this much sensitive :D I will have u in mind next time I have to share nomads with something like this.

 

By the way, if I have to haphazard a guess, Kashafa is feeling sorry for the man for some other reason. More like what the sentence is implying than anything else.

 

Aduunyo!

I am too. Understanding the phrase is what evokes the pity. As for the phrase itself, I use that at least once a day. If not more. I'm entirely desensitized to it and many others. Nice story by the way and I don't doubt its authenticity. :D

Aduunyo existed in Kismaayo. Every kid knew better not to be near Aduunyo.

 

I personally never had any contact with Aduunyo but the kids used to yell out "Aduunyo Xaalkaa Ba'" and the man would run towards us. His buul was on the way to the football stadium and in the afternoons, we would go to see the game, kids knews to run fast when we pass Aduunyo. All you do to triger him is say aduunyo xaalkaa ba' loudly.
