Mr | Monday, March 26, 2001 - 06:12 am Assalaamu Alaikum, May Allah bless our people, and may HE shower his grace on every Muslim. I wish to reach out to Somalis on this site, who constantantly speak of tribe. We must understand, were are one and the same. Regardless of our last names, our destiny is intertwined. So please lets stop this tribal rhetoric, and focus on how we can learn to embrace and appreciate one another. As a Somali proverb states, the last camel walks as quickly as the first. This being so, our problems affect us all regardless of where we live. The only way out of this mess, if we practice mutual respect. To respect peoples wishes and to encourage one another. Like so many have mentioned we are our own worst enemies, and if we stop shoving one another we would have overcome our greatest struggle. Wassalam Wabilaahi Towfiiq |
