UAE conducts 500 eye surgeries in Somalia

[wolverine]

wolve, if you expect me to shower praises on the West then you will never get it from me or most Somalis; its not that we are ungrateful but the fact that most of us are Muslims and we believe whatever nim'a we received from wherever came from Allah swt and not some Western government as would like us to think

The irony is the same thing was said by a member of a group that want to expel muslims to a liberal politician in the country that I live in. He said that muslims will never be grateful because they believe that they get all that they get it is from Allah, and not from their country.

Also,by that reasoning, all the complaints that muslims have (sometimes rightly) about palestinians being killed or iraqis, would be not be the fault of americans or israelis, and there would be no need accusing those countries of anything.

Listen you arab haters, there's no reason for me or any other decent muslim to hate fellow Muslims help. Comparing immigration policies between the West and Gulf arab countries is not a measure of genorousity. The Arab gulf countries simply cannot afford a high influx of Somali refugees whilst the West has the resources and the need for more immigrants.

its funny how threads like these always infuriate those who wish to project their western views on others regardless of their religious affiliation. Yes, a muslim helping another muslim means alot compared to a gaal helping a muslim.

Why don't you try living in Saudi Arabia. You'd soon see that you'd be treated as 3abid

Again, I'm not trying to prove that N. America and Europe are perfect. I just get f-cking annoyed by people who get teary eyes when an arab or muslim country gives something that western countries do and have done for a very long time and to a greater extent.

You keep repeating this word over and over again. Did you suffer some psychological or physical trauma at the hands of some arabs?

I have met a lot of different arabs and not one has ever called me that word. If they ever were to make that mistake, they would pay for it dearly. You seem to have self-esteem issues, on the one hand you are generalising by praising gaalo-cad to the heavens like a house-nigger. And on the other you are are again generalising by disparaging arabs (who are made up of good and bad people like everyone else) like a field-nigger. I owe everything to Allah and nothing to cadaan or arab. Isla yaaba niman waweyn baad tihiin eh, cuqdada iska saara.

Those who say I'm arab-hating show the limits of their intellect. I have said nothing against arabs but I'm disgusted with your fauning over an entire ethnic group, as if all the arabs around the world are angels who fart perfume. What makes this incredibly more sad and pitiful is that Somalis/Somalia are like an insect that nobody gives a shit about (apparently not even somalis) and on the few occassions they do become relevant, it's only an issue for negative shit like piracy, disease, drought/starvation, refugees, terrorism etc. Everyday there are arab-bashing or arab-worshipping threads on the forum, which shows that they occupy the minds of a significant portion of forumers. Fckin' losers

It's truly sad, bilaa dareen iga dheh.

Ileen being without a country for 20 years really fcks with someone's self-esteem.

I specifically said Saudi Arabia. Any Somali whose been close to me and have been there for a while have attested to that.

I did not say any arabs, I said Saudi Arabia. Close friends of mine have been arabs for a long time. So don't put words in my mouth.

Let me repeat this again

Again, I'm not trying to prove that N. America and Europe are perfect. I just get f-cking annoyed by people who get teary eyes when an arab or muslim country gives something that western countries do and have done for a very long time and to a greater extent.

And also because of ungratefulness.

Let's also not forget Yemen, where close to 1 million* Somalis (more than all Somalis in Western countries) are cared for, despite Yemen being one of the poorest countries in the world.

Have you heard of sheikh Caadil Kalbaani, imam of Haram of Makkah?

Not what I meant, but it is funny any way

Yes I know of him. That does not prove my point. Imagine the racism, bigotry and tribalism among Somalis, does it exist. Yes, to a much larger extent than in many places in the world. In Saudiarabia, that racism may not be strong among the most religious, since Islam does not promote racism, but among the ordinary folks, it certainly does exist, and in much the same way as among Somalis, and worse in the sense that a Saudi has greater rights.

Racism may not be strong among the most religious; it's almost non-existent among the conservative or religious Mulsims. Racism is practiced by secularists, nationalists, liberals and the likes.

So you know Arabic? Kalbaani means "just Dog"?
