Be careful of what you post on Somali forums

The author of a book coming out about a Somali girl growing up in London got her inspiration from Somali forums.

u mean to tell me some brit xalimo beat basra to the book deal? damn, i was rooting for our resident author here...i mean 10 year bey meeshatani ku qasarisey.

[snowflakes821]

The author is not a Xalimo. She's an ajnabi who's been studying us. I'm not sure how the forum used to be before I came, but I'm pretty sure it was an eye opening experience for the author because of certain personalities that post here.

basra is extremely retraded and niave.....3/4 of the so called book would be about her and her appearance, who the fuk would read that.

"but living in South London brought me into closer contact with them. I fell in love with the Somali women I knew: their strength of character, their beauty, their love for the Qur'an, their seeming fearlessness: so many of them reminded my of my mother"


if anything this might be something considered good... right ?

[laila2008]

some of you know her too should I reveal her identity

[snowflakes821]

I'm sure her experiences in London with Somalis was good. But, Somali forums aren't exactly politically correct.

[laila2008]

I'm actually going to London in 2 weeks 8) So I'll see it for myself

The author of the book is Na'ima B Robert, she is a revert to Islam. She has a Scottish father and a South African mother. She also wrote the novel 'From my Sister's lips.' It details the experiences of reverts to Islam - from all different backgrounds. She also features the experiences of Somali sisters in that novel. She is a great author. Masha-Allah.
