Re: President Obama Praises Somali Student at White House Iftar

She is fully aware of the sacrifice her parents made the blood, sweat and tears they spilled. She gives them a lot credit to her Somali immigrant parents for pushing her and making education a priority in all her interviews. And how they moved her from public school to private school. She also speaks highly of her Somali father.The thing I like and respect her for is what she does with her Non-Profit organization of educating East African girls realizing and how important is to help build your community up instead of tearing them downiandi wrote:congratulations to that young student who i am sure is fully aware of the people who spilled blood so that doors like these are now open to people like them.

Re: President Obama Praises Somali Student at White House Iftar
My Congratulations to Munira Khalif , truly she is a credit to her parents and by association, to ALL of US Somalis.
However. .....
WTF IS OBAMA doing--hosting an "iftar" dinner? I mean--- with his middle name as "Hussein" and now this Iftar hosting---is this giving the hateful republicans ammunition to go after him? Does Obama care really? Oh because he has one and half year time in office, he doesn't give a sh!t?
Just don't shock us by wearing and a Macawiis---and chewing an Cadeey in the White House. I will personally write hateful letter! 
However. .....

Amira does not come from an average somali family. She comes from a highly educated family. Her mother is educated to masters level and has a really good job. Her great grand father was a famous poet and he educated her grand father. Her father is a millionaire and has his own company. Although her parents are divorced she was bought up really well and given private education where she thrived. We can't compare her to qaxooti kids with illiterate parents.iandi wrote:congratulations to that young student who i am sure is fully aware of the people who spilled blood so that doors like these are now open to people like them.

Starting a Non-profit as teenager is almost always a sign of privilege.
Good for her though, she has the spirit to be someone big

Excellent point.Thanks for the info--and what a continuous flow of info. Indeed, it makes a difference if her mother has masters, and her dad rich! All u need is one college educated parent-- and the child for sure will finish college!

So, if your mother is 'closely related' to her father, that makes this girl an Ogaden? And your reer abtii Ogaden? or r u full Ogaden? I am saying this because-- u were defending ogadens in another thread! Just putting one and one together.

Masha Allah, the predator-drone dispatching commander in chief paid attention to a Somali girl at some zionist-funded iftar in the White House, isn't life so great.

Re: President Obama Praises Somali Student at White House Iftar
Might be a mood-kill, I really want to congratulate her but something inside me won't allow it, I just don't acknowledge achievements such as these, all because the White House is hosting a iftar everything is supposed to be all good?
There's nothing worthy of acknowledgement about this at all.
