This is how Somali tie their marriage. The sheikh reads verses  of the holly Quran before he starts the agreement ( AQDI) Then  the sheikh and groom sit together, while all others watching for witness. The sheikh and groom shake hands. The sheikh says, "Do you accept to marry ..Name  the bride, and her bride price is 20,000 $. Do you accept ?" The groom says, " I do accept that ...Name to me my wife" Then the men say together Allah u Akbar three times loudly. And women trill/ ululate. Then the groom starts to shake hands to every man in the ceremony. Then they start eating and hugging one an other.

Now he is with his queen. And beautiful women dressed with Somali traditional dresses are leading them to the wedding ceremony. 

My favorite picture, men sit together in the afternoon, before the wedding ceremony well dressed with a beautiful huts on their heads. They eat snakes, because they already ate meat in the noon. 

Then she chooses her four best friends to accompany her in the ceremony. Two in each side. 

In this picture she was decorated with gold and diamonds. Man should pay all of these. 

The groom talks with his friend and family members all that beautiful day. He collects as much wisdom as he can.

Here is the bride sitting with her younger sister inside their room  telling her all her experience, before she says goodbye to the younger sister. They must talk one or two hours before she heads to the ceremony. 

After they agree everything the bride gets prepared to the up coming marriage ceremony. It is must that she gets Hinna, As you can see here in this picture.  

The elders from the groom side come to the elders of the bride's side, in order to  negotiate  and ask them  to marry their daughter. They come with them money and some valuable staff. Most of the time the bride's tripe elders agree to the marriage.

Do you think immigration is "out of control" as Mortimer Zuckerman says?

I don't think immigration is out of control in this country, because the U.S federal government handles the immigration cases carefully. Although there are more than 12 million illegal immigrants in the U.S today, this does not mean the immigration is out of control. Government knows everybody living between the two great oceans. As we all know American population is more than 320 million people, while the number of the illegal immigrants are only 12 million. On the other hand, let us divide the "immigrant" issue into two parties. Legal immigrants and illegal immigrants. The legal immigrants are more than illegals, so how can Zuckerman say the immigration is out of control. In my opinion Zuckrtman does not have immigration experience, and he is exaggerating the immigration issues in this country. Again in my opinion, the U.S government still controls the immigration, and monitors its borders and ports with every thing it can. The other thing I believe is that Zuckrman is a canadian  immigrant, is this give him power to say what ever he thinks is wright. I would tell Zuckman, if you don't like the way our immigration system works, and believe that illegal immigrants are every where, why don't you go back to your Quebec.

My Immigration Experience

My name is, Abdirashid Osman, and I was born in Mogadishu Somalia in 1983. I am the oldest son of 12 children. My father was a military general, and my mother was a business woman. They both wanted to stay, and raise us in their mother land "Somalia" for the rest of our lives. My parents never know what is the meaning of the word "immigrant"  before 1992 .When the civil war broke out in Somalia in Jan-26 1991 every thing was changed, and family dreams were destroyed. After one year of shelling, killing, and looting, civilians in Mogadishu  my mother decided to leave the collapsed county and get saver palace for her children, while my father wanted us to stay and wait for a while. He tough that this war will end soon, but my mother said, "enough is enough", and led the entire family for their first immigration experience in the history in Feb/1992.
Although, I was only nine years old when my family crossed the Kenyan Somali border, I still remember, the names, and faces of the cousins, ants, neighbors, and those we left behind in Mogadishu in that historic day, and never be seen again. I lived in Kenya for eight years waiting resettlement from the United States, but  the Kenyan government did not treat us like human being. The Kenyan government officialese used to send the police to arrest the illegal Somali immigrants, in order to make money. I still don't know what caused that notorious Kenyan police actions, but it will be investigated one day.

Luckily, in Jun/05/ 2000 my family asylum seeking status has been granted by the U.S officials, and we were flown a free flight from Nairobi Kenya,  to the Nashville Tennessee where I lived  my first  five years in America. Thanks to the American government, they provided us free housing, free food, and free transportation form the airport, and also gave us free buss cards for our first two years in America.  I attended Hume Fogg High Academic Magnet, where I started in  the ninth grade, and graduated in 2004. During my high school time English language was the hardest subject I ever experienced for my entire life. I hated my English class the most. Luckily, I got a experienced teachers in the school who helped me a lot, in order to over come the language barriers that restricted my ability to communicate with the others. My first year of the high school I did great job, learned a lot of English words, and I made new friends who help me to practice My English. My second and third years of the high school I was doing great, no problems at all, but I know learning a new culture, and new language never be easy for the new immigrants.

I was only seventeen when I first landed in the United States; It is not easy to be an immigrant, especially when you are a young person. Some young people easily forget their roots and adept new cultures easily after they come in this country, while some of the young immigrants end up in the prisons. I would not stick with my Somali culture without my parent's presence, and guidance. I feel sorry for the Somali contemporaries those who immigrate this country without a parents; because young people are the most vulnerable for violence, and economic problems, if they don't have their parents with them.

I really love America, because it deserved it. In my opinion America is the land of the immigrants, and American government is the pest government which provides to the immigrants freedom, opportunity, and Justice they deserve, since most of the immigrants are looking for a justice they could not find their homelands. Furthermore,  American people are also generous, and they like to welcome the new arrives. This helps immigrants to adopt new way of life, and respect their American brothers and sisters.

What I like the most about this country is the Justice system. American Justice system attracted  my family as well as the rest of the immigrant families. This system does not classify between an American citizens to the non American citizens. No one is above this justice system, even the President of the United States. If a person commits a crime he/she faces the American justice system equally, without discriminating the immigrants from the American citizens.  This is what made America the pest country to live. God bless both America, and Somalia!
