[sockeyekiller7]

at the end of this video i was waiting for one of them to explode....

[MrAussiman]

I love you Libya. nice people beautiful culture.

[Joemactheman]

Is this the GAY school??

[09soosoo]

@Joemactheman Haahaa funny.

Not.

Seriously why watch "gay" videos and comment if you dont like it.

[TheDakinimoon]

Just as you say that there was a wave from the Mid east and Berber to the north shores of the Mediterranean ....... there was probably a much bigger wave of Dna coming from Western and Northern Europe to Algeria and the other Berber States throughout the Post Roman period ..... Europe supplied a huge number of slaves (down the Slavic rivers) to all the slave markets throughout the Islamic Caliphate and to all the Berber ports ... often the busiest places for European influx.

[TheDakinimoon]

.... and don't forget all the Celtic mercenary warriors from Galatia in Turkey who organised alliances with Northern Italy Celts and who fought for Carthage against Rome with Hannibal ........ who also have a lot in common musically with the Celtic imprint left all over Eastern Europe, the Baltic, Anatolia, and the Mediterranean ..... similar in dance also in some weird ways ... sometimes you can't tell the music apart either! Not even today after 75 generations of shared history and glory!

[Jazeera1973]

@TheDakinimoon, I imagine we share a very similar cultural perspective.

Blessed be the Mother.

[TheDakinimoon]

This is really nice ..... great Berber music and great Berber dance ........ Berbers were around long before Islam ever arrived ....... this culture is older than and does not originally have much to do with Arabs or Islam ; seafaring Mefiterranean and nomadic traditions all combined in some way to make it as distinct as it is . The women have traditionally been equal to men and also free to dance and go about their business ....... and lead men too. The men needed the veils ... not the women.

[Jazeera1973]

@TheDakinimoon, you're perfectly right.

Northern African culture and genetic is a mix integrating the Berber matrifocal substrate, islamized and arabized during the Middle Age.

Also tribes with Jewish ancestors (I mean Jewish as a religion, not the people - because it's not true that each Jew is a Jew... yes yes !) and other from Subsaharian origins contributed to the Northern African melting-pot.

[Jazeera1973]

And yes: the most ancient Sicilian inhabitants, like many other Mediterranean ancient peoples, were of the same blood as the Berbers now are... DNA tests recently proved it.

[UfatmeSkinny]

@TheDakinimoon

Therfore in Libya their is only 3% berber...

[Jazeera1973]

Amazing !

I love it.

But if I am not wrong, the steps of the woman are pure sirtaki more than usual raqs sharqi... Maybe this kind of dance was typical from the Mediterranean area, and the Greek sirtaki just one of its local developments...

There is also some similarity with traditional Sicilian dances.

Anyway... great.

[NawticJ]

@Jazeera1973 Yes my family comes from Sicily...never realized its degree of connection w/arabic cultures...

[Jazeera1973]

@NawticJ, it's great !

Where is your family exactly from ?

It's not a surprise that Sicily traditions are strictly connected to the Arabic ones: 3/4 of Sicilian people have Arabic roots. And they share a widely extended Mediterranean culture.

[NawticJ]

@Jazeera1973 Well...my great grandmother comes from Polermo, Sicily and her husband from somewhere in Spain... I have felt so connected to the Mediterranean cultures... and this has to be why...only until recently, as I said, did I make the connection that the Arabic connection to Sicily must be why. :) I would really like to learn more and more.

Ooh that's soo interested that 3/4 of Sicilians have Arabic roots! I got chills when I read that, seriously!

[Jazeera1973]

@NawticJ, as I wrote in the upper comment, the ancient inhabitants of Sicily were of the same blood as the actual Berbers - and such peoples occupied a large area of the Mediterran, European and Middle Eastern area. The effect of this thousands & thousands years long settlements are still visible still now - in our DNA and in our culture too - which shows incredible similarities from Andalusia to Palestine...

[Jazeera1973]

@NawticJ, in the Middle Age Sicily turned to be a part of the Islamic Caliphate. It got a exceedingly intensive immigration from North Africa (Berbers islamized and arabized, Arabs with proper semitic roots - but mainly Berbers). These people are our major ancestors now. Anyway, when they arrived to Sicily, they find a place where the "aboriginal" inhabitants shared indeed many of their traditions, despite they had been formerly romanized.

[NawticJ]

@Jazeera1973 Are you Sicilian?

[Jazeera1973]

@NawticJ , Yes, from Catania (east coast).

[Jazeera1973]

@NawticJ - so you can imagine two big "waves" of immigration to Sicily - and both more or less genetically (and culturally) similar.

The first right after the Ice Age (Neolithic), the second at the beginning of the Middle Age - though these last people were islamized, their Islam was integrated on the ancient life-styles and traditions.

[Jazeera1973]

@NawticJ, and yes: all this is so evident in Palermo !

Have you ever been there ?

I am from Catania - on the opposite coast-line.

It's fantastic you feel so intensely this connection with your past.

[NawticJ]

@Jazeera1973 Very very interesting...amazing how we are connected...thanks for that info ji. :) I have not been to Sicily, but I desire to go there very much. It will be interesting to see how I feel visiting that land. :)

[Jazeera1973]

You're welcome :)

I believe you'd find many interesting things here !

If you need some information, just ask me.

[NawticJ]

@Jazeera1973 Thanks I definitely will, and sorry I missed where you already said you are from Sicily. :)

[Jazeera1973]

No worry ;)

[101nanotechnology]

والنبي صلي الله عليه وسلم لعن لعن الخمر ولعن فيها عشر ولعن رعل وذكوان واقر النبي صلي الله عليه وسلم الصحابة عندما لعنو الذي اذي جاره

[RTLABC]

[mak575]

اكثر نسبة من المجاهدين في سبيل الله في العراق السعوديةوبعدها ليبيا , ومعظم المجاهدين الليبيين من شباب درنه وهم اللذين يمثلون درنه واهلها وليس من اللذين يرقصون معى امراه( ان شاء الله ربي يهديهم ).

يا أخي كان اجدادنا فعلوا اشياء لاترضي الله ورسوله نتبعهم ,لالالا أخي , تعلم منهم العزة والشهامة والرجلة وصلة الرحم .....الخ.

[vivoviva]

@mak575

this is a traditional folkloric, i agree with you in certain point, but still people keep singing, dancing, etc... even during the wars... you don't have to feel shame because of men dancing with a woman, look at it from other corner... it's nice ... I'm not from there but I'm proud to be Libyan & love to keep our traditional till the last generation... I just want to share my point. thanks

[tuwareg]

by such a behavior all participants all of this ugly discussion spoil the attitude towards Arabs,,,, Please, consider this....I am holding a university degree on Arabic culture.... and I love it...but many of you simply make people think that all Arabs are like you....shame on you...

[drug98]

@tuwareg

get lost babe. what happening in russia or wherever is worse that what u see here.

hatred is everywhere and between lots of ppl (intra or inter).

[tuwareg]

wallahi, ya nas.......i NEVER expected such a discussion to eppear here under this post of mine and this video taken by me personally while in Libya..... didnt expect such hatred towards each other and curses.... it is very sad , indeed....

[fesssal]

الشعب الليبي شعب طيب واصيل ولكن يحكمة مجنون عضمة وعظام وزعيم للثورة والثيران

لعنة الله عليكم!

[RTLABC]

ياأخــــي لايجوز اللعن !!قال عليه السلام(لعن المسلم كقتله)(متفق عليه) (لاينبغي لصديق أن يكون لعانا)(أخرجه مسلم) (لايكون اللعانون شهداء ولاشفعاء يوم القيامة)(مسلم) (إن العبدإذا لعن شيئا صعدت اللعنة إلى السماء فتغلق أبواب السماء دونهاثم تهبط إلى الأرض ثم تأخذيميناأويسارافإذا لم تجدمساغارجعت للذي لعن فإن كان أهلا وإلارجعت إلى صاحبــــــــــــــها)(أخرجه أبوداود وهوصحيح لغيره) ولاحول ولاقوة إلا بالله.
