Coping through the 1st world
A Somali Muslim would feel closer to a Pakistani Muslim because they share the same faith.
But they won’t feel closer to each other through other reasons. Like language, culture, history and clan.
A non Muslim Somali are still Somali because they can still trace their father lineage (like how Jews can trace their maternal lineage whether the person is an atheist jew or not).
Majority Somalis are Muslim and Islam is part of their culture and history.
But islam is not the only way claim Somalinimo since most Somalis priorities clan identity and always did throughout history.
Discrimination within the clan
Majority Somalis (ethnic Somalis) discriminates minority clans.
Most Bantu Muslims are Muslims but ethnic Somalis don’t want to marry majority of them because of clan discrimination.
All minority clan argue the fact that majority Somalis discriminates them. Even Tomal Somalis (who share connections with the ethnic Somalis) feels some form of discrimination and rejection with the majority Somalis. And mind you they are the main contributors to the Somali world and most them are Muslim but are abandoned because of their status. Bizarre to to say the least.
And lastly islam is universal religion not an ethno religion. But isn’t it funny even Jews claim their own when they’re also atheist Jews.
Because Jews can trace their maternal lineage.
