Bombshell Edna Aden Admits Of Being Of Two Faith Households 😳😳😳😳

[dekiteshim]

Throughout our history We don't get a long with Christians if it's the highlanders or the Europeans colonizers. I have more respect for ilhan omar than this habesha masquerading as a somali.

It's not the days of Futuh al Habash anymore. Muslims are pretty much allowed to practice their religions freely in Christian countries. Just the thought of anti-hijab laws stirs issues. It's not much to at least allow Somalis who decide to follow Christianity the right to do as such without fearing for their lives.

Nah this is just a case of morality. Muslims across the world (rightly) advocate for the wellbeing of Muslim Palestinians. Imagine an Israeli told you that it shouldn't concern you because you aren't resident there.

Even if Somalia became a fully Sharia compliant state overnight, it wouldn't be deemed acceptable to persecute resident Christians for practicing their faith

I wouldn't persecute Christians of course. The Quran simply tells muslim states to let people of the book (Christians & jews) to live in Islamic lands but make them pay a tax. But even then, Muslim nations don't make other faiths pay taxes anymore.

The main problem is people like @malab claiming that Christians and highlander Habesha had any large influence on Somalis when that is just false. Oromo have of course been influenced by habesha but the Somalis have had more influence from India that it ever had from Ethiopia. Christians have never lived in Somalia in any notable size and the ones that did came during the colonial times when Europeans used to make people convert and even them many of the already small somali Christians converted to Islam later on in life. There isn't any notable christian/habesha influence in Somalia like Malab said

Colonials operated Catholic Churches in Somaliland since the 1800s. Edna comes from these roots, even her name is Christian.

I always thought Edna was a Somali name since many Somali girls hold that name. So this name is foreign and became popularized among Somalis? Interesting.

Adna is a name used by Somalis, I know a few girls that go by that name but I think the origin is probably European.

Lots of questions, how did her mother become Christian? Did whole families sometimes convert due to colonization? Also, Somalis I believe have become a lot more conservative over the ages. I can’t imagine people accepting a Somali Christian family living amongst them and their son marrying them. Also, Edna ended up marrying a former Prime Minister of Somalia and was rubbing shoulders with Somali elites with no issues. I find it strange they didn’t hold that against her.

What a weird time period.

@Shimbiris

Maybe her mother was an orphan, in Xamar the only Somali people who were Christian were orphans and abandoned children who were taken in by nuns and raised as Catholics.

*secular countries

The west has as much to do with christianity as edna's mother is muslim .

 

[Gacmeey]

That's heresy right???

Hard to say from just one sentence. Depends on what she means by the same and in what way.

Adna is a beautiful name though. I wonder what is it’s language origins and what meaning the name carries?

If it carries a good meaning insha’Allah i’ll mame my daughter that name.

 

[Rocktheboat]

Why is this news? You guys wonder why your country is hell but it's so obvious. Get that hate out of your hearts

Edna Aden both names are of hebrew origin SHES A JEW!!!

There is no concrete evidence suggesting that she was ever a Muslim

 

[𐒋𐒖𐒆𐒔𐒖𐒕𐒈]

Despite her lax morals, dodgy ethics, odious clan politics, stroppy posture, and wry perspective in life, that 85 years old lady is a force of nature, if a remarkable person. Imagine her stature amongst her people had she not dabbled in odious clan politics, and peddled palpable loath for her fellow Somalis.

'My religion' she said about Islam. Affirmative.
'Quarter of a million people died', she said about the 1988 war. Highly unethical.

There were definitely general Ethiopian Highland cultural influences all over Somaliweyn with some regions usurping others in that regard:

Canjeero seems the proper way to me given "Injera" in Ethiopia. Laxoox is the word Yemenis use and Woqooyis and northerners in general have more pronounced Arabian influences whereas Koonfur has more pronounced Ethiopian influences. Like how reer Woqooyi will say "Digaag" for chicken but reer Koonfur will say "Doro" which is the same word in Amharic. A lot of folks also don't know that the staple historical crops of the riverine south are not at all Bantu in origin but from Ethiopia like sesame and durra:

The Durra Complex in the Central Highlands of Ethiopia on JSTOR

Clarke Brooke, The Durra Complex in the Central Highlands of Ethiopia, Economic Botany, Vol. 12, No. 2 (Apr. - Jun., 1958), pp. 192-204

www.jstor.org

Reer Koonfur also historically seemed to use vernacular architecture more in line with Ethiopia than the north like a higher frequency of conical style huts found in abundance in Ethiopia as opposed to the rectangular ones more popular in the north.

And this goes back hundreds to thousands of years. They were always our closest trade partners and contacts and we existed very much on a cultural continuum in terms of attire, customs and foods with all other Horner groups. Somalis and Afars are honestly just "Coastal Ethiopians" who became somewhat more isolated due to their arid lands and took on strong cultural influences from groups they made contact with via the sea like Arabs and Indians. But you are correct that specifically Christian influences are not really a thing.
