Do you identify as Muslim first or Somali first?

[Gibiin-Udug]

I identify as Muslim first then Somali. I believe religion comes first.

@ArchBishopofAtheism what's so funny?

 

[Yahya Liban-Lewis]

I identify as both first, Somalslim/Muslimali

 

[Yonis]

Being Somali and being a Muslim is basically one in the same. A non muslim somali is very rare, tough question

 

[Hybrid]

Ethnicity should come first. We Somalis weren't always Muslim. We have practiced many religions throughout Somali history.

 

[lone]

Somali first. I change my religion every week. I am all.

lol somali first, the time of identifying as Muslim first is long been dead. Only the Arabs use it to push their agenda.

You won't be asked what your ethnicity is in yammawl Qiyama.

 

[Merchant of Mogadishu]

Its not about people lol, its about your creator. Allah created us just to worship him so by default were muslim first

I see your point, i guess I'm Muslim to Allah and Somali to the world.

 

[agnes]

Muslim first.

 

[Apollo]

America first.

An Arab living in Telaviv would say "Israeli first". At least Israel is mentioned in the Quran.

Saudis claim that only a Saudi from Quraysh can be the leader of the Muslims, so for him his country is more important than who can best serve Islam. So ironically everybody who said he is Somali first is thinking like a Salafi.

My soul is Muslim and my body is Somali. My body is a loan and will rot when I die, while my soul lives on. So Muslim first, Somali second.
