Many Somalis just go on one side and never rebound or embrace the other sides good values. Some of my friends are extremely conservative practicing muslims and others have embraced the Canadian way of life fully. You will see typical Somalis who align themselves with the Saudi culture fully and others who become white washed and can't be differentiated from a typical cadaan youth. Most people forget a third group exist and that includes me. We take from three sides ( Somali culture, deen & western values) and try our best to mix and match. A little of haram and halal mixed together and topped off with Somali culture makes a more balanced result.
