i know I'm about to get dragged but here it goes.
when i look at CHRISTIAN countries like ethiopia and well...the rest of africa, they seem to be very rich in culture. they retained nearly all of their ancient practices, garments, music, food, etc. while somalis, egyptions, and other muslim african countries seem to completely forget who they were as they were being arabized. somalis in particular became muslim very early on. and when you look at older pictures of us back in the day you see us shift from the all white garb (that kind of looks like what muslims wear to hajj today) to arabic clothing. lets not even mention somali music, that shit is a ethiopian/ yemeni hybrid with a hint of retardation. everything from our food to our daily practices has become arabized. we don't have any uniqueness what so ever and i fear it has only gotten worse as time goes by. arabic is already our second language...why? i see it becoming a first language after the wave of arabic speaking somalis migrate back to somalia form the middle east. all this love and obsession of arabs stems from islam, it has impacted us greatly and that is very sad. i mean our biggest issue is qabilism and well...that stems from arab men too.
