It's wild that believing marital rape is fine, or believing it's not real, is now within the Somali Overton Window. This is not the way of thinking our parents' or even much older siblings grew up with. Despite the few normal voices on here, it's clear they are in the fringe minority. This conversation is no longer about marital rape but rather the continued path of the community rejecting basic morality. New implications of solidifying Somali groupthink led by mentally ill violent-loving people, educated elites fleeing the civil war, and unbridled religious extremism in the diaspora and in Somalia like this are coming into fruition all the time. Somalis will not see a problem even if it is hitting them in the face, which explains why yet another famine looms or why terrorists can walk freely across Somalia, including Godane in liberal Hargeisa. This is a huge problem and it requires a bold solution. The government needs to be taken over by revolutionaries and jail or even execute people like this sheikh to send a message that this is unacceptable. Its preferable for transgender people to have rights in Somalia than for the majority of the population to find marital rape acceptable or to not exist. Somalis need to be dragged towards the other direction. It's clear at the very least aggressive online psyop is required. You can only fight extremism with extremism from the opposite side because moderates who are pushing against this in this thread will fail on their own. Its very concerning what has happened to the Somali people and no one sees the bigger picture.
