One underlooked blessing of being Somali

[Step a side]

This tweet by a pakistani mutual of mine captures a common thought I've had a lot of times when Ive seen kurds, turks, afghans, pakis etc. all nakedly attack Islam. Even the most deviant Somalis (outside those completed disowned like Ayaan Hirsi) have to outwardly present as muslim. Open blasphemy is never tolerated

All these nations did not take Islam seriously Since the beginning

They were influenced by Greek/Roman culture and ideologies. They already had an extensive written record, we Somalis didn’t. Our written record don’t go back even a millennia.

Its always fobs with the facebook lion pfps that say the most stupid basic knowledge stuff

There was always Christians and Muslims, Kurds back then didn't care about being Kurd same way Arabs didnt really care about being Arab, people identified with their qabils and religion,

Ethno-nationalism is a very new concept, back then it was you, your qabil, and God

But an argument could be made that they still had a sense of ethnic identity
