Somalis are the anthesis to this western experiment on steroid as their whole fundamental principle lies on ethnic, religion, land, language, clan unit, all identity based on massive Steroids of layered identity checks while other identity based countries, its just language or faith or color.
As for freedom of ideas, human rights, and rule of law are secondary and subject to massive layered of identity checks(unintelligent features). No joke dudes there wud take a dahir alasow in and throw out Einstein, it's not about ideas even if it helps u.
Even jews we insult weren't as identity check mad well not to that extent anyways beyond tribe and language and faith.
Yes identity is important but not at the expense of knowledge or a clear blend is needed of both worlds.
