After I spend some time in Eastleigh Nairobi I was amazed by the ignorance going on in the Somali communities. I remember I was smoking a cigarette on the street and an old man came to be and said: Warya Arent you ashamed of smoking in the middle of the street. Kids are watching you go and smoke in the alleys.
I realized he was right and put out my cigarette but that same old man walked by 13th street in Nairobi where they sell Mirra/Chaad in the middle of the streets just next to the mosques and nobody said something about that.
Another guy once told me. Where there are allot of Somalis. Allot of bad things happen and allot of good things happen.
I sometimes times think the shamefull state we are in as a community in Somalia and outside of Somalia might just be a punishment from Allah because we pick and chose what we are going to take from Islaam based on our ignorance.
