This is a nonsense argument, wallahi. Every culture on Earth is heavily influenced by the neighboring larger civilization. The much vaunted Romans and their Etruscan predecessors pretty much photocopied Classical Greek culture. This was Italy before the Greeks influenced it:
This was them after the Greeks began to influence them and heavily colonized the south:
This was the Japanese before civilized Chinese influences really set-in:
After the civilized Chinese influences set-in:
So Somalis are heavily influenced by Arab and Islamic civilization and culture? So what, man? What's there to be ashamed of in that? Yes, our religion comes from Arabia. Yes, camels and horses come from Arabia. A lot of our architecture and probably even our coastal seafaring culture which I will still make more posts on soon come from Arabia and/or India. So what?
These were larger and more prosperous civilizations than us or at least more adjacent to larger and more prosperous civilizations like that of the Fertile Crescent so they inevitably influenced us. And they're genetically, linguistically and historically our somewhat distant cousins. There's no shame in it. It's happened all over the world a hundred times. Truth is, only a handful of places like Eastern China, the Fertile Crescent, Mesoamerica, the Indus Valley and to some extent the Western Sahel and Greater Khorasan folks have any real claim to a truly mostly indigenously developed civilization. Everyone else pretty much got things like agriculture, writing, monumental architecture and whatever else through someone else.
