Should somali guys stop wearing thobes?

[Opone]

Its not that i think its cultural appropriation or anything. Its just odd to me that we are out here wearing the traditional clothing of another race. I feel the same way about abayas but at least some somali girls make it their own and get colorful unque designs. If somalis came up with their own unique thobe style it would be ok. Im disgusted. It would be similar to me wearing the irish skirt thing during eid, or the indian traditional clothing. it would be odd. stop begging arabs.​

You know the macawis is not supposed to be worn in countries we live like US or Canada, thobe is made for all types of temperatures, because everyone wears thobe or robes, Arab wore it, black people wore it, white people wore it, everyone wore it even the Romans.

Yemenis, Somalis, banglis, Sri Lankans all have same designs.

Its not odd because they (gulf arabs) sell it to other countries en masse until its become seen as univeral "muslim" clothing. so its no difference in my mind than a Chinese man wearing jeans...

Thobe is sunnah cloth, I will never stop wearing it, So stop begging Greeks and Romans for pants then, that how it is.

Honestly khamis is also somali clothing now its been worn in somalia for over a thousand years so why isn't it also part of our culture.

What are you talking about I'm embracing my inner somali this is how I will go out from know on

 

[DuctTape]

Now wearing a khamis is begging Arabs?
I don't even know what to say in response to that
The answer to your question is no btw

 

[VixR]

It feels like it's getting more and more common than ever before. It's their choice though. Idk, look the other way or something, but personally I don't like the sight of it either, abayas included.

Khamis is a very holy dress for Arab booty-clappers. Dressing like an Arabian Bedouin will get you into paradise.

 

[horumar]

What a dumbass question. Somalis have been wearing the thobe for centuries. Why should we stop because someone who does not like Arabs, thinks it's wrong for us to wear it?
I type this as I'm wearing one btw

 

[TekNiKo]

How is wearing Khamis Arab bootyclappin? It's been worn by Somalis for years

 

[Sarah136]

Khamiis is sunnah. You guys are going too far with the bootyclapping.
