Somali Culture War

[Scipio Africanus]

Cultural revisionists like the guy who tweeted this nonsense are attempting to separate us Somalis from our rich common cultural heritage that we’ve shared with other Arabs for centuries; ranging from food/cuisine to dress/clothing.

The 2 main enemies of an Arabist Somalia are the Afrocentric types and Cushitic nationalists who base their identities on flimsy foundations.

Lol they see a couple faraxs wearing a thobe and all of a sudden we’ve assimilated into Arab culture. Same niggas who’ll see a Somali using spices and they’ll say it came from Yemen or India and it isn’t Somali cuisine. They are just insecure mfs

A lot of the common culture we share with Arabs did indeed originate in Arabia, but we’ve made it our own/localised it.

It’s hard to quantify how much originated from Arabia. Especially when it’s a staple such bread and salt you can’t say things like that originated from somewhere

These peoples are insecure. Everything attributed to Somalis they desperatly try to make it Shisheeye.
They see somalis wearing with similarities to all their neighbours they've been trading and sharing culture with for millennia and all of a sudden it's Arab culture that we stole or "we are being arabized".
Don't get me started on the jreerification of Somali history by blm xalimos. "we were slaves too, blm!! " lmao their southern ancestors probably traded bantus like pokemon cards and they trying to act like they belong to the black American struggle.

And the Salafi Abdi who think everything came from arabs.
I don't even know who these benadiri people are you southerners are a weird lot. But why do I see some Indian half breed jumping on a thread saying all the ancient somali cities and culture and Islam came from foreigners and we were just nomads roaming the desert and we're somehow allergic to the coastline that we ruled. There's no other group who can lay claim to the Somali coast except those Khoisan hunter gathers east cushites wiped out before becoming Proto somali tribes.

Most stuff didn't. Of course geographical & cultural similarities but that's similar with our neighbors Eritrea & Ethiopia. Our dear friend here has a few loose screws, you'll have to forgive him.

Food stuff like maraq, bariis iyo digaag and so forth did originate in Arabia. Another popular dish called Ful originated in Egypt.

All of these things I’ve listed have been localised/“Somalified”, since we’ve been consuming them for a long time & came up with our own variations.

People don't understand that if you live next to another culture and you have been migrating and trading with each other for thousands of years you are bound to have some similarities. I can literally sail from djibouti to yemen on a tiny ass boat in an hour. These idiots.

Rice and meat is not Arab my nigga. We've eaten meat since we walked on two legs.
We got carbs like rice introduced to us through colonialism and we decided to put meat on it.
Rice and a bit of meat isn't cultural or anything wtf. It's the most basic rice dish you can have

This answers that, I doubt Khoi-san were ever that far inland:

Not true. Most Somalis in the past were nomads and did not eat rice based dishes. They ate camel meat etc.

Somalis adopted rice based dishes from the Arabs.

Bruh. Do you really think Maraq originated from Arabia? It’s just boiled meat. You don’t think there are chickens in Somalia that will be eaten alongside food or do chickens also come from Arabia? Where do you get this idea that these foods came from Arabia? Is it because our grandfathers used to go to Aden to buy rice? Most of the cars we buy come from indo yar does that mean that cars originated from indo yar?

There’s only so much people can eat on earth so obviously there will be overlap but that doesn’t mean it originated from somewhere

Maybe in some cities. But rice or any other carbs were not widely consumed until italians came.
Somalis never had a carbs heavy diet and majority of the country is too hot and arid to produce wheat on large scale.

You could've chosen anything to claim as Arab. But these foods you are claiming are foreign are literally the most basic shit you can cook up.
If rice with some meat or boiled meat in a stew is Arab culture then why simp for a people with such dry cuisine warya.

Whether you think it originated in Somalia or Arabia is beside the main point which is we share a common culture.

I’d rather eat a delicious Ful dish than a fufu dish.

 

[NordicSomali]

I really feel sorry for Somalis who suffer from identity crisis, you’re not anything except Somali.

 

[Keep it a boqol]

@Scipio Africanus is not somali.

This has nothing to do with "culture". Rashid is an employee of the liberal west and is paid to push anti-Islam propaganda.

What he really wants to say is he hates how religious and Islamic Somalia is and has become and wish it could revert back to what it used to be before the war. He just knows he cant say it about Islam outright.

He and all the gaals can keep crying about it. Muslims all over the world, especially Somalia have become more religious over the years and will continue to. Especially in these times where most Muslims have become much more aware of liberalism and their plots.
