the drake emojis perfectly conveyed my face as i read your post.
you, as well as many posters on this site don't understand the concept of individuality. just because one woman decided to become an escort doesn't reflect positively or negatively on anyone else, besides maybe her parents. why you, and your seemingly crazy friend would confront two random people in public just because the female was Somali is beyond me. but your last sentence about not 'consulting your herd' tells me all i need to know about you which means that there's no point in engaging with you any further.
Individuality is a corrupted word. No person is truly fully individual (as the word is used today); especially a Muslim. All your actions should take your environment, your Lord, your people etc. into account. The extreme selfishness promoted by the neo-liberals is satanic in nature (Crowley et al.) and it's destroying the West from the inside. Now you want to bring this filth to us, while simultaneously celebrating Somalinimo?
Second bolded part:
Your are gripped by your emotions. If you don't agree with my statement, then refute it, not stomp out of the room with your fingers in your ear. You act as if what I wrote is outlandish, when in reality it's a viewpoint almost unanimously held by our community elders.
I understand that my words can seem harsh at times, but were are in a crisis as a people. I live in the UK and our boys are rotting in the prisons, our men are unemployed, youth divorce is through the roof, our representatives are dangling from the strings of our regional enemies, etc. etc.
We are in no position to echo the views of Becky the Valley girl. Everyone must make sacrifices for the good of their people. We must return to Somalinimo/Islam (not mutually exclusive but rather complimentary) but innovate it to remove some of its practices that are obsolete (FGM, clan zealousness etc.), before the glorious great Mass Exodus to come. Somalia can not be corrupted by the neo-liberal disease carried by its returning diaspora.
This is my way of thinking and it is by no means the golden path. Hence why I'm writing it on a Somali forum to provoke discussion.
Humour me inadheer. We are all part of the same team.
As a note, since it looks like I'm picking on my sisters, you are the focus right now because of the topic thread I'm posting on. Ragii iyo dumarkii wey kala daranyihiin; if anything the men are worse.
