You are quite clueless and it shows. Most people here befriend people of the same group and its pretty segregated. You can't just up and leave the Somali community like that. You will face social isolation and being ostracized. For some people who are extremely introverted such as myself it's easy keeping a low profile and to yourself but most people are not like this. When you engage with young Somalis there is a certain mindset one must conform to and that mindset is unfortunately not very conducive to being a model minority. The best solution I find is to raise the kids with the deen but in a proper way and not the way Somali parents do it now where they just drop their kids off at dugsi and expect them to figure it all out.
It is not easy to get a job once you have a criminal record. This Republican rhetoric of "pull yourself by the bootstrap" you're regurgitating here isn't very helpful. When you were stupid and young and got caught with drugs once or some other minor infraction you will have a criminal record that is almost impossible to ever get rid of. There is then no point in going to university or looking for any type of work because you will automatically be disqualified by the background checks they run. You will now be forced to turn to the streets and deal dope. I know quite a few good people who quit that lifestyle and Allah swt guided them away from it but they have practically no options in the job market. It's really sad wallah and people like you don't make it any easier when you look down on them.
I live in a neighborhood where the only Somalis are my aunts, uncles and cousins. I can go to my cousins in Copenhagen and chill with them and their Somali friends with no problem. No social isolation for me. I don't have to change my behavior to fit in at all. I'm the same person with Somalis as I am with the Turks and Kurds. It's only when I'm with my Danish friends I'm different, but that's a whole 'nother thing. If Somalis in Canada can't interact with anyone but other Somalis then that means they failed integrating into Canadian society. Canada is multicultural, and living in enclaves won't help your community prosper if it's already shitty.
Islam won't help much. It will help a little with the ''you will go to hell if you do this, don't do it!'' but aside from that you need to help them with homework, disciplining them etc.

Stay away from drugs then and other criminal activity... How hard can it be? Just freeze out all the idiotic Somalis and Jamaicans who deals with that crap. I was friend with a Moroccan guy. He was pretty cool and we had a lot in common, but the dude did a lot of shady shit. What did I do? I froze him out of my life. I have done a lot of stupid shit when I was younger. One being having drugs on me. Luckily no cops busted me. Why? Because I don't walk around with it outside like a dumbass. If you aren't careful with that shit then it's all on you is all I'm saying.

So these people ruined their lives by being around drugs and criminals, and now they sell the same illegal shit that fucked them up in their own neighborhoods?
