I've been using the internet ever since the mid 1990's, I can say without a doubt, the internet has tarnished the somali image more than the actual civil war.

When I first came across somnet in 1998 and 19 years later in the current present time, I've seen some crazy shit people.

holy shit 1998

How old are you man

Cadaans have nothing to do with this:umwhat:Our fucking culture is being replaced by arabs who are mentally enslaving you to adopt their ways of living. They're telling us that our way of doing things is wrong and yall just standing there smilling and agreeing like daanyeero. Orod meesha ka kac inaadeer.

Rag waa shaah dumarna waa sheeko.
Dhudhumashada beenta iska joojiya ee ruunta sheega. Pretending they care about dhaqaanka while espousing western values which are alien to somalis,the hypocrisy!!

It's as if they're suffering from "cadaanphile" amnesia that renders them completely oblivious to the cultural subjugation imposed by the west.

I've only one thing to say to that

Tell me how many Somalis do you know that have Somali names? bet all(or 95%) of the Somalis you know have arab names. We've already lost our names, and clothing, next is our language then our genetics- we'll be the next "afro arabs". Somalis seem to think the closer you are to arab, the better muslim you are.
 
It baffles me because there is no goddamn middle ground on this website.
Either people say that the Arab dress is Somali culture and there is no issue, or that Islam is a cancer is the root cause of all this.
It's neither :umwhat:
If Islam is the root cause of all this, then why is this such a recent phenomenon? We've been muslims for over a thousand years.
Islam (more specifically Arab clothings such as the abaya) were only recently made into a thing due to Wahhabism taking a hold over Somalia after the Civil War.

For a group that stereotypically prides itself on "rationality" the atheists on this website are very emotional and can't seem to separate their ridiculously heated hatred for Islam from what's actually going on.

I'm not an atheist sxb, but it just annoys me when people adopt Arab culture in order to "be a good Muslim", when Islam never said to do that--you can keep your own culture, just don't practice anything haram. And yea, it definitely is because of the war, instability is known to fuel extreme viewpoints and actions. Pre-war Somalia seemed to be have been doing a good job of balancing culture and deen.

I am descended from a Yemeni called Shaykh Darood who founded my clan and taught my people Islam 1000 years ago :it0tdo8::it0tdo8:

He is buried in Sanaag. May Allah grant him the highest level of Jannah. :it0tdo8::it0tdo8:

Arab hate = Darood hate. :pacspit:
 
They do not like to hear the truth garacdan. Arabs are mentally colonizing these daanyeero. The majority would rather wear Khamiis than wear macawiis. That's how much they fkn dislike their own culture

Some people have an inferiority complex wallahi. I've had people tell me that they won't name their children Somali names because they're supposedly "pagan" and "Arabic names are closer to the deen" like wtf :faysalwtf:

That's really disgusting, they should be stripped of their Somali cards.

I have a traditional Somali name that suits my personality well.

I just don't like other females with my name, we always end up disliking eachother.

I legit thought this Arab fetish or worship was on sspot only... it's an actual thing wtf

Its pretty bad sis, especially with people that grew up back home. If Somalis don't wake up we'll soon be like Sudan.

live and let die.
f*ck off. If this becomes the new 'Are Somalis Black?' I will now name all my sons Maxamed, Muxamuud and Mehmed:camby:

>muhh dhaqan
But they have more Levi's than macawiis

Insha'Allah I hope that doesn't happen.

But I've noticed it too, I have pictures of my mother and her friends pre civil war.

It was so beautiful, the woman didn't have to cover their hair and wore trousers and they went to parties and it looked really fun.

We did this arabisation come from? Is it the imams who study in Saudi or Yemen or Egypt bringing this back to our country?

I noticed Iran and Afghanistan went through something similar. You're right civil war does bring this about somehow.
