What do you consider yourself first? A Somali or a Muslim?

[Inactive]

Somali regions are shitty today because they put Sunnism before Somalis.

This is why you don't have infrastructure or health care or education.

Show me the hospital. Show me 0.5 km of road. You can't. You can only show me 5 Sunni mosques in one neighborhood of 500 residents.

How come Gulf Arabs are not accepting millions of Syrians if they are put Sunnism first? Why did the Gulf Arabs take zero and Germany took 1 million Syrians in 2015?

Sunnis say one thing but do another. Except Somalis. When they say they are Sunnis first, its true. Other Sunnis are liars

#Shiism4SouthSomali Faqash Rawaafidh.Then Somaliland will have a religious obligation to fight y'all.

They were synonymous to me til I came to SSpot. Muslim first.

Muslim is to have faith and Somali is what you are

You can change your religion but not your ethnicity.

Whole somali tribes have converted to being oromo and some are about to.

 

[Cognitivedissonance]

I'm a Muslim first then a puntlander second markas Somali third lol

 

[Baraf]

Muslim first forever and always

Like you do realise you aren't really making Somalilanders look good

I'm Muslim first, then Somali second.

Not at all, many dir and I think hawiye were absorbed into eastern oromos during the ajuraan. The gurgura, akisho, and garre are being recruited hard into the oromo nation.

Well I don't blame them, they are looking to fit into a wider united community unlike the disunited Somalis. But what's your thoughts on this? Are you disturbed or what?

It's not they chose oromo over somali it's just that they live in very close proximity with oromos. Somalis kick out members and lose land whereas oromos absorb members and gain land. Garre have their own language but are fully somali oddly enough which kind of makes it confusing. Akisho and gurgura are bilingual.

Clannism makes it so that we lose tribes and because these tribes are outside of somalia (garre live in south somalia as well but mainly NFD) they have less unity outside of somalia then inside believe or not.

muslim first

somali name has been ruined by the animals down south

 

[angrycat]

I think some of you misunderstanding what it means to be muslim first or somali first. It doesn't mean oh you can change one, but not the other, it means between your country and Allah, which comes first, between following your religion or culture where they clash, which do you choose?

Muslim first always alhamdulillah, to say otherwise is lowkey disbelief smh

No somali regions are shitty because they put qabilism before somalinimo

 

[Odeg]

I want to say muslim first but before I knew what muslim or Islam is I was a somali.

 

[Zuleikha]

Being a somali is not going to take me to Jannah but my love for allah will.

 

[Kaafiye]

Muslim first.

Somali second.

It's a no-brainer. Your connection to Allah is more important than anything else, and if you value your ethnicity more than you value your Creator...then I seriously doubt your sanity.

 

[Kaafiye]

Those surveys are lies because those countries wouldn't allow other Muslims to live with them in huge numbers.

A Pakistani or an Arab wouldn't be happy if millions of Somalis came into their countries. They wouldn't have an issue with their daughters marrying other Muslims like Somalis.

Pew Research is anti Islamic. They have an agenda

You're retarded. Are you forgetting the fact that Somalia is almost entirely Muslim?

We are Muslims first and Somalis second. Our duties should be to our families first, our fellow Somalis second, and the wider Muslim Ummah third
