That is very strange wallahi. Good ok your mom for being proactive. I noticed Somali teens and even those in their early 20s are groupies. What one does the rest will do. Could it be this? It isn't even a peer pressure either because they choose to do it. Whatever the reasons are, it is messed up man. We could have waited couple generations at least before we turned into this.
yes on the group mentality. even if one friend becomes religious they'll all join in I've seen this a lot at my university
