What's your opinion on Somalis being a triple threat?

[Fobnimo Till I Dhimo]

We are madow.
We are Muslim.
We are Somali.


All three examples make Somalis stand out in a way that almost no other minority does.
When multiple ethnicities take issue with these three examples, it tends to unite them in targeting Somalis, and the hate gets tripled from all three angles. It’s an experience that not many in the West go through.

Do you believe in the “triple threat” theory, or do you think it doesn’t reflect reality at all?

Can you imagine how shameful it would be to be loved by the people who have oppressed your ancestors and currently suppress your kin. I could never

In terms of open discrimination by islamaphobes yes especially if they wear a hijab etc

I wouldn't say we should be loved but we should be unnoticed it's better for us all around specifically in the diaspora and build our community up silently

From a male POV; confrontation and battles is good, you shouldnt expect things to go smooth sailing, its not in our nature. Saying that, alx ive never had someone start trouble with me because i am any of those things. the only issues is the general male on male street stuff once in a blue moon, more so because youre black and male and/or young
