I mean heritage as the thread was about passing Somali culture. I consider the centuries of Islam a core piece of Somali culture and what it means to be Somali, along with abitrsi, independent of Somali's devoutness..."to be Somali is to be muslim". As a parent we can only teach them the traditions, it still up to the individual (and God's will) for them to actually believe. I'm muslim btw, regardless of how my religiosity vacillatesHow do you pass on Islamic heritage if you’re married to a gaal and aren’t practicing yourself. Also, why would you limit Islam to a heritage when it is religion that needs to be practiced on a day to day basis?
