Xmuslims come from questionable households

[novanova]

I feel like alot of these xmuslim somalis have serious family trauma and not just regular physical/verbal abuse but their parents display really odd behaviours & make strange demands or rules.

I’ve lived with somalis my entire life. My neighbourhood is somali, most classmates were somali, friends are somali. Yet half of these people discussing ”cultural issues” are stuff I’ve never heard of.

I’ve heard them say ridiculous stuff, and they get really defensive and hostile when you point out that some of the stuff that went down in their household is out of the ordinary.

”Somali parents don’t allow their kids to do sports” most somali kids I grew up with played football/basketball (boys & girls btw), or ”somali women are not allowed to travel” once again ALL somali girls I know travel with friends wth, even back home they send their daughters to study abroad for school if they have the means??

Oh ive seen the opposite. Somali guys usually do sports like soccer but rarely do i see somali girls being allowed to do sports. Same with traveling. Ive just now started seeing a trend of girls traveling by themselves but when i was a teen most adult single somali women werent doing tht. Same with a girl living alone wasnt accepted. Now i see it more than back then.

Edit: omg the part where she says u couldnt go out after maghreb prayer. Thts wht my parents said cuz the jinns are outside omg i didnt know another person went through tht. If i wanted to go out after maghreb i had to wait a couple minutes.

Most people back then never lived by themselves because it was never desired to begin with (unless for school/work). Women were independent though, conducted businesses and travelled alone to buy goods etc. and alot of our female relatives migrated to the west by themselves.

Am I being speculative If I say this might be more common amongst reer UK? I feel like that island is more ”radicalized”.

Oh im not from the uk. I was speaking about the somalis in america tht ive been around. I agree tht the uk gives more strict vibes by how they talk on tiktok.

For the maghrib bit, as a kid/young teen I was told the same. After puberty they didn't care as much, just an"intee aadaysaa"

They aren't talking about playing basketball or soccer with your neighbors outside lool. They're talking about missing out on the opportunity to actually compete with an organized team.

Main reason why we don't have any NBA or NFL players for example is because most young somalis never got the opportunity to try out for an actual basketball or a football team.

A lot of somalis raised in america had parents that didn't care about placing them in extracurricular activities. We got a bunch of 6'4+ Farahs that never got the chance too compete.

They were playing in organized teams in both sports, im not talking about just playing outside, perhaps this is just normal in Scandinavia idk.

It would explain why alot of professional players from the somali diaspora seem to be from here

Yea it wasn't a normal thing for a lot of Gen Z and millennial somalis in North America.When I was a teenager the only somalis I knew that competed in sports were the ones that lived within walking distance of their schools.



Even when it comes to track and field only a small minority of Somalis got the opportunity to run track. Hence why we don't have our own mo Farah here in America.

Young Somali american men could have built a stereotype of being the fittest somalis on the planet if a bunch of our young men were given the opportunity to compete in sports just like the Cadaans and Madows we live around. Our youth sports structures in America are literally connected to public school systems. We don't have to join sports academies to become athletes.

The tiktok clout can't be that good.
