We will never again allow Somalia to be subjugated by the tyranny of Wahaabis. We will never again allow your ilk to suppress Somali culture in favor of an alien one nor will we ever accept cultural imperialism masked as piety. We will never allow misgded Somalis to turn us into the new Sudan.
we
Somali culture shall be paramount in the land of the Somalis.

You are balaayo nijaaso gaal uraayo
take your filth to the west.
We somalis will bring shariah law.
No shiism
No wahhabsim
Shariah Law BI ITHNILAAHI TACAALAA

and ppl like you can go suck up to your colonizers

Fuck the imperialists, both Western and Middle Eastern.

Is it a crime to oppose cultural imperialism?



Is there anything more painful than seeing a parent name their child Amjad instead of Guleed? Is there anything more painful than seeing teenage Somalis in the US wearing khamiises and cimamads when their Arab peers (whose cultural dress the khamiis is) are wearing jeans? Is there anything more painful than seeing Somali parents encouraging their children to learn Arabic when they can barely speak Somali?

Most of those chicks in the first picture were prostitutes for Italian residents of Mogadishu like the girl from the story in this book.

Didn't you know, he's got a crystal ball.

lol hadalka into ka gala?

im talking in 60s and 70s. very rear people used to wear hijab and now majority do wear modesty.

Yes but I'm saying it was a positive change however Somalia it was oppressive (this is not the religion oppressing them).

I'm pro-Qatar, UAE style dress. Headscarf and abaya is the social norm, however no one will force you to wear it.

uae has a high percentage of foreigners
only 16.6% are emiratis ; the rest are foriegners

Back then, Somalis wore short skirts regularly, and while I don't agree with short skirts, I don't agree with the pressure in Somalia today to ensure that women wear abayas and hijabs. But that is a movement that stems from a shift in culture that influences what people think is the best way to observe religion, but does not directly derive from the religion itself. This is relatively new in Somalia, despite Somalia's history of being a Muslim nations for centuries. I think it's beautiful when Muslims dress modestly, whatever they feel that is, but jilbabs be enforced upon others. There is no compulsion in Islam, believers may choose what they want to do for the sake of their souls, so society should not try to be judge and enforcer. After all, we have been staunch Muslims for centuries and have never worn clothes influenced by Saudi on such a large-scale like this. But I don't see it as being oppressive as it is simply dress. What impacts a woman's rights are the laws and customs surrounding women's status and access to education, protection, and work. So Westerners need to focus on what's really important, like speaking out against many of their governments' (especially the US) use of violence (through the military and drones), exploitation, and propaganda that negatively impacts the rights and freedoms of Muslim men, women, and children. But then again, that would put at risk their dominance in the world and thus their nation's wealth and would involve people actually addressing inequality and the imbalance of power in the world. And why would so many people want to put their supposed security at risk? No, rather than addressing the current wrongs done onto others by the West, it's so much easier to take a stance of moral superiority and tell them how they should live, what they should believe, and wear. After all, America (and the rest of the West) loves "freedom" so much it must impose it on others, even if that involves the murders of many Muslim children and other innocents in the process.

Reading those comments from that link aggravates me. Westerners who are so quick to spout their hatred and ignorance on Islam, saying they represent Muslim women's rights, in reality never allow us to have a voice. If we speak for ourselves, they rally against that female as being "brainwashed" or "delusional" while trying to tell us what we really want. In many ways, they force their beliefs down our throats because, of course, their views are the only right ones and need to be enforced upon all of us idle, helpless people who aren't even intelligent enough to know what we want. They need to fudge off, I'm so tired of it.

Go girl!

You got fired up there.

Isn't the idea of condemning hijaab, jilbaab, niqaab, etc. and saying women shouldn't wear it, the same thing as telling them that they should wear it, which they deem as a bad thing?

Why are the same people who are against these so called "arab" dress because it takes form Somali culture, all perfect with Western dress?

Women should not be forced to put niqaab and jilbaab, those are not compulsory.

Hijaab

I'm a Muslim that doesn't want to see half of our population in mobile tents secluded from society and unable to contribute economically, and I sure as hell don't want to see future generations of Somali boys f-king each other in boarding schools out of pent up sexual frustration.

the prophet's wives used to wear niqab
Aisha RA would get a cloth and cut a part of it for her eyes to see
niqab is mustahhab
don't insulting the mothers of the believers
watch your language
a woman is a beauty
she shouldn't go showing it to everyone and go out half naked

saxib don't try to use religion to defend your sickening fetish with Arab culture, you are a very sick person who hates his own culture, we do not need to alter our culture if it does not conflict with the diin and we certainly do not need to adopt to arab culture, the Ummah will not be completely homogeneous, we will have blacks, whites, browns etc with different languages and cultures, they must worship Allah and not his creation(arab culture).

Because pro-Black Somalis feel inferior to Arabs therefore hate anything to do Arabs since it makes feel as though they're copying their 'master'. There's always more than on the shell.

why are folks so damn stuck on both end of the spectrum? either fully failed or half naked..
