Maybe in Hairy Arab Lands but here in the West the mosques are barely full

I definitely wouldn`t.

[Arabman]

Very sad.

It's a well known socialogical fact that second generation immigrants of Muslims.Become even more extremely connected to their parents home country and all aspects of it's culture.These people you talk about are like PO says just experimenting.

[original dervish]

It depends on the country of origin...although a lot of Muslims have commented to me at the number of Somali youth regularly attending prayers, talks, lessons etc.

It's gonna be a 50-50 split of practicing and non-practicing Somalis

Somali girls in 2014:

The funny thing in this photo is , look at the reflection, who is taking the photos. A girl properly dressed in heavy hijab or gabarsar attire, while the 'thing' that's looks like an abgaal is posing with God knows WHAT THE HELL she is wearing.

[grandpakhalif]

Basra never ceases to amuze me.

[Lillaahiya]

These kids are just testing the waters and seeing how deep it goes from their they will be able to help their kids in a way their parents who had no clue could never help them get balance.

I highly doubt people "test the waters" to look out for their future kids, whatever that means. Moreso, not a good enough 'excuse' to do xyz.

Its clearly inevitable that a large proportion of Somalis born in the west will integrate to some level (unless secluded in a hole at home), they will be shaped by their environment and by the people. As a result they will sympathise or even support the prevailing views and practices in their country.

Already, there are individuals here on Snet who support feminism, are OK with gays, hate the institution of marriage, openly question Islam, who try to find loopholes around Islam, are awed by cadaans and their accomplishments, etc. It's to be expected.
