Cali_Gaab: Almost all people have bad folkz and yiu just ran into some bad turks, but come on now somalians wouldnt be in this situation today if they were as nationalistc and proud as the Turks. It is a well known Fact that Arabs dont like Turks because they ruled them for almost over half of their Lifes so it is natural for them to hate. Laughing

No because not all somalis speak and write arabic. Even some who have memorised the quraan cannot write in arabic.

King, Turks are really, really arrogant people. I live in an area with lots of turks, and kurds are much nicer people imo.

The Turks I roll with are from my Uni. They have a better opinion of Somalis than you dare to think.

Aren't Somalis arrogant and xenophobic themselves? You can't fingerpoint a group if you're guilty of it yourselves.

look at this thread. it is posted in english and not somali. arabman like every poster in this thread used english when they all can write in somali, but prefer english over somali at the sametime claim latin is a western script. don't they notice their preferance of english usage and their embarrassment not to use somali? they are hypocrites.
second, why did every post turn into cussing other nationalities? the worst nationality is somali. they are all muslims who raped, destroyed and killed each other and sought refugee in the west. other countries have a functioning government, order and the rule of law, somalis don't.

Arabic is the language of Muslims, not Arabs

just because Somalis want to use Arabic more doesn't mean they are trying to be like Arabs

I don't know why Somalis are so opposed to Arabic language, as if its foreign or some shyt

isn't a way to be more like the Prophet, Sallahu Alayhi Wasallam?
