We are Muslim and then somali. Africa is just a Continent. Do we share same genes, culture and language with west Africans?

No we don't.
A West African Muslim who is pious, who shuns tribalism & pride, who believes a West African isn't better than a Somali and vice versa--can definitely be better than you.

I didn't say somalis are better then West Africans. If you read my comment all I was saying was we don't share same culture language and genes with west Africans south Africans or north Africans.

Which is more important; sharing Islam, or sharing culture/language/genes? Is X.Playa or Twist closer to you than Hakeem Olajuwon?

Islam is a 1438 year old ideology spread by violence and built on blind faith, cant compare it to Somalinimo. Somalinimo is the blood through our veins. it precedes Islam and will outlasted it too.

Any thinking ,rational and proud human being will tell you traditions, culture and genes above your Islamism but bumps is kinda dumb so...

With your own admission, you hate your own father, brother, uncle and male relatives, so you aren't qualified to make a comment about Somalinimo.
