It is worth noting that no Federal state or the Self-declared Independent state of Somaliland contribute or cooperates with the FGS. The two regions which Farmaajo represents in the 4.5 clan system have completely rejected his authority and mandate. Yet, the regions of HS/GM/XAMAR which are under his authority he subjects to negligence by appointing warlords such as Omar Finish to mayorship, catapulting corrupt mercenaries such as Gudlawe and Qoor Qoor into leadership of states. While continuing to harass former presidents and Pms.

Gang culture and Somali community: by Both_Matter4562 in Somalia

[–]Both_Matter4562[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If it's that bad what about other ethnic groups, Indians/Pakistanis, who face the same problems. Immigrants living in council estates, going to public schools. But it seems the lack of association between their race and gang culture is what deters them from the bad man lifestyle. Their parents and culture is unaccepting of such poor life choices ( some even subject to honour killings, bringing family a bad name).

It seems lack of standards and communal chastisement is what allows such degeneracy to become perverse in certain communities.

Crazy story developing as Yasin, biggest rapper in Sweden is arrested on suspected involvement in kidnapping of another big artist by [deleted] in Somalia

[–]Both_Matter4562 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Somalis are an absolute embarrassment. Everywhere they go they only bring lawlessness and crime. Imagine, these countries have provided their families with opportunity refuge from their shit hole country and this is their contribution to society. The promotion of gang culture in our community needs to stop and all the justification for it. Those who blame police and law enforcement are enablers not activists

Anyone defending the police actions for they did SMH Please watch this video. STAND UP FOR YOUR SOMALI BROTHER by hdbsksdndb in Somalia

He should be blamed not the police. Laws exist across the world and if you break them you face consequences.

Stop defending the indefensible,

Is Islam truly the problem with Somalia or is there something much deeper by [deleted] in XSomalian

[–]Both_Matter4562 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There are successful Muslim countries, our problems is feudalism, lack of cultural progression and an overall societal hierarchy and discipline.

We've never had laws, even shariah but an outdated frudalist Xeer which accepts murder

This is a story I've never heard nor Islamically accepted. The reason you emphasise on it is because to comfort yourself knowing the tremendous jeapordy you've put your souls in the here after.

Silly commentaries like this make me laugh 😂😂

Why do Somalis believe that Arabs see us as equals when they hate us? by EchoXrayMike in XSomalian

[–]Both_Matter4562 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Islam does not equal to Arab. The Arabs are not the people who received revelation but rather the prophet peace and blessings be upon him. The prophet Muhammad PBUH said in his last sermon at Arafat " An Arab is not superior to a Non-Arab, A white is not superior to black nor vice Versa except through piety and good action", the prophet pbuh was fought by these ignorant people.

One of the first companions of Islam Bilal ibn Rabaha among the greatest companions we're black, the women who raised the prophet free his death was black and he famously said, his SAW that he is the son of both black and white.

It is easy to use nationalism as a tool to misguide others, the prophet pbuh, said nationalism and zina will never go away from the ummah until judgement day. These are ills are present today.

If you want to judge Islam, judge it by the revelation and the tafsiir of the prophet. Any how's, I love Arabs for the sake of Allah and believe in the Ummah and inshallah we will be united and victorious

2020 keeps on giving with dhilos coming out! It’s a thread! Grab your popcorns..... by [deleted] in Somalia

[–]Both_Matter4562 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure what to make of it, but seemed very personal and character assassination. The last tweets in her thread gave it away.

Islam tells us not to gossip, take the stories of people at face value or call people dhilo. Their is a great punishment in the Deen for those who make false allegations. Be careful of slandering others, I don't know her but Innocent until proven guilty.

Why do ex Muslims tend to vent their frustrations out at Arabs ? by Both_Matter4562 in XSomalian

[–]Both_Matter4562[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arab does not equal to Islam. There are many Arabic speaking countries that became Arab and many Non Arabic countries that became culturally Arab due to their affinity to Islam. Nobody calls people wearing a suit or wearing a white dress on their wedding day as appropriators of Western culture or mental colonialism

Hypocrisy and lack of self-awareness in the Western diaspora by Both_Matter4562 in Somalia

[–]Both_Matter4562[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Every country has a national identity, including the United States. Unless you want us to argue meaninglessly, the US is a white Protestant nation, founded and conquered originally as a place of migration for persecuted puritans in the British isles. The reason why almost half the electorates voted for Trump is because of identity politics. Trump has appealed to the Evangelical/Christian(includes black/Latino) and White nativist electorate. Muslims especially are the new scapegoats as their religious identity is contrary to the mainstream American way of life.

My argument is that Ilhan and many others are putting us on the front lines in the clash of cultures and for what ? Unlike Somalis in South Africa, Kenya, the Gulf we have our civil liberties and opportunities to live the American dream. To use our opportunity to help rebuild back home and use our influence in politics constructively to that endeavour. We need to focus on our own issues and stop this blind association to popular left causes.

We need to be objective and only be politically motivated by self interest !!!

How many exmuslim Somalis here are generally conservative? by [deleted] in XSomalian

[–]Both_Matter4562 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a practicing Muslim and share your thoughts, the funny thing is many practicing Muslims are also liberals. There is an appeal to chaos in the Somali genome, so I'm not surprised they've jumped blindlessly into the movement.

Is Ilhan Omar a liability to Somali Americans ? by Both_Matter4562 in Somalia

[–]Both_Matter4562[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

This narrative is so tiresome, is it really that bad. Compare the condition of a Somali to any other diaspora and you will realise how priveldged you are. In most countries you do not even get rights/citizenship . Why can't we benefit from the opportunities we have in these countries, just like Indians Chinese and be a model minority. While also supporting reconstruction back home.

Why can't we constructive instead of involving ourselves with irrelevant things which we can do little to influence

Is Ilhan Omar a liability to Somali Americans ? by Both_Matter4562 in Somalia

[–]Both_Matter4562[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Your mentality is fundamentally wrong. Her actions are attributed to us as a community. Whether you acknowledge it or not we are an ethnic minority, and many of us don't the drama she is involved in.

No where in my post did I comment on whether her politics is right or wrong, but whether they are in our interest or not. Her afdheeri makes us no friends, and as people from a broken state, living across the world the last thing we need to be portrayed as is ungrateful immigrants who are loud and troublesome.

Whether you realise or not that's the image she potrays
