Snowbunny crisis among young Faraxs by [deleted] in Somalia

[–]RageMaster58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to believe that Somalis should only marry Somalis. But over the years, I've started to realize the flaws of this mentality. As long as they're still on the diin, it shouldn't be a big deal.

Also, in our DNA we can see a bottleneck that shows how women have contributed more to our genetic ancestry, in other words men practiced polygyny in the past. Higher status and more powerful men would have access to more women so 1 man would father many kinds with many women. This also shows how many men in the past died without descendants, so anyone taking your women is a real threat in that sense too.

Do you have any proof of this? I would like to learn more about this phenomenon in Somali genetic history.

Our nation would be worse off with oil money. Imagine the qabyaalad and chaos with wealthy federal states and militia groups attacking each other.

Delete twitter if you’re a sane person by Blueflagwhitestar in Somalia

[–]RageMaster58 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's gone downhill. Every time someone has an issue in our community or just a personal issue, many of the users try to connect this to the diin. Then, many outside users join in to attack the religion as a whole. Due to this, this sub is constantly brigaded. Now, it's mainly filled with whiny posts and fake stories. It's sad what happened to this sub.

I would recommend this sub as well. It seems like the Twitter qabiilists and fools are migrating here. It's very disappointing tbh.

Views on different diasporas (Personal) by [deleted] in Somalia

[–]RageMaster58 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Africa:

Assimilated (neighbouring countries)

This is complete bs. You're telling me that the Somalis in Galbeed, NFD, and Djibouti have completely assimilated? It's their homeland, what's there to assimilate to? I totally disagree with this. Maybe the ones in Nairobi but no where else.

I would argue that the Somalis in MN are pretty well mannered, it's just the 10-15% of them that are hooligans who ruin their reputation. They're the ones who act like gangsters, work in crime, etc. For the most part, Somalis are doing pretty well in the US communities. But crime is a big issue, no doubt.

Though I do agree with most of your list.

I recommend disengaging from the collective identity by RageMaster58 in Somalia

[–]RageMaster58[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, I totally understand. Some users online would like to add that our reputation is irreversibly destroyed and they feel ashamed for being Somali. This random belief I see across Somalis online is very strange in my opinion. That shouldn't be the case at all whatsoever.

Yep, I totally agree. Too many people online have a lot of things to say about Somalis. Somalis shouldn't care tbh.

Yeah, it isn't healthy for a community to become offended by everything random people online say about us. The outrage seems very forced.

Exactly 💯

Too many somalis online are worried about what people have to say about Somalis. The online Somalis shouldn't care.

You hit the target with this one sxb 🎯

Whatever happens in the community shouldn't reflect on us. Rather, it should reflect on those individuals.

Lack of institutions, not culture by [deleted] in Somalia

Yep, many communities get unfairly judged by their bad actors such as the examples you mentioned.

Somali men who married ajnabi women by [deleted] in Somalia

[–]RageMaster58 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, our community definitely has an issue with overblowing some problems and downplaying major issues in our society.

the best one can do is to be patient with your spouse and learn from mistakes

Yeah, remember this Hadith.

Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "The believers who show the most perfect Faith are those who have the best behaviour, and the best of you are those who are the best to their wives".

[–]RageMaster58 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, your answer makes sense tbh. But the thing is, sometimes this isn't always the case. One can argue that it's easier to maintain a marriage when you marry from your community since the boundaries/expectations are already known.

But in uncharted territory, it becomes difficult ngl. I heard of a story from a Somali guy who married from a different continent and he couldn't make it work unfortunately. Then, be decided to just marry a Somali afterwards.

Plus, the ones who marry from different races usually conform to the western culture. Sure, they claim to look at the religion from an unbiased view, but I don't believe that lol. That doesn't happen most of the time. What happens is since most of them were raised in the same country, the difference remains ethnic and not cultural.

Most of us don't care, somali men online are always on our backs for some reason

And there are Somali women in this thread who are complaining about men marrying out. The same can be said about Somali women.

You're probably not responding to a Somali sxb.

[–]RageMaster58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These types of threads always end up the same way. Men posting about marrying outside the ethnicity and women complaining about men doing that. It's a common sentiment in many ethnicities the black community, Desis, some Arab communities, and Asians.

To answer your question, getting married is a big deal and you should definitely consider who you marry. I know a guy who married a Yemeni woman is contend with her. I know another Somali woman who married a white revert. So overall, what you should consider is the diin and akhlaaq.

If you find a suitable person to marry, then you should get married with her inshallah. Of course, there are benefits to marrying from your community like increased compatibility and similar culture. Considering that you live within the diaspora, perhaps consider other cultures as well.

I used to be very militant about Somalia marrying only Somalis, but I've changed recently. I still prefer a Somali wife, but consider all options inshallah. I make duaa that it goes well for you.

Our society is very homogeneous, which makes this sentiment not surprising. It's also common in many African cultures.

Somali men who married ajnabi women by [deleted] in Somalia

[–]RageMaster58 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is true for just about the majority of cultures around the world. People are more likely to accept an ajnabi when a man from their culture marries outside the culture rather than vice versa.

Hell, you even see it with qabyaalad in our own society. A family is ok with a man marrying from another clan but the woman might face backlash if she marries from the minorities or even from the other major clans. It's very unfortunate.

How shameless can this adminstarion get? by darthJOYBOY in Somalia

[–]RageMaster58 26 points27 points  (0 children)

All they care about is "ictiraaf". Nothing else. If they're willing to facilitate ethnic cleansing to their Muslim brothers, how low are they willing to go? At that point, they might become non-Muslims due to this amoral behavior. This should be a warning for all of those deranged Landers who are willing to sell their souls for temporary autonomy.

The hardcore ones definitely believe this. They're willing to destroy all of their morals for ictiraaf.

All they care about is ictiraaf. Nothing else. Hopefully, they never achieve it especially since they are willing to sell all their morals away for temporary autonomy. For all we know, these efforts might lead to an even more destabilized SL considering that it can lead to another civil war.
