Should one decide follow another way of life, s/he can easily forfeit their Soomaalinimo as well; their Soomaalinimo as well becoming void and null, i.e. Ayaan and whoever wants to join her is welcome, as long as ay faraha ka qaadaan Soomaalinimo. I don't think that makes sense. Why? Because Soomaalinimo (nationalism) is a human concept that cannot be compared or equated to Islaanimo. Islaanimo transcends nationalism, geography, race, ethnicity, language, iwm. The two concepts are exclusive. Somalis existed since the era of the Pharaohs or even before, and they weren't Muslims at the time. Ayan and those who have left Islam to become atheist, Christian or Yahuud are still Somalis by virtue of having born in Somalia, carrying Somali name, speaking af-Soomaali, retaining Somali culture and tradition, iwm. In Yemen and Marocco, there's a minority of Yahuuds. In many Muslim countries (Nigeria, Egypt, Syria, Palestine, Lebanon, iwm) where a majority of the population is Muslim, there's a non-Muslim minority (Christians, iwm), and their nationalism has nothing to do with religion. So, I don't think your assertions make sense. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fabregas Posted March 17, 2007 Clearly Somalinimo does not equate with Islamnimo. If one stops believing in Allah and his prophet. They are no longer a muslim but they are still are Somali. Ayan Hersi, is a somali woman, she speaks Somali and her family are Somali. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
