N.O.R.F Posted October 23, 2012 Can't imagine you guys putting up with Somalis calling you all sorts of names every minute of everyday. I mean, some of you get worked up on this forum. How will you cope back home? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Naxar Nugaaleed Posted October 23, 2012 Faith or no faith, Hindu Jew or Muslim, there is no need for thought dictatorship or "to do anything about" what others belief. Mind your business is a good policy when it comes to such things Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GaraadMon Posted October 24, 2012 I wouldn't describe my parents as being backwards, but my mother is rather conservative in comparison to my father.She considers the 'secular' constitution a more urgent matter than hunger in Somalia. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think we have the tendency to measure Somali people and culture solely based on the past two decades thereby discrediting centuries of Somali culture.
