Holac Posted August 4, 2016 The amount of mental illness in our community is staggering. Shameful and disgusting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ElPunto Posted August 4, 2016 Civil war and displacement causes that. But I don't know that there is a greater preponderance of mental illness in the Somali community. BTW - your title references terror - doesn't look like it. You shouldn't feel too personally about this - look at it as you would some random white guy stabbing people. Tragic but hardly cause for hand wringing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
galbeedi Posted August 4, 2016 Actually there are large number of Somalis with mental illness rooming in the diaspora. Even some of those who join the extremists ranks are not that stable. Al-shabaab also uses mentally challenged youth to blow up innocent people. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
