One thing cannot be disputed. Somalia or Somaliland is in
Africa, that's for sure and no "uncle sam" can change that. If
being in the African continent makes you an African, then I am by
all means African. If the Europeans are Europeans because they
are in Europe, then I AM AFRICAN. However, and first and
foremost, I am Muslim. I don't think any of the ignorants here
will understand that. Before I am Somali, before I am African
and before anything else, after being a human being, I am
Muslim. Thus I will have more in common with my Muslim
brothers & sisters. I cannot choose Africans just because we share the
same continent over Muslims. Can anyone come out and tell me
that for them being an African comes first.
No beating around the bush. Straight to the point. I don't
think the above statement leaves any room for misunderstanding or
misrepresentation. Also, it is very simple to understand.
Now if, like me, you believe that being a Muslim comes first,
before being an African, then you cannot be arguing with me
because your loyalties are with the Muslims and the majority of
the Arabs happen to be Muslims. On the otherhand, if you believe
that being an African comes first for you before being a Muslim,
then please come out and say so, by all means. State your
position, otherwise, let's stop this nonsensical debate where you
are beating around the bush and not coming to the point. |
