Somalis living in Finland. I know that the skinheads are just stupid kids who usually aren't really intelligent. And they really are a very small minority in our country. There are very few of them in Finland compared for instance to Sweden. But you should prove us, the normal Finnish people, that you earn our respect. You know, we Finns still tend to be quite intolerant towards foreing people and cultures. Show the Finnish people, that you want to work for this country and also respect our laws and culture. Unfortunately the most of you just stay at the same level with the kiddish skinheads making up stupid insults.

I hope you are genuine. You see, I am becoming cynical about seeing any fair-minded Finns on this forum! I know they are out there, but sadly, so is the truth!

The Somalis who live in Finland did say some nasty things here, but they were responding to provocation which, perhaps, they shouldn't have done.

People should not be forced to "prove" anything. Finnish fears are understandable, but racism of that kind should not be excused. And I disagree with you that everyone here was a lost kid who think they are skinheads. There are some obviously "well-educated" perhaps middle-class guys like Ahitaf who spewed pure xenophobia which would have found favour with the Fuhrer!
I hope most Finns aren't like that. For if they are, Finland will surely lose respect all around the world. I do hope I am wrong.

Haybe,

So you have got that impression from
my writings.

I think that Somalis and Finns are not
compatible and they should have their
own countries where to live. And now, here
come the good news, they already have
their own countries! - I am still wainting
the day the Somalis find out it is up to
them to make Somalia a good place to live.
The solution is not emigrating to
abroad. Mass emigration just creates
new little Somalias abroad.

We should be so tolerant we accept ideas
about the world having many kind of
countries. Some of them could be monoracial
some multiracial. Some monocultural, some
multicultural.

Ah! at last! so you decided to come out of the woodworks again!

Most Somalis DO live in Somalia. In fact 95% of all Somalis are actually stil in Somalia. I know that most Finns live in Finland, but I am sure that some Finns decided that the place is too cold for them and decided to live elsewhere. Maybe you should consider emigrating Ahitaf. The world is big, beautiful and warm!

Grow up, my son; and learn about life, tolerance, humanity, kindness, bravery and open-mindedness. I assure you, you will have a much more happier and fulfilling live if you tried some of those values.

You know it and I know it. So why fight it?
Good-luck.
