Is there really an obsession with converts? Lord have mercy. There are many Somalis who have very good imaan. Why go searching for reverts?Enlightened~Sista wrote:FAH there are brothers and sisters out there who suffer from low self esteem and actually go LOOKING for nonsomalis!!

These people have lost their identity and their culture, their religion and their mother tongue ..plus the media also sends out constant messages that people of a certain race are beautiful etc...so little wonder these people are going with gaalo.
It has nothing to do with Iman, thats what they just tell their parents to get married..snowflakes821 wrote:Is there really an obsession with converts? Lord have mercy.

Yes, it's the media. The media (Hollywood movies, TV, commercials, magazines, etc) advertise and sell gaalos as the best quality product. The reality is, gaalos are just about average, like other people. Most gaalo women aren't even naturally beautiful as they use beautifying products, cosmetic surgery, etc to enhance their appeal. There are some people whom it's almost impossible for the media to influence them; I'm one of them. Never did a commercial influence me to buy the product it was advertising. I don't find cosmetically-enhanced gaalos appealing.FAH1223 wrote:SERIOUS debate...I don't oppose interracial marriage or nothing. But why does it happen. Have both sides of the spectrum failed each other in the community?
We joke about it, but seriously is it the media? is it perception?
