Afro-Asiatic languages, they are all virtually the same.

Arabic, Oromo, Hebrew, Beja, Berber, Somali - very close languages.

I would rather still have our TRUE culture than the unfortunate arabization of our people.

Islam like all other religions is fake. I would prefer we at least practiced a fake religion that was from our own people than outsiders.

But I digress this isn't a thread about Islam but rather true Somali religion from the past...
I know your type hates Islam more than anything, more than christianity,Judiasm or even Hinduism because deep inside you know Islam is the truth and it burns you on the inside.

Know that life is short and Hell awaits your kind.

Most of us look nothing like them. The people who we share a language with and look like, all live in AFRICA and as far as I know I don't hear the Oromo claiming to be descendant from Arabs.

If anything we are NOT from the Arabs but rather they are from us.

Africa is the birthplace of man. The arabs along with everyone else is descendant from us.
And this is your achilles heel; your obsession with all things Arab. You have political reasons but without the political facts.

Well I am sorry, I like to deal with sound arguments and I present facts. You presented a question. I have never seen a questioner with an already formed stance when the individual is not in a position of forming a stance.

Only reason I talk about Islam more on this site is because most Somalis are muslim. All religions are utterly ridiculous to me and how anyone can still believe them in this day and age with so much knowledge out there refuting these myths is beyond me. I guess some people are weak and need reassurance from religion that their life means something and death isn't the end.

Well hate to break it to ya but the chances YOUR god exists are next to nothing. There have been gods before Allah and there will be gods after him created by people. Shit the Arabs themselves used to worship "Allah" as one of their pagan deities before Muhammad. Allah was the moon god then and has now become just God. The only reason you believe in Islam is cause you were born into it. If you lived 5,000 years ago you wouldn't be muslim. You would be a pagan. If you were born Italian then you would be Catholic, if you born a white American then you would be Protestant, if you born an Indian then you would be Hindu, if you were born Burmese then you would be Buddhist.....and so on. Almost all peoples religious faith is nothing more than what their parents raised them as.

And you right, life is short. So instead of worrying about an afterlife that may or may not exist, I'll worry about living every moment of my life to the fullest because you never know when it'll end. I personally find it funny how you religious folk waste the life you're assured right now for an afterlife that may or may not exist. If hell fire exists then so be it. I don't think there is enough evidence of a God that has a design for our lives and will punish us, but if that is the case I'll know that at least I lived as happy a life as I could in this world. Just know that my reluctance to believe is not that I am opposed to the concept of religion but rather that I don't see ANY evidence for this miraculous God you people believe in. Maybe if he appeared to me like he did Muhammad then I would believe. But as of now I take him as a myth created by a desert nomad just like Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Waaqism, etc.

Peace Brother

All I see now is the entire Islamic world is poor, powerless, and ignorant. None have a standard of living close to the white Christian European countries. The world is run by the white Christians. Under your logic then maybe we should follow Christianity since it has worked out so great for the neanderthal European caveman?

The problem with ur way of thinking is that u dont even know and/or follow history of mankind..
For you ..everything is what can I eat today and who is gonna provide me the bread.. just like what a typical crack head would say..

Ppl follow and learn about history... and as much as u pretend to be someone who has some knowledge of the world.. you act nothing like it..

Yeah 14 million jews control a large portion of the Media and have over 200 nukes.. so why isnt judaism a well followed religion?? just using ur own logic..if influence and who has a greater impact in todays world affairs??

Dude, we have seen the likes of Galool and debated him.. who btw is 100 tmes more intelligent and has more wisdom and knowledge.. marka adiga we are just using u for entertainment purposes.. as u are really not up to any challenge and for sure is/are not a worthy foe. :lol:




Smatar, beentna dhaaf, and say what u want else where , we are having serious talk here.. :lol:

Archeologist can find many things in Somali Walle... my Mom and Uncle claim they saw an ancient ruin in Somali they even went inside and played in there as children they found a grave with Golden objects showed it to grandma but it was too heavy and she left it.. she was scared of jinni and never went back :lol: :lol:

If we dig we can find what the ancients from our land worshiped..
