Indulgences in local mosque talks; though often questioning the validity of the words of the sheikh, compares ideas with friends of similar type. Has visited extremist website at least once. Has taken part in demonstrations against groups seeking to attack Muslims. Rather educated, possibly an engineering/ science graduate. Has a linear way of thinking. Has very high principles. Examples include: Abdisamad, Somalistar
2. The Educated Type - 'Mr I Am All That' but is living in delusion of nothingness, like his female counterpart, is a practising self-hater. Very Somali in nature, has all the tendencies but is too busy condemning 'his people'. Very removed from Somali society in general. Thinks dating a white chick is the equivalent of moving up the social hierarchy. Very empty inside, very judgemental, very ignorant but usually considered successful by the society in which he lives in. Examples include: Voltage, Murax, TwistedLogic, FAH
3. The Faraax Type The most despised of the men. Reminds all people of what they ‘should be’, but didn’t not become. Commands respect in the community due to eloquence of Somali. Has the potential to succeed through his tough attitude but is lazy not by choice but due to lack of opportunites. Regularly chew khat. Occasionally good with the ladies. In some cases, still awaiting citizenship.![]()
