The Rise of Wahabism in Somalia after 1990

[jalaaludin5]

From all the problems Somalis are facing why is the khamiis so threatening to some?

Why is a simple item of clothing (which is nothing more than a 'laba go'...sewn into one) made to look like, an act of treason?

Why do all those khamiis obsessed never talk about the dangers of 'gaalo iska yeelnimo' in the somali community?

If one list all the immediate dangers to the so called "somali culture/way" the khamiis will not be on that list.

if one makes a topic about Somali women that do not wear the hijab or those who do not dress modestly, all those against the khamiis will be the first to defend "their right" to wear whatever they want. Now those same hypocrites with their hidden agenda are using, culture and their love for our old ways, just to attack the CHOICE of muslims who decided to wear the universally known Muslim attire for men. The blessed lamagodle turned into one ingenious piece of clothing.

The Khamiis is not occupying Somalia.
The khamiis is not the reason why Gabre has so many somali politicians and elders as his mistresses.
Ugandan and AMISSOM were not attracted to the khamiis.
Khamiis has nothing to do with QABYAAL and all the wars it cause.
Somaliland didn't leave because of khamiis.
Puntland doesn't recognise villa somalia because of khamiis.
young somalis are leaving the horn risking their lives in the open sea because of khamiis.
Diaspora gang bangers are not killing each other because of khamiis.
The answer to all the broken families has nothing to do with khamiis.

What ever the problem, back home or the Diaspora, KHAMIIS IS NOT IT!!!

Jalaaludin, are you implying that Somalis are prohibited from talking about any topic except for the civil war and the dangers of adopting gaal practises? Then, based on your logic, we shouldn't talk about the American election, Somali singers, space, or even what we ate today.

Imagine my surprise at discovering that there is such a thing as a thoughtcrime on the forum and that it would be discussing the arrival of Wahabism to Somalia.

Its a touchy subject some people are very sensitive about

So sensitive, that one is not allowed to talk about the history of Wahabism in Somalia in fact. It's a sad day indeed when adults can't talk about differing views in a respectful manner.

You can talk about as much as you want, but when the discussion comes to use muslims as scapegoat to our downfalls and shortcomings... we 'll defend them!

And when you start preaching to Somalis to wear an inappropriate dress in public... we 'll preach against it!

I think you're in the wrong thread. Nowhere in this thread did I mention the "downfalls and shortcomings" of any group of people nor did I preach that Somalis should wear immodest styles of clothing. I challenge you to quote anything I had posted that confirms your accusations. Otherwise, you're clearly and consistently misinterpreting the entire thread.

[AirBitaale]

There were several threads about this particular topic; doesn't matter which one was posted!

If you didn't say that, you are arguing for the wrong argument for the wrong time anyways.

Several threads posted specifically about the rise of Wahabism in Somalia? I had just made my account less than a week ago. Clearly I had not seen such threads.

There is no "if". You can't even recall a time when I had and I told you several times I hadnt. To assume to know another person's motives if they have never stated it themselves is quite ignorant. Next time try asking instead of jumping to conclusions.

[AirBitaale]

Actually, you have no idea how easy it is to spot those who use the religion for their own agenda!

[shimbiraale]

Sure, if your only criteria is to assume that anyone who deviates from your opinion the slightest bit, they're a double agent. That's bordering on paranoia, saxib.

[AirBitaale]

I'll give you the benefits of the debt sxb, but running around with wahabi this wahabi that is ridiculous.

I would think that the ones being offended at a topic are the ones taking snet too seriously. Objecting to name-calling is well within reason.

naah, this is somalinet. people rip each other. this is just little welcome like for you. take it before it's too late.lol

[jalaaludin5]

No one is prohibiting anything. You can talk about Wahabism and the khamiis till the cows come home. But people on this site have developed a nose for those with...hidden agendas. Using the love of "OUR BEAUTIFUL CULTURE" and all that insincere palver isn't fooling anyone.

Somali are Muslims. And with all their imperfection, nothing is going to change that simple fact.
If you are muslim and have issue with the khamiis then don't wear it.
But for one to claim one thing and yet attack that very same thing (indirectly) speaks volume.

They love and defend FREEDOM OF CHOICE except when it comes to a Muslim's FREEDOM OF CHOICE.
