50,000 is too low, US Census from 2000...isn't too accurateCumar-Labasuul wrote:This is a census of US somalis:FAH1223 wrote:USA is more like 150,000Cumar-Labasuul wrote:You guys are talking about 50,000 for this state and 50,000 for this state when in reality the whole population of somalis in the US is less than 100,000.![]()
Also it's clearly obvious that the largest population of somalis in the west live in the UK - especially London.
"the 2000 US Census of Population counted approximately
36,600 people born in Somalia, over 8,300 people with Somali ancestry not born in
Somalia, and over 5,600 Somali speakers not born in Somalia nor of Somali ancestry.
When summed together these three subgroups total more than 50,000 individuals."

horta maalin baan ciida aaday. it was at the convention center. convention center minnesota one hall baa wuxuu qaadaa 5,000 people. their are 4 halls in one area, other halls are above it, while the bottom part has a whole empty section that is like all the halls openned up. there is no ciid like the minnesota ciid. the convention is probably only used by 30% or less. because every masjid celebrates differently and have their own congregations. anyway their are plenty of halls, centers, ball rooms, community centers and masjids that are also rented by various groups and masjids besides the convention. add to this the people that are going to miss the prayer since its 7 to 8 in the morning. well, i am only talking about the 30% here, we filled the convention upside down i mean packed from side to side, hall to hall, all the floors. add this, we prayed twice. and this is 30%. so 30,000 i think is only measuring the religious people and not others.
intaan waxaad ku dartaa riverside, my hometown, where 8 buildings midkiiba qaado 5,000 iyo 3,000 oo korsaar ah iyo bilaa address, without going any farther. minnesota waa la joogaa.
