I'm Ashamed of Being Somali

[snowflakes821]

I just feel like people stereotype us too much. Its not fair that we're refugees and we came to the West with no money. Why do we receive so much racism towards? How come the other East Africans are not hated like us?

What's wrong with Somalis that makes people hate us? Please help me because I feel like I'm ashamed of being Somali.

, it's one thing to be claiming benefits and killing police in your own country but when you do it in other people's country they get offended and start to lash out and sterotype, I say we ship 'em off back home (the somali's that is)...

don't be ashamed of being Somali my sister. let any of those stereotyped nacayb fall on deaf ears. it's apparently clear that since we came to the western world, our Somali community has been facing & suffering from countless problems. to defeat those sort of predicaments, we need to come together, stand together for who we are, work together as brother, as sisters, as Somalis, and most importantly as Muslims. we need to exhort our inner minds, encourage with one another, and help with each other. and, with one accord, we need to overcome this vicious situation of life once and for all. till then, no matter what happenes always remain steadfast, and be PROUD OF BEING SOMALI!

BTW, have you had the privilege to read this interesting article, written by a prolific Somali writer?


Why I am Not Ashamed to be a Somali.
Idris Ahmed Osman


In every nation, there are certain values, principles and beliefs, which characterizes its identity. Those who strictly and strenuously adhere to it are categorised to be devout and honest followers. Faith is the most influential factor which controls, moulds and curbs Man's activities, whereby other man-made motives of positive attitude, however concretely established, are set to fail and forsake its believer.

Islam is the only faith accepted by God to be the sole means to approach Him through the guidance of His last prophet Muhammad (Salallahu alaihi wasallam) .

A topsy-turvy interpretation/presentation of Islam based on ignorance by its own followers lead to a turmoil and confusion among the non believers.

Islam, though, is the most tolerant, peaceful, cooperative and generous religion. In addition to the above mentioned, there is definitely a deliberate and clandestine conspiracy to undermine Islam. There is extremely abusive image of Islam paradoxically perpetrated and instigated by ignorant individuals who claim to be Muslims. It is a temptation and tribulation ( Fitna ) to the weak-hearted overwhelmingly caused by the abominable deeds of the hypocrites. In my own country, Somalia , Muslims killed, robbed, raped, looted, tortured Muslims. The exodus and massacre of the hundreds of thousands has ever been an enigma and a badge of shame on my face. While I was spending sometime with intellectuals from different countries, sitting on the balcony of a restaurant overlooking on a crystal clear beach, littered with tiny pink crabs, coral reefs and shell fish; I suddenly indulged to boast the mild evening breeze near Abu Hussein seaside, the tumultuous waves of the Indian Ocean which constantly hit its huge rough rocks, Lido, second Lido beach and Jaziira.

Had I limited my exhilarating comments and singing of my own praises to this point, it would have been recorded as a score of mine. As none of my colleagues could contradict me in establishing facts and features of the natural beauty of my own country that it was an innocent peace of land which once used to be a paradise on earth. I was taken deep into my flattering prowess and sense of proud, but startled by one of my colleagues refuting my claims that the quality lies not in a country but its people. Despite being denied of solid evidence to support my argument, yet I did not give in to the defeating blow of the former Italian journalist, Mario; a tall and skinny young man in his thirties with a ponytail, suddenly jumped to his feet fiddling vigorously with his rough leather rotten brown bag, he produced some documents and excerpts of Italian newspapers, depicting the brutal civil conflict since the overthrow of the late regime. Mario seemed to be determined to defy Somali's least human identity, where he went pale and barked in Italian: Mio amico, vedi qui, vedi, vedi cosi, vedi qui e qui e qui, questo e Mogadishu, questo e Kismaiu, e ancora questo e Baidoa!. Each time he was yelling in a vulgar and coarse tone resembling the Napolitano dialect.
