I personally have never been with a somali sister. Why? Simply b/c I look at them as Muslims first and foresmost and due to inshallah having a sense of shame or taqwa or whatever u might call it, I find it hard to do so. To do something Haram with another muslimah. If the somali women/girl drinks and really doesn't care about Deen, then she is different. Then I'll treat her like any other nonmuslim chick and have my way with her. But to this day, I haven't and I'm starting to find that there are alot of somali girls that don't care about deen or anything else. I'm sure that other somali men have thought like this.

I'm scurrrred of dem In laws lol Really and truly! Seen it and I just might pull of the new fad for somali men today 'Marry a sis from Somalia and bring here back to the West' so that you can be far away from the inlaws. Your own family too is a danger. Particularly your own mother and aunts. Boy, women sure can stir up heat. 'She doesn't like my cooking, She never talks to us that match, She was from that 'disabled and awful tribe anywayz' yack,yack, yack....'

I think too many somali and muslim men in general emphasize the hijab issue on the sisters and drill it on their foreheads. However, men don't see it as a duty of there's to look like muslims and follow the various sunnahs i.e. wear a beard, wear visible islamic attire such as a muslim cap, thawbs etc. It makes me sooo mad when I see a brother harassing a sister about the hijab when you can't differentiate the brother from a non muslim. I saw this sister the other day, she was a anglo-saxon (white) muslim convert and she was with her husband/muslim friend and the brother didn't look like a muslim at all, yet she did. What kind of example is he setting for the new convert? When my father talks to my sister, he rants at her for not wearing the hijab. Yet, I could swear if I saw my father across the street, I would mistake him for a nonmuslim africana. 'Whoever imitates a people is from them'. I'm a muslim, somali male and this distrubs me. However, it doesn't mean that Not Wearing Hijab is something that can be justified, neither is it for a man to shave their beard and look like a non-muslim aka Kafir, Galoo! What do the sisters think about this? 'Someday, my two cents will go up in value and be worth three cents'
