When Somalis enter the West they assume they are entering what are historically Christian kingdoms and thus while it is understood that they are Muslims and their hosts are Christians, there is still an assumption on the part of the Somali that he will be surrounded by religion and religious practice in schools, colleges, workplaces, welfare offices, etc. The Somali expects to see Nuns and Bishops and Priests roaming the streets, he expects to see people dressed how Jesus would have dressed, feeding the poor, performing religious rituals, etcDespite the differences with Christianity and Islam, the Somali still feels more comfortable living with observant Christians who pray, fast, and study their Bible than he does around a bunch of people who have no real time for religion and who are more interested in secular pursuits like having fun and partying. For a Somali Muslim religion is 100 percent of life, not simply a bit part. Somalis eat, sleep and breathe Islam, every aspect of their life is governed by following the Quran and Hadiths. They expect similar from their Western hosts with Christianity. It is the shock of a lifetime for a Somali to move to the West and see people not praying, flagrantly drinking alcohol and disregarding God. There's no such as atheism in Somalia. It's as weird as someone openly identifying as a sorcerer or a homosexual.
Then keep being shocked you fucking chimp
>>18769392I'm seen this OP be used for another group.>>18769455OP is making shit up. You do know Somalia did have socialist government for 22 years and the current one isn't a theocracy.
>>18769458>OP is making shit upOh really? go to London or Birmingham and find me a Somali celebrating Halloween. Find me a Somali who doesn't pray and fast. Find for us a Somali who doesn't attend Jummah prayers. Somalis also wear thobes and never indulge in Western clothing and most Somalis consider themselves proudly Arab/Arabized. Somalis are not like your Iranians who do everything to distance themselves from Islam and Arabism. The Somalis hold tight to Islam in all areas of life. Literally every Somali politician in the West still wears hijab and never removes it. Because removal of hijab is a strange and shocking thing to Somalis, unlike these Iranians who make it a pillar of their existence to remove it.
>>18769392Somalis aren't anymore pious than Arabs, Pakistanis, Nigerians, and Indonesians>>18769463>Somalis also wear thobes and never indulge in Western clothing and most Somalis consider themselves proudly Arab/ArabizedPlain wrong
>>18769392Ilaahay SWT ha u naxariisto Sayyidka.
>>18769463>Somali celebrating HalloweenThat'a your criteria for assimilationor integration? A shitty over commercialized holiday? The rest is also rehashed and recycled chud political slop. You want a pride parade? Oh wait the LGBT community in the UK ironically is so hilariously racist they actively vote down any Black related or associated floats or representation.>Somalis are not like your Iranians who do everything to distance themselves from Islam and ArabismCrazed Iranian Gusanos who haven't even visited family back home or speak even one Iranian language are not representative of Persians as a whole.
>>18769392It does depend on what type of Somali's your referring to, second generation ones who've grown up in westernized cities are unlikely to really be shocked by the casual attitude of Christians, since they most likely share a similar casual attitude towards Islam.
>>18769392>>18769463Christianity and Judaism are bullshit hence why nobody takes them seriously anymore, your religion is also bullshit and deserves mockery.
>>18770015>GusanosNo such thing, nothing more than third-worldist copium
>>18770144>casual attitude of ChristiansYou mean actual or irreligious/nominal ones because there's a major gap in both in regards to their grasp/understanding of the faith.
>>18770152You haven't seen the American Iranian diaspora in action.
>>18770194>>18770015They're the same as every other diaspora, i.e. obnoxious ultranationalism for some shithole they've only visited 5 times on holiday
>>18770194>only le diaspora opposes theocracy o algo
>>18769463>find me a Somaliabsolutely not
>>18769392>openly identifying as a sorcerer or a homosexual
Muslims are extremely entitled & performative with their traditions no matter where they spawn from. Islam is the Abrahamic 'give me attention' religion that produces billions of low impulse control golems.
>>18769934>Plain wrongMate I got Somali neighbours on every side. The Somalis are diligent upon Islam. Somali families are at the masjid for fajr every single day even in the rain, thunder or snow, nothing keeps them from the masjid. Perhaps only the Bangladeshis match them for sheer upkeep of religious acts and devotion. You won't see a Somali speaking English to his children, he speaks to them in Somali and Arabic. Even Somali youth are in thobes in school and college and they even have keffiyeh on in school. Somalis are proud of Arab culture and of their Islam and they don't give a shit what a whiteoid Westerner thinks of them, unlike the Iranians who are totally defined by what their hosts think of them and "fitting in" to Western life. Have you ever in your life met a Somali Christian convert or a Somali atheist? It doesn't happen. I mean, there's Ayan Hirsi Ali sure but she is seen as a strange weirdo and not a single Somali claims her.
>pakistani muslim being a niggerlovernot surprising
>>18770193I was mainly answering the question in context of OP's post so I did refer to more 'lax' and nominal ones
Reminder the zutts spitroasted lil mo' mo' (pbuh)
>>18770600Then go back to your third world shithole. I'm tired of you ungrateful coons, constantly puffing your chests and declaring that your savage tribe is the pinnacle of humanity, deriding the west while begging for citizenship. How can you look at your own culture that produced nothing of value and how you would still be living like cavemen if it wasn't for other nations uplifting you, and still act like this.
>>18769392Remind me, how does the piracy fit in with this again?
>>18769392It seems like they should just stay in Somalia then where they are safe from these horrors.
