I just realized Degdeer might've been Ethiopian if she existed.
A symbolic story describing the nature of our greatest adversary. Our forefathers were truly great.

Technically, if you look at from a certain point of view...
The Ethiopians are being Somali-ized(?) by learning and singing in Somali...linguistically and culturally, Somalis hold the W.
But you don't know who's who, that's the problem. We're being infiltrated by the likes of Shaytaan himself claiming AbgaalTechnically, if you look at from a certain point of view...

Yea, I see what you mean...infiltrators are the worstBut you don't know who's who, that's the problem. We're being infiltrated by the likes of Shaytaan himself claiming Abgaal
:siilaanyolaugh: Lol, shaytaan is just a troll though...he was claiming Isaaq too a while ago. About not knowing who is who...what bothers you more: Somalis converting to Christianity(but retaining their language and culture) or Somalis being Ethiopian-ized culturally and linguistically(but retaining their deen/Islam)???
Yea, I see what you mean...infiltrators are the worst
You've just presented two oxymoronic statements. You can't be Somali whilst being an Ethiopian orthodox Christian. You also can't be culturally Ethiopian and be Muslim at the same time, since a lot of Ethiopian "culture" comes from being part of the Ethiopian orthodox church. It's why Hararis and Muslim Oromos tend to be culturally indistinguishable from Somalis.
That is possible, not everything in our culture is linked with our religion
.Are u MuslimYea, I see what you mean...infiltrators are the worst

Every Muslim Ethiopian I've ever seen has more in common with a Sudanese or Somali person than another Ethiopian who's Christian.
Besides your religion, what you got? Shaking your heads, eating anjera, and drinking bun?

Oromo's and Somali's are not the only ethnic groups with Muslim people, you are just associating the 3^ with Islam that is all and probably (as I'm sure you are just on about Eastern Oromo's) language.

You're confusing religion with culture. They are 2 separate things, much like politics and religion.

Being "Somali" only requires that your blood lineage/heritage is indigenous to Somaliland/Ogaden/Djbouti/Somalia and that you have a qabil...nothing else.
I don't deny that religion, culture, and identity are tied very closely together...(especially in East Africa), but it's not impossible to separate them. Are all the Atheist Somalis on this forum no longer Somali by your standards also? Is it impossible for them to be patriots to the land they are from? This is like saying all the South Indians who converted from Hindu to Catholic are no longer Indians because a lot of Indian culture comes from Hinduism. Also, in terms of nationalism...you are discounting mindset, religion is not the only bond a people can have. Example: regardless of what many think, the Muslim Ummah isn't very strong...just look at all the political bs between Muslim Somalis and clan division, let alone the whole Muslim world.
People will always find differences to divide up, religion isn't as much of a unifier as you think. Also you mentioned that Hararis and Oromos are culturally indistinguishable from Somalis???? Wtf kind of bs is that? Hararis and Oromos are their own people with their own distinct history, language, AND culture...the very same people who make this claim that Hararis/Oromos = Somalis/sheikhaal are also the ones who get angry when Axmed Gurey is seen as Ethiopian
. The very same people who make this claim are also the ones who get angry when Oromos expand to Dire...so much for being culturally undistinguishable?. By the way, Ogadenis/Hararis/Oromos aren't the only Muslims in Ethiopia...there are Gurage(Silt'e), Amxaar, and Tigray muslims (although less likely) as well...are these groups culturally indistinguishable from Somalis too? Are they no longer Ethiopian patriots? Tbh, there isn't really one "Ethiopian culture"...Ethiopians have many different indigenous ethnic groups and religiously very diverse: began with Judaism and Paganism before Christianity took hold, after that...Ethiopians Christians have been living peacefully with Ethiopian Muslims for a very long long time and respect one another.P.S. The original Somali religion is Waaq.

Haye, This sounds unnatural.Different, but often intertwined.
Can you direct me to good Ethiopian songs with eskistaOromo's and Somali's are not the only ethnic groups with Muslim people, you are just associating the 3^ with Islam that is all and probably (as I'm sure you are just on about Eastern Oromo's) language.

Horta why is it only Somalis that have this ridiculous opinion that if you're not muslim then you're no longer Somali? I've never seen Arab, Iranian & Malay muslims e.g. questioning the ethnicity of their non-muslim countrymen.
A religon is a set of beliefs that can change, but you can never change your ethnicity/race.

I didn't say if you're Christian you're no longer Somali. I said if you're Ethiopian Christian, you are no longer Somali.
Also, just because some Oromos are culturally similar to us, doesn't give them the right to claim Somali cities. Otherwise I can claim Addis Ababa/Finfinne.
P.S. Ahmed gurey was not Ethiopian, but a chief of the Habr Magaadle tribe.
