The strangest thing happened today.
At one of my classes, I saw a Somali wearing a crucifix. I found this rather amusing and was staring at him without realizing it. As the only Somali I knew who converted to Christianity was insane, I do wonder if there are any Christian Somalis on this forum? And do you know any in person?
I can imagine why someone would go from Islam -> Atheism/Agnostic but I am just genuinely curious as to why someone goes from Islam -> Christianity.
I know several Somalis who were baptized they found faith and closure in that particular religion, they are among the larger communities of Somaali Masiix here in this country and currently the first Somali serviced runned Church is undergoing construction , my biggest concerns are will they fight over it like hebel hebel just as it happens at Somali runned mosques in every country overseas
I'm not fond of religions especially converting from one to another
but I respect their decision ,reslience,
courage and their embark on this risk taking journey
