What a bunch of xoolo's in here, especially the dhoocil @HIBAQ123 who's line-stepping all over this thread. In her emotional tantrum she finds herself contradicting the words of the Prophet (SAW) who was very clear on lineage and dhaxal. Orod xaniinyo iska soo baar.
Ethnic pride and lineage is the field of men and has been weaponised throughout history.
People pointing to 'logic' when every nation mythologises their origin and tie it to a single moral identity where possible are short sighted. Why don't you fact-check the Anglo-Saxon origins, or Romans, Greeks, or any other nation with their wild unfounded claims?
Of course your DNA doesn't change if you're not Muslim you idiots, but it's a sentiment that bolsters ethnic pride and lineage. Every nation does this where they can and alxamdulilah that Somalis at least have a solid historical platform to build this up from: we are one of the earliest tribes outside of the Arabian peninsula to accept Islam - please rejoice in this.
I would go as far as saying Waaq was monotheistic deity and that our ancestors worshiped before the hijra and didn't contradict tawhid. In fact I would even claim we have been monotheistic from our inception as a people. Go ahead and fact check that gaalkaa tahay wasee - I'll simply ignore you and will say it louder.
Somali men, please continue to gatekeep as fiercely as you can.
