I was asking locals if Christianity was practised by Northern somalis before islam. They answered yes in the 3rd century Coptic Christianity was present and apparently there are christian ruins in zeila.

Guys, you know there were Somalis who practiced Christianity before we mass converted to Islam. Not surprising considering we converted to Islam, due to being in close proximity with groups like Christians and Muslims. We chose to follow Islam like our neighbors chose Christianity.

Edit: Most likely, there weren't a lot of Christian Somalis.

According to the historical linguistic data we have Somalis were not yet present in the northern part of the peninsula in the 3rd century, so those Christians were most probably some other Cushitic speakers, possibly Beja? like Northern Cushites.

Didn't somalis originate from the north and expand southwards?

We were still worshipping waaq at that time. why that is important is, it was practised by other cushities in Ethiopia the only Christian/muslim at time were the highlanders . when arabs conquered eygpt we were already fully or partially muslim and even though, eygpt adopted Christianity as their religion they fully didn't accept Christianity as many combating sects where fighting this wasn't like sudan or axum who were Christian look time ago. The Arabs told Egyptians we worship one God, one prophet, one book and use one language and they accept Islam.

They may fool you with handful of graves that belongs to Christians, but these are so few that makes us wonder why these graves as little in comparison to other graves around them. Which may mean that either christianity was not spread except among few somalis, or these graves belong to merchants.

There is one guy who was documented with very Coptic name, he was a somali clan elder hirabu.

There is no evidence of christianity ever existing in somlai. Try asking these locals for some evidence.
