And I'm talking about kids (particularly girls) who no longer believe but put up the facade in fear of getting disowned and contemplating suicide.
I wonder which is worse..

I wonder which is worse..
And my heart breaks for anyone who has experienced this.Like i said two things can be true at once you are still Somali all this racism still affects you.I’m ngl I’m done with this conversation I don’t enjoy sad topics like this habeen wanagsan!!!!!!!
They definitely can. Well I guess the first step is acknowledgement.
Anyway, I have younger siblings and knowing they're seeing this anti-Somali sentiment online does hurt 100%. Luckily I didn't grow up seeing or even hearing this level of hate and ridicule.

why do you guys use negativity in our community to justify what others say to us? I'll never understand it
Not justifying, but using it to say "hey you don't like how it feels, right? That's how you guys treat us and 10x worse"

And I and the people I know have never engaged in this behaviour. So what then? I cant call out anti-somali behaviour. How does this even correlate?

If you don't then great, but the majority do or at least turn a blind eye to it
With all due respect, I think you're being a bit silly and naive, walaal. If you don't practice Islam then that's entirely your business and no one genuinely cares except maybe any relations you live with.
What ruffles people's feathers and I feel you're wasting your time with is trying to get people to be accepting of atheistic beliefs and thinking. It's a very religious society, for better or worse, so your recourse as someone who wants to remain within the culture is to either be that quiet adeer who doesn't go to the masjid, drinks khamr and no one really bothers because if he is an atheist he keeps it to himself, or be vocal and in people's faces about your disbelief where, I'm sorry, you're going to get some ugly reactions indeed.
That's not it at all. I could care less about preaching against Islam lmao. Just the fact that we exist and try to be part of the Somali community is enough to attract hostility like I mentioned. How many times have you heard "if you ain't Muslim, you ain't Somali"? Case in point really
That's my point. Stop. Wasting. Your. Time. Trying to be part of the community as an open Atheist. Somali society isn't accepting of that. Could be someday but it isn't. You're just gonna cause yourself unnecessary stress and heartache and upset those around you like your fam.
If you're a grown adult who pays their own rent and lives on their own then just quietly do you in the privacy of your own life. I'm not telling you to lie to those around you but again, if you don't bring up the subject and just avoid it, everyone has that adeer who doesn't seem to pray, who drinks and doesn't bring up the deen and most just ignore it and leave him be if he leaves it at that.
Then I hope you don't complain when people hate on Somalis. Just accept the ridicule and abuse. You're a grown adult, presumably, so just aamus and accept people don't like Somalis
Works both ways saaxib
I genuinely don't care what some mentally ill weirdos say on the internet. I've never encountered any of this mentally ill foolery to my face and would probably ignore the weirdo if I did. That being said, don't be disingenuous. No one is launching some online daily smear campaign against "Ex-Muslims" in the Somali community. Most just get attacked when they come into Somali spaces and make a ruckus or try to get accepted. Otherwise, not even Ayaan Hirsi Ali comes up here 99% of the time. Nobody cares what you believe, saaxiib.
Learn to be practical in life, walaal. You seem young and emotional and this is getting boring. Tried to impart some advice but feel free to keep wringing your hands for folks to accept your cawaanism and good luck.

We already at that level but much worse since people are aiming towards our looks. There is no insult worse than people calling your people ugly. The more titkok is there the more is going to get worse, very simple to say.

Don't let the hatred of weak humans who are insecure make you deny your ethnicity. Yes we are being humiliated and right now being a somali in public settings is near social suicide but I'm still going to claim somali regardless of the hate. Too bad that's not the case with the younger generationGrade
