@Inquisitive_ is really no different from the
@idc , they both posses belligerent racial hate and stereotyped negative bias towards their own community . Anyone describing their own kinsmen in deragatory ways such as ''
lanky malnourished forehead protruding blick '' and using pseudo science phrenology like ''
like yourself that has Islam written all over his physiognomy'', and you use that wish for the unthinkable to happened to them
'' you'll be the first to be lynched, you unprincipled imbecile'' . It's not be reasoned with and listen to.
Imagine thinking you are Muslim focused while describe Allah's creations that way and placing habar on people. Qof fiyow ma tihid. Don't hide behind Muslim solidarity because people like you have none and are more driven by racial politics.
I have also started notice just like other users on this site ya'll love to drive forced comparisons with us and Indians, when we have nothing in common with them but because they see the hate wave against them on social media they want to incorporate Somalis into it, like some opportunists.
I feel the same way about sikhs/hindus as i do with virtually most non-Muslim communities ''waxba kama ima geelin'' how their culture is like and what religion they choose to practice and how India is as a country. If you find them problematic to deal with step away from them simple as that, don't join the hate mob you don't gain anything from it.
As for Pakistanis i am not sure if its a cultural thing or not about the rape gangs, it might be true because these are older men committing it and the deafening silence from that community when these things take place or are revealed. If true it shows something far more problematic beyond islamophobia from the far right, and it's probably a good thing that awareness is created so they can actively combat it and the Pakistani community are forced to go under introspection.
Anyone concerned over the blowback from the anti-immigrant crowd, nothing major will happen to Somalis that isn't already happening as most arrived in the UK are naturalized citizens and come through legal means and are law abiding.
Even in the doomsday scenario chance they deport people illegally and evict them solely based on ethnic origin or religion. Somalis back home are able to care of themselves.
There is more than double the money circulating inside the country every month ( 2billion digital money transactions) more than the 1 billion remittances Somalis send every year. Somalis are self-reliant for the most part and have deep support systems in place and we are mobile enough to find other revenue streams when needed. Also direct foreign investments are increasing in the country and has opened up, so there will be less need for investment from the diaspora.
Somalia will also stand to gain more from Somalis coming back home, i have covered it in different threads how diaspora return to improve educational institutions, health care and create businesses. It's had a surprising transformation.
So
@MalcolmFitzhugh08 and others are perhaps correct in a way , that Somalis should to focus on themselves more and avoid entangling themselves when it comes to cultural specific things that pertain to select nationalities. We really don't have the insight or leverage to speak on matters that are outside of us.
Somalis arrived to the UK fleeing war, so there is different set of goals we operate with and different set of expectations put on us than the pakistani community or indians who are basically brain drain economic migrants from abroad, they rob their own home country of human capital resources to benefit white corporations in a society that dislikes them in return. Not really something to envy.
