The issue isn’t the rule, the issue is that these men are incels who are using a teenage boy as their punching bag and cautionary tale for young Somali women as some sort of threat of ‘if you don’t marry us and toe the line, we will dehumanize your offspring’. They also like to insinuate that these kids are bastards despite their parents being both Muslim and married Authobillah.I know a lot of people are gonna hate hearing this, but we need to get rid of the rule where you are only Somali if your dad is. Dhaqanka iyo afka waxaad ka barataa hooyodaa. Most kids you see with Somali fathers and ajanabi mothers tend to be a lot close to the mother’s culture and forget about the fathers. Lineage is one thing but ethnicity is another.
I also noticed how these trolls go way too far. Making it seem like being Somali is ticket to jannah. They are too extreme whether that is harassing mix kids or being extremely racist to ajanabis when they make playful jokes against us(not saying that sometimes it is not justified).
Even if you don’t think he is Somali, he still has Somali Reer Abti, he still has a Somali mother and mentioning it doesn’t mean he is fully Somali or that Somalis have to claim him whole sale, it is simply a biological fact, half of his family are Somali and nothing they can do can take that away nor can they hide behind the deen which they love to do. Bilal Al-Habeshi wasn’t even Habeshi, he had an Arab father but the Prophet s.a.w and the people around Bilal simply acknowledged his Habesha roots and these incels freaks of nature don’t even want people to acknowledge their own mothers. This isn’t Somali culture, this isn’t the deen, this is their own personal incel hang ups they’re inflicting on all of us.
Somalis have never had a rule that one can’t acknowledge their Reer Abtis even if someone is not seen as what their mother is. We have whole tribes called Habr so and so in reference to origin of mothers ect. What these incels are doing is Dhulm and an extreme version of Somali traditionalism and deen.
