wow nyycc Arab culture. |
Re: Traditional Clothes Of Africa by Lalalaila(f): 11:24pm On May 24, 2013 |
PAGAN 9JA: arab culture ![]() All the pics except the last one are depictions of Somali dress, admittedly the abaya/ gilbab in gold is Islamic dress but you will find this particular style more prevalent in among Somali's. |
Re: Traditional Clothes Of Africa by PAGAN9JA(m): 11:25pm On May 24, 2013 |
so do you consider yourself as an Arab? because all my SOmali friends call themselves Arab. |
Re: Traditional Clothes Of Africa by Lalalaila(f): 11:28pm On May 24, 2013 |
If your trying to get a rise out me its not gonna happen ![]() I am Somali, Somalia is in Africa ergo i am African |
Re: Traditional Clothes Of Africa by PAGAN9JA(m): 11:40pm On May 24, 2013 |
ok so why do you follow Arab religion. why do you worship 1 God? dont you know SOmalia a.k.a Puntland was the Land of the GODS? (that was during the days when Somalia used to be something close to civilized ![]() |
Re: Traditional Clothes Of Africa by Lalalaila(f): 11:56pm On May 24, 2013 |
I don't follow an Arab religion I follow Islam, the majority of Muslim's in the world are not Arabs as for being close to civilized your shows that you are from that yourself. I all I wanted to do was look a how diverse traditional clothes are across the African continent and that's all. But when it comes to Somalia on this forum ppl just go a bit insane, I know the site has a troll problem but i aint one of em. It is so sad that some people on this site seem to revel in the tragedy and misery that has fallen upon their brethren and fellow human beings. There but by the grace of God go you. your country is more developed?? great! Somalia will get there too and at a pace that astonishes the rest of the world as it will learn lessons from the experience of other more developed countries. Now if you have something to share about your traditional dress great, if not Fluff off ![]() 3 Likes |

Lala_laila: I don't follow an Arab religion I follow Islam, the majority of Muslim's in the world are not Arabs that is inconsequential . just because I wear Somali clothes, it doesnt make me Somali. In the same way islam is Arab religion. why then do you invoke your creator in Arabic language and not Af-SOomali, which is the tongue the creator gave you? why do you call the God with an Arabic name " Ällah ", who is also a pre-islamic Creator God , as is clearly mentioned in Qur'an??> as for being close to civilized your shows that you are from that yourself. I all I wanted to do was look a how diverse traditional clothes are across the African continent and that's all. I stated a fact. Infact I was praising your ancestors. are you denying the fact I stated? But when it comes to Somalia on this forum ppl just go a bit insane, I know the site has a troll problem but i aint one of em. yes we have faced a lot of trouble and racism from your brothers. It is so sad that some people on this site seem to revel in the tragedy and misery that has fallen upon their brethren and fellow human beings. no one is reveling. if you see the insults heaped on us everyday and the number of our threads that has gone astray by your people, you will know what I talk about. [img]There but by the grace of God go you. your country is more developed?? great! Somalia will get there too and at a pace that astonishes the rest of the world as it will learn lessons from the experience of other more developed countries.[/img] Let us pray to Lord Amun-Ra that you see this day. Now if you have something to share about your traditional dress great, if not Fluff off heres my TRaditional dress: you like it ![]()
