There's nothing like brotherly ties between Ankara and Mogadishu. Why can't you just do things yourselves without the help and aid from other countries?? Dabadhilif is literally a Somali trait.
A Turkish social affairs officer stationed in Mogadishu lifts young Somali children to bring them joy and comfort. In stark contrast, Israel has killed thousands of children over the past three years and is now seeking to fragment Somalia in response to the close brotherly ties between Ankara and Mogadishu.
@maanidoer96 At this point, you've acknowledged every point I've made while still calling it a diversion, so I don't think there's much left to debate.
Calling something "sunnah" doesn't automatically make it Islamic in origin. Plenty of cultural practices get religious labels over time. The fact that it's practiced by some Christians in Egypt too shows it's not as simple as "religion = cause."
@AbsoluteNomadic@lbnwrld they literally call it sunnah this is omission lol. again if itโs embedded into the culture and religion is used to justify it, differentiating the two is a dead end and ultimately used as cover to prevent the discussions themselves
@maanidoer96 At this point you're arguing with a caricature, not what I've actually said. Explaining that a practice has cultural roots isn't defending it. If you agree it isn't sunnah, then we've already established that religious labeling doesn't automatically make it an Islamic requirement
@maanidoer96 You're proving the point. Acknowledging culture isn't "defense" or "apologetics", it's identifying the source of a practice accurately. If a practice exists among Muslims and non-Muslims in the same regions, then culture is obviously part of the discussion.
@maanidoer96@lbnwrld I've lived in Somalia too, and I've seen plenty of cultural practices blamed on Islam that have little to do with the actual text. Like you folks blame FGM on Wahhabism and islam yet is a cultural somali flex
@maanidoer96@lbnwrld Respectfully, "many women don't feel protected" is a different claim from "Islamic law teaches women are unreliable witnesses." One is about lived experiences, the other is about what the sources actually say. Bad implementation doesn't prove the principle is wrong.
@maanidoer96@lbnwrld You're arguing against a version of Islamic law that exists mostly on Twitter. The verse about two women concerns financial contracts and explicitly states the reason given in the text. It does not say women are less human or less truthful.
