So...i am somali, and i was on this somali forum...now most somalis are muslim and i and a few other on there are atheist..
we need some of the knowledgeable and intelligent people on here to go there, sign up and school them...heres the link to the topic i question.

<snip>

also, pretend to be somali so they don't ban you or act uppity..thank you so much.

Are you actually in Somalia? Or is this a forum for expats from Somalia? How easy is it to have these discussions in Somalia itself?

I am not sure if I can do much there, it is not my thing to go onto a board which is not really directed at me and start preaching.
I would like to advise you to learn as much about the subject as possible, and do the debating yourself.

Welcome!

... and here I thought you needed help worrying about booty

Generally, OP, it's not the done thing to post on a forum asking members of that forum to go and troll on another one.

Trolls unite!!!!

"TheBootyworrior"?

Pirates do indeed like dat booty.

I'm worried about booty too.

How to get it, how much to get, where to keep it and such.

Not to be mean, but maybe if the non-atheists on the forum are bothering you so much you feel more people need to come in and argue against them, you shouldn't hang around the forum.


Also, because near everyone else is making "booty" comments;

And here I was hoping to get some instructions on "how to be pretend to be somali".

Looking like this one is a one post wonder.

Welcome, TheBootywarrior. I know it's not easy to be a Somali atheist. I'm afraid my personal ethics won't allow me to pretend to be Somali, and I suppose a non-Somali atheists would not be welcome there.

I hope you'll decide to spend some time with us anyway.

I'm going to be a bit nosy, but don't feel obliged to answer any of my questions.

Do you live in Somalia now? If not, what country are you in?

Are you a clan Somali? If so, which clan? I have many friends from Somalia, but most of them are Bantu refugees, not ethnic Somali.

We have an ethnic Somali professor I have met a few times at the University of South Carolina, though: Dr. Garane Garane.

He was very helpful in relocating 22 refugee families from Somalia to Columbia SC.

Yeah, probably so. Too bad, a Somali atheist is a rare breed. Likely a teenager though, and our forum can be a bit of a shark tank for people with undeveloped skills, so it might be just as well to throw him back and give him a chance to grow first.
