@Minimow What nash are you?

I am Somali. My mom is half Djboutian and her other half adhere to Somaliland. My father comes from Baladweyne, if the details matter. :-)

Believe those who are seeking the truth. Doubt those who find it.

It's also nice to meet a clutch of Somali rationalist. I now feel less alone than when I wrote the intro

Here is a question for all you guys:

Do you think you'll marry another Somali and if yes, how do you plan to go about that? Will you raise your kids as Muslims or not?

I am in that age (26) and situation (steady job) that people ask me when I am going to marry. "When are you going to find a nice educated Somali girl who loves her religion?".

As a Somali gaal it is difficult. I will probably never marry a Muslim - neither Somali or any other ethnicity. Its not because I dont want to take "the battle" especially when it comes to the upbringing of children, but because I dont see whats the point with trying at all.

But than again we dont control love.

This is very true I'm just going to see where my heart leads me and go there…hopefully it won't lead me to a Muslim!

It's good that you got out of that as soon as you did. See it as a blessing in disguise.

Wasted 6 months of my life though. I was even willing to go along with most of it (except the praying and the daily BS) but it was "join the cult if you want to be with me".

Wrong. We have some control. If you don't want to fall in love with a particular type of person then just avoid interacting with those types of people and then "love" won't develop.

In my opinion a life without curiosity is not a life worth living

^I guess that is true. If you completely avoid interacting with Muslim guys (or in your cases, girls) then you'll never get close enough to one to actually fall in love. I suppose it's a different story if you're constantly surrounded by Muslims or if you didn't know the person you were falling for was Muslim (though the latter seems highly unlikely). What about ye old "love at first sight"?

Sorry to hear that Anubis. You must've really loved her or had a high tolerance for Islamo-BS if you were actually okay with most of it, because I'm staying with a relatively religious family while I'm holidaying here and the constant Quran playing and the YouTube videos of bearded freaks spouting nonsense is doing my head in! I couldn't have this Islamic stuff around me for the rest of my life.

I don't think I could fall in love with someone who was religious. You have to be able to respect your partner and not laugh in their face. Plus like you guys said raising children requires you have fundamental things hashed out and I don't see that happening unless both sides agree to let the child make up its own choices when the child reaches 18 years.

I, too, was in love with a Muslim... in fact he's the guy who "pushed" me to learn about Islam. I was almost ready to live a Muslim lifestyle without being a Muslim, but I slowly came to realize that my freedom is worth more than that and that I have to get over him.

If the abrahamic god judged himself according to his own moral standards, he'd go to hell.

He's jealous, full of pride, he created evil, he doesn't heal sick people while he could, he's attacking people who are weaker than him, he follows his own desires and he commits murders all the time.
