1-Somalis speaking different dialects can understand each other.
True ,they can of course, apparently I'm the only own who can't ,,,ukh, Lately I've been having difficulties understanding my friend's southerm accent ,even though I pretend not to(b/c it's embarrassing), ,she'll use words that are completely foreign to me ,and I'll either let it slide ,or ask her what it means .Most of the time we'll use expressions (in Somali) ,or individual words ,almost never a complete sentence, uh,I wish I cloud understand better, but southern PPL speak quickly wallahi I can barely catch up,,
Funny! when we r at a gathering and some1 is speaking like her ,me and my other friend ,we'll be like" Translation PLZ", even though he's speaking Somali, and the same thing happens when some1 is speaking like me, ukh, we're pathetic ,HA!!!
Of course, the ones who r worse than us, girls can't who simply can't understand Somali (SHAME ON THEM)
2_Reading Quraan in Arabic is the same as reading it in English.
FALSE, it's not even close ,Arabic is the way that it was nezel cala the prophet (peace upon him),so naturally translation can't be the same thing ,I duno ,some ppl might disagree ,but in my case I don't even believe think that it's possible to recite it properly in English ,uhh,or I'm I wrong ,Allah aclam!!
3_Most people don't mind using the bus in their transportations.
Ok, this is almost a trick question, the way I see it is, if u live in the western world then that is ok, and accepted, and maybe cheaper than using a cab or using your own car.
Around here ,it's embarrassing ,unsual,and simply impossible ,b/c the ones who use it are cadi workers and to a girl or even young guys it's not safe ,besides the bus has many stops ,as one of ciyaal caseer(khlaeej kids) I'm used to having an easy life ,with my folks taking me where I want when I was young ,or using my comfy car now as an adult.
4_Somalis judge different Somalis based on what they r wearing?
I'm afraid to say (one hundernd percent )true…if a girl is wearing a short skirt ,or a tight outfit they'll be atomically labeling her as a Slut)but if she's covered and wears hijaab(then she's respectable),ukh,I really hate his rule ,the say I see it is whatever the girl wears is between her and her creator ,who r we to judge ,and the number of girls who r covered from the outside yet do unbelievable things in the dark are countless…..
5_The last one is not a statement but a question. Does your location affect the way u practice the religion?
I can only answer for myself, by saying of course not, but remembering how I was bak in high school (ppl pleaser) and my tendency to do anything to fit in (as a teenager), I can only say Alexamdellah that I was born in a Muslim country, b/c other wise only Allah knows how I would've turned out to be

Iman, you would have turned out just fine hon. If we all knew the absolute right path from the beginning, there would be no point in growth and maturity. For #4, I think it is all people and not Somalis that judge others superficially. It is such a shame too because people can be so interesting if we take the time.
hala 7ayati.i wish I could say I agree bas (allah a3lam),,tara aya Somalis r way more judgmental than let's say for example(Arabs)I've seen it happen time n time again..uhk
