Waw our country was beautifull. Did you guys noticed that the somali womens didnt look like arabs/pakis back in the days. They look comfortible and educated not the kinda womens we have to day like the they live somewhere in Yemen. Bring back somali culture now.

Wow, I'm American and I never thought that this is how Somalia once was and not to long ago as well, this is very sad to see how such a beautiful country could be destroyed over such horrible reasons.

@ogaal83 I feel sorry for u, how do you dare talk like that while you believe Quran Allah SWT said

يذنين عليهن من جلابيبهن Those who dress like western & those we watched right now & you shall line with infidels unless you all repent to God

من شبه قوم فهو منهم

Thats authentic Hadith from our beloved prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h).

To deny a verse of a Quran kufr so please repent to God be4 u die.

@WinstonKing Your assessment is entirely accurate. Today's Somali women dress like gypsies from the stone age era, they dress with curtains and look like walking tents, it's totally embarrassing to Somalis everywhere. Even Muslims think we're embarrassing Islam because of the way these women dress, and you can't reason with them and explain to them that they should dress better and take good care of themselves, they're so thick headed it's unreal. Women in this video look smart.

@princessrora100 you are totally confusing Arab culture with Islam, we were Muslims even back then and if you are denying that the Somalis of yesterday were Muslims even thought they dressed moderately and never bothered with qamaar and all that Arab shit then you are saying your ancestors were non-muslims... I want old Somali women back, those who dressed beautifully and spoke with confidence, what we have now is a total disgrace, some of them I can't even tell if they are women or not.

[princessrora100]

@ogaal83 subxanllah i can not imagine what you just said, are u even a muslim? We dress according to islam and if you are a muslim you would not have said that if you are say staqfiruAllah.
