For example:

1.) That women are thought to be "loose" if they are seen out eating in resturants. (this needs no explaination)

2.) The belief in female circumcisions (and that if you don't get it done, you're thought not to be a virgin and you'll have a "cow" p***y- in the words of Aman).

3.) That all Somalis are one big family, however there are "classes" of Somalis that must not marry. The jaboos(sp?) being the inferior class. Sorry but I'm having a problem with the idea that every human being born in a certain ethinic group or with a certain ancestry is "inferior".

4.) that Light skinned girls must be covered in black to protect them from the "evil eye". (needs no explaination)

5.) Also don't believe in "renting" little girls10 and 11 years old out as MAIDS in other peoples homes. I think a child is a child, and they should be given time to have a child hood.

[line]

1.) Wrong
2.) This is not islamic and is rarely done anymore, mostly in villages, not in the cities.
3.) This is true though, especially now since there is no real order or government, so ppl are even more tribalistic
4.) LOL, never heard about this one, if anything, the light ones are perceived better....Italian brainwash did its job.
5.) It's Africa, and it's 1950's....there is no such thing as childhood.
