As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh wa laliyal.
00:00:45.700
Oh, yes, brother Ali, what's going on? You're speaking Somali.
00:00:48.140
Well, I'm going to be dropping more of these bars as the video carries on.
00:00:52.300
This is a video directly to my beloved Somali brothers and sisters.
00:00:56.680
But before we do that, what is this video about?
00:00:58.780
So I got a video a couple of days ago called Somali vs Asians on divorced women.
00:01:06.740
Why? Because it's one of the things that I love about that community,
00:01:08.720
which is what? That they don't look down on divorcees.
00:01:13.660
the community doesn't shun her, look down on her or make her feel like she's some kind of rubbish.
00:01:18.280
However, sadly, with the Asian community, that wasn't the case.
00:01:21.120
So in the video, I clearly big up the Somali community.
00:01:24.400
I've seen like with the Asian community, et cetera, this concept.
00:01:28.000
With the Somali community, like personally myself, I've realized that they don't frown upon divorcees.
00:01:34.820
It's like calm, like you know, marry a divorcee.
00:01:38.380
Like from what I've seen, like with the Asians, I have seen it.
00:01:42.140
And I criticize and give some of the Asian community.
00:01:44.540
However, for some odd reasons, we had the Somali community.
00:01:51.160
As a Somali divorce woman, it is not taboo in our culture.
00:01:54.320
Women are not necessarily always the wrong in divorcees.
00:02:01.880
Being a divorcee isn't something ashamed in Somali culture.
00:02:05.640
And Somali women have no issue remarrying after a divorce.
00:02:10.640
But for some odd reason, in the comment section,
00:02:13.140
For some odd reason, going on a mad one with myself.
00:02:16.520
Why are you so obsessed with the Somali community?
00:02:26.200
And why is this assumption as if I have a problem with the Somali community?
00:02:31.500
So, and putting everything to a side, I'm a Muslim.
00:02:58.520
To speak Somali to get the communication to you guys.
00:03:05.380
and i have never ever ever spoken in of the somali community so the question is in this specific
00:03:10.140
video i'm criticizing the asian community but i've got somalis who are upset when i'm praising them
00:03:15.840
and seeing a good quality that the somali community have amongst many alhamdulillah you know the
00:03:21.160
somalis community are known for their quran as well so let's read some of these comments and
00:03:25.280

00:04:19.700

00:05:03.160
said about it now i know this all ties back to one specific issue which is in my marriage documentary

me pursuing marriage with a somali sister that didn't happen because the family not family the
00:05:12.580
uncle wasn't allowing it that's it it's not that deep that was just my story this happened to me with
00:05:18.400
the bengali community it happened to me with the pakistani community it even happened to me with
00:05:21.960
the eritrean community and i talk about that in my marriage documentary this is just my journey that
00:05:26.700
i am talking to people does this mean every somali community is like that or everyone in the somali
00:05:31.340
in the community is like that no of course not this is a specific story and people have this perception
00:05:36.760

00:05:57.080
to learn a lesson from it and i mentioned different sisters that i was getting to know for marriage
