I reiterate.... this is my only experience /w/ Somalis. Having been in the workforce for 30yr, I never knew of a Somali anywhere in the companies I was employed at. That said maybe its a cultural thing where the men don't work typically. I was in construction/production (heavy labor) btw. A local pizza shop here is Somali owned and ran exclusively. I haven't felt so out of sorts and disrespected ever since I went in there for a order. The male sat behind the register, no greeting or smile while the women did the work. He was silent while casting occasional dark looks in my direction while the women chattered away in their language. Once the order was boxed up he couldn't be bothered to even run the register to be paid. I had to press him and make him put down his phone causing serious offense. When he collected the cash by the looks I got he just knew HE was the captain.
I haven't been back since, it's been about 3.5yr now.
Don't play the race card... DENIED
Don't even try Islamophobia... DENIED
Maybe assimilate and follow the laws in the country that took you in.
Taqiyya (or
taqiyah) in Islam refers to
precautionary dissimulation or concealing one's faith when facing mortal danger or severe persecution, allowing a Muslim to outwardly deny their beliefs to protect their life or community, with the true faith kept hidden in the heart. Primarily associated with Shia Islam due to historical persecution, it's a defensive measure rooted in Quranic verses, allowing temporary concealment for self-preservation.
What severe persecution? Mortal danger? Just embrace the society you joined not fleece the soft underbelly then cry about it when your caught.
Good luck pulling, even beating the truth out of those pirates. They all collectively cover for each other.
