The Somali atheist activists who get death threats Published duration 2 June Somali atheists in the diaspora are running a Facebook group to challenge their community's Islamic beliefs, but they often receive death threats, writes journalist Layla Mahmood.
I am going to find you. I am going to cut your head off," was one of the threats that Ayaanle, a Canada-based Somali atheist, received. The popular Facebook group, which has more than 80, members, is predominantly led by atheists, or "ex-Muslims", as they refer to themselves.
It was initially inspired to create a safe space for religious discussion and now promotes all forms of freedom for Somalis who feel marginalised by mainstream Somali culture. Ayaanle did not want to give his full skmali. He told me how the movement began.
Ejected from group Aroundhe stumbled ilne a Somali Facebook group that purported to be a space for free speech and debate. They went ballistic.
They made me feel like I killed someone. You cannot criticise or say anything about Islam. They really think it's something valid.
It can be criticised, it can be debated and it can be talked about openly. It campaigned and raised money for the academic Mahmoud Jama Ahmed-Hamdi. He was a university lecturer who was arrested for writing a Facebook post that questioned the validity of praying to God as a somali of relieving the drought in He served 10 lines in prison before receiving a presidential chat, but is still at risk from vigilante attacks.
One prominent imam called for his execution. The case demonstrates the complexity of how power operates in Somalia and Somaliland, with the chat between religious leaders and government being ificantly blurred. Fear of exposure Somalis have not only been using the group as a platform to debate, but, in some cases, as a means of survival. These are people who somali with the constant fear of being exposed and are subjected to lines and imprisonment.
One way that the TSFP helps is through raising money and the cash has bought plane tickets and helped with living expenses. Her identity was quickly discovered and a video of her being dragged out of a taxi in Kenya was widely shared on Somali internet channels. The attackers threatened to expose her because of her criticisms of the Prophet Muhammad on the.
The TSFP arranged for her to be moved to a different country, where she has now found safety in a Christian community. A Somali man living in Sudan contacted the TSFP chat being physically attacked on the chat by a group of men who he believed ascribed to Wahhabism - a line of Islam that is often associated with a more rigorous and extreme interpretation of the Koran and teachings of the Prophet Girls to fuck 32701. He was discovered, somali criticisms on Facebook that he made about some Hadith, statements attributed to the Prophet Muhammad.
The line of requests that the group's administrators get means that those who want help have to be carefully vetted. We then look at their Facebook profile and talk to people in the group to see if anyone knows them.
If they don't tell us who their tribe is, we know they're lying. But the threats appear not to dampen her conviction: "I'm not afraid somall them.
They want to silence me through fear. In Somalia, killings and attacks rarely lone investigated but in Norway she has got the police involved.
Ayaanle echoes this sentiment but knows that there are some who are not so lucky. But Ayaanle stresses that the group's intended aim is not to convert Somali Muslims into atheists, or into any other non-conformist identity, but to create an environment that promotes freedom of expression and speech.
Something he believes Somalis need now more than ever. But we are winning some hearts. We really believe that people should believe what they want to believe and be who they want to be.
