Somalia Town Threatens to Behead People (must pray 5 times)

MOGADISHU, Somalia — Residents of a southern Somalia town who do not pray five times a day will be beheaded, an official said Wednesday, adding the edict will be implemented in three days.

Shops, tea houses and other public places in Bulo Burto, about 124 miles northeast of the capital, Mogadishu, should be closed during prayer time and no one should be on the streets, said Sheik Hussein Barre Rage, the chairman of the town's Islamic court. His court is part of a network backed by armed militiamen that has taken control of much of southern Somalia in recent months, bringing a strict interpretation of Islam that is alien to many Somalis.

Muslims are the most racist people on earth.

Ethiopia is threatening to attack Somalia as a defensive measure. Shall we send them guns?

It would be Haile Selassie of us. :)

I suggest we find a golf course with a well stocked clubhouse for the ISG...and confine them there. That's all they're qualified to do.

Without a doubt, these are the 21st century's Nazis.

Or Nazis were the 20th century Muslims.

Why not, it would just be a clear cut case of preemptive revenge, Somalia will do something stupid to get the war started eventually.

I've seen the "Iraq Surrender Group" line, I'm thinking more along the lines of the "Islam Surrender Group".

Ethiopia's regime isn't a pleasant one

Well, then, the MSM will destroy their reputation and the Democrats will abandon them like Jimmy Carter did with the Shah of Iran.

Funny you should mention him...remember it was the Fascist Italian invasion of Ethiopia which portended (among other things) World War II. It's interesting that once again, we return to Ethiopia.

Sadly that wouldn't be difficult to do. However, the Somalian regime is pure evil.

Who is going to be on the streets during prayer times to make sure no one is on the streets during prayer time?

I hope this country wakes to the clear and present danger of Islam before we hear some guy calling us to forced prayers 5 times a day.

One big difference, however, is that the Nazis troops had sense enough, in general, to avoid death. The new fascists worship death.

In days past, I took an evening walk through the streets of Al Khobar. My walk ususally coincided in part with prayer time.

It was interesting to observe the society.

Many men went to the mosque to pray and to socialize. There are many many mosques, public and semi private. The auto traffic remained about the same,but I seem to recall there was reduced foot traffic. One comical sight were all the Philippinos in Domino Pizza uniforms, sitting on the street and curbs, smoking and chatting until they could go back to work.

Telling, perhaps fortelling the future, were many young men who came to the autoteller machine kiosks just outside the bank on my route. Auto teller machines don't sleep and don't pray.

True, actually the Japanese were a closer parallel to the Death Cult of Islam.

Wanna guess what happens next?

Yup. Time for more commercials -- "Mr. Bush, stop the genocide."

Then let them be cursed by al-lah.

They must kneel on a rug , sniff the butt of the person in front of them 5x a day, to prove they are stupid enough to follow a drunken rapist, Mohammad.

That makes sense./ sarc.

This wouldn't even have happened in the 7th century.

Maybe this is not 7th century, but 22nd century?

Even the WWII Japanese seem more rational than the Islamofascists, but, to be honest, I'm not as well versed in WWII Japanese beliefs in relation to today's Islam as I should be.
