FoxNews ^ | 06 December, 2006 | Al AP

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.

If only all Muslims were this strict, and this prepared to behead each other. They wouldn't have the time, or heads enough left atop of shoulders, to blow up Jews and Westerners.

These people are insane. They scare me to death. Anyone who thinks they will be appeased by talks and foreign aid has lost his mind.

When these Islamic demons try this in my country, I will gladly surrender my life to destroy them. If my government wished to destroy them now, I will be at the front of the line to volunteer though I am 60.

No. I do too.

I had the experience of talking to a guy at HP support named "Jihad". I called on different occasions, and spoke with him more than once.

I faithfully fart toward Mecca five times a day.

I like the sentiment, but to tell you the truth I couldn't tell you which way Mecca was if my life dependend on it, and thank God and George W. Bush it doesn't. Yet.

Wish the US could give orders like this (minus the beheading, of course): you will surrender the name of the baby's father, you will pay child support



In Illinois they'll throw you right into jail for not paying child support.

I knew some dead beat who it happend to.

We already did. Ethiopia is our ally in the area.

Hold on to your guns buy more ammo. Do not let anyone take away your 2nd. amendment rights.

Someday we may face this in the United States, but if they come for my head they better bring their lunch, I intend to take some of them with me.

Those who do not follow the prayer edict after three days have elapsed, "will definitely be beheaded according to Islamic law,"

"...It's time we recognized the nature of the conflict. It's total war and we are all involved. Nobody on our side is exempted because of age, gender, or handicap. The Islamofacists have stolen childhood from the world." [FReeper Retief]

"...That the totalitarian force pitted against freedom wears a religious makes this civil war among mankind all the more difficult to engage. Loving freedom as we do, it seems reprehensible to deliberate against a religion. But this is no ordinary religion as it demands absolute obedience of all to their religion at the cost of freedom itself." [FReeper Backtothestreets]

It was a stronger generation that faced the Nazis.
And you wouldn't have heard anyone insisting there were 'good Nazis' .
Weren't then.
Aren't now.

IF you don't understand the racism at the root of Islam - then find out.
