They crawled into a time machine and can't quite figure out how to get it out of the 7th century.

The tourists dollars are pouring in!

Quick! Find an Ivy League professor who will explain the beauty and reasonableness of this cultural phenomenon.

But don't you know? "Islam is a rekigion of peace!"

What do you suppose the odds are that this story will be on any of the MSM evening news channels tonight?

A million to one?

A billion to one?

A ka-jillion trillion to one?

[wideawake]

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

This level of insane strictness is new even for Islam.

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

[RightWhale]

I would recommend going armed at all times.

Please note my tagline...do you think this would be a viable substitute form of "worship" to their moongod? I'm only trying to keep my head just in case that time-share opens up in Mogadishu

You do understand why they will succeed hugely in Somalia. The ground is plenty fertile for the Islamists to impose their courts and strict form of societal control.

Islamists feel plenty good about themselves showing the grasshopper eaters a better way. First thing cover up those floppies and that junk from foot to toe. Don't show a scrap of skin lest those leopard like men jump you for sex like an animal on the open plain. Our version of infidel is going to blow their crap away when they come griping about us being equally brutish.

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, you will not drink and drive, you will spend life in prison (or worse) if you kill another human being. Many others... A silly dream, I know.

Muslims are the most racist people on earth.

[Ciexyz]

Distressing news.

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.

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.

Who says all cultures aren't beautiful and equal?

[Beagle8U]

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.

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.

Sheik Hussein Barre Rage

Am I the only one who finds this guy's name not only funny but ironic?

[CDHart]

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.
