Whipped for wearing a 'deceptive' bra: Hardline Islamists in Somalia publicly flog women
Daily Mail UK ^ | 16 October 2009

Posted on 10/17/2009 1:25:37 PM PDT by Lorianne

A hardline Islamist group in Somalia has begun publicly whipping women for wearing bras that they claim violate Islam as they are 'deceptive'.

The insurgent group Al Shabaab has sent gunmen into the streets of Mogadishu to round up any women who appear to have a firm bust, residents claimed yesterday.

The women are then inspected to see if the firmness is natural, or if it is the result of wearing a bra. If they are found wearing , they are ordered to remove it and shake their breasts, residents said.

Al Shabaab, which seeks to impose a strict interpretation of Sharia law over all Somalia, also amputated a foot and a hand each from two young men accused of robbery earlier this month.

They have also banned movies, musical ringtones, dancing at wedding ceremonies and playing or watching soccer. 'Al Shabaab forced us to wear their type of full veil and now they order us to shake our breasts,' a resident, Halima, told Reuters, adding that her daughters had been whipped on Thursday. 'They are now saying that breasts should be firm naturally, or just flat.' Officials of Al Shabaab, which Washington says is Al Qaeda's proxy in the failed Horn of Africa state, declined to comment.

The group's hardline interpretation of Islamic law has shocked many Somalis, who are traditionally moderate Muslims. Some residents, however, give the insurgents credit for restoring order to the regions under their control.

brush their teeth with twigs, and cook halal meals, on time.

Remember to add that they cook their meals with dried camel poop.

I wish more people would watch it! I’m a reader and a poster, not a thread starter. I wish someone would use it to start a thread. It’s so very important to understand!

If ever a group of people deserved a nuke, these guys are it. Such a collection of living misprints should be edited from the human story at the first opportunity.

I see a large market for 6” Ace bandages.

Makes one wonder why Islamic men don’t all wake up dead one morning; with up to four wives, they have to sleep sometime.

Well, they got one thing right.

Everyone, please stop making fun of moslems.

They share the religion of our president, Barack Hussein Omoslem, MM MM MM.

If our president is a dirty moslem, then we should respect ALL dirty moslems.

No doubt it would be treated as evidence that the wearer had converted to Christianity.

How these savages treat their women, which god they worship, and even what they eat for breakfast is no concern of ours.

There is a long tradition of Christian humanism on which American Conservatism rests that says otherwise. John Donne's "no man is an island" and all that. And even if one wanted to callous toward the plight of Somali women, it does concern us, thanks to the lax immigration policies that have brought Somalis by the thousands to our shores, and let them go back and forth between here and there.

Yes, all joking aside, we are importing many of these Somalies.

And their young men are returning to the “home country,” after receiving free benefits of all sorts here, to train as terrorists there.

Some day the chickens will come home to roost.

I guess you're not too concerned that how YOU treat your women, which god YOU worship, and even what YOU eat for breakfast of profound concern to them.

Islam has two houses, the house of peace and the house of war. Everywhere that is not under Sharia law is considered the house of war.

But don't be concerned. You'll make a fine Dhimmi.

...it’s funny how they throw their women out there not to be so “over bearing” and “threatening” to us.

Go to the Middle East and you’ll never see that...it’s a tactic they use in Christian dominate countries and should be a red flag!

“I’ve been wondering why I haven’t seen you on here, but now I suspect you have run off and joined the Tali Ban.

Just kidding. But these Tali Ban, inspecting these, then making them shake them, ain’t fooling me one bit.

Now seriously, I think as a covert operation we should arm these women and send them in to take out the Taliban.”

May I modify your plan? OK, I think Bra Bra WaWa and her crew from the View should be dispatched immediately to introduce them to the sag-hag bras worn by her cast and herself. One view of those sistas would shake things up.
