MOGADISHU, Somalia — An Islamic court in Somalia on Thursday cut off a hand and foot from each of four men convicted of stealing phones and guns, drawing hundreds of onlookers as the weeping men were punished at a military camp.

The Shariah court that carried out the sentences is run by the powerful insurgent group al-Shabab, which is trying to topple Somalia's U.N.-backed government and install a strict form of Islam.

"The men were bleeding and crying when the man cut their hands and feet off with a long knife," said one witness, Liban Ali. Journalists were not allowed to cover the sentencing. The four were convicted earlier this week in the capital, Mogadishu.

Somali lawmakers pleaded this weekend for immediate international military intervention from countries including Kenya, Ethiopia and Djibouti to help quash the insurgency. But there was no indication reinforcements would be forthcoming.

Can't help you with Ethiopia or Djibouti, but you can talk to Obama about Kenya. I hear he still has some close relationships out there. Not sure why though :)

The world is outraged over Gitmo and yet here, silence.

Typical whack left world response is: “But that’s the custom in their country...we shouldn’t interfere”

Pirates?

Perhaps that should be the punishment for the Somali pirates. Cut off both their hands so they can’t hold any guns. Cut off one of their feet so they limp for the rest of their pathetic lives.

They don’t care about human rights. They don’t care about women’s rights. They don’t care about religious minorities.

They care about toppling Western civilization and the social order.

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

"Cut off one of their feet"

Cut off their three piece set and they won't procreate more $hitbirds like themselves.

Of course these were the very same people protesting Apartheid back in the 80s.

I’d much rather have my feet and hands cut off than having a panty placed on my head.

wmileo, tell us how you really feel. LOL

Imagine if Somali laws could be applied to members of Congress..

[Bluebird Singing]

No way! Islam is tolerant. obama says so.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

It's the lie of multiculturalism. We're all the same and have generally equal values, right ?

Well, this will ‘take a bite out of crime’ as they say.

Oh but the Unites States is SO MUCH WORSE! We take pictures and play loud music, and feed them! THE HORROR

And at the rate we’re going, it’s going to be custom here as well.

Unless America wakes up, you’re right.
