Fox News ^ | October 19, 2009 | Fox News

Somalia’s hardline Islamist group al Shabaab is cracking down on residents who do not follow a strict form of Sharia Islamic law, now publicly whipping women who wear bras, the Times of India reported.

Residents tell the paper that gunmen have been gathering women in Mogadishu who are perceived to have firm busts. These women are then publicly whipped by masked men as punishment for what Islamist leaders call deception.

its not religion, its all about making women completely controlled and subservient and nothing more than objects to be used at whim. Thats what islam does.

You silly wingnut, that's because it's not oppression oppression. These women chose that way of life (wink, wink) and we wouldn't dream of criticizing their religious freedom. We save that for those dirty Christians in our own country. Gotta fight the good fight!

Behind every brave Muslim, there’s a sexual delinquent. Count on it.

Any minute now I expect to hear vigorous condemnation of these practices from 1)Barrack Hussein Obama, 2) Hillary Clinton, 3) all liberal Women’s liberation groups, and 4) the United Nations. Just going to sit here and wait awhile - I got my Snickers bar...

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

After the age of 15, they can pretty much double as belts.

Sorry my FRiend but a concern for human rights does not end at our borders. Islam is a worldwide problem with victims around the globe.

“Sorry my FRiend but a concern for human rights does not end at our borders”

Do you believe muslins living within the Ummah have the right to practice Islam?

Do you claim the right to define proper Islamic behavior for them?

See Jim, they whole business about all men being created equal by their creator, means just that. When you shoot women in the back of the head on soccer fields, yeah, I kinda think it’s the business of every living person on the planet.

I asked you two questions:

1) Do you think human rights includes the right of muslims to practice Islam?

2) Do you claim the right to define Islam?

I gather from your indirect response that you do NOT believe anyone has a right to practice Islam, as defined by the muslims themselves.

This leads to my third question: What do you want to be done about it, by whom, and who pays?

Hell man, we’ve been doing something about it for the last 8 years. I’m all for destabilizing these Islamic regimes until there are no more left to trouble with. My concern at this point is that I fear President Obama won’t give the generals in Afghanistan the troops they’ve asked for. If it were me, I’d give it all to them and more for good measure.
