MOGADISHU — A hardline Somali Islamist group issued a 10-day ultimatum Saturday to Mogadishu-based radio stations to stop playing all kinds of music or face unspecified penalties, an Islamist leader said.

The Hezb al-Islam group, which controls patches of the war-riven Somali capital, said playing music on radio stations was evil.

"We call on the local radio stations to stop broadcasting the songs and all music as well. We give them a 10-day deadline and any radio station found not complying with the orders... will face sharia action," said Moalim Hashi Mohamed Farah, a senior Hezb al-Islam official, referring to Islamic law.

"We also issue orders banning the local media from using the word 'foreigners' to refer to our Muslim brothers coming from outside the country to help us fight against the enemy of Allah," he told reporters.

AH, Yes...the religion of pieces...at it again. A murderous cult founded on the crazed rantings of pedophile prophet, and bringing us the best of the seventh century for over 1400 years.

Islam is a cancer on humanity.

The music thing is right out of the Taliban, so that's not new. The interesting thing to me in this article is:

"We also issue orders banning the local media from using the word 'foreigners' to refer to our Muslim brothers coming from outside the country to help us fight against the enemy of Allah,"

That goes to the heart of the Islam problem: For the Islamists, every Muslim settlement is a colony pending the future conquest of the country. There is no such thing as national loyalty to them.

"Coming soon to Detroit, Somalia West."
