KANO, Nigeria (AFP) – Islamic police smashed 80,000 bottles of beer in the Nigerian city of Kano on Tuesday to enforce a sharia law ban on consumption of alcohol that exists in much of the country's north.
Over a dozen veiled female sharia police, called Hisbah, destroyed the beer bottles with sticks amid shouts of "Allahu Akbar" (God is Great) on the outskirts of the northern city in a ceremony.
The ceremony was attended by government officials as part of "efforts to rid the state of immorality," said Kano state Hisbah chief Saidu Dukawa. Kano city is the capital of the state by the same name.
"The sale and consumption of alcohol, like all forms of drugs and intoxicants, is illegal in Kano state, which practices sharia law and by this event we are enforcing that ban," Dukawa told AFP.

At least this bottle bust, had nothing to do with Dukawa’s own opium, arms and slave trafficking. He is an observant muslim.

It's true. The rules of their strict Wahhabi brand of Islam don't apply outside of the Kingdom. And so many of them have the disposable income and leisurely schedule that jetting off for a week of debauchery isn't a problem.

Beer murdering B@stards!! Barbarians. Now what are they supposed to drink? Fermented camel’s milk?
I respectfully disagree, Louisiana has banned Sharia in their courts, Oklahoma is next, and finally some politicians are speaking out against the threat of Sharia in America. The tide is turning in our favor.
