Hardline Islamic courts shut cinema halls and barred residents from watching the World Cup, prompting scores of civilians to protest the ban in which two people were killed, court officials and residents have said.
The gunmen loyal to the Joint Islamic Courts (JIC), cut electricity, cleared cinema halls and warned residents against watching the football tournament in areas they control, forcing a violent protest late on Saturday in which two people were killed, residents said Sunday.
The JIC deputy chairman AbdulKadir Ali Omar said the Islamic tribunals would crackdown on halls that defy the order to show western films and video, including the World Cup.
"This is war against all people who show films that promote pornography, drug dealing and all forms of evil," Omar told AFP.
"We shall not even allow the showing of the World Cup because they corrupt the morals of our children whom we endeavour to teach the Islamic way of life," he added.
Islamic courts officials said they were against some elements of World Cup, notably the advertisements for alcohol.
On Sunday, residents said Islamic gunmen were roaming in Sukahola and Huriwa neighbourhoods in northern Mogadishu to ensure that the ban was enforced.
A strict interpretation of Islamic taechings often bans Western films and television as immoral.
"The Islamic courts have ordered the closure of three cinema halls," said Sukahola resident Abdulaziz Hanad told AFP. "They want to make sure that nobody in Mogadishu watches the World Cup."
"Since the Islamic courts took control of Mogadishu, we knew they would not allow us to watch football," said a dejected Dahir Abubakar Hassan, a resident of northern Mogadishu.
Last year, the courts started to forcefully close cinema halls, arguing that they were showing steamy Bollywood and Hollywood films, which have been translated into the Somali language......

When the Islamics establish Sharia law here they will ban NASCAR.
Religion of peace my arse BUMP!
"children whom we endeavour to teach the Islamic way of life," he added"
How long does it take to teach someone to saw off a head?
Isn't that a redundant statement?
Bad PR move by a Govt the first week they are in power.I often wonder how many of these Islamic Hardliners really believe in this perverted version of Islam they profess. This looks more like a Arabic version of the mob to me at times and radical Islam is used as a cover for the masses.
Redundant? No. Oxymoron, perhaps.
When the Islamics establish Sharia law here they will ban NASCAR.
That will be the final straw.
NOW IT'S GAMETIME!!!!!
Another nail in the coffin of radical Islam....
Well, there's choosing a saw, choosing a victim, finding a cameraman, loading a video tape, transferring to computer, editing out the bits indicating where you are, uploading to a site, and press releases to write.
You may think it's easy, but there's a lot of work to be done...
Maybe.
Another way of looking at it is that 'Islamic' and 'Life' are mutally exclusive.
"When the Islamics establish Sharia law here they will ban NASCAR."
Well, at least one positive thing would come of it.
The World Cup fans of Somalia should rise up, cut off the heads of these Islamofascists, and use them as soccer balls.
"I often wonder how many of these Islamic Hardliners really believe in this perverted version of Islam they profess."
It's a familiar pattern with these idiots. Once they get into power, they turn the population against them by beheading and torturing anyone who doesn't toe the line.
Islam is such a fun faith
"Last year, the courts started to forcefully close cinema halls, arguing that they were showing steamy Bollywood and Hollywood films, which have been translated into the Somali language......"
Gee, if the IslamoNazis conquer America, does that mean that all the whiny-ass, linguini-spined Hollywood actors and actresses will suddenly be starring in their own snuff films? And believe me, there'll be NO sequels!
Modern civilization cannot tolerate this by whatever name.
Somalia is soooo very broken. A place of such barbarity is hard for most of us to imagine. Although they let this happen to themselves I can't help but pity the poor wretches that live there. Islam there is nothing more than a shabby disguise for daily, brutal thuggery.
