HUH???? The USA was backing the Somali warlords? This is news to me.
On Wednesday, a senior cleric announced that any Somali Muslim who failed to perform daily prayers would be killed.
The Religion Of Peace strikes again.
"un-Islamic behaviour", including smoking marijuana, pretending to be Islamic militia, violence and looting."
could this be a precendent to condemining Islamic militants as un-islamic? *puts down bong* and looks up at the starred sky..

News ^ | 2006 Jul 6 | Salad Duhul MOGADISHU, Somalia - Radical Islamic militia fighters in Somalia shot and killed two people who were watching a banned World Cup soccer broadcast, a radio station reported Wednesday. The hard-line Muslim fighters, who have banned watching television, opened fire after a crowd of teenagers defied their orders to leave a hall where a businessman was showing Tuesday's Germany-Italy match on satellite television, according to Shabelle Radio, an independent local station. It said the businessman and a teenage girl were killed. Hard-line Muslim fighters, who wrested control of the Somali capital from warlords in June, have forbidden people from watching television... |
Agreed, they got off easy. Perhaps it was because they were teenagers, although if my fuzzy recollection serves, wasn't 50 lashes regarded as a death sentence for a man in the Old British Navy?
Muffled-sigh-.
It depends on the definition of lashes. Could be a stinging pain, could be a bleeding wound. Of course, we put pot smokers in prison for years.
Better call the ACLU.
For the life of me I can't understand how people can still be living in the 12th century. Or more questioning....how can the people they "rule" allow it to happen?
Not having a Second Amendment is part of the reason.
Very true. I remember a few years ago there was a HUGE collective hissy-fit throughout the MSM about this runt-twit who perpetrated some fairly minor crime in Singapore and was sentenced to just a few "lashes".....he was on Oprah and everything....all of the liberals were moaning and crying over this horribly unjust and barbaric sentence being handed down to this "sweet young boy". It turns out that in Singapore, "lashes" are administered by hitting the criminal with a small, short bamboo stick....only a few minor welts were left on the child and it turned out to be much ado about nothing.
Truly a far cry from a punishment in the old British sailing Navy, where lashes were administered via a true bullwhip and a single lash would lay your back open down to the muscle.
I guess the same way you would if you had to go up against a large organized armed force.
You wouldnt know who you could trust as most all of your neighbors could be too scared or (in trying to find favor) may turn you in. It would be very difficult to organize a reactionary force to combat the better equiped and organized opressive forces.
You would nave to go it pretty much alone against them. Just like trying to fight our army and police forces. Wo do you think would win?
They do not have the second amendment!
Be careful what you wish for ...
Well....I can understand flogging for Pot smoking....
Given the Islamofascists' record, I would put my money on the most painful and brutal of the methods.
<< "Handing Dallas59 a stylish and fashionable flame-resistant suit and quietly moving over to the other side of the room"
They are only allowed to smoke pot before blowing up a bus.
Huh? "scratching furry stoat head in befuddlement"
Are the Islamofascists against chocolate as well?
