MOGADISHU, Somalia Residents of a southern Somalia town who do not pray five times a day will be beheaded, an official said Wednesday, adding the edict will be implemented in three days.
Shops, tea houses and other public places in Bulo Burto, about 124 miles northeast of the capital, Mogadishu, should be closed during prayer time and no one should be on the streets, said Sheik Hussein Barre Rage, the chairman of the town's Islamic court. His court is part of a network backed by armed militiamen that has taken control of much of southern Somalia in recent months, bringing a strict interpretation of Islam that is alien to many Somalis.

They crawled into a time machine and can't quite figure out how to get it out of the 7th century.

What do you suppose the odds are that this story will be on any of the MSM evening news channels tonight?
A million to one?
A billion to one?
A ka-jillion trillion to one?

This wouldn't even have happened in the 7th century.
This level of insane strictness is new even for Islam.

Ethiopia is threatening to attack Somalia as a defensive measure. Shall we send them guns?

I would recommend going armed at all times.

Ethiopia's regime isn't a pleasant one, but at least they are willing to stop a Taliban-lite regime on their doorstep. I say give them air support too.

They don't have the option. The Islamists ordered guns to be turned in a few weeks ago. Wanna guess what happens next?

Please note my tagline...do you think this would be a viable substitute form of "worship" to their moongod? I'm only trying to keep my head just in case that time-share opens up in Mogadishu

The one who is armed has the option. Firearms are assumed, but I had sharp-edged weapons in mind. Nobody crowds a man who wears a sword.

I understand that this is somewhat new...it's just beyond words. Without a doubt, these are the 21st century's Nazis.

Hmmm, if you don't pray 5 times a day you get beheaded.
Does that mean that if you pray 10 times a day you get.....

You do understand why they will succeed hugely in Somalia. The ground is plenty fertile for the Islamists to impose their courts and strict form of societal control.
Islamists feel plenty good about themselves showing the grasshopper eaters a better way. First thing cover up those floppies and that junk from foot to toe. Don't show a scrap of skin lest those leopard like men jump you for sex like an animal on the open plain. Our version of infidel is going to blow their crap away when they come griping about us being equally brutish.

Wish the US could give orders like this (minus the beheading, of course): you will surrender the name of the baby's father, you will pay child support, you will not drink and drive, you will spend life in prison (or worse) if you kill another human being. Many others... A silly dream, I know.

To Islamists, there is no distinction between Scarlett Johanssen showing off her assets and a poor skinny in sub saharan africa walking around with a stick and wearing nothing but a grin. National Geographic stuff.
