Whipped for wearing a 'deceptive' bra: Hardline Islamists in Somalia publicly flog women
Daily Mail UK ^ | 16 October 2009

Posted on 10/17/2009 1:25:37 PM PDT by Lorianne

A hardline Islamist group in Somalia has begun publicly whipping women for wearing bras that they claim violate Islam as they are 'deceptive'.

The insurgent group Al Shabaab has sent gunmen into the streets of Mogadishu to round up any women who appear to have a firm bust, residents claimed yesterday.

The women are then inspected to see if the firmness is natural, or if it is the result of wearing a bra. If they are found wearing , they are ordered to remove it and shake their breasts, residents said.

Al Shabaab, which seeks to impose a strict interpretation of Sharia law over all Somalia, also amputated a foot and a hand each from two young men accused of robbery earlier this month.

They have also banned movies, musical ringtones, dancing at wedding ceremonies and playing or watching soccer. 'Al Shabaab forced us to wear their type of full veil and now they order us to shake our breasts,' a resident, Halima, told Reuters, adding that her daughters had been whipped on Thursday. 'They are now saying that breasts should be firm naturally, or just flat.' Officials of Al Shabaab, which Washington says is Al Qaeda's proxy in the failed Horn of Africa state, declined to comment.

The group's hardline interpretation of Islamic law has shocked many Somalis, who are traditionally moderate Muslims. Some residents, however, give the insurgents credit for restoring order to the regions under their control.

How these savages treat their women, which god they worship, and even what they eat for breakfast is no concern of ours.

Not only is radical Islam inherently violent and destructive, it’s a sham.

Quit insulting Troglodytes with bats in their brains. Even they are smarter than that.

Wearing a Cross Your Heart Bra would probably get them executed.

Only in so far as they plan to kill us, enslave our women,
make them all get a bikini wax and wipe with their hands,
brush their teeth with twigs, and cook halal meals, on time.

Well, I’m concerned. This will be the future for American women.

If America is not a Christian nation, it will be part of the Islamic nation.

But they have been claiming through their in country operatives that Sharia law isn’t like that.

Islam makes it’s own satire.
