Somalia Islamist Militia Ban Viewing Of World Cup

Topics: Understanding Islam

Militias belonging to the Islamist Courts that are now ruling the Somali capital fired in the air and cut electricity to prevent Somalis from watching the world cup on makeshift cinemas.

(...) As soon as the Islamists took over the security of our city, we thought we would get freedom," said Adam Hashi-Ali, a teenager in Mogadishu. "But now they have been preventing us from watching the World Cup.

The development came on the same day the Islamic militia's leader said he did not want to impose a Taliban-style government in Somalia, a significant shift from his earlier calls for a strict Islamic republic.

No Taliban-style rule? Whose the moron that thought freedom came with Taliban rule?

Hat Tip - The Big Pharoah - who has updates to the story.
