World Cup Soccer viewers in Somalia face death, detention
    #12767647 - 06/19/10 04:06 AM (13 years, 9 months ago)

World Cup Soccer viewers in Somalia face detention and even death if caught watching World Cup soccer. A Somali insurgent group, Hizbul Islam, has detained dozens of fans for watching the tournament in recent days. Saturday Islamic militants stormed a house south of Mogadishu and executed two young men watching World Cup soccer on satellite television.

Reports claim gunmen from the Hizbul Islam group entered homes in the Afgoi district, 19 miles south of the capital Mogadishu on Sunday and Monday. The crackdown comes after Islamist groups banned Somalis from watching World Cup matches on TV.

Islamic clerics in Somalia say that watching football is "un-Islamic," and Islamic militants in Somali are threatening football (soccer) fans with public flogging, or worse, if they are caught watching the World Cup on TV.

Somali soccer fans, mindful of the insurgents’ threats, have been compelled to watch the games in a clandestine manner, using makeshift satellite dishes or tuning in to local FM televisions.

The Somali Information Ministry denounced the rebel restrictions, saying, “The Somali people must be allowed to watch the World Cup football.” Unlike in the rebel-held areas, a number of cinemas have been opened in government-controlled territory to show movies and the soccer games at a very low price.

Al Shabab, Somalia’s most powerful Islamist insurgent group, outlawed school bells in a southern town in April after deciding that they were reminiscent of church bells. Similarly, Hizb

This Islamic fundamentalist madness is not new to Somalia. Al Shabab and Hizbul Islam had already outlawed playing soccer games, bras and forms of entertainment like watching soccer games and movies. Al Shabab, Somalia’s most powerful Islamist insurgent group, even went so far as to outlaw school bells in a southern town in April after deciding that they were reminiscent of church bells. While Hizbul Islam recently warned radio stations to stop playing music or face “serious consequences.”

Holy fucking bullshit!

Way to take faith to the next level, fucks. Why isn't the US trapping these fuckers and blowing their brains out? How hard can it be? The more angry someone is the better it is to control them and put them in a corner and do what you have to and rid them off the face of the Earth. Give them to their Allah and 30 virgins because I don't see him or them anywhere around here, so maybe they should stop fucking shit up for everybody.

How hard is it to realize faith is a personal thing and is not to be forced upon people? It's not that hard to understand, regardless of culture. It's simple: you either love or you hate.

Fuckin dirtbags. This is gang activity to the max and it pisses me off. They should kill themselves because there are gangs in the western world too.:rolleyes:
