Monday June 12, 03:07 AM Two die in Somalia as hardline Islamists ban World Cup MOGADISHU (AFP) - Hardline Islamic courts shut cinema halls and barred residents from watching the World Cup, prompting scores of civilians to protest the ban in which two people were killed, court officials and residents said.
The gunmen loyal to the Joint Islamic Courts (JIC), cut electricity, cleared cinema halls and warned residents against watching the football tournament in areas they control, forcing a violent protest late on Saturday in which two people were killed, residents said Sunday.
The JIC deputy chairman AbdulKadir Ali Omar said the Islamic tribunals would crack down on halls that defy the order to show western films and video, including the World Cup.
"This is war against all people who show films that promote pornography, drug dealing and all forms of evil," Omar told AFP.
"We shall not even allow the showing of the World Cup because they corrupt the morals of our children whom we endeavour to teach the Islamic way of life," he added.
Islamic courts officials said they were against some elements of World Cup, notably the advertisements for alcohol.
On Sunday, residents said Islamic gunmen were roaming in Sukahola and Huriwa neighbourhoods in northern Mogadishu to ensure that the ban was enforced.
A strict interpretation of Islamic taechings often bans Western films and television as immoral.
"The Islamic courts have ordered the closure of three cinema halls," said Sukahola resident Abdulaziz Hanad told AFP. "They want to make sure that nobody in Mogadishu watches the World Cup."
"Since the Islamic courts took control of Mogadishu, we knew they would not allow us to watch football," said a dejected Dahir Abubakar Hassan, a resident of northern Mogadishu.
Last year, the courts started to forcefully close cinema halls, arguing that they were showing steamy Bollywood and Hollywood films, which have been translated into the Somali language, to children, which is an apparent violation of the Islamic teachings.
Last Monday, the Islamists defeated the warlords and seized control of most of Mogadishu, sparking fears of a Taliban-like takeover, with the forcible imposition of Sharia law, but the court's leader Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed said he would not impose the laws unless civilians called for them.
Somalia pulled out of international sporting events after the country plunged into anarchy following the violent ouster of dictator Mohamed Siad Barre in 1991.
But residents in other pockets of Mogadishu still under control of the warlords gathered in makeshift cinema halls and watched the tournament that was being relayed from Germany through satellite dishes.
In the remaining warlords' stronghold of Jowhar, about 90 kilometres (55 miles) north of Mogadishu, residents gathered in public cinema halls to watch the 32-nation tournament, an AFP correspondent said.
"If only they can hold the peace for one month and allow us to watch football," Hassan Omar, a teenager in Jowhar told AFP.
In the seat of the impotent and fractured Somali government in Baidoa, about 250 kilometres (155) miles northwest of the capital, residents were not allowed to watch the 10.00 pm (1900 GMT) World Cup match because of a curfew.
Information Minister Mohamed Abdi Hayir said anybody who violates the curfew -- which runs from 9:00 PM (1800 GMT) to 5:00 am (0200 GMT), shall be sentenced to one to three months in jail with a fine of between 1,500,000 Somali shillings (1,080 dollars) and 3,000,000 shillings (2,160 dollars).

It's funny, most Muslims are compliant to their fundamentalist rulers, but as soon as they take away their beloved football - that completely crosses the line

Islam is the Anti-Christ religion. It's pure evil, right down to the Sufis. Especially the Sufis

How do you stop two Muslims from raping a white chick?
Kick them a soccer ball.

the problem that spawns such bloody and insane actions is not Islam, it is religous fanacticism. this can be found in any religion given the proper circumstances.

America needs to fund Islamic Schools all over the world and make sure it preaches a moderate Islam.
I mean don't get me wrong, I love war but war should be fought not only with guns but also with knowledge.

-------------------- You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

Yeah, those pesky Zen Monks that keep going out and beheading women that show their ankles in public. 
Don't get me wrong, I understand what you are saying: religion gives people an excuse to murder other people in the name of faith. However, some religions are much more difficult to twist into hate than others. Christianity seems to be in the middle somewhere. There are a lot of nuts that murder in the name of Jesus... kill the abortion doctor, burn the witch, etc. Unfortunately for Islam, it is much closer to the edge of hate than any other religion that I can think of. We can call Islam a religion of peace all we want, but we know the truth... Islam may be a religion of peace, but it is trivial to turn it into a religion of hate.

Ah-Men! Praise *insert various god here*!
Within any religion, there are the followers that follow in order to gain hope; and of course there are the extremeists. Christianity has the same type of following, as you can see in the link posted above the soccer story, as well as the soccer story. Extremeists are the ones who truly make this a horrible and evil world. They are so stuck in one mindset and wont move an inch(or a cm depending on where in the world you are) about any issue. This causes the turmoil and murder we see everyday on our news headlines. If religion could be completely abolished, or everybody adopted an acceptance of others' opinions, we wouldnt have a conflict nearly as heated as it is today!
Though these islamic extremeists seem crazy to my fellow americans, what we need to understand is that we have christian extremeists that are holding offices and assisting in making laws that violate constituional rights in order to more closely follow religious text!!! The only difference between our government and theirs, is the fact that they are in ABSOLUTE power. Just remember that Hitler was popularly elected, and i dont think everybody who voted for the nazi party was voting for a death ticket.
