Somalia official issues beheading threat ...

[Wisdom_Seeker]

MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) - Residents of a southern Somalia town who do not pray five times a day will be beheaded, an Islamic courts official said Wednesday, adding the edict will be implemented in three days.

 

Public places such as shops and tea houses 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.

 

Those who do not follow this edict "will definitely be beheaded according to Islamic law," Rage told The Associated Press by phone. "As Muslims, we should practice Islam fully, not in part, and that is what our religion enjoins us to do."

 

He said that the courts are announcing the edict over loudspeakers in the town.

 

The decision is not binding on courts in other towns.

 

Somalia's Islamic courts have made varying interpretations of Quranic law, some applying a more strict and radical version of Islamic law than others.

 

As a result of such disparate variations, residents in the capital of Mogadishu complained, forcing the Council of Islamic Courts officials in October to set up an appeals court with better-educated judges.

 

 

The Council of Islamic Courts have swept through most of southern Somalia since taking over Mogadishu in June.

 

Their sometimes strict and often severe interpretation of Islam has raised the specter of Afghanistan's ousted Taliban regime, and contrasts with the moderate Islam that has dominated Somali culture for centuries.

 

Some of the courts have introduced public executions, floggings of convicts, bans on women swimming at Mogadishu's public beaches, and the sale and chewing of khat, a leafy stimulant consumed across the Horn of Africa and in the Middle East.

==============================================

 

I was listen to the bbcsomali, and the only thing they said the sheik said was that "Public places such as shops and tea houses 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."

 

Nothing about beheading, but it seems like the western media is stating something else such as the "Those who do not follow this edict "will definitely be beheaded according to Islamic law,"

 

So who is telling the truth, did the sheik said he will behead people who don't pray, because that is not islamic

It does not matter whether the general is coming or not. The US with all its might and support from a coalition of chickens has been humbled in both Iraq and Afghanistan by a far less-numbered and weaker Islamist foe, and bound for humiliated exit. How does the general compare to the US and its might? Will Somalia's Chalabi or Karzai factor? Very doubtful.

[Naxar Nugaaleed]

come ooooon, we all know that those mujahids and those moryaans opposing the government are not the same. Weaker kulaha, what have you been smoking? Those moryans running around with khamisyo and cimamadyada will run the first chance they get. But how bout we just wait and see instaed of throwing around empty words.?

[Fiqikhayre]

Don't worry Taliban, you just gear yourself up for the upcoming Jihad. You might be needed as one of the suicide bombers!

 

Now don't hold your breath boy! Relax, I heard it won't hurt and paradise will be yours.

 

Which waist coat do you actually prefer? It's all yours to decide:

 

Istaqfirullaah!

Taliban ignore naxar.

 

Anyways, is this story accurate or not. I doubt it is but, the sheiks should refute this news if it is indeed a lie.

Certainly, this story is not accurate. Will it help if the sheikhs refute this news? It's not like the world is willing to listen to them for they have already been condemned, indicted and demonized. This is not the first kind of this news nor the last, expect more in coming months.

You should be ashamed for mocking the Palestinians who have no alternative but to defend themselves with whatever they can.

 

Your lack of knowledge has blinded you.

 

Who ever blew-up the cars are in baidoi, laughing at how easy it is to fool people such as you.

It will sure help the Somalis who live aboard. We can't let the American propaganda deceive us. That is how they divide and manipulate the people, which will eventually make them turn against each other.
