Somali Islamists flog over 100 for watching movies


Wednesday, November 22, 2006

MOGADISHU, Somalia (AFP) - Religious police Tuesday raided cinema halls in a southern Somalia town and arrested and flogged more than 100 people for watching banned films, officials and witnesses said.

Heavily armed Islamic fighters stormed four halls in Merka, about 100 kilometers (63 miles) south of the capital, and arrested the civilians who were watching an Indian movie.

They were marched to a nearby police station, where each was given five lashes, warned, then released.

"We raided four cinema halls and arrested more than 100 people who were watching films. They were flogged, five each, and then released," Nuriye Ali Farah, an Islamic commander in Merka, said.

Witnesses said that the Islamists surrounded the packed halls before storming in and switching of equipment.

"I was about to enter one of the cinema halls when heavily armed militias surrounded the area. Fortunately I survived, but others were taken to a police station," said Merka resident Hassan Nurow.

A ban on movie-watching is one of many indications that Somalia's powerful Islamist movement, which is now at odds with the weak government, is intent on imposing a fundamentalist version of Koranic law in its territory.

The Islamists, who seized Mogadishu in June and now control most of southern and central Somalia, have enacted Sharia in varying degrees but have banned live music and shuttered cinema halls and photo shops in most areas.

They have also presided over the public executions of convicted murderers as well as numerous floggings, mainly for drug offenses, and they hassle women who they accuse of dressing indecently.

Elements of the movement are accused of links with Al Qaeda and their rise has fueled fears of a takeover similar to that of the Taliban in Afghanistan who harbored Osama Bin Laden and his terrorist network.

The Islamists deny those charges, saying that imposition of Sharia is one of the ways of restoring land and order in the lawless nation, which has lacked an effective government since dictator Mohamed Siad Barre was toppled in 1991.

Traitor your true colours are becoming visible by the day!

[AbdiWahab252]

Smooth, Plz identify which Hawiye Clan u from ?

How can I a Sacad Siciid man be a traitor to a tribe of which I am not a member

[Steeler [Crawler2]]

Are the Somali people going to just put up with this bullshit?

Everyone in Somalia is armed. Why don't they resist this tyranny?

[AbdiWahab252]

Mad... they will. In any classic insurgency, you first need to get the goodwill of the public before doing anything. The critical mass has not been acheived yet but once it does, it will be a guerilla war.

I even heard they used hardly sharpened razor blade which they shaved them bald all these 100 people in the prison.

[Nolol cusub]

Abdiwahab,


Your new business of "I am Sacad Siciid" and "I hate Hawiye" is counter productive. Be more specific.



What to do instead?


Rationally define the enemy of Mudug people then line up everyone according to temp foe/long term enemy; inherent or driven by a converging interest.


First, what is the interest of Mudug people?


AAYA KA TASHIGA DADKA MUDUG



Second, Who or what has helped/helps Mudug people reach that goal?


Third, what/who makes or has made the attainment of that goal very difficult?




SCAPE-GAOTING


What have successive generations of Sacads done in assissting themselves move in the right direction: MUDUG SELF-DEPENDENCE?


Generation after generation of Mudug people have allowed Sacad leadership to squander the energy of Mudug people in far away lands while ignoring immediate political, social and cultural needs of Mudug people.



Abdiwahab,


The QALBI WEYNE generation of Sacad leardership is history. They have served their pupose of being a lesson to coming generations: FIRST ATTEND YOU HOME BUSINESS.


The survivors of this generation need to be poisoned. And if need be their loyal supporters




Nolol cusub


.

[AbdiWahab252]

Nolol: U are harsh I am only a reluctant soldier in the Sacad cause and when the threat ends I will go back to the redevelopment of the Sacad homeland. When in time of war, you need a warlord. In peace time, you jail that warlord.

The punishment these ppl got was for their own good. I mean these ppl were watching an Indian movie for gods sake.

[Steeler [Crawler2]]

Islam - enemy of the Somali people.

Gatsby - Are you a moron? They should be whipped for watching a movie? WTF over?

[Qaarxiye]

a hindi movie??......................god I hate that crap, they deserve to be whipped!!

[X.Playa]

Thats nothing , wait till they stone people to death, you aint seen shit yet. This Shariica business is very dangrous, somalis are getting themselves in strange territory.

The only ever stonning in Somali history took place in 1993 in Hargaysa when 3 sick Wadaad frothing from their mouth grabbed 4 women and stonned them to death , one was desprate she literaly flanged her self from the hole they dug for here, the poor woman was again put into the hole and was finished off.. it was so horrible the SNM goverment then under the secular Abdirahman Tuur ordered for the arrest of the Wadaado, all of them fled the cowards, and ironically the goverment of Ethopia arrested the ring leader, they dug a hole and thorugh him there for years till he was rotten and began to eat his companion, there he met his death.. a poetic justice.

Xplaya, the whole extremism of Somalis originated from Bur'o. The founders of Al-Itixaad are all from there.

[X.Playa]

becase Burco is the hub of the Hawd every Jaahil comes there from the dusty Hawd selling his camels in the Somali National Livestock market, if Burco closes that market they will be better off.. who knows who might show up next time selling a she-goat ..the one eye Mullah Omar.!!
