Just another day with the Religion of Intolerance. You’d think they were liberals or something
Somali radio stations stopped playing music on Tuesday after hardline militants called it un-Islamic and ordered stations to take songs off the air.
The edict is the latest unpopular order from Islamists, who also have banned bras, musical ringtones and movies. The order to stop the music echoes the Taliban’s strict social rules imposed on Afghans beginning in the late 1990s.
Somalia has a tradition of music and most residents greeted the ban with dismay. Rock, rap and love songs from the U.S., Europe and Africa could be heard on Somali stations before the ban.
Fun people, eh? Except, if you fail to follow their edicts, they’ll, if you are lucky only kill you.
Any station that defies the order could face severe punishments. The Islamists frequently assassinate those who defy them or carry out punishments like amputations. Abdulahi Yasin Jama at Tusmo broadcasting said that stations have no choice but to comply.
But don’t say they are dangerous or violent or anything. They might kill you.
another thing to add to the list of things muslims hate more than life.
You betcha. They are not very fun people.
Islam, the religion of boredom.
