Somalia Town Threatens to Behead People Who Don't Pray 5 Times Daily

The man's name is Sheikh Rage. You just can't make this stuff up. From AP, with thanks to all who sent this in:

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

Shops, tea houses and other public places 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. His court is part of a network backed by armed militiamen that has taken control of much of southern Somalia in recent months, bringing a strict interpretation of Islam that is alien to many Somalis.

Those who do not follow the prayer edict after three days have elapsed, "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 the edict, which covered only Bulo Burto, was being announced over loudspeakers throughout the town.

What kind of Flimsy Foundation does a Religion like Islam have ? obviously a very Flimsey one, where it will Kill anyone who denounces or resists it , and would actually Cut the heads off of MUSLIMS who don't dilligently Pray 5 times a day.

Islam is weak and can only retain it's strength through violence and Intimidation.

If it was truly such a great Religion it would not have to Force people into it , or kill them .

If it was truly peaceful and as great as they tell us while sawing off our heads , then People would flock to it.

I wonder why people are afraid of Islam?

Could it be that it is morally corrupt and has no real Legitimacy and foundation?

Kinda like it's Founder ?

No compulsion in religion, huh? Islam branded itself at the start as a cult and didn't even realize it.

These people should pray. Pray that the West finally summons the will to destroy this menace once and for all.

"What kind of Flimsy Foundation does a Religion like Islam have ? obviously a very Flimsey one, where it will Kill anyone who denounces or resists it , and would actually Cut the heads off of MUSLIMS who don't dilligently Pray 5 times a day."

Is this edict only regarding Muslims, or does it apply to EVERYONE? Yes, RAGE told the AP "As Muslims we should practice Islam fully, not in part, and that is what our religion enjoins us to do;" however, it says that "residents" of this town are subjected to it, not just "Muslim residents." It seems to me that this is a "no-compunction-to-Islam" story too, not just a "nutty, radical edict imposed upon Muslims" story.

The apologists say that the ‘jihadis’ constitute 10 or 15% of the Muslim population.

18 to 40 year old males constitute about 12% of the population.

Unbelievable but true. I personally know some Muslims who would entirely agree with this. No joke.

Posted by: chinubhai86 [TypeKey Profile Page] at December 6, 2006 3:46 PM

Sorry, OT. A follow-up to the end of the most recent Lebanese-Israeli battle. Remember the two captured Israeli soldiers? Olmert claims they are possibly dead.

But what I want to comment on is at the end of the article:

In the war triggered by the capture of the soldiers, more than 1,000 people were killed on both sides, according to the U.N. and Israeli and Lebanese officials. Lebanon says most of those killed were civilians. Israel claims 800 Hezbollah fighters were killed, though that figure was not substantiated. On the Israeli side, 159 people were killed, including 39 soldiers.

Alot of numbers there, but not much clarity about what happened, other than "people were killed on both sides".

Let's do some quick math. 1000 people killed total, 159 were Israeli. So, that leaves 841 Lebanese. 800 of the 841 Lebanese killed were Hezbollah fighters, which means 95% accuracy, or 5% collatoral damage.

On the other side, of the 159 Israelis killed, 39 were soldiers, meaning 25% accuracy or 75% collatoral damage.

The Lebanese killed 75% civilians, the Israelis 5%, and Israel was the one being criticized for (cough cough) targeting civilians.

Why is it unbelievable? They are simply following the teachings of Muhammad, the perfect man to be emulated for all time.

The AP story doesn't say so, but I'll bet my lunch money that the original edict is replete with Qur'anic quotations to justify it. Sheik Rage (heh) doesn't come up with this stuff on his own; he is only doing what Allah demands of all Muslims.

I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Revelation 20:3-5

Any questions?

For this guy, how would 'Rage' be pronounced? I'm guessing 'Ra-gay'.

if these mo-foes were real true believers they'd follow Mohammed's example to the letter and wouldn't behead people who are lax in prayer! Mohammed burned such lax prayers live in their homes Muslims who behead are greatly misled here. They should burn down the houses of the non-prayers instead:

"I wish to appoint someone to lead the prayer and myself go to the houses of those who missed the Friday prayer and set fire to their houses with the occupants in them."
Mohammed - hadith(Muslim)

Hey, ten percent, huh? That is still 130,000,000 (one hundred and thirty million) killers, car bombers, kidnappers, rapists, snipers, congressmen, liars, and subversives. Plenty enough to make an infidel's life more than miserable.

"For this guy, how would 'Rage' be pronounced? I'm guessing 'Ra-gay'."

I think 'reij' is befitting someone who wishes to inflict his intolerant religion upon all of humanity. Also, RAGE is the natural state of every proper Islamist. Those who properly obey allah's will will be in a constant state of rage and fury.

Posted by: bigcatgirl13106 [TypeKey Profile Page] at December 6, 2006 6:03 PM

Yes, pray or be beheaded! I wonder if a similar edict would get church attendance up? Attend church or be beheaded! (That was a sarcastic remark NOT to be taken literally.)

Keeping in line with the sarcasm, what is that in the Qu'ran about "..no compulsion in religion?"

Those who do not follow the prayer edict after three days have elapsed, "will definitely be beheaded according to Islamic law,"

What Islamic law? Which Hadith? Which chapter and verse of the Qu'ran? I would be interested to know.

I just am dumb-founded. No other religion, at the current time, issues forth such barbaric and inhumane practices. Religion of peace is a complete fallacy.

Posted by: Monkeywho [TypeKey Profile Page] at December 6, 2006 6:20 PM

This would be hilarious if it weren't so serious.

It seems that muslims are always looking for a fight. Once they've cleared an area of infidels they turn on each other.

It's almost like the Highlander: not only do they have a prediliction for decapitation, but in the end there can be only one!

Posted by: senatortombstone [TypeKey Profile Page] at December 6, 2006 6:25 PM

"It seems that muslims are always looking for a fight. Once they've cleared an area of infidels they turn on each other."

QFT (quoted for truth)

I mean even before the Cursed Infidel was in their Lands Iran and Iraq were trying ti kill each other , for one example. like was said , once they have no outside enemies they turn on each other. It's like the Snake eating it's own tale.

And how can Muslims believe that the Perfect model for human Behaviour is to Kill?

Of course it's a retorical question. we know how and why they think that , but is there not s shred of Pure Human compassion left in these people to see the Irony that Killing will gain favor in the eyes of the allmighty? or has Islam actually been able to conquer the Human spirit completely? if it has then we know what we have to so.

I'd say it has.

Will the crazies gather all the people in a central location five times a day to be certain all are praying? Or will they station a goon in every house to ensure compliance? These idiots are out Talibanning even the Taliban for sheer madness.

Well, if that happens, then who'll make sure that the goons who are suppposed to "ensure compliance" are making sure that THEY comply? AND, even if they install video equipment everywhere to ensure compliance, then it will mean that the folks monitoring everyone AREN'T COMPLYING!

Any way you look at it, for them to make sure that "everyone" is complying to this stupid edict, it means that at least SOMEBODY ISN'T COMPLYING! It's enough to make your head explode!

And the other 85 or 90% appear unable to stop them.

Is this Islam's fault or Islam's failure or Islam's function? Can't see any other explanation.

Excuse me for being unsensitive here,but i really hope they will enforce this law and start the beheadings...the more the better.
I prefer them beheading their own rather than turning their beheading-attention towards infidels.

Islam what a religion!!

There have been instances where Muslims have invaded mosques and killed other Muslims while they were praying.

THis is a religion that will kill you for not praying, but will also kill you if you do pray.

Just recently in Iraq Muslims were killed by Muslims as they left the mosque after praying.

In Islam just how do you safely pray and just what do you pray for.

If you decide to leave the religion you will be killed.

Islam what a religion!!

Posted by: exsgtbrown [TypeKey Profile Page] at December 7, 2006 6:29 AM

I want to know what CAIR, Espito, and all the apologists are saying about all these developments.

'Those who do not follow the prayer edict after three days have elapsed, "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."
'

I is somebody telling me that they are misinterpreting islam and the koran? Thank God for all these who are giving us the main interpretation of islam. We check in the koran and see that what they are saying is true. They are really doing what the koran says. These are the fruits of islam. Let everybody know that if we lose our freedom as CAIR and Ellison and co are trying to use our own constitution to achieve, what we see in Somalia is what we will see here in America. We have laws because freedom has limits. Someone that wants to manipulate the provision of your freedom so as to impose his own law on you doesnt deserve your freedom.

Posted by: Nwachinemere [TypeKey Profile Page] at December 7, 2006 8:49 AM

Nwachinemere:

If Ellison is allowed to take an oath on the Koran, the very fabric of America is irreversibly broken. The muslims will have won the most important first skirmish.

Revelations
Chapter 20

20:4 I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. I saw the souls of those who had been BEHEADED for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and such as didn't worship the beast nor his image, and didn't receive the mark on their forehead and on their hand. They lived, and reigned with Christ for the thousand years.

According to prophecy some anti-Christ organisation will behead Christians during the end times, also have done in history. In the modern world of guns and technology who still uses swords and likes cutting Christian heads off?
