Somalia: Islamic militia attacks studio

Sharia Alert from Somalia. From The Scotsman, with thanks to Sr. Soph:

ISLAMIC militiamen stormed a video studio in Mogadishu where Bollywood films were being dubbed into Somali, destroying equipment and arresting employees.

The gunmen, loyal to the Union of the Islamic Courts, smashed television monitors and escorted six members of staff from the studios in the Somali capital.

The courts consider watching films, listening to music and dancing un-Islamic.

... destroying equipment and arresting employees. ...The courts consider watching films, listening to music and dancing un-Islamic.

Yeah, well everyone knows that the violence in today's world is all due to violence on television and the movies. Wait a minute ... these guys didn't get their impetus to violence from watching reruns of "Itchy and Scratchy" they got it from that so-called Holy and sometimes ironically named Nobel Koran thing!! You know, that Islamic fetish object that they can't stand to have mishandled? Yeah, that one. I think that thing might be the most dangerous thing on the planet in fact.

Somehow a sharia alert for Somalia seems insufficient or perhaps redundant - not sure what term best describes that place. Does anyone give a damn about the place other than it may ship jihadis to neighbouring countries. An ideal solution would be to seal the borders and let them stew. I know, very politically incorrect but so what.

Western is very fair with Somalia, none is there, I doubt sometimes that in this country they´re pure humans. But they´re.

Great. Now six staff members get to be unemployed like most Somalians. Astounding how these islamist idiots insist on destroying livelihoods.

What's the matter,? Didn't get the lead in Saturday Night Jihad?

As the disco ball twinkles and spins...

...Qaboos bin Ahmed bin Saled Al-Fulani gingerly steps to the stage, hips twitching, sequined Kameez trailing gracefully behind.

"Kaboose" as he, er she is affectionally known dramatically plucks the mike out of the stand, pauses for affect, reaches an immaculately manicured hand out beeseechingly to the gaping audience ala Striesand, leans back and belts out:

"What's it all about, Allaaah?"
