Sharia Alert. By Mohamed Sheikh Nor, from AP:
MOGADISHU, Somalia - An Islamic court has banned women from swimming at the main beach in Somalia's capital, the latest step to impose strict religious rule that has sparked fears of an emerging, Taliban-style regime.
Sheikh Farah Ali Hussein, chair of a northern Mogadishu Islamic court, said Friday that the ban applies only to the northern Mogadishu Leedo beach, where families usually go on weekends to play and relax.
"We stopped women from swimming because it is against the teaching of Islam for women to mingle with men, especially while they are swimming," Hussein said.
Since sweeping to power over much of southern Somalia in June, the Islamists have banned movie viewing, publicly lashed drug users and broke up a wedding celebration because a band was playing and women and men were socializing together. They also have introduced public executions.
Somali women usually swim fully clothed as swimsuits are generally frowned upon. Somali men, however, swim in trunks, at times bare-chested or wearing vests.
"They cannot prevent us from our right to swim in the sea. What is wrong with us enjoying ourselves like men? That is clear discrimination," Miriam Isse told The Associated Press as she watched others swimming in the Indian Ocean.

Nothing like a day at the beach in sharialand. So much fun wearing several layers of clothes and whatnot. It IS nice to see how well protected women are in such a paradise-what woman wouldn't want to live there?
I wait for the day one of these basket case places finally bans women totally from the country, claiming they distract the men from such noble activities as praying to Allah and going for jihad. I'm almost amazed this hasn't happened yet.

I see the words in bold- "Somali women usually swim fully clothed" which reminds me of something I read a year ago about "muslim sister swim" where in Seattle and Omaha it was passed for muslim women to have their own time to swim in a public pool because they couldn't wear bathing suits. Now, in Somalia women are banned from swimming altogether? Here we are in the 21st century and I pity these women.

A story like this is enough to make one think of writing a book: "Humans are from Earth, Islamaniacs are from Planet X". These Islamaniacs sure seem like they come from another world.

Why would anyone in his right mind ban women at the beach?! They must be gay in Somalia...

Old Dude,
E-e-e-u-w-w-w!
But seriously folks, this has nothing to do with whether they are showing some skin or not. This is all about clamping down and controlling those who live in Islamland. And making sure everyone is miserable, nobody has a good time and setting up a precedent with which to punish and abuse people in the future. I think the Muslims really get their rocks off stoning people, cutting off limbs, raping women, dragging bodies behind trucks after they've burned them beyond recognition and hanging them up on bridges and freeway overpasses. And if they don't make up laws that give them a steady stream of helpless victims with no rights under the law, they wouldn't be able to do the cruel physical stuff that really gives them their jollies.
I read that Hitler had submitted to a bizarre satanic sexual initiation that left him so mentally and emotionally disturbed that the only way he could have an orgasm was if he killed or tortured somebody. Weird, yeah I know. But it would explain a few things. Maybe the same thing goes for our Muslim friends, because I can't for the life of me understand how they have no compassion for the people whose lives they destroy.

Well Miriam, ISLAM is wrong.
When will you guys realize it is mankind's worst enemy?
When will you begin to fight against it, instead of blaming everyone and everything else?

They were more progressive in Somalia, until now, than in Australia. A few years ago, we were at a waterslides park on a very hot day (37C, 99F). A Muslim group were there. The boys and men were dressed in bathers, and enjoying the cooling waters. The girls and women, dressed in thick, head-to-toe black drapery, spent the day trying to keep cool under a tree. They looked miserable, barely speaking the whole time. I don't know why the women even bothered to go. Although I suppose the males would have had a problem getting their own dry towels, food and drink by themselves, that's maybe why.

I have thought about this also. I am not sure that it is sexual, as you saw the same degree of pious enthusiasm and celebration during the execution of heretics, witches etc by the christian church.
I think that it is a celebration of their civilisation and that they are seeing God's will and his law in action. The fact that some poor bastard is suffering does not matter in their scheme of things as like pre 19th century christian countries violence was and is an everyday part of life.
It is only now where we have dragged ourselves out of the violent wilderness and have become unaccustomed to such violence that it repels and disgusts us. Before then it was entertainment and there is no better such than watching someone pass through the gates and especialy so if it is prolonged(not my personal opinion).
In fact that is where the concept of saturday matinees came from(Tyburn hangings)
Also in stonings there is the participation factor and like the dervishes did, it is not hard to see them working themselves up into a state where they are eager to act out God's will.
I have watched several stning videos and the enthusiasm of the crowd is obvious asa they see themselves as special as they are doing god's work.
You must try to look at them from the POV of their religion which espouses violence often and always. It is a ubiquitous part of Islam and even in western countries they still do it by slaughtering their sheep (in the same brutal and time dishonoured manner) in the bathtub. That is why doing the same to a human is not so hard.
They are dark age arab barbarians who have NO desire to cultivate altruism and the love of yr fellow man and especially so if he is nonMuslim.
Withour seeming difficult I would like to see the evidence about Hitler myself before I comment upon it but it is quite surprising to me as he was essentially impotent according to most sources. His problem with women was that he was only attarcted to young naive ones who saw him as a god and that there is no evidence of sexuual contact with them(including his niece who suicided...supposedly so but probably correct) But he usually drove them away or to insanity by his relentless need to control each one. The only one who accepted thsi totally was Eva Braun.
Also, inurred to war he had no real desire to watch punishments although he did gloat over the execution of the conspirators which he watched by film. But that was because they really scared the daylights out of him and it was simple revenge. Like Himmler who nearly fainted when some murdered jew's brains splattered his face and clothing, Hitler seemed to only be ruthless at a distance. This is quite unlike yr average Muslim who gets his hands dirty quite soon after puberty ( kills the sheep for ramadan).

Most beaches have signs that say WATCH FOR SHARKS, NOT SHALLOW, NO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES or whatever. islamic beaches' signs say, NO MINGLING ALLOWED.
It's hard to believe that in this day and age, stupidity runs rampant.

freewoman you are far too kind to them..I would go alot further.
However, interesting point: the disease polio(myelitis) should have been eradicated some time ago but is not and why?
Because some Muslims spread the rumour that the immunisation makes you impotent or sterile or close. So a great many Muslims, especially in northern Nigeria refused to have it and thus it is back on the agenda in ALL Muslim countries. After every Haji it is brought bvack to Indonesia and all else and epidemics break out.
It serves them right and I would not give ONE cent for this. But the bleeding hearts who run our foreign policies and our universities will no doubt waste another 500 million $ on these useless parasites who have no right at all to live in the 21st century.
All our medicine has done is to enable more of the children to survive into adulthood so that there are more to attack us and more and more and more. The Muslim who attacked the obstetrician who delivered his child should be shot on the spot as should any violent Muslim.
These people do not DESERVE to live in the 21st century which is why they are trying to take it.

Today, women are banned from the beach. Tomorrow, women and girls will be banned going to school or work outside the home.
I hope people who read Jihad Watch and Dhimmi Watch inform human rights groups and feminist organizations about the terror being unleashed in Somalia. Right now, organizations in the Western World are probably the only ones that can speak out on behalf of the Somali people and especially Somali women.

I think the Muslims really get their rocks off stoning people
You know I shouldn't laugh, but that is the funniest thing I have read on these pages in a long time.
at October 21, 2006 3:23 PM
MisIslamist, or anyone else, could you please supply a reference or a link to the obstetrician who was attacked? I have googled for it, but can't come up with anything. Thanks, ShakeyP

Why is this an issue, the somalis made their choice in 1993, let them live with it. We need too simply observe and show the working model of sharia every time muslims elsewhere ask us or demand for us to implement it. Here is a clue for those of you who missed our first (actually second but who is counting) adventure in the 1990’s. All somali are muslims, all of them, it doesn’t matter what they call their rulers. It doesn’t matter who is in charge or how they treat their women, welcome to islam.

Shakey_premise below is one post where I saw it but strangely no url...I thought that there was as when I went to the site it was in french (funny thing that :)) and I gave up decphering after 5 mins so I still never read it in the original.
Two events on radio in France this morning.
1. A Muslim hit a male Gynaecologist who had just got his wife through a difficult birth, because he was male of course.
2. At Charles de Gaulle airport after what seems like much discussion we have a ban on Muslims from certain secure areas. We then had a Muslim declaring that this was discrimination against a religion (yep and about time too) and then saying at his Mosque he was taught not to carry out crimes (the normal bullshit that we do not believe.)
They also mentioned these arrests, but did not say too much.
Finally on TF1 20:000 news, Sarkozy was again blaming the magistrates for being soft.
No mention at all in the MSM in France about the debacle of a decision won by France 2.
It seems that the squeeze is being put on the Muslim population across Europe, in other words chose where you loyalties lie..., plenty of scope for Muslim lying but, at least it is a start.

They also shot to death several Somali youngsters who refused to stop watching on TV the ill-fated [for our side] football match between Germany and Italy this World Cup.
