Cross your heart, hope to die!

There was an attempt a couple of years ago to introduce Sharia Law here in Ontario and I am happy to say that it was soundly defeated and hopefully that is the end of it.

I say hopefully because people with religious motives never give up, and as long as they are around we must be ever vigilante that they don't pull a fast one!

We got this news from the Fox network that gives a good example of how things are in other countries when the fanatics get a bit of power!

Somalia’s hard line Islamist group al Shabaab is cracking down on residents who do not follow a strict form of Sharia Islamic law, now publicly whipping women who wear bras, the Times of India reported.

Residents tell the paper that gunmen have been gathering women in Mogadishu who are perceived to have firm busts. These women are then publicly whipped by masked men as punishment for what Islamist leaders call deception.

(Now here comes the weird part kids!)

After the public whippings, the women are forced to remove their bras and shake their breasts, the Times reported.

“Al Shabaab forced us to wear their type of veil and now they order us to shake our breasts,” a resident, Halima, told the Times of India. Her daughters were whipped for wearing bras.

“They first banned the former veil and introduced a hard fabric which stands stiffly on women’s chests. They are now saying that breasts should be firm naturally, or just flat,” she said.

The insurgent group recently amputated a foot and a hand from two young men accused of robbery. Al Shabaab has also banned movies, musical ring tones, dancing at wedding ceremonies and playing or watching soccer.

Doesn't that sound like a lot of fun?

Seems it would be almost as interesting as being alive during the Inquisition!
