Or, in the immortal words* of Tasnim Aslam – “Anyone who describes Islam as a religion as intolerant encourages violence“.
A hardline Islamist group in Somalia has begun publicly whipping women for wearing bras that they claim violate Islam as they are ‘deceptive’.
The insurgent group Al Shabaab has sent gunmen into the streets of Mogadishu to round up any women who appear to have a firm bust, residents claimed yesterday.
The women are then inspected to see if the firmness is natural, or if it is the result of wearing a bra. If they are found wearing a bra, they are ordered to remove it and shake their breasts, residents said…
‘Al Shabaab forced us to wear their type of full veil and now they order us to shake our breasts,’ a resident, Halima, told Reuters, adding that her daughters had been whipped on Thursday.
‘They are now saying that breasts should be firm naturally, or just flat.’
Sometimes you just can’t say anything!
Why is it when I read that piece, I had Motley Crue’s “Girls, Girls, Girls” playing in my head???
Are the Somalian Burqas see through?
Now you are beginning to understand ROP: it can be used to justify about anything.
So who gets to do the whipping, and is it in public? These “men” are pathetic. They really need to go back to the caves. I wonder if they wear leather as they practice their fantasy sex games. Cheers.
Hootermania in Somalia?? I would have never dreamed of that!!
These whackos need to go to a stripper bar to get their jollies.
I can hardly wait for “Girls Gone Wild, Mogadishu Edition”!
This stuff just writes itself.
How do you negotiate with people like this? Taliban Jack and Obama both believe that they can sit down and negotiate with these neanderthals; some how by talking to these radicals they will convince them to change their ways and treat women as human beings rather than property. Well, good luck, Jack and Barack, you’re going to need it.
Say, I wonder if there’s a market for whale dick leather in Somalia?
Trent said: “How do you negotiate with people like this?”
That’s dead easy, Trent. You issue every single chick in town a .38 snubbie and 200 rounds. The hardliner Islamist survivors will be very happy to negotiate their surrender. Just say you’ll keep the women away from them, and they’ll probably kiss your feet.
Awaiting Judy Rebick’s response with interest
Banning the Bran – listen for the feminists’ cheering and congratulating their burka clad sisters on their freedom from oppressive clothing.

Mohammed Atta did, and …
“• 1. In Venice Florida, Mohamed Atta lived for two months with an American stripper/lingerie model named Amanda Keller.
• 2. Atta loved to party. He was out with Keller nearly every night they were together. He was a heavy drinker, snorted coke, was a stylish dresser and wore expensive jewelry.
• 3. According to Keller, Atta loved pork chops.”

Looks like a religiously sanctioned peep show.
Boobs banning boobs,brilliant!
I’m just speechless. There is no negotiating with these luddites. They only understand and respect violence.
Okay, is everyone convinced Islamic morality and modesty are big fat lies?
Do I have to join the ROP to get in on the action?
Hey, and no doubt they’re checking out the younger, more nubile babes pretty regularly. The old has-beens… not so much!
hmmm….I wonder if we could get Nancy Pelosi to try that ?
ugh….what the hell was I thinking ?
I wonder, what is the gunmen’s view of codpieces?
Didn’t Meeeghan McCain twitter about this the other day?
It beats the fatwah where a Muffti ordered women to breast feed strange men because once they suckled on her boob these men would be like family. Can you image being ordered to breast feed grown men who are strangers, needless to say the ruling was over turned.

And yet people want to believe Islam is innocuous….
Now as a red-blooded Canuck male I often observe women and wonder about the jiggle/firmness factor, but I wouldn’t call it a religion. Actually, it more of a national pastime.And I certainly don’t stop and physically check out the evidence. That is just wrong on so many levels.
Exit question: How in the heck can you tell what is under a tent dress anyway?
gotta read between those line people !!!
you think latching onto or more precisely, getting forced into the ‘religion of peace’ by accident of birth gonna make all those YSMs ‘young single males’ ober dere all stern and morally superior?
not.
this is just an EXCUSE eh to cop a feel and do some S&M under the GUISE of sharia law. I kinda think the original mohamMAD would distance himself from this brazenness.
so clue in finally and see this for what it is. closer to a frat house prank than a religious tenant.
Hmmmmmmm, I guess it is better than the fate of the 7 women who went “swimming” this summer in eastern Ontario.
I am so happy that those cave men, ROP POS brought that crap to my neighborhood.
Oh, and this is the result of liberal/dipper/moonbat kumbaya, cut and run diplomacy……if my brother and his comrades in arms were given the resources back in the 90’s, none of this crap would be happening today.
A fellow I worked with some years ago spent a few years working in Africa. He described some of the prostitutes that came in from the untamed world, to work in the city, as having roll-em-up titties. They’d take their sagging flat breasts, and roll them up, then stuff them into a bra. I’m certainly not against having that practise done away with.
How long until “Whipping” becomes a multicultural given?
These guys are lacking in imagination. Al Qeida supposedly got run out of one province in Iraq when they tried to enforce this bit of brilliance: Shopkeepers, market operators, and female customers were forbidden to engage in a certain transaction without the woman’s husband being present and assenting. The forbidden items were cucumbers, large English variety type cucumbers.
As to the “shakedown” action, a cynic might suggest either the “bra clans” or the bra sellers had not been enthusiastic enough in their financial support of the holy terrorists and a message was being sent.
curious_george – what you state underlies the issue.
How does one separate tribal practises and arcane interpretations of the Koran, from a “nice” Islam?
With the Roman Catholic church, you can go to the pope as “the authority” – as he represents Catholics (well, it’s way more complicated than that, but I’m lazy tonight)
In Islam, there is not a centralized “command and control” centre as I understand it – so there are various interpretations of the Koran, and idiosyncratic pronouncements by imams
Jiggling breasts? Maybe it’s a problem in Islam. And maybe it depends on which country, location, or province you are. (One could argue that there are idiosyncratic pronouncements in different Christian religions as well.)
But hopefully in an ideal world we can all agree on what’s kooky.
curious_george – here is a question about divorce, asked from the United States on the always entertaining and informative website “askimam.org”:
I have a question and will be highly appreciative if u can guide me. I saw my wife’s chatting with some guy and in anger i holded Quran in my hand and said that while having Allah (swt) as witness u will be diveroced if u ever chat or talk with someone (even cousins), even on phone. My main intention was to frighten her so she doesnt do it again as it bothers me that my wife chats or talks with Namahrams. Then i thought about it, now i wanna take back my words, she has also apologized. If she does talk to someone would that mean that a divorce will take place automatically? I am also very sorry for my action out of anger. Please guide me in this matter. Thank you
Here is the answer:
It is highly irresponsible of you to utter statements of such magnitude in a state of anger. You should always be cognizant of the following āyah:
Not a word does he utter except there is a watcher by him ready (to record it) (Qur’ān 50:18)
If, by your statement, you meant that if your wife ever chats or talks to a non-mahram in the future, then you will divorce her at that time, then a divorce will not automatically take place if your wife does the act.
Always interesting . . .
Yeah, because this is all about modesty and not a way for piggish Islamic nutters to cop a feel under the threat of harsh punishment.
How come there is always cucumbers in the market but never any in the salad?
Should change their name to Al-Shaboob.
Just remember folks, all cultures and beliefs are equal.
You racist.
I’m from the FBI, show me your boobies.
> Hey, and no doubt they’re checking out the younger, more nubile babes pretty regularly. The old has-beens… not so much!
Well, as the girls don’t seem to have any say in what happens to them, I don’t doubt the old has-beens get their share too.
‘They are now saying that breasts should be firm naturally, or just flat.’
Hardline Islamists and radical feminists playing the same side of the field…, now there’s a curious conjunction wouldn’t you say?

My gawd!…Isn’t that a nightmare that belongs in Hollyweird.
“• 3. According to Keller, Atta loved pork chops.”
…-
“Atta, the leader of the September 11 group who piloted one of the four airplanes, was the son of a middle-class Egyptian family. It is staggering to think that, during the three last days before the attack, he spent his nights in bars with his accomplices. There is something mysterious and intriguing in this. Who asks about the souls of those men? Who were they and what were their motivations? What did Islam mean to them? What does it mean to kill oneself for that cause?”

Keep in mind, folks, that the Predator drone pilots in Afghanistan have recorded plenty of footage of shariah-loving jihadist so-called “men” fornicating with goats and sheep. Bestiality and little boys are fair game in the 7th century societies where Islam thrives in its most primitive forms, but women are creatures to be hidden away – so long as they don’t show any sign of being desirable. No telling how the jihadist perverts would react when face to face with a human female rather than a ewe.
And by the way, thank the Liberals for the infusion of the finer aspects of Somali culture into Canada.
I am still laughing over atric’s comments. Great one!
Seriously though folks you cannot expect them to buy a pig in a poke. You can always be assured of the quality when stamped by the religious police.
All joking aside you have to remember that women are simple chattel in this culture, often with a lower status than a camel.
Thanks Kate for sharing this. The only laugh I get nowadays is from your site.
And Tanker, you’re kidding, aren’t you?

looks like new done got itself a ‘new’ handle.
LOL !!!
There’s a bitter clinger joke in there somewhere.
So now there’s an Islamic Bra Police? The mind boggles.
curious_george said: “this is just an EXCUSE eh to cop a feel and do some S&M under the GUISE of sharia law”
That’s along the lines of what I was thinking too …
Well…its become quite obvious hasn’t it? The leftist feminists, I have to assume, hate this kind of thing happening to women of Islam – but…..
Should they ever decide that they need to rise-up against this horrific oppression against their “sisters” well…. that would mean they actually agree with what “right” thinking people have been saying all along.
Can’t have that now, can we? Isalmic women are the true sacraficial lambs of the left. Feminists are willing to sacrifice Islamic women for the greater good of defeating “conservatives”
Enjoy your wine, ladies!
Phoney bitches – all of them!
