'Dismantling Western Practices'

Never mind that Islamic countries like Saudi Arabia and Iran just played in the soccer World Cup; in Somalia, the Muslim authorities know the true nature of Allah, and — who knew? — He is against guys kicking a ball around:

Islamist militia in the Somali capital Mogadishu have broken up a crowd who were protesting against a ban on watching the World Cup. A crowd of about 300 protesters tore down telephone wires and hurled stones in protest at the ban before militiamen dispersed the mob by firing shots into the air. The Islamic Courts Union which controls the capital said it was enforcing the ban in keeping with its policy of dismantling western practices.

One small step.

As soon as they ban the disgusting and un-Islamic Western practices of
medicine, we'll get a two-fer: an end to the world's population problem, and real progress against jihadi terrorists, on account of most of them will never see the age of three...

Ha!! Good point Martin. I also see this as a good thing though. Piss off enough soccer fans and they will rip shit down. Let's hope it pisses them off enough.

I seem to recall the Iraqi Soccer team failing at a World Cup so Uday Hussien had them tied to beds and had their feet whipped with rattan canes. So, soccer, tennis (can't wear those feelthy Western shorts), and any sport that the West likes basically are un-Islamic. As they have to bow and pray FIVE times a day I suggest that apple dunking is the only true sport they will excell in!
