Sleeping with a devil in Islamic clothing

The beautiful Somali women have been buried under layers of heavy cloth just like the Taliban, and the faithful have been told to shackle them at home. It is just a matter of time before the Islamists declare the Latin alphabet of the Somali language as Haram and change it with an Arabic alphabet in line with Urdu and Farsi. They have already started flogging people for petty crimes and threatened death penalty against those who do not observe the five-times daily prayers.

It will not surprise anyone if they soon threaten international organisations which hire Somali women for work just like Taliban did, and as the extremist clerics in the earthquake devastated Kashmir have recently done when they warned NGO agencies against hiring their women or face violence.

Above all, the Islamist Rulers of Mogadishu are liars.

After routing the warlords from Mogadishu they promised that they had no intention of capturing more land and causing any more bloodshed. They said they wanted to consolidate peace in the capital and start negotiating with the TFG government, but since then they have become so belligerent and have sent their martyrdom brigades to lay waste to any town, city or people that stand in their way.

They vehemently denied any desire for power or ruling the country but all their actions show their loathing for democracy and their affinity for dictatorial powers. They denied any intention of applying Islamic Sharia but were quick to incite all Somalis to embrace Islamic Courts.

They said they would never impose Islamic clothing on women but they made it difficult for any woman unless she is fully clad to walk in the streets of Mogdishu.

They said they wanted to live in peace with neighbouring countries but they couldn't hide their intention to unify all Somali territories in the Horn of Africa under the rule of Islam.

And by doing this, the Union of Islamist Cabals in Mogadishu have declared war on regional and international peace. Therefore, allowing them to fulfill their agenda under the pretext of returning Somalia to peace is not only myopic but also foolhardy and sleeping with a devil in Islamic clothing.
