Islamic hate groups bans bras A hardline Islamist group in Somalia is publicly whipping women for wearing bras they say violate Islam by constituting a “deception”, it was claimed yesterday.

Gunmen from al Shabaab have been rounding up any women with a “firm bust” and whipping them, say residents in the capital Mogadishu.

One woman said: “They first introduced a hard fabric which stands stiffly on women’s chests. They are now saying breasts should be firm naturally, or just flat.”

The group has also banned movies, football, musical ringtones and dancing at weddings.

The group’s hardline interpretation of Islamic law has shocked many Somalis, who are traditionally moderate Muslims.

Naturally Religion News Blog files these type of items under the category, ‘religious insanity.’

Religious Insanity:
Marc Grizzard Yet another case of religious insanity…

A church leader in North Carolina is burning versions of the Bible he doesn’t agree with.

Pastor Marc Grizzard of the Amazing Grace Baptist Church in Canton is building a bonfire on Halloween to destroy Bibles that aren’t the King James Version.

“What we’re doing is we’re burning books that are satanic. I believe the King James version is God’s preserve, inspired, in erect, infallible word of God.”

King James Only-ism is the aberrant belief that God isn’t clever enough to address people in anything other than ancient English. [video]

Religious Insanity:
Jose Flores Pereira A Bolivian religious fanatic who claimed he had a bomb briefly hijacked a jetliner from the beach resort of Cancun as it landed in Mexico City.

The Bible-carrying Jose Flores Pereira described himself as a pastor who had gone to Cancun to preach.

He is also a Christian music singer who in videos posted on YouTube sings of leaving drugs and finding God.

He told police that his action was prompted by the realisation that the date – 9-9-09 – is the satanic number 666 upside down.

Three other passengers, whom Flores had referred to as “the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost,” were also arrested but quickly released.

Beastly female Muslim terrorist Samira Ahmed Jassim A woman suspected of recruiting more than 80 female suicide bombers has confessed to organising their rapes so she could later convince them that martyrdom was the only way to escape the shame.

Women are often allowed through military checkpoints without being searched, making it easier for them to hide explosives under their traditional robes.

Our question: with Muslims around the world going nuts over cartoons, teddy bears and freedom of speech, when will we see them protest this kind of religious insanity?

Islam hate free speech Islam is incompatible with free speech (and a host of other values observed by civilized nations).

In an unprecedented case, a Jordanian court is prosecuting 12 Europeans in an extraterritorial attempt to silence the debate on radical Islam.

The prosecutor general in Amman charged the 12 with blasphemy, demeaning Islam and Muslim feelings, and slandering and insulting the prophet Muhammad in violation of the Jordanian Penal Code. The charges are especially unusual because the alleged violations were not committed on Jordanian soil.
