Islamic courts curse unreachable enemy
Somalia's Islamic Courts are using all available weapons and curses to harm their opponents as much as possible. These well organized men have been known for using overwhelming power to intimidate and crush their opponents when grabbing new land. But what if the enemy is in faraway Canada? The answer is simply curse em!

“Mr. Amin Amir was told to stop portraying the Islamic courts the way he does in a week or Allah’s unforgiving anger will be bestowed open him.”
The most popular Somali artist who resides in Canada creates humor cartoons depicting Somalia’s current political climate. Mr. Amin Amir whose website is www.aminarts.com was told to stop portraying the Islamic courts the way he does in a week or… or Allah’s unforgiving anger will be bestowed open him. This threat came from the head of the Islamic Courts Sheik Sharif last Friday.

Although the deadline is still days away, Mr. Amir seems not to be concerned about the invisible power the courts claim to use against him if he doesn’t stop ridiculing and depicting the courts the way the way he usually does.

No political figure or group in Somalia is safe from Mr. Amir’s pencil and the crowds love him. Many Somali websites and newspapers use Amin’s artistic cartoons as syndicated work. He added English translation of some of the balloon quotes recently. What the courts don’t understand is that Mr. Amin translates what the masses are saying into cartoons. He makes fun of politicians and the rest love it. Ethiopian prime minister who is the Islamic Courts' sworn enemy gets most of Amin’s pencil diatribe and he never complained, at least publicly.
