 (SomaliNet) The Somali Council of the Islamic Courts raided homes that were showing the World Cup and foreign films. The Alliance has intensified its action against foreign influence. The Islamists entered private homes yesterday that they suspected of showing the World Cup and foreign movies without permission.

Witnesses said that the militiamen destroyed televisions in the Hamar-Jadid neighbourhood of Mogadishu. The Alliance led by Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys, banned the World Cup and foreign movies cutting off power supplies in the cinemas shortly after they had taken control of Mogadishu. The Islamists believe that this form of foreign influence will corrupt the minds of the muslims and turn them away from God. This move came after the Alliance changed its name from the Islamic Courts Alliance to Somali Council of the Islamic Courts.
