Somalia : Islamists Arrest Scores For Watching Movie
2006-11-21
Mogadishu, 21 Nov. (AKI) - Militants from Somalia's Union of Islamic Courts have arrested some 100 people, including children, for watching a film in a small public cinema in the town of Merca in the country's southern Lower Shabelle province. The Courts, in line with their hardline brand of Islam, have shut down cinemas in parts of the country they control including the country's capital Mogadishu.

Besides the crackdown against cinemas, the Courts have also the banned the trade and use of Khad, a narcotic leaf, as well as outlawing tobacco cigarette smoking in some areas.
No booze, no kites, no music, no khat, no tobacco... I dunno, perhaps there's still an hope for Pr0n? Please...?

At this rate, one of these days they'll catch up with California.
