Earlier this month, Al-Shabaab militants whipped women for wearing bras in an area of northern Mogadishu that they control, shocking residents who have been besieged by the ongoing insurgency. The militants believe the female undergarments are a deception to men.

Praise Allah, peace be upon him!

Might be a religion of peace, but if Muslims want anyone to take them seriously, they need to stand up and scream against this type of behavior.

I'm not just talking about the leaders, until every Muslim in the world with a fully functioning brain stands up and says no to this type of treatment, they'll always be looked down upon.

This is true of any religion that has its militant members though. Christians, Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Sikhs, Hindus, et cetera. They need to police their own, or be identified with them, whether rightfully or not.

Yes... typical men. I see it every day on the way to work, men stoning women on the side of the road for wearing undergarments.

What I don't understand is why are those men looking closely enough at the women to see they're wearing bras? Aren't they supposed to keep their damned dirty eyes off da wimmens?

How on earth can they tell if a woman is wearing a bra or not under that tent they force women to wear....Maybe the men do a strip search and would rather not see a bra while doing it?
