Islamic Courts to disarm business people in the capital
2006-11-28
(SomaliNet) Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed, the leader of executive council of Islamic Courts, has issued on Monday a decree which orders the business people to hand over their weapons to Islamic Courts. The copies of the verdict which distributed to the local mass media warns all the owners of the business companies and other individuals of holding any kind of weapons and put it into the hands of the Islamic Courts that control much of southern Somalia.

In the decision which came from the office of the Islamists leader it said that the Islamic Courts would not allow any one to hold weapon in the capital and other town under their control from today on. The letter said all weapons will be stored in former compound of police command in Mogadishu where some of the Islamic fighters are now based in.
This story reminds me of a theory I've been noodling over...the theory that Big Mo declared dogs to be unclean because they would guard the homes that he and his henchtards were planning to burgle, and possibly prevent them from pillaging the wimminfolk. IIRC, dogs that guarded olive groves and livestock were somewhat okay or at least ignored, but house dogs were strictly verboten. It's also distinctly possible that a dog peed on him when he was a kid.
