Globetrotter,
You keep hurling insults at the Shari'ah courts in Mogadishu, but you barely stick around to find out details about their actions. They did not confiscate Hindi movies as you claim, those cinemas that were raided were known to have a habit of consistently showing pornogrophy to the public including young children. Do you honestly think the courts would randomly select these cinemas out of the countless other cinemas? Why these particular ones?
Even Western society knows vice when it sees one, that is why adult material including pornogrophy is made inaccesible to minors.
The courts have their flaws, but they provide much relieve to a city besieged with anarchy and vice. Do you have any idea how much they do for their communities? How many rapists they have put away, how many murderers they have prosecuted? This is the problem with Somalis, it is easier to critisise then to think logically and calmly. What other alternative do Mogadishu residents have? No police, no civil society, no clan government, nothing, desparate times call for desparate measures.
Think.....think!
