Somali Women Beaten for Violation of Strict Islamic Law


A group of hooded Al-Shabaab dispatched men carrying whips went into the market place and flogged any woman they saw without socks. As if their feet were not already covered in floor length dresses. In addition to this, Al-Shabaab gunmen rounded up 50 women for not wearing a veil which they could not afford as vegetable traders. In the past two days alone, there have been attacks on 130 people, including some men. All this for not completely 110% following every minute detail of their harsh laws. The world has stood by long enough, it is time to take action. I am not referring to the US as the world's policeman, mind you. But within the whole of the entire globe, I think we can recognize this as wrong.
