Where Salafi Islamists Enforce Burning the Bra (not Their Own)………….

Walking on water

“Al-Qaeda-linked militants in war-torn southern Somalia have banned unrelated men and women from shaking hands, speaking or walking together in public, residents said Saturday. People who break the rules could be imprisoned, whipped or even executed. The insurgents already have banned women from working in public, leaving many mothers with a terrible choice: risk execution by going to sell some tea or vegetables in the marketplace, or stay safely at home and watch the children slowly starve…….. The Islamists have also banned the cinema, music, and bras because they say they are all un-Islamic. Such restrictions are influenced by foreign fighters practicing Wahhabi Islam, which is much stricter than Somalia's traditional Sufi Islam that incorporates a long tradition of poetry and song………”

They have gone along way backwards, baby, in Somalia.
Does this mean the al-Qaeda wives in Waziristan, or in the proverbial caves, have also burned their bras (probably about 43 years after everyone else)?
