Islamist Monster Supports Child Rape
Somalia's Muslim Maniacs Ban Music
Somalia's Hizbu Islam has demanded that local radio stations in Mogadishu stop broadcasting music.
"It is against Islam to play music and other lyrics... We should have banned music right now but we want to give you 10 days so that you remove all music and melody containing cassettes," said Sheikh Moalim Hashi Mohamed, the movement's leader in Mogadishu.
Hizbu Islam is trying to depose Somalia's Transitional Federal Government and replace it with one that operates under the barbaric code of sharia--Islamic law. The Islamist group is considered exceptionally fanatic, even by the extremely low standards of the failed African state, a Muslim hell-on-earth marked by piracy and anarchy, murder and mayhem.
The targeted radio stations are expected to comply with the Islamist demand, leaving the TFG's official station as the only one playing music in the Somali capital.
Somali Islamists have also demanded an end to the ringing of school bells, calling the custom "Christian."

Dutch, German Airlines Conduct Test Flights
Volcano update....
KLM and Lufthansa successfully carried out test flights while waiting for European skies to clear. Click here for the story.
But the ash unleashed by the eruption that began Wednesday shows no signs of abating; and the chaos continues as a result of the biggest airspace shutdown in Europe since World War II.
The French government on Saturday annouced plans to keep the airports in Paris and northern France closed until Monday; and many other European nations have also banned or lengthened their bans on air travel. Britain has extended a ban on most flights in its airspace until at least 1:00 PM on Sunday.
Eyjafjallajökull was now releasing ash in "pulses" rather than a steady plume, according to UK experts. But scientists cautioned that it was still too early to predict when the eruption would end.
The volcano's last major eruption, in 1821, lasted for two years.
