Somalian Band Beaten for Playing Music
I guess this is their idea of bringing order and calm to Mogadishu:

Don't worry,....we're watching!! 
Big moves by the Islamic courts in the last few months. Pretty significant moves have bolstered quite a bit of concern from bordering countries. It's always been a place to watch, but more recently (post OIF) there's been a great deal of new Islamic movements within the whole horn. Lessons learned have a way of making their way back to the places like this and become the TTP for the next generation of recruits.
Nothing new, just a thought.

Were they playing boy band music like Backstreet Boys or N'Sync? If that were the case then we are talking about a thoroughly justified event here.

Got to go to a show put on by the National Dance Team from Sudan. In a little play house near the Mahdi's Tomb in Omdurman.
I'll stop here.

i'll bet it sounded a lot like someone skinning a cat with a chainsaw, complete with foot stomps, hand claps and the occassional Rebel yell...
