And of course you have the pathetic MSM spinning the story as “demanding peace”: MSNBC - ”Thousands of Somalis demand peace at rally”
On thursday, thousands of people took to the streets in the Somali capital Mogadishu in support of introducing the Sharia law.
The demonstrators gathered in Mogadishu Stadium, where Sheikh Ahmed Dahir Aweys the brother of opposition leader Hassan Dahir Aweys told the crowds to support the implementation of sharia law in the country.
He said it was a religious duty which should be uphold in all times.
“…the sharia is pure justice that fights with everything that is evil….” Says Sheikh Ahmed Dahir Aweys.
Today’s demonstrations was in support of the decision of the Somali religious council who last week released an advisory report calling for the new government to introduce the sharia law in the country.
The religious council said the Federal Parliament should approve the sharia law within months.
The Somali religious council also called for the African Peacekeepers AMISOM to withdraw their troops in Mogadishu within 120 days.
