With census reports showing that one out of four people in the world is Muslim - and with that population growing as Muslims immigrate and reproduce everywhere, extremists continue to demonstrate what  could be commonplace under Islamic law on Main Street one day.  So tell me why no one seems to care?

Like many extremist groups, Somalia’s hardline al Shabaab group is cracking down on residents who do not follow a strict form of Sharia Islamic law, now publicly whipping women who wear bras, the Times of India reported.

Residents tell the paper that gunmen have been gathering women in Mogadishu who are perceived to have firm busts. These women are then publicly whipped by masked men as punishment for what Islamist leaders call deception.

After the public whippings, the women are forced to remove their bras and shake their breasts, the Times reported.

“Al Shabaab forced us to wear their type of veil and now they order us to shake our breasts,” a resident, Halima, told the Times of India. Her daughters were whipped for wearing bras.

“They first banned the former veil and introduced a hard fabric which stands stiffly on women’s chests. They are now saying that breasts should be firm naturally, or just flat,” she said.

The insurgent group recently amputated a foot and a hand from two young men accused of robbery. Al Shabaab has also banned movies, musical ringtones, dancing at wedding ceremonies and playing or watching soccer.

Sometimes its appropriate to condemn religious behavior.  That time is now. If Catholic priests involved in whipping women, it would be front page news of Time Magazine and every other media outlet.  Why do they look the other way for non-Christains?
