A hardline Islamist group in Somalia has begun publicly whipping women for wearing bras that they claim violate Islam as they are 'deceptive'.

The insurgent group Al Shabaab has sent gunmen into the streets of Mogadishu to round up any women who appear to have a firm bust, residents claimed yesterday.

The women are then inspected to see if the firmness is natural, or if it is the result of wearing a bra.

If they are found wearing a bra, they are ordered to remove it and shake their breasts, residents said.



Al Shabaab, which seeks to impose a strict interpretation of Sharia law over all Somalia, also amputated a foot and a hand each from two young men accused of robbery earlier this month.

They have also banned movies, musical ringtones, dancing at wedding ceremonies and playing or watching soccer.

'Al Shabaab forced us to wear their type of full veil and now they order us to shake our breasts,' a resident, Halima, told Reuters, adding that her daughters had been whipped on Thursday.

'They are now saying that breasts should be firm naturally, or just flat.'

Officials of Al Shabaab, which Washington says is Al Qaeda's proxy in the failed Horn of Africa state, declined to comment.

The group's hardline interpretation of Islamic law has shocked many Somalis, who are traditionally moderate Muslims. Some residents, however, give the insurgents credit for restoring order to the regions under their control.

Al Shabaab, which means 'youth' in Arabic, control large swathes of south and central Somalia.

Abdullahi Hussein, a student in north Mogadishu, said his elder brother was thrown behind bars when he fought back a man who humiliated their sister by asking her to remove her bra.

'My brother was jailed after he wrestled with a man that had beaten my sister and forced her to remove her bra. He could not stand it,' Hussein said.

Men were not spared the' moral cleansing'. Any man caught without a beard was been publicly whipped.

'I was beaten and my hair was cut off with a pair of scissors in the street,' Hussein said.

'My trouser was also cut up to the knee. They accused me of shaving my beard but I am only 18.

'They have arrested dozens of men and women. You just find yourself being whipped by a masked man as soon as leave your house.'

While the story is hilarious. . . readers beware, it is not credible. 

I think you should look at it as another form of social correctnes.

Why should flat women make vulnarable men think they are busty. You tell me.

There next move should be on make ups and hair extensions, I myself am tired of make believes. No woman is ugly these days.

I mean there was a time when you could look a woman in the face and without a second thought you could say "that girl is ugly", and the whole neighbourhood would agree with you.

You just dont say that anymore, cause the next minute she could come out looking gorgeous all because of make ups.

Does anyone know if the Al Shabaab by any chance need a volunteer? 

@topic,

"Madness is rare in individuals - but in groups, political parties, nations and eras, it's the rule." - Friedrich Nietzsche.  Groups like Al Shabaab and their cronies make Friedrich look like a prophet.

that's the best job of ever.

boob inspector.

God oh.  .  .  .  .  .  . 
They'd rather have boobs (both firm and unfirm) flapping around crazily on the streets of mogadishu while women go about their chores and errands? 

Shi t like this, you cant make up!!!  Who are these people? Ignorance is really a scourge!!!!

Poor women, just when they think it cant get any worse these idiots come up with something else! You've played your part by tying the boobs up in a bra, then you're ordered to take it off and jiggle them for 'confirmation of firmness' . 

u tell us or is it not been done in the name of islam.

madness of the highest order!

What-da-hell?

With all the push-up bras these women use in deceiving us, I think it's about time someone did something about this and I applaud the Al-Shabab for this move.

It's time to take a stand and say no to artificially enhanced busts.

walahi, i don laaf taya!!!
All nairaland babes must remove dem bras to know if the firmness is natural or fake, they must shake very well!
What happens if those guys get turned on when seeing boobs shaking?

this part is my funniest

The al-Shabab group is just an asylum of violent lunatics. These Muslim extremists show, once again, the utter barbarism embedded in that outdated, outmoded and outclassed legal system called Sharia.

There simply no place for this kind of insanity in any civilized society!

kudos to al shahaab . . . maybe they shld move to the US, we're tired of surgically enhanced boobs too.

hehehehehehehehehehe
