What about Humanity?
The other day, we read about economist talking about how America has made a huge mistake in its two wars? It has endangered its economy and its place in the world. However we here a MMM wonder why the world has become a economic issue?
All of our view of the world and its issue are being influenced by economic variables.
We read about the execution in Somalia of two young girls and ask ourselves, what about humanity? How can we live in a world as such and not think it matters? As long as our foreign policy is controlled by economics we will never end such tragedies and criminality. Those who are against wars in Afghanistan or Iraq or any other place, against Al-Quida and the muslim or any other fanatics should have these deaths on their conscience. We mourn Ayan Mohamed Jama, 18, and Huriyo Ibrahim, 15.
We add Sheik Mohamed Ibrahim and Sheik Yusuf Ali Ugas, to our hit list of those who need to be sent to hell.
So to those who march for peace thousands of miles from the action, let us ask; is it economics or humanity? Where are you getting your principles from? What about humanity?
MOGADISHU, Somalia – An Islamic group that controls much of southern Somalia executed two girls by firing squad, and hundreds of residents of a town were forced to view the spectacle.
Sheik Mohamed Ibrahim on Wednesday sentenced the girls to death in the town of Belet Weyne for spying for government soldiers fighting the Islamist group al-Shabab. The local al-Shabab administration appoints judges and the only needed qualifications are that the person must be a man who knows the Quran.
Al-Shabab is linked to al-Qaida and has carried out several whippings, amputations and executions to enforce its own strict interpretation of Islam. This was the first public execution of girls in Belet Weyne, a western Somali town.
Abdiwali Aden, a witness, told The Associated Press by phone that al-Shabab militiamen had walked through Belet Weyne's streets, informing residents about the pending executions by loudspeaker and ordering everyone to attend.
Ayan Mohamed Jama, 18, and Huriyo Ibrahim, 15, were brought before hundreds of residents. Ten masked men opened fire Wednesday on the girls, who were blindfolded, soon after the sentencing. As the girls were shot, they shouted "There is no God but Allah," said a witness who asked not to be named for fear of reprisals.
A woman fainted after she saw the girls being shot, said Da'ud Ahmed, another witness.
An al-Shabab official, Sheik Yusuf Ali Ugas, said the girls had admitted to spying. But Sadia Osman, who witnessed the execution, said one of the girls said she was innocent. Ugas also warned residents against using their mobile phones or cameras to document the execution, saying violates of his rule risked amputation.
Human Rights Watch said in an April report that al-Shabab imposes "unrelenting repression and brutality."
Al-Shabab, which vows allegiance to al-Qaida and whose members include foreign fighters, controls large parts of southern Somalia and much of the capital, Mogadishu.
Somalia has not had an effective central government for 19 years. The U.N.-backed government controls only a few blocks of Mogadishu, while its allies control much of central Somalia.
