That the way the French Government (left wing) chose to “sort out” immigrants.

What a shame!

Comment on Somali troops nab UN food chief by Tracer Hand

That’s true. The phrase “Sharia law” is itself inflammatory.

The judges themselves were very proud of instituting what they considered the “old, best and right” ways to do things. And in some cases in Somalia, this did include stonings and the chopping off of hands.

However, I think these things amounted to little more than example-settings — gimmicks — a bit like the electric chair or lethal injection.

And by anyone’s measure, the population was happier once the ICU was in power.

Which tells you a little something about how bad things had been.

They also set up Sharia law.

one of the things I have picked up in Spy School is a sense of there being a so-what quality to Sharia Law, in that it is not a precisely codified legal system but something about which scholars can endlessly argue; in effect you could take the legal system of any country and announce that it is being run on Sharia principles without actually changing anything about it, if you have the right scholars onside. So the OMG SHARIA LAW thing is all a bit overstated… those Islamic Courts fellows might have introducued Sharia Law, but that does not necessarily mean they were chopping off hands or stoning people to death left right and centre. Although they might have been, it’s not like I closely follow Somali politics.

I’m surprised that Somalia has enough of a state apparatus to be corrupt.

This Puntland stuff is interesting… I must investigate further.
