In Somalia, if you watch World Cup football you get executed. (1 Viewer)

Two Somali football fans have been killed by Islamic militants after being caught watching World Cup matches.

The deaths happened on Saturday near the capital Mogadishu when members of the Hizbul Islam group stormed a house where people were watching Nigeria play Argentina.


A further 10 people were arrested by the group, which has imposed a strict version of Islam in the areas it controls in southern and central Somalia.


The next night, another 30 people were arrested as they watched the Germany-Australia game in the town of Afgoye.


Sheikh Mohamed Abdi Aros, a spokesman for the militants, said Somalia should respect their ban on the World Cup and focus on pursuing jihad.


"We are warning all the youth of Somalia not to dare watch these World Cup matches," he said.


"It is a waste of money and time and they will not benefit anything or get any experience by watching mad men jumping up and down."

I lol'ed at their spokesman. Essentially, if you're not pursuing jihad 24/7 you're part of the problem. What a nutjob.
