The religion of peace has blessed Somali's Mogadishu with its holly hands, again! Many of the blessed who pray five times a day believe Mogadishu is second holiest city after Afghanistan's capital city Kabul.
The Somali Jihadists advocate the strict Saudi-inspired Wahhabi version of Islam, while most Somalis are Sufis. It has imposed a harsh version of Sharia in areas under its control, including stoning to death women accused of adultery and amputating the hands of thieves.
BBC news today records:

FYI Sufi Islam is Turkish Islam. The Ottoman Empire must have spreaded it across the horn!

True Islam is alive only in Afghanistan and Somalia
BBC News:
Afghanistan: Taliban ban Helmand barbers from trimming beards
The Taliban have banned hairdressers in Afghanistan's Helmand province from shaving or trimming beards, saying it breaches their interpretation of Islamic law.
The Taliban have banned hairdressers in Afghanistan's Helmand province from shaving or trimming beards, saying it breaches their interpretation of Islamic law.
Anyone violating the rule will be punished, Taliban religious police say.
Some barbers in the capital Kabul have said they also received similar orders.
The instructions suggest a return to the strict rulings of the group's past tenure in power, despite promises of a milder form of government.
Since taking power last month, the Taliban have carried out harsh punishments on opponents. On Saturday, the group's fighters shot dead four alleged kidnappers and their bodies were hung in the streets of Herat province.
In a notice posted on salons in southern Helmand province, Taliban officers warned that hairdressers must follow Sharia law for haircuts and beards.
