Militant Islamists in Somalia have shot dead a Muslim woman for refusing to wear a veil (Hijab), her relatives say.
The nomadic woman was killed outside her hut near the southern Somali town of Hosingow by gunmen belonging to the al-Shabab group, they added.
The militants had ordered her to put on a veil, and then killed her after returning and finding she was still not wearing one, the relatives said.
An al-Shabab spokesman denied the group had killed the woman.
Al-Shabab does not fully control the area where she was living, he added.
The woman’s relatives, who asked not to be identified for fear of reprisals, told the BBC she was killed at about 07:30 (04:30 GMT).
Al-Shabab, which controls much of southern and central Somalia, imposes strict rules of behaviour, including dress codes for men and women. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteIslam and violence, they are together.
ReplyDeleteWith the way things are going, a time will come when it will be very odd for anybody to preach Islam; when anybody who attempts it will be publicly lynched. Certainly, Islam does NOT have a good reputation again. Certainly.
