Sharia: Breast and Bra Nazis

Via Mark Steyn, The Corner:

I try to keep up to speed on Islamic law, but it's more complicated than I'd thought. For example, women are supposed to be "modest" in public. But that's no reason not to make them disrobe in the street and shake their breasts:

A hardline Islamist group in Somalia has begun publicly whipping women for wearing bras that they claim violate Islam as they are 'deceptive'.

The insurgent group Al Shabaab has sent gunmen into the streets of Mogadishu to round up any women who appear to have a firm bust, residents claimed yesterday.

Read on. Of course Westerners have an "oversimplified" view of Sharia. Yes, we misunderstand, this is gender justice.
