Muslims Against Firm (Not Frum) Breasts

Really.

A hardline Islamist group in Somalia has begun publicly whipping women for wearing bras that they claim violate Islam as they are 'deceptive'...Al Shabaab has sent gunmen into the streets of Mogadishu to round up any women who appear to have a firm bust...The women are then inspected to see if the firmness is natural, or if it is the result of wearing a bra.

If they are found wearing a bra, they are ordered to remove it and shake their breasts, residents said.


Now, over a year ago, Al-Shaab:

"the lads" in Somali, has been added to the United States' list of "foreign terrorist organisations".


Found this:

'Al Shabaab forced us to wear their type of full veil and now they order us to shake our breasts,' a resident, Halima, told Reuters, adding that her daughters had been whipped on Thursday.

'They are now saying that breasts should be firm naturally, or just flat.'



I don't know.

Somehow, putting together "firm bust", "hardline", "shake breasts" and "the lads" sounds weird to me.

It's definitely not frum.

Sorry, no pics.
