While the rest of the world (including Stardoll) throws themselves whole-heartedly into the spirit of the World Cup, 2 football fans were reportedly executed by Islamist militants in Somalia on June 14th.
Islamist groups had banned Somalis from watching World Cup matches on TV, claiming that watching football is 'un-Islamic' and saying it distracts citizens from their duty to overthrow the troubled east African country's government.
Ali Yasin Gedi, vice-chairman of the Elman rights groups, said that "Islamists unexpectedly entered houses in Afgoi district and fired (at) some people who tried to jump over the wall to escape."
Gunmen from the Hizbul Islam group swooped on homes in the Afgoi district, 19 miles south of the capital Mogadishu and executed two football fans while arresting dozens of others.
