Somali executed for 'apostasy'

[Laila]

An Islamist militia has executed a Somali politician who they accused of betraying his religion by working with non-Muslim Ethiopian forces.

An Islamist spokesman in the port of Kismayo told the BBC that Abdirahman Ahmed was shot dead on Thursday.

Mr Ahmed was also accused of spying for Ethiopian forces, said to be backing the forces of warlord Barre Hiraale in trying to recapture Kismayo.

He is believed to be the first politician executed by the Islamists.

Ethiopian forces are pulling out of Somalia, two years after they intervened to try to oust Islamists from the capital Mogadishu.

It's a shame that people do these things under the guise of religion. It is this kind of evil behavior that makes Islam out to seem barbaric to most people. These people are less than human (Islamic Extremists).

This is the same reason why islamic governments execute people who convert away from Islam.
