AFP: MOGADISHU — A hardline Somali Islamist group issued a 10-day ultimatum Saturday to Mogadishu-based radio stations to stop playing all kinds of music or face unspecified penalties, an Islamist leader said.
The Hezb al-Islam group, which controls patches of the war-riven Somali capital, said playing music on radio stations was evil.
"We call on the local radio stations to stop broadcasting the songs and all music as well. We give them a 10-day deadline and any radio station found not complying with the orders... will face sharia action," said Moalim Hashi Mohamed Farah, a senior Hezb al-Islam official, referring to Islamic law.
"We also issue orders banning the local media from using the word 'foreigners' to refer to our Muslim brothers coming from outside the country to help us fight against the enemy of Allah," he told reporters. >>> | Saturday, April 03, 2010

THE TELEGRAPH: Nicolas Sarkozy has confronted a radio presenter who asked his wife, Carla Bruni: "Would you love him so much if he wasn't President of France?"
Mr Sarkozy is said to have cornered the outspoken radio host, Marc-Olivier Fogiel, at an awards ceremony at the Elysee Palace.
The President was described by witnesses to have "stormed up" to the surprised DJ to defend his wife's honour.
The stand-off came after Mr Fogiel interviewed the French First Lady on his chat show on radio station Europe 1 last week.
He reminded listeners how Mr Sarkozy met Bruni on a blind date at a Paris dinner party more than two years ago, then proposed on Christmas day after a two-month whirlwind romance.
He then bluntly questioned about her love for the 54-year-old President.
The stunning 41-year-old former supermodel replied simply: "That's a bit of a stupid question."
At the Elysee Palace this week, Mr Sarkozy was heard to have told Mr Fogiel: "I don't appreciate the way you spoke to my wife. It was a clumsy question. I won't forget about it." >>> | Saturday, December 12, 2009

TIMES ONLINE: Media-friendly priests and bishops beware: the Vatican has warned clergy who appear on television to remember they are not glamorous “stars" or “showmen" but only communicators bringing the Christian message to a mass audience.
Archbishop Mauro Piacenza, secretary of the Vatican Congregation for the Clergy, said “evangelisation does not need showmen priests who go on television." He was speaking after a conference on “Communication and the Mission of the Priesthood" at the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross in Rome.
“Communication should foster communion in the Church," Monsignor Piacenza said. Television and radio were “not a platform for individuals showing off" and becoming “the centre of attention".
Such behaviour not only interfered with the message itself but “what is more serious still, it introduces division".
He urged priests “not to improvise" on television, and to avoid “banal sentimentality", saying that their message should be based on “2000 years of communion in the faith," a message which “can only be transmitted through one's own experience and interior life". >>> Richard Owen in Rome | Thursday, December 10, 2009
