Islamists continue to kill each other in Somalia

ROPMA International Herald Tribune

MOGADISHU, Somalia: Extremist Islamic militiamen beheaded two clerics from a rival group after stopping the vehicle taking them to be treated for wounds suffered in a gun battle, a spokesman for the clerics' group said.

The clerics were members of Ahlu Sunna Waljama which had been fighting against extremist al-Shabab militiamen in the town of Balad, about 30 kilometers (20 miles) from the capital Mogadishu, said spokesman Sheik Abdullahi Sheik Abu Yusuf.

Abu Yusuf blamed al-Shabab for the beheadings on Thursday but said the clerics were not involved in the earlier fighting. Al-Shabab controls large chunks of the country where it imposes a harsh brand of Islam, while battling government troops and African Union peacekeepers.

Do you get extra paradise points for beheading someone? Is that the Islamic way?

Yes , paradise points are rewarded for Beheadings ! Especially when you behead a Cleric who you don't like and who has already been shot !
Extra points are only redeemable for used goats Though !
