Somalia

Guns Guns Guns For The Kids

A Somalian radio station ran by the Shabab, the most powerful Islamist militant group in country, held a radio contest for kids. The contest was over the reciting the Koran and Shabab history. The contest was held during Ramadan and ask questions that would be the equivalent to “What war is William T. Sherman for?” and the top two winners received... Full automatic AK-47s while third place received a few messily hand grenades.

Even though Somalia is the most corrupt country in the world I think this proves that there is definitely fishy going on over there. In other countries around the world people would not give children guns as prizes over the radio. They might receive tickets to their favorite T.V. show turned into an on ice show. That is a very big difference between “us” and “Them". I wish I would have been lucky enough as a child to get a gun as a prize, but things are different here.
