Muslim Prohibitionists winning over government leaders

From mychristianbloodspirit.com "2 Algerian Islamists call for bars to close" Oct. 5:

The two, Hachemi Sahnouni, who helped found the Islamic Salvation Front, and Abderazak Zeraoui Hamadache, said that alcohol is "perverting our youth and destroying our religious morals."

The call to close all bars recalls the period referred to as the "black decade" in the 1990s when extremists imposed their will on many villages and cities.

"We call on neighborhood committees to demand the definitive closing of bars and shops selling alcoholic beverages, forbidden by the religion of the prophet," the two said.

Reflecting the sensitivity of the situation, Prime Minister Ahmed Ouyahia ducked a question Friday about the growing fear of those selling alcoholic beverages, saying only that alcohol causes health problems.

Editor's note - Advancing worldwide prohibitionism from Muslims continues to receive zero coverage from so called "libertarian" media.
