Terrorists ban school bells in Somali town

From OneNewsNow.com (April 18):

MOGADISHU, SOMALIA - Residents and a school official say militants in Somalia have banned school bells in one southern town because they say they are un-Islamic.

One resident in the town of Jowhar, Mohamud Aw-Abdi, says the terrorist group al-Shabab told school principals the bells sound like church bells. No churches are known to operate openly in Somalia.

One school principal says teachers now beat tables and doors to signal the start or end of class. [read more]

Well, that's different. A school bell freaking out militant Jihahists. Although, it does sort of make sense. Christian churches use bells in steeples, so naturally they would think a bell from a school would be like a Christian church. Psychologists call that classical conditioning. I wonder if the terrorists would have the same reaction if they heard London's Big Ben?

That might be interesting test to see if a Muslim is a militant Jihadist or not. Ring a bell in front of them and see if they react negatively. If they do they might be a militant Jihadist. Since classical conditioning is more or less a reflex action it would be hard not to fake a reaction.
