MOGADISHU (AFP) - Islamists now in full control of the Somali capital vowed to "destroy" all resistance to their religious rule as the city's last secular warlord fled after surrendering in fierce battles.Islamic militia scoured southern Mogadishu for weapons still outside their hands following the defeat late Monday of warlord Abdi Hassan Awale Qeydiid in bloody clashes that left at least 100 dead since the weekend.
Yanno, back in, '96 was it? When the Afghan-American Afghanistan Taliban took control, I believe my reaction was on the lines of, "so, who cares?"
I'm a little more worldly now.
This isn't good news.
I can't help but wonder...what, exactly, is standing in the way of Islam conquering the whole of Africa?

Nothing but several million Christians who stand to be raped, murdered, and enslaved. Look at Darfur and you will see the misery about to be unleashed upon a large part of Africa. I predicted this would happen. Not that I wanted it to, but it is so obvious that the jihadists would take this route, both to gain fodder for their upcoming wars and because they have done the same thing before.

Lets hope Ethiopia attempts to topple the new regime.
I would be for sending more aid to Africa, if it ever reached the people in need, it always ends up in the hands of some despot -- and then the U.N wants to send in some American "meatshields" for their peacekeeping operations to keep their aid safe.

So the Emeny never does surrender you ask? Well then you still have a state of war and can hold prisoner and walk around saying make me. The enemy looks more and more inept because they can't. Then way we've done it we've set ourselves up badly. Plus the rules would be better. On this side of the line it lives other side it dies. See simplicity works.
I'm afraid the moneyed interests in Washington hurt us this way. Doing it right takes committments the Congress I fear is incapable of making these days.
