Somali Islamist orders 'holy war'

Topics: Understanding Islam

Perhaps we should call this just another Islamic hotspot in a world fastly being overwhelmed with news of Islamic hotspots of violence and war: "A Somali Islamist leader has ordered a "holy war" to drive out Ethiopian troops, after they entered the country to protect the weak interim government." Oh hell, what's another holy war or two, or three, or ....

Does the leader have a link to terrorism? Of course! Although he has denied US claims that he is linked to terrorism, he's been on the US list of people "linked to terrorism" since shortly after the 9/11 attacks in 2001.

Would you expect otherwise? Isn't it time we heard a hell of a lot more from our moderate Muslim friends? Shouldn't we by now be hearing a vociferous outcry over their "outrage" over "radical" Islamists?
