More on this will be forthcoming over the weekend we imagine, but for now just know that political Islam in Somalia is working out as well as you’d expect:
At times like this, it’s critically important to remember that anyone claiming that there’s anything expansionist about political Islam is just a bigoted Islamophobe. There is absolutely no connection. None.
And if you forget that, just remember what the LA Times told us when Islamists took over the Somalia capital and assumed more or less formal control of the country: “Islamists Sow Calm, and Concern, in Southern Somalia”. We, on the other hand, reacted to the story by declaring the Islamist takeover a “kind of modern-day Islamist Domino Effect”. So we think we should get some points for being more right than the LA Times, since they said “calm” and we said “continued Islamist warfare and spread”. Not too many points though – because only an idiot or an ideologue would have predicted anything differently.
