Like heck they are
How about doing something against Muslim extremism in Africa? Somalia is now just about completely ruled by the “Islamist militia”.
They now seized “the southern town of Kismayo, one of the last seaports that had been outside their control in Somalia”.
The United States has accused the Islamic group of sheltering suspects in the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. Al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden has portrayed Somalia as a battleground in his war on the U.S.
The group’s strict and often severe interpretation of Islam raises memories of Afghanistan’s Taliban, which was ousted by a U.S.-led campaign for harboring bin Laden and al-Qaida fighters. Still, many residents credit the courts with bringing a semblance of order.
If the West is so dedicated to fighting extremism, how can we let this happen?
