More Historic Relics Destroyed by Radical Islamists
Discussion
It was barely reported the other day but nobody seemed to notice that in Mali two millitant muslim groups joined together to create a Sharia state larger than France.
Both group have links to terrorism and are at the extreme end of extremism. good luck fining the training camps in that place.
A new location for nut jobs to go from all over the world and be welcomed with open arms.

Two rebel groups have agreed to merge and create an independent Islamic state in Northern Mali.
After seizing Azawad – an area larger than France – two months ago, the groups had initially disagreed, with the secular Movement for the Liberation of Azawad (MNLA) resisting the al-Qaeda linked Ansar Dine’s calls to create an Islamic state.
The agreement will see the two forces merge and the appointment of an executive authority for Azawad. Islamists have already started imposing Sharia across the region.

They (those who interpret the Quran) seem to try and out-do each other in how many different/bizarre/violent/extreme ways they can interpret the same passage/s.
Totally unlike christians then.They (those who interpret the Quran) seem to try and out-do each other in how many different/bizarre/violent/extreme ways they can interpret the same passage/s.
Via Socrates of Constantinople:
At the solicitation of Theophilus, Bishop of Alexandria, [a christian, or rather a follower of the official roman religion which was a creation of the roman state and which took over from christianity] the emperor issued an order at this time for the demolition of the heathen temples in that city; commanding also that it should be put in execution under the direction of Theophilus. Seizing this opportunity, Theophilus exerted himself to the utmost to expose the pagan mysteries to contempt. And to begin with, he caused the Mithreum to be cleaned out, and exhibited to public view the tokens of its bloody mysteries. Then he destroyed the Serapeum, and the bloody rites of the Mithreum he publicly caricatured; the Serapeum also he showed full of extravagant superstitions, and he had the phalli of Priapus carried through the midst of the forum. ... Thus this disturbance having been terminated, the governor of Alexandria, and the commander-in-chief of the troops in Egypt, assisted Theophilus in demolishing the heathen temples.
Via Wiki.
So nothing new here.

There was a very prophetic French govt. report in January, more aimed at what France could do in the Sahal region to further their interests; basically it foresaw the region being very unstable in the near future with the different actors involved seemingly destined to do exactly this.

The US has a small presence and increasing influence (see Keenans 'Dark Sahara' if you've a tin-foil hat ready), as govt.s will easily be led into accepting their technical and physical assistance, but Algeria doesn't want to get too involved publicly (according to their for. Min.) but has inevitably increased presence on the Southern border and split one of their military regions into two entities, effectively forming a new region to deal with just this problem and the potential it has for instability.
Traditionally AQIM has been a northern Algerian problem, although there has been small activity in the desert, but there hasn't been the scale of activity perpetrated by Mali based groups on Algerian soil over the last few months since the days of the GIA/GSPC.
From Niger, Nigeria, Mali, Southern Algeria, Libya and Northern Tchad, a myriad of players and their agendas will be seeing a unique opportunity here I think.
All interesting stuff.
