If the Islamic Courts Union which brought peace to Somalia after a decade of war had been allowed to continue who knows where Somalia would be today. However 11 years since USA sent its slave girls to invade the country and take down the ICU the blood shed continues with no end in sight.
These countries will never embrace democracy and until we realize it they will continue to emphasize it!
This is a commonly repeated falsehood. Once these people get a taste of living under Shariah law, they reject it.
No one wants to live under Al Shabaab's version of Shariah law where the internet is banned and TV is banned. Somalis were up in arms when they could not even watch the world cup in 2010 because Al Shabaab banned it.
If groups like Al Shabaab and the Talibahn are so sure that Somalis and Afghans want Shariah law then instead of fighting and taking power by force, they should follow the democratic route: Form an islamic party and participate in elections. If Islamic law is so popular, then they should win.
