Re: Islamist militants launch raid in Yemen

[Guest guest]

But you see, Western leaders don't believe in this religious radicalism. Our leaders think religion is some quaint, silly thing that silly people cling to in hard times, trusting that and morality rather than government. Just look at what they say and what they have written. They don't seem capable of thinking that these religious radicals are serious about their faith or that that faith includes bringing war to nonbelievers. Well, they'll find out before too much longer and, unfortunately, so will the rest of us since we will bear the burden of our leaders' vanity and ignorance.

Islamist militants launched lethal raids on government buildings in south Yemen on Wednesday, local residents said, in a sign of rising religious radicalism that analysts think has more to do with domestic power struggles than international terrorism.
