Some allegations and claims are questionable:<br />1) "Islamists will become only more moderate when they are not oppressed, and only more pragmatic as they face the responsibility of governing.” Is this what happened when the Taliban had the responsibility of governing Afghanistan? Or the Islamists in Somalia?<br />2) The notion that Islamic military action against the Ethiopian kingdom was fairly minimal and mainly defensive contradicts the historical record. The conquests of Gragn were supported by an expanding Ottoman empire and involved unprecedented destruction of national literary and artistic treasures, not to mention forced conversions on a scale unknown to Ethiopian Christians. The subsequent Turkish conquest of the Eritrean coast planted seeds that germinated into the Italian colony of Eritrea. The Sudanese Mahdist Dervishes invaded Ethiopia without provocation and burned the Ethiopian capital at Gondar. etc.<br />3)Strangely omitted is the action of Sheik Al Amoudi in supporting the disseminating of Wahabist literature into mosques he financed.sAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-783858531338181733.post-73388694071599630212012-05-26T02:39:29.151-04:002012-05-26T02:39:29.151-04:00Also find a complementary article by Jawar can be ...Also find a complementary article by Jawar can be found @<br />http://dhummuugaa.wordpress.com/2012/05/25/old-tricks/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-783858531338181733.post-59980438248569043162012-05-26T02:23:40.230-04:002012-05-26T02:23:40.230-04:00Nice and balanced Article Alemayehu.Keep it up!Nice and balanced Article Alemayehu.Keep it up!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-783858531338181733.post-10799758448193876972012-05-25T05:04:22.783-04:002012-05-25T05:04:22.783-04:00All I can say is thank you!All I can say is thank you!Ethionoreply@blogger.com
