it's a bit outdated--it seems to have been written around 2001--but it took about 30 seconds to find and abuot 5 minutes to read and gives enough background information to shortcircuit this idiotic "something must be done about islam" line that keeps cropping up here.
think about it: if you're going to talk about this situation IN THE SUDAN, dont you think it reasonable to talk about the sudan?
and such articles are easy to pile up---it just requires a *little bit* of research---nothing stressful i'm sure you can do it. it will take you less time that it will to write another rehash of the huntington "thesis."

If this were a local issue then yes, but either militant Islam is springing up independently in pretty much every location they come in contact with other belief systems, or there is an interconnectedness that allows for generalizations.
