Al Qaeda’s al Zawahiri has called for Jihad in Somalia because the Islamofascist revolutionaries are close to defeat by the combined forces of Ethiopia and the legitimate government of Somalia.
The fascinating element of al Zawahiri’s jihad proclamation is the blaming of America for the Islamic Courts imminent demise. The actual truth is that the Islamic Courts are handily being routed by a Third World military force of the Ethiopian army. I suspect military arms have been received from America; however there are NO American troops in Somalia.
Jihad calls like al Zawahiri’s is the very reason that Ethiopia entered the fray to aid the legitimate government of Somalia. Ethiopia is a nation that is a Christian majority; however there is a significant minority of Mohammedans. Some have the Mohammedan ratio to between 40% and even 50%.
To date the Mohammedan population and the Coptic Christian population have interacted peacefully. The Ethiopian government fears the influence of radical Mohammedanism that al Qaeda and the Somali Islamic Courts would have represented to Ethiopia’s National Interests and National Security. Al Zawahiri has proven that concern to be accurate.
Ethiopia also has proven it does not take a Super Power military to defeat an Islamofascist military.
This is exactly why victory against jihadist forces in Somalia is so important. A major blow would be dealt to the global jihadist military and propaganda machine--and not by the mighty U.S., but by unheralded Ethiopia. This only doubles the jihadists' humiliation. (Erick Stakelbeck)
