AP Interview: Islamic leader in key Somali town says 'the world better learn who we are'

LET WEYNE, Somalia (AP) - An Islamic militia that controls most of southern Somalia is now expanding into the center of this Horn of Africa country, imposing order after years of anarchy but also sparking worries of an emerging Taliban-style regime.

One of its Islamic courts has been governing this central town for less than a week, operating out of a crumbling stone building furnished with green plastic chairs, but already its leader is envisioning greater things.

''The world better learn who we are,'' Sheik Farah Moalim told The Associated Press in an interview this week at his headquarters in Belet Weyne, capital of the Hiran region. ''This is just the beginning stage.''

Just 25 miles from the Ethiopian border, Belet Weyne is among the most important towns seized this month by militiamen loyal to the Supreme Islamic Courts Council, which is setting up regional courts to rule based on the Muslim holy book, the Quran.

The group's strict and often severe interpretation of Islam raises memories of Afghanistan's Taliban regime, which was ousted by a U.S.-led campaign for harboring Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida fighters. U.S. officials accuse the Somali group of harboring al-Qaida bombers.

But here and in other parts of Somalia, many people credit the Islamic courts with restoring order to a nation that had seen little more than violence and lawlessness for 15 years.

Moalim said the Islamic council will eventually set up courts throughout Somalia and warned it will not tolerate foreign interference - particularly from Ethiopia. The latter has vowed to ''crush'' the Islamists if they threaten Somalia's feeble, U.N.-backed interim government.

"Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith,
but to become dominant. The Qur'an should be the highest authority in America,
and Islam the only accepted religion on earth"

--Omar Ahmed, Chairman of the Board of CAIR (Council of American Islamic Relations), San Ramon Valley Herald, July 1998

Qur’an 8:12 “I shall terrorize the infidels.
So wound their bodies and incapacitate them
because they oppose Allah and His Apostle.”

Qur’an 8:57 “If you gain mastery over them in battle,
inflict such a defeat as would terrorize them,
so that they would learn a lesson and be warned.”

[CremeSaver]

Oh, we're learning, Sweetpea, we're learning.

[pierrem15]

Just send us your GPS coordinates, so we can send a welcome package.

[Little Ray]

He's right. People ought to learn who they are, the better to hunt them down and kill them.

[Rutles4Ever]

Another Godforsaken nation. (Or a nation that forsook God?)
