Triumphant Somali government forces marched into Mogadishu on Thursday after Islamist rivals abandoned the war-scarred city they held for six months before an Ethiopian-backed advance.

The flight of the Islamists was a dramatic turn-around in the volatile Horn of Africa nation after they took Mogadishu in June and spread across the south imposing sharia rule.

The fall of Mogadishu came about 10 days after the Islamists sought to march on the government base of Baidoa. That prompted Ethiopia to come openly into the war, proving the decisive factor in saving the government and pushing back the Islamists.

Proving that the we, in the Western world, are not the only ones fed up with the torture of Islamic/Sharia rule.

With this action as an example ... why would the Canadian Government entertain allowing its Islamist citizens to ever set up Sharia rule in the neighborhoods they happen to reside? Is that not abdicating the responsibility of governance?

Just Askin'!
