Jihad Watch: Thomas Haidon: Some reflections on the death of Mohammed Taha Mohammed Ahmed and Islamic reform generally (2064 words)
The purpose of this essay is to highlight (not necessarily memorialise or eulogise) a recent victim of this trend, and to discuss the impact and repercussions for the West and Muslim liberals of failing to respond accordingly to the burgeoning wave of Islamically inspired violence, which is becoming increasingly organised and sophisticated.
Ahmeds death is a stark warning to moderate Muslims and Islamists, not only in Sudan but in the region as a whole, which has developed a fervent sympathy to the stricter Islamic interpretations of Ikhwahn an Muslimuun [the Muslim Brotherhood] or other Islamic based groups.
Ahmed was in many respects an ally of the regime and a fervent supporter of the Islamist revival.
