Islamic state anyone?

The BBC reports:

The moderate leader of the Islamic Courts Union, Sharif Shaikh Ahmed, has said that his militia does not want to impose a Taliban-style Islamic state on Somalia.

But some Islamic courts officials have said they would only support a government based on Islam.

Is Somalia going from a frying pan into the fire? I don't frankly trust any Islamic militia that seizes power and chants "Allah'u'Akbar" into press microphones to choose to fully neglect Sharia law as a means to control the population. Sure, it may be a good move towards peace... how many times have nations been united under moderate Islamic rule througout history? But modern Islamic rule is different. We are clearly seeing a resurgence in militant Islamic fundamentalism, something the United States simply cannot afford to have dominate the Horn of Africa.
