  Not disagreeing with you there Howard. What I meant there was that, until the Western powers so no chance of it spilling over. However, having said that, I would dispute your contention that it is all about tribal policy and not religion. Islam was and is opposed to democracy in the Western form, being firmly in favour of a theocracy. Islamic fundamentalists in all countries will continue to support those that offer such a policy and thus prop-up extremists. Any 'inclusion' of Islamic laws, while seemingly appropriate to some as a compromise to some, will only provide a opening for pressure to fully adopt the rest.
  
  Islamic fighters will use whatever best achieves their objectives, whether it be tribal loyalties, ethnic traditions or just the basic fear of Western influence which has been in the region since the days of Alexander the Great.
