he Islamist leader demanded that the powerful armed forces withdraw their ultimatum, saying he rejected all “dictates” — from home or abroad. Outside on the streets, the sense that both sides are ready to fight to the end sharpened, with clashes between his supporters and opponents that left at least 10 dead.

Bloomberg:
Armed with machetes and clubs, vigilantes in Nigeria’s northeastern city of Maiduguri are setting up roadblocks and conducting house-to-house searches to aid the army’s fight against Islamist militants.
While the military welcomes the public’s support in the battle against the Boko Haram Islamist group, human rights activists say vigilantes’ activities may worsen violence and lead to abuses against innocent civilians.

So far the vigilantes have seized more than 100 suspected insurgents in Maiduguri, the Borno state capital that has borne the brunt of Boko Haram’s violent campaign to impose Shariah law on Nigeria, according to Abubakar Malum, a leader in a group that calls itself the Civilian Joint Task Force.

MAKHACHKALA, Russia, May 20 (Reuters) – Two car bombs killed at least four people and wounded dozens of others on Monday in one of the bloodiest attacks this year in Dagestan, a turbulent province in Russia’s North Caucasus region where armed groups are waging an Islamist insurgency.
Car bombs, suicide bombings and firefights are common in Dagestan, at the centre of an insurgency rooted in two post-Soviet wars against separatist rebels in neighbouring Chechnya.

Tunisian police clash with Islamists in Tunis, Kairouan
Tunisian police have clashed with radical Islamists in a Tunis neighborhood, after Salafist movement Ansar al-Sharia told its followers to gather for its annual congress. The move defied a government ban.
Hundreds of Salafists erected barricades in the streets of Ettadhamen, a poor neighborhood on the western edge of Tunis on Sunday. The crowd threw rocks at police, who fired tear gas canisters at the demonstrators.
One protestor has been killed in the skirmishes, according to Tunisia’s state news agency. The AFP news agency has reported that 11 police and three protestors have been injured.
The area saw clashes last week between the Salafists and Tunisian security forces, as they moved to stop the extremists from setting up tents from which to preach and disseminate their ideas. Click for balance:

Police in Bangladesh seem to have about had it with rioting muslims demanding total supremacy and death to islam-critics
These cops need better batons
And before anyone feels any sympathy for the ‘salafists’ remember what they are doing. They are:
1. Rioting to shut down 2 major cities in order to force islamic religious law on all
2. Demanding that anyone critical of point 1 be put to death.
3. Not waiting for point 2, they have targeted and murdered outspoken critics of islam and continue to do so.
This is no different than had the Nazis stormed the streets of New York or London and started rioting to demand Nazi rules and laws for everything be applied to those nations. It is an act of war and nothing less, even if it is disguised as civil disobedience. The police based on the reality of the situation are actually showing restraint. Shooting them like any army would shoot any violent invader attempting to force a political ideology not in accord with democratic principles would in fact be the rational thing to do.
