What has been taking place in Pakistan the last couple of months in regards to the Red Mosque and its members is a reminder not only of the global world war the west is involved in, but also a civil war in the Muslim world between those Muslims who are moderate and those Muslims who want to pratice Islam in its most pure form, including sharia law and the Islamic courts, as demostrated by those who were members of the Red Mosque is the largest challenge of the 21st century.

This most recent event must be viewed as a warning about future "red mosques" in other countries, including the west. This should be seen as a wakeup call to each of us to stand up and to guard our freedoms.
