This modus operandi has not changed in Islamic countries. Secure the main govenment by sending out the hatchet men to do your bidding - the militia groups will kill, loot, burn, etc. All in the name of Allah! Israel couldn't retaliate against the main stream Palestian Authority because Hamas, Islamic Jihad, etc., are "acting on their own".
But is it? The same applies in East Timor when such armed Moslem militias went on a killing spree of Christian East Timorese. Likewise in Malaysia during the infamous May riots. Again armed Moslem militia groups scoured the country to kill and miam the Chinese citizens into submissing to the so-called New Economic Policy (Dhimmitude Policy). The Moslem soldiers had disappeared when the militias appeared or worse, they suddenly appeared when the Chinese looked numerically superior.
Likewise, in Syria or Lebanon today. The burning of the European embassies is no accident. Look again at Darfur. Arab militia groups acting under you-know-who go round slaughtering fellow Moslems, albeit blacks! This strategy of using militia groups to achieve one's goal must be put to a stop. It's a win-lose for the non-Moslems.
