Mention world propagation of of Islam, Qadaffi (Libya) and Iran supporting Mandela, ANC and UDF connection. For some excellent research on Hamas and other splinter groups by C.J.B le Roux & HW Nel, go to Radical Islamic Fundamentalism in South Africa. An Exploratory Overview.

Link to terrorism against USA (Pipe-bomb in Planet Hollywood restaurant in Cape Town on 25 August 1998. This was a prelude to the World Trade Center terrorist attack. South Africa is not insulated from these world events - actually, they are an integral part - as a large number of Muslims have infiltrated the SA parliament and will influence more and more foreign policy in the Southern African arena.

Finally, the history of radical Islamic Fundamentalist development in the Middle East and North Africa have shown that radical Islamic Fundamentalism thrives best in countries where there are little or no democracy, where government is corrupt, autocratic and intolerant to criticism, where there is massive unemployment, widespread poverty, and high levels of crime. South Africa is "a ripe plum ready to fall into the Fundamentalist clutches."
