...Nasrallah went into hiding along with other Hizballah leaders, he continues to issue statements, telling al-Jazeera TV, for example, that he was not harmed by what Israeli officials described as a 23-ton bomb attack on a suspected Hizballah leadership meeting. Such is the bravado of the Islamic fundamentalist leader, who is hailed throughout the Arab world for fighting Israel while other Arab leaders sit on their hands. He gets credit not only for standing up to Israel right now but also for leading a guerrilla war that was widely seen as driving Israeli forces out of Lebanon...
...Many in the country's fledgling parliament are also up in arms and say President Karzai has resurrected the department to placate conservative mujahedin warlords and fundamentalist clerics.

Just as revanchist leftists fight with the New Democrats for control of the Democratic Party, G.O.P. traditionalists--America-firsters, Fundamentalist Christians--have long battled neoconservatives from the right...
...pressure to put an Iraqi face on the insurgency. ("Al Baghdadi" implies he is from Baghdad.) At the beginning, five groups were represented on the council, including Al Qaeda in Iraq. The number of groups has expanded to nine, says Abu Bara. The groups are all Islamic hardline fundamentalist fighters with names like Brigade of Abu Bakr the Salafi and Battalion of the Foreigners. At the time it was formed, Zarqawi named Abu Abdullah Rasheed al Baghdadi (who had until then been known as Abu Hamza al Baghdadi) to head the council, technically putting al Baghdadi in a rank above...
