My experience has been as follows. When such reports appear in the media then after a short while the US/NATO forces take military action against them. These media reports are for creating a mood. Usually the action is there withing ten days. Shorter that period and enough people would not hear the news and thus there might be a reaction against US/NATO action. Longer period after media report is also not conducive because people's mind do not retain info for long. So just wait and watch how the action unfolds.

This is exactly what happens, as for the "Islamists" in question, Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) once said that the abscence of mercy in a thing renders it defective. I think this applies to plenty groups in the current day, groups that have a shall of Islam, not its inside and as a result they give everone else a headache. Allah knows about this group.

Muslims with a political agenda don't need to be hard hearted, just look at Sheikh Abdessalam Yassine in Morocco who is just as much of a Sufi as a promoter of Islam as the political reality http://yassine.net/en/
