#1 It is unclear to what extent terrorist groups are present in South Africa; however, the activity of al-Qaida and affiliated persons or groups in South Africa and Nigeria, home to Africas largest Muslim population, is of growing concern.

Certainly agree with all that, but when you see the administration (they call themselves "comrades") of SA President Thabo Mbeki snuggling up next to Iran and making statements in support of Iran's nuclear development, it kind of solidifies one's belief that SA may be in the thick of it as well. Another post-aparthied proof of the pudding is SA's and the ANC's quiet removal of Israel from it's holiday card list. Something to monitor.

#2 Seems to me, and I'm just thinking aloud here, but whenever the asshole quotient in one place, along with a coupla other factors, approaches some strange-brew threshold, a sort of critical mass is reached and it becomes an asshat magnet. Hence alQ crawls up from out of the sewers to spawn.

#3 This is in some ways counterintuitive.

Only if one relies strictly on intuition.
