Africa: Mali Seeks Islamic Law
-COL DR. ABDUL RUFF
_______
These days, anti-Islamic strategists harp on rise of Islamists in Mideast following the Arab Spring for freedom. These nuts believe that any Islamist movement anywhere in the globe would make Muslims wise to understand the secret agendas of imperialist and colonialist forces. They therefore war the western rulers not to support freedom movements in Arab world because that would cause anti-Americanism.
The anti-Islamic rulers and their media nuts, who spared lies about Islam and Muslims, have taken full advantage of the Islamophobia and Osamaphobia. .
American terror analysts see terror everywhere wherever they look. They call every Muslim a terrorist or militant or insurgent. .
Western anti-Islamic writers in fanatic media hate Islam and are opposed to Islamic way of life, Islamic law, the Sharii’a. They want to impose laws crippling fundamental rights of Muslims.
Like in many Muslim nations, Muslims, also known now as Islamists are struggling to implement Islamic law in Mali.
Now Islamists are streaming into the northern Mali town of Gao, one day after ousting a Tuareg rebel group in clashes that killed at least 20 people. The new Islamist “fighters” arrived by truck throughout the day.
The Unity Movement for Jihad in West Africa (MUJAO) took complete control of Gao from the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad (MNLA) on 26 June. MUJAO's black flags and banners can be seen all over the city. The Ansar Dine, has brought more than 100 fighters in Gao to support MUJAO.
The MNLA fought alongside Ansar Dine earlier this year to seize northern Mali from government troops.
The Islamists whom the American nuts call as “militants”, more out of fear of losing importance than any real value, are patrolling the streets of Gao and witnesses say an undetermined number of MNLA members have been arrested. Also Thursday, leaders of the Islamist militant groups MUJAO, Ansar Dine and al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb held talks in Gao. It was not immediately clear what the leaders discussed.
The Tuareg group is seeking to form a separate state in northern Mali, while the Islamists want to implement a strict form of Shari’a law at long last. The two groups broke off a brief alliance after a dispute over Shari’a.
Malians have been holding demonstrations in the capital, Bamako, calling for the interim government to intervene in the north. The Malian army is struggling to reorganize after a coup in March of this year. The Tuareg rebels and Islamists seized control of the north in a fast-moving offensive shortly after the coup.
Mali should implement Sharii’a and let Muslims live like Muslims going beyond the skeleton formalities to practice Islam in full.
Non Muslims and anti-Muslims should support the sincere efforts of Muslims to lead an Islamic way of life.
Islam is the peaceful way of life!
Neither Islam is a crime nor is being a Muslim itself a crime just because Islam is targeted by all anti-Islamic rogues.
Western terrocrats cannot fool entire world forever!
Islamophobia, created by the CIA-Mossad gang to terrorize Muslims, will die down in a natural way!
Every Muslim nation will implement Islamic law!
