Mali: Muslims murder twelve villagers “to prevent people from farming”

[duluxe]

Fulani Muslims are herdsmen who don’t like farming or farmers. They are also jihadis. If any other group were the perpetrators here, this would be international news. Instead, you’re likely only to hear about it here.





“Armed Men Killed 12 Villagers in Central Mali,” International Christian Concern, July 18, 2020:

07/18/2020 Mali (International Christian Concern) – Armed militants killed over twelve villagers in central Mali on Thursday, July 9th. For months, several mass protests have demanded the current president of Mali, Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta, to resign for his failed attempts to root out the terrorists in Mali who have killed hundreds of civilians in the last seven months.
The neighboring town, mayor Ali Dolo, told Reuters, “The attacks are to prevent people from farming.”…
May God protect people living in the Mopti region (Central Mali) which has been attacked by Jihadists.

This is similar to the US where roaming cattles were a threat to the farming community and ends in violence 200 odd years ago.

the difference is that one evolves. Islam is a static religion. It doesn't evolve because it is "perfect". It is a political tool trapped in 1400AD thinking.

US resolve this by having trucks and highways. So cattle get shipped to the markets.
Mali? Its half desert. Any surviving grass or arable land will have to be fought for. Just like what happened in sudan Darfur region.

The ethnic conflict in Darfur has been persistent. Darfur is home to six million people and several dozen tribes. Darfur is split into two: "those who claim Black 'African' descent and primarily practice sedentary agriculture, and those who claim 'Arab' descent and are mostly semi nomadic livestock herders".[2]

And desertification not helping much.the Sahara us expanding.

It it OK as long as Muslims kill each others.

Killing is forbidden.
For those in Mali and Darfur, grazing ground snd agriculture land are precious. If the cows don't eat, the community will die. Similarly, if the farmers cannot grow. So its a desperate measure to survive in a dry climate.

Why 1400? Islam was founded in the AD 630+ .

Killing is not forbidden in islam. It is actually encouraged. Moslems, at the urging of their religious teachers, have killed non-moslems who do not accept islam or pay protection money. Even when paid, jizya only stops large scale military invasions, not raids by small bands of moslem bandits, which is still religiously permissible by their imams.

Darfur is split into two: "those who claim Black 'African' descent and primarily practice sedentary agriculture, and those who claim 'Arab' descent and are mostly semi nomadic livestock herders".[2]

In summary, the Arabs who are in Darfur are alien colonizers, stealing land from non-moslem native africans. But it is okay to moslems because the land stealers and settlers are moslem and arab, instead of Jews.


Non-Arab people were reportedly raped by Janjaweed militiamen as a result of the Sudanese government's goal of completely eliminating the presence of black Africans and non-Arabs from Darfur.[173] The Washington Post Foreign Service interviewed verified victims of the rapes and recorded that Arabic terms such as "abid" and "zurga" were used, which mean slave and black. One victim, Sawelah Suliman, was told by her assailant, "Black girl, you are too dark. You are like a dog. We want to make a light baby."[174]
