Firstly, the source and the news has to be verified. Allah says in the Quran (interpretation): "Verify the news from a fasiq because it may mislead". This is a time of great fitnah my brother. Just few days ago Taliban attacked a hotel in Kabul. The news channels denounced the act as an attack on civilians while the Taliban media fronts and the unjustmedia site were quoted as saying that the attack killed dozens of Foreign diplomats, American/NATO military personnel and Afghan army soldiers. Tell me who would you trust???

Secondly, neither me nor (i guess) are you in Mali to make an accurate judgement about the situation. To form a judgement or an opinion one has to have first hand information unless either he will criticize people who are rightly fighting in the path of Allah/working to raise Allah's Deen or we will fall into supporting wrong people who are not on the right path.

Thirdly, as far as i have followed Al-qaeda and its movements in various countries, there has been no imposition of Shariah in any place. The masses are first made to accept Shairah. And in some places like Yemen there were even concessions especially made initially in Shariah just to help people get acclimatized to the new system and then gradually the system was implemented. They are always of the notion that "Shariah has to be implemented on the people thus the 'people' must be satisfied before its implemented in its full essence".

Wallahu Aalam. (I may be wrong).
