How long can a gang of foreigners apply shariah? Not much long. The poverty and powerless state of Mali people is the only reason why these men armed with foreign guns are having nice time here. My fear is the reactionery apostasy that might result due to the harsh bedoin ways of these foreign gangs.

Please don't pass judgement without understanding the full nature of the situation. There are many foreign mujahideen there but most of them are in fact local mujahideen. If they are attacked, they will continue their jihad and I don't see how they are being harsh in any way; all they are doing is implementing the Sharia and if the locals find it harsh, then so be it. The Sharia cannot be changed for them
