Brother Zahed,

You are citing Reuters- do you have any authentic Muslim sources?
Reuters IS like the Associated Press- in fact, one can say the entire english language journalism/media industry is prejudiced against Islam. They select reporters, journalists, editors, columnists, who will perpetuate their prejudices. Hence, one can find sensationalized stories often from questionable sources regarding Muslim lands, but little to NO reporting of actual important developments of any kind.
"Who cares if the Saudis are going to build a bridge connecting Arabia with Egypt, connecting millions of people, opening trade and commerce, easing travel problems- let's hear about false necrophilia rumors and report them like fact".

And it doesn't matter if the name of the Reuters' reporter is Arab or Muslim- they might even prefer it. Rather, they want sensationalized stories. And quite frankly, there are many indications that 'reporters' make up stories and fabricate sources, especially if they are in the far reaches, like Timbuktu. One of the biggest left wing, liberal commentators from Britain who commented on Muslim affairs and the Gulf who cried about massive slavery here, who had an international following (perhaps millions read his columns) was caught fabricating quotes and twisting the words of sources to suit his agenda.
Here are some famous names: Jayson Blair, Stephen Glass, Johan Hari- all prominent reporters with millions of readers- all liars and frauds.

There have been prominent American 'reporters' as well caught totally fabricating stories, especially those from far away sources.

Quite frankly, Reuters, AP, AFP (French media source), UPI, etc. are all uncredible regarding Muslim affairs. And of course CNN, BBC, et al are with them. Articles on Muslim affairs need to be authenticated by devout Muslim sources. Especially when the issue comes to highly controversial highly volatile political events like implementing Shariah.

And take in mind, America has openly and brazenly stated that they use 'reporters' for government intel/ops cover- hence, it is quite reasonable to assume that an AP reporter in the Sahel could also be a CIA operative and he instills psych ops bullet points into his articles on 'Shariah in Mali'.

It's not even a conspiracy- its an occupational reality- journalists who some sense of fairness and professional integrity realize that they could be targetted as a spy because America and others (Israelis, Chinese? Russians) use the media for their psy ch ops.


As for what ulama say about whichever groups in Mali: why don't some prominent ulama go visit these groups and the Taureg like they visit the White House and Western elites? They can offer advice on how to implement Shariah. I recall some ulama approached the Taliban when they destroyed those buddhist statues. If a prominent alim can travel to Dubai and enjoy a 5 star hotel conference, can he also travel to Timbuktu in the desert and advice these brothers how to implement Shariah?
