Mali Troops Kill 16 Muslim Preachers En Route to Conference says news.. 
Mali’s military, already under fire for a coup earlier this year, is facing another public relations nightmare tonight, following news that soldiers in Diabaly killed 16 clerics from the moderate Dawa Islamist sect, including 12 Mauritanians. The official story from the military, which is promising a full investigation, is that the 16 were attacked and killed after “failing to stop” at a checkpoint. Officials say they just assumed the clerics were members of the al-Qaeda linked Ansar Dine faction at the time because many of them had long beards. They were on the way to a religious conference at the time. That story seems bad enough, but the version from Malian police is even worse. The police say that the clerics did stop at the checkpoint and were promptly arrested by the military, which then marched them out of town before executing them all.
The Dawa sect are deeply religious, but overwhelmingly non-violent, and are marked primarily by their efforts to proselytize among other sects as well as other religions for converts. In Mali, the Dawa have gained considerable popularity among Tuaregs.
there you go that is other end of Islam..
These guys apparently some sufi preachers of Islam and unfortunately had long beards.. and that is good enough to line them up and shot them in heads.. Islam came to west Africa in the 11th century and remains the predominant religion in most countries in that region. An estimated 90% of Malians are Muslim (mostly Sunni and Sufi), approximately 5% are Christian (about two-thirds Roman Catholic and one-third Protestant) and the remaining 5% adhere to indigenous or traditional animist beliefs.[60] Atheism and agnosticism are believed to be rare among Malians, most of whom practice their religion on a daily basis.[61] Islam as practiced in Mali is moderate, tolerant, and adapted to local conditions; relations between Muslims and practitioners of minority religious faiths are generally amicable. The constitution establishes a secular state and provides for freedom of religion, and the government largely respects this right.
On 22 March 2012, a group of junior soldiers seized control of the country's presidential palace and declared the government dissolved and its constitution suspended. On 6 April 2012, rebels from the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad (MNLA) declared the secession of a new state, Azawad, from Mali. Shortly after, the MNLA were sidelined by Islamist groups associated with Al-Qaeda, and dropped their demands for secession. Mali is currently being led by an interim government led by former President of the General assembly Dioncounda Traoré. Plans to re-take the north with international assistance are being formulated, after which the interim government plans to hold the long-delayed national elections.
Well that Moderate Islam became Viral Islam for political power and infighting.. and part of the game is played that Al-Queda..
