More evidence is emerging of alleged summary executions by Malian forces in the north of the country where French forces are completing their operations.

An eyewitness told BBC Newsnight he saw three Islamic students shot dead in a public place because they failed to show identity papers.

The Malian government has promised to investigate the allegations.

It says there should be no revenge attacks against people suspected of collaborating with the rebels.

But there are fears that militia due to be deployed to the north are seeking vengeance against Islamists and Tuareg separatists.

The main allegations against the Malian military involve claims of killings in Sevare, in the centre of the country, after Islamist rebels captured the nearby town of Konna on 10 January, prompting the French intervention.

A student in the town of Mopti, Muhammad Barry Obama, said he and others were now afraid to study the Koran outdoors for fear they might be arrested. But he insisted that he and most other pious Muslims had no sympathy with the Islamist rebels.

If they’re speaking Arabic, they’re probably not too welcome in that territory. They ruled there, and they were not very nice. Perhaps they should have considered those things before making the women walk around in welder’s uniforms and chopping off the hands and feet of men.

Now a days, saying that you’re a student of the Koran there is probably not in one’s long-term interest.

In other words, you make your bed, you sleep in it.

I would not believe any sh!t that these muzzies say. Muzzies have a history of lying and cheating there way into sympathy. Many Westerners are to stupid to realize they are being taken by lies.

And the same Leftists who think voter ID is an atrocity, will whole-heartedly back those who do the killing for lack of papers...
