Happy Malians and the dead jihadis: the ‘disgusting but wonderful’ war in photos

IN Mali, the fighting is brutal:

The crowd gawked at human torso remains lying in the rubble, along with other fragments of flesh. “It’s disgusting but wonderful to see. These people tortured us, they did nothing but damage here,” said Mahamane Tandina, 24, cheered on by the crowd. “We like this, frankly,” he said with a smile.

Islamists destroy ancient mosques in Mali

WHAT news from Timbuktu, Mali, where Islamist  Sanda Abu Mohamed has plans:

“We’re going to destroy everything before we apply Shariah in this city”

It’s like London’s Olympic vision, only with the IOC replaced by less expert sharpshooters and candour.

Sadly, this expert on Islam also wants to obliterate ancient Muslim tombs and mosques.
