Islamists Attack & Try to Destroy Historical Tombs & Protected Sites in Timbuktu

TIMBUKTU, Mali (The Blaze/AP) — A resident of the northern Mali city of Timbuktu says Islamists who control the town are trying to destroy tombs classified as UNESCO World Heritage sites.

(Related: ‘Islamic Police’: Islamists ‘Invade’ Mali & Ban Traditional Music, Alcohol, Unveiled Women & More)

Ali Yattara said Saturday that the Islamists began attacking the saints’ tombs with shovels. He says they said they were responding to UNESCO‘s request last week that the sites be put on the organization’s “in danger” list.

Islamists Attack Tomb of Askia in Timbuktu, Mali

UNESCO has said that two World Heritage sites in Mali — Timbuktu and the tomb of Askia — are threatened by conflict between competing rebel groups who have taken over the north. The San Francisco Chronicle reports more about the UNESCO protections:

“Timbuktu was an intellectual and spiritual capital and a center for the propagation of Islam throughout Africa in the 15th and 16th centuries,” UNESCO described the city now engulfed in fighting among government troops and two rival rebel forces. “Its three great mosques, Djingareyber, Sankore and Sidi Yahia, recall Timbuktu’s golden age.”

The mud-walled Tomb of Askia, built by the Emperor of Songhai in 1495 in his capital Gao, is described by UNESCO on its website as bearing testimony “to the power and riches of the empire that flourished in the 15th and 16th centuries through its control of the trans-Saharan trade.” Both sites are examples of the monumental mud-building traditions of the West African Sahel, the agency said.

Since Taureg separatists staged a coup in March against the Mali government based in Bamako, fighting between the Tauregs and the fundamentalist Islamic Ansar Dine faction for control of the northern treasures has raged around the historic venues.

Islamist fighters with ties to al-Qaida have declared that they control the northern half of Mali after driving out an ethnic Tuareg separatist group. The Telegraph has more about the horrific events unfolding in this portion of the African nation:

Residents of Timbuktu have since reported that Islamists have ordered women to wear full veils, whipped smokers and destroyed shopkeepers’ stocks of cigarettes.

An 18-year-old pregnant woman and her boyfriend were both lashed 100 times as punishment for “having a child out of wedlock”.

Ansar Dine and other Islamist factions in the north are backed by al-Qaeda’s north African branch, known as al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb.

Analysts fear that their control of the vast north could offer al-Qaeda a safe haven in the region.

Timbuktu was a center of Islamic learning as far back as the 12th century.

      The extremist Wahabi of Saudi Arabia want to destroy all Islam that is not Wahabi, and are the source of all anti-US terrorism.

      I’m not sure what you meant by obama was goaded to do it. Who do you think persuaded him? No one did, haven’t you heard obamas goal was to get start upprisings in Egypt and Libia! They usesd social networking to get it started. They wanted it like this! Now why would they want it like this? Maybe to usher in the NWO? Something way bigger than what were looking at is happening in the World. I believe obama did it to get the muslim brotherhood into power for their radical beliefs and Sharia Law. Obama wanted and asked for the muslim brotherhood to be at his Cairo speech when he was elected. Why didn’t obama say anything or do anything when the Iranian people wanted change? Or Syria, when the people started rising up? Look at the Belief of these two countries, Both have Shiite theology with Wahabbi “extremists beliefs” both with Sharia as its Law! Now look at the muslim brotherhood and their beliefs. Wahabbi style Govt., and Sharia Law! Now I‘m not sure if Hilary and the Left had known about obama’s true Goals, but you get be assured, he got what he wanted! Bringing the muslim world together, under Strict Sharia against the West! Obama wanted all of this and this was all pre planned for the End result of Islams ultimate goal. Sharia Law Worldwide and Islam as global religion. He’s the 12th imam/Global Caliphate! Thats why he sent letters to Iran through Turkeys embassy and back channels! Yes they have talked to the 12th Imam Global Caliphat

      Obama was goaded into by the former French & Italian Presidents. They wanted a stable Libya, no refugees & above all Libyan oil. They could not do it on their own. The asked Obama repeatedly to intervene.

      Maybe Obama was just biding his time & you are 100% correct. He might not known of of the Libyan uprising in July 2009 or later but merely took advantage of it to turnover the apple cart & slowly give advantages to radical Islam.

      If he comes put 3 years from now or later & says he was always a Muslim we’ll know you are right.

      I was going form the timidity point of view. I thought he was just too much of a leftists to want to mix it up until goaded. But when is a person timid when their side is winning? Maybe his side is the Muslim side as you say.

      I completely forgot about the French and Italian’s. I just read a story about Russia and China moving troops into Syria along with major amounts of weapons. I’m sure you had heard about Putin visiting Israel this past week? From what I read Puting told Israel that he would broker a peace deal between Iran, Turkey, and Israel. All he wanted from it was a contract for Israel’s oil they have just discovered! I’m not sure if you believe in the prophecy of the Bible, but I’m telling you our time is short on this Earth! I study allot of theology and Prophecy and the Bible lays out exactly how this is playing out right now. I think there‘s allot we don’t know about obama, but I get a bad feeling “6th sense” about him. It started long before he was elected! If you ask me, he reminds me of how hitler came to power, by the unions and people believing in him. What scares me the most is that he’s bringing the muslim world together! Now most people would say its just coincidence, but theres something very Evil thats not right about him. Even the way he got into the oval office! How he can lie to the American people without blinking an eye and yet people still think he’s god and drink his coolade. I don‘t believe he’s trying to get us out of debt, its more like hes drowning us in debt. Yes Bush added to the Deficit but obama is pushing us over the cliff. Why? I believe its to start the NWO and the NWO’s new currency thats allready made and waiting!

      The people used the local building material. As an engineer I am impressed. The Chinese used tamped earth, which is not much different. Given the construction of Chinese city walls during the medieval ages I dare say they fared well during the introduction of shot & shell when castle walls came tumbling down in the age of gunpowder. The original Great wall was made of tamped earth & later replaced. Hadrian’s Wall & the Antonine wall were initially made of turf

      Also during the days of the Wild West our near ancestors were using cow dung as fuel on the Great plains.

      The Kingdom of Mali was rich. They were so rich that, when the king went on haj, he depressed the value of gold having given so much out to the poor as he made his way to Mecca. Think about that.

      I would like to visit Timbuktu. There are things of cultural interest to see there. When I was young you able to travel in relative safety & see the whole world. Now inch by inch the whole world is a war zone. I blame the peaceniks, the nuclear freeze people (John Kerry), the left (Ted Kennedy) who wittingly or unwittingly carry water for the communists & Islamicists.

      There is an Islamic Angle on the Oklahoma city bombings. Terry Nichols spent a lot of time in the Phillipines in areas frequented by Islamic terrorists.

      Islamists in general have been at war with us since 1993 if not before.

      “Nichols and his wife frequently visited the Philippines, where she was working on a degree in physical therapy. He sometimes travelled to the Philippines alone, while she remained in Kansas.

      Cebu City in the Philippines was at the time a reputed base for several militant organizations, including the Liberation Army of the Philippines, the Communist Huk, and the Qaeda affiliate Abu Sayyaf” – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Nichols#Adulthood

      Stephen Jones, the trial attorney who first represented McVeigh, cited evidence of a meeting in Davao City, Mindanao, in 1992 or 1993, in which 1993 World Trade Center bomber Ramzi Yousef, al-Qaeda members Abdul Hakim Murad and Wali Khan Amin Shah, and a “farmer” fitting Nichols’s description met to discuss the Oklahoma bombing. Jones said the FBI was aware of the meeting.[23]

      Come off it macpappy, are you really going to define all Muslims based on a minority? What about someone like Joseph Kony and the LRA (lords resistance army). One of his primary concerns was to make Uganda a Christian country and he and his men would read from the bible before performing attacks. Does that make you and all other Christians barbarians? Islam may not be a pretty word to you, but Christianity has it’s fair share of ugly as well.

      No – it’s part of WHO muslims are. In their language it means submission – as in slave. All muslims are slaves to islam and they mean to inslave the entire world.

    Residents of Timbuktu have since reported that Islamists have ordered women to wear full veils, whipped smokers and destroyed shopkeepers’ stocks of cigarettes.

      The day they try to do that here in the U.S. is the day an all out war would begin (if it hadn’t already). American women would not put up with wearing hot, ugly crap like that. Most American men enjoy looking at women too much to put up with that either. I also think American men (for the most part) love and respect women and want what they want. Therefore, American women AND men would be fighting these barbarians.
